"A poll made my Gigwise.com had a total of 3,000 participants saying on average they paid £4 for the album. Multiply that by the 1.2 million copies of the album now on fans' computers, and you get £4.8 million pounds!" |

It's not a huge surprise, I mean they are fucking famous as hell. They make it seem like THE BIG BAD RECORD LABEL WAS STEALING THEIR MONEY, but with out them they would NEVER be able to make this amount own there own. There are 5 million of bands that would not make 10 million their first week, not due to talent, but due to fame and popularity. If aphextwin did this, he wouldn't see 10 million the first week. |

i've not stopped listening to it. i think it's wonderful. such a return to form from that HTTT shite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, the album is recorded very well, it's not cock rock at all so big ups for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent album one of few that i can listen right through |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I agree. It's not just talent that gets you that sort of a following, although I'm sure that can help. Without all the press and exposure they got before through a label, they'd never have been able to make this much without a label. |

|
|
yeah |

|

I don't think they have much of an anti-industry stance. I don't think releasing it like this is a statement - its just because they're in a position to do so and have a bit of control over how its done. |

ie on the same site |

I say we start calling them "sellouts" see how they feel then about thier choices- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's only right. they deserve to be rich for what they do. |

"Mo money, Mo problems" |

| |||||||||
|

it depends on how you get mo money i'd say. i wouldn't mind a million right now and i think my problems would pretty much vanish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same, but make it two million for me. |

indeed. from greenplastic.com: What’s motivating the band to distribute the album this way? Just getting it out quickly. It was kind of an experiment as well; we were just doing it for ourselves and that was all. People are making a big thing about it being against the industry or trying to change things for people but it’s really not what motivated us to do it. It’s more about feeling like it was right for us and feeling bored of what we were doing before. Why give people the option to pay whatever they want? It’s just interesting to make people pause for even a few seconds and think about what music is worth now. I thought it was an interesting thing to ask people to do and compare it to whatever else in their lives they value or don’t value. |

I should have mentioned that this is an excerpt from an interview with Johnny Greenwood. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neither will radiohead on their 5th release this way cos it wont be on the news any more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you figure it pretty much amounts to a massive publicity stunt? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah a fucking good one as well but only works for first release so they got in there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's all about publicity when radiohead is in question. i mean there's tons of nicer music but you don't see this much hype around it. radiohead are good at selling themselves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got the album from internets for free, haven't got the time to listen to it yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Radiohead are the Britney Spears of rock music, no talent, all image, this is how they got to where they are. right so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
would it help your impression of them if they sampled some bloody touvan throat-singing on their next album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are not trying to sell anything, just getting thier musics out there and bucking the system in the process, they dont need hype or publicity, they are Radiohead, for christs sake. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AWWW FUCK DUDE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah youre wrong theyve got loads of talent theyre a bit cheesy but theyre very good in equal measures even if loads of its ripped off other people theyre like the beatles theyre well good at assimilating (usually) and theyve commodified their dissent very effectively innit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything after Kid-A is perfect to my ears... they are not Mtv sluts and whores like Brit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes - recycle, "george", i wasn't agreeing with tolstoyed, and I wasn't stating what I said in that post as my own personal opinion. I'm a huge fan of radiohead, and I can't believe what tolstoyed said that "t's all about publicity when radiohead is in question" and that "they're good at selling themselves". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got it yeah if it was all about publicity im sure they could be the next saatchis ha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are good at selling themselves that what good, i mean great artists do, have you ever heard of the aphex twins- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not all of them do that i can think of tons that havent musics such a specified discipline that youre bound to get diff people slanting it diff ways, some are good at pr some are not, same way as some are good at drawing or cooking or lying they come in all shapes and sizes innit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank god (if there is one) for "different shapes and sizes" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's all this about publicity stunt bullshit? it's not. they don't need it. whatever they do it's gonna get lots of attention. because it's readiohead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what if there isnt one who are you gonna thank then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your logic is flawed i didnt see them wiping their asses on the news today |
||||||||
|
|

If inrainbows isn't all hype, why isn't Xltronic's donation bar higher this month? I;m sure the people that payed for it could afford a dollar or 2 for XLT. Maybe radio head will donate 0.01% of their 10 million (which would be $1000.00) to this message board. God knows how many fans here supported them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does xlt need money, what would change.....V2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's so funny because the same people who shat on venetian snares for the dumbest things are praising the ten million dollar band this week. I'm all for supporting artists ... that need support. It would be very cool if they donated all the money (or at least 75%) to some charities or some music/art schools. They would still have 2.5 million. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont see the radioheads being a rap/or hip hop artists spending all their money on bling, grillz, cars and bitches, im sure they donate a lot of it towards the planet and take care of thier family\\\friends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your logic is flawed, radiohead are not known for their ass wiping talent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok we can bet on their next lp will it get on the news i say it wont what u say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i must admit, after listening a few times to this.. at first is was a clear **** but now its just *** i think. its not really long lasting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure it will. because they wont release another original LP like in 20 years or something. it's gonna be the 'radiohead comeback! yaddy yadda...' news item. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont be so cynical |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? Well I'm all for supporting artists who create beautiful art. That's the only criterion I find to be relevant. If I enjoy its beauty, then I shall reward them with my respect, admiration and monetary credit. |
