radiohead is offering cell-phone ring tones for sale at their official store.
i'm not usually one to complain about artistic integrity etc.
but,
is there no end to the whoring?

I liked the plan they had with the two singles that came out after hail to the thief. Each one cost $15 and had 4 tracks. The sneaky part is that being singles, each disc had one track from the album, so right off the bat that leaves only 3 unreleased tracks on each. Secondly, only two of those 6 available tracks was worth listening to. Lastly, those two good tracks weren't on the same disc so you had to buy both if you wanted to legitimately own them. $30 plus 14.5% tax (in BC) for two good tracks. Go Radiohead!!!

Oh shit, I messed that up.
Go To Sleep discs 1 and 2 both only have 3 tracks. The single Go To Sleep is on both, so if you own the album as well, you've paid for that song three times. Each disc has one other good song and one bad song.
So: You get go to sleep twice, which was one of the most boring songs from that album.
You get two bad songs You get two good songs, but on different discs you can't cut any corners or anything. And you still have to pay $30 for the deuce.
wow. That's not very nice of them.

Not that I don't love Radiohead, I do. But fuck guys, stop pretending you're Apple. Do you really need to charge the same price as most full albums cost for a fucking single?

I only asked since when, not why :-p
Anyway, the store where I bought them was selling both those singles together for the price of one.
And I hardly think Radiohead purposely wants to release bad songs. I'm sure they themselves think everything they put out is interesting enough to be heard by the world. The fact that you didn't like 2 songs doesn't mean they are bad.

Yeah. Apple releases quality stuff, but they know they're the only people you can get it from so they charge whatever the hell they want for it. I love my iPod so much but I still can't believe I paid $700 CAD for it.
