I filled ot everything and put 0 dollars and 0 cents. There was a line for your credit card and I didn't fill it out. I don't see how they could have charged me.

It really is.

Radiohead are in a position where they could do anything. ANYTHING. They have the money, tools, the loyal "open-minded" fans that (to a degree) expect something "different". Sonic Youth are the same.

As supposed progressive and experimental bands, it really is an incredible position that they're in. They could do ANYTHING, and this is what they come up with.


Fuck em.

Radiohead's marketing/promotion idea could've been taken further, granted, but they've made another good album. It keeps growing on me.

The marketing/promotion does not interest me. I am talking about the music. Musically, they could do anything. They could sit in a studio for 3 years and make a record that sounded like whitehouse playing orchestral dub.

"Oh they've done it again! The geniuses!"

but no, they continue with the crying over boring music.

i'm having a discussion with a friend about this. he says it? just a marketing move. he says all the fans will probably pay for the album, and even some more will pay more than intended for a supposedly free download. this way - he says - they are in some way manipulating the fans making them do what they really want them to do- while they think they are free to pay anything.
also they had a shitload of publicity for doing this.
this vision disturbs me a bit, i dont know if its way too much cynism and cold-blooded observation, but i think that he's right in a way too.

Yes.

It's not so cynical...it's a Pearl Jam move for the 2000s.

and? i mean, wtf? not liking radiohead is one thing--i can understand that completely--but expecting them to do something sufficiently experimental to the ears of clortho, just because they have the resources, is kind of mortarded. why wouldn't they just make something that feels right to them? do you invoke the fury when shellac sounds like shellac?

I think the point was, if you're giving it away free then there's no pressure to make it hugely commercial - therefore you have the freedom to be as experimental as you like, a situation not often experienced by bands signed to majors.

I think brilliant is good enough for me. no need to be more experimental.
