In Rainbows In 10 Days

What an incredible move by the biggest band in the world. With a "Fuck You" to the music industry, Jonny Greenwood posted on the Dead Air Space blog that the new album In Rainbows, codenamed lP7 for the last 3 years by fanboys/girls, will be released as a download on their site in a mere 10 days! The catch: you can pay whatever you want for it, $0 to $99.

I've followed the progress of these songs since their concert premiere's in 2003-2006, and this is just incredible, as the unsigned band decided to cut out the middle man and put it out themselves. Dedicated fans can also pay $80 the "Discbox" set the band have compiled, which includes the CDs, vinyls, lyrics sheets, books, and various art. I'm considering going for it. Also, along with the actual album, the Discbox includes another CD of extra songs, which were staples during the last tour (and some of my favorites from the new stuff).

Also, expect the Carl Winslow Show to do something with this incredible occasion. Possibly a listening party in which we call up the whole gang for a reunion in the studio. I will consult with Beartrap over this...it's easily the biggest release of 2007 after all.
