this business model is well similar to shareware, which is fine if you are a small company because exposure is easy if you are offering something unique. all a user has to do is search software listings for tags and features. its different when you apply it to the music industry tho, cos only hugely known bands can generate enough interest to make it profitable. you need a huge amount of downloads for it to work. so while it appears to be a stab at being more democratic, its actually very monopolist. if the whole industry adopted this model then there would be no chance of new or smaller artists making any money at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah. that just sounds like a boo-hoo'ing record industry trying to scare other artists from doing this. self promotion is easier now than ever. just have to move away from the label oriented paradigm. this model can be implemented by small labels and web labels as well. It's relatively inexpensive which levels the playing field. |
||||||||

|
|
160kbps doesn't scare me off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno, i hate how hi hats and cymbals sound on mp3's at 160kbps or less. all like crunchy or something. all like hitting a pile of broken glass instead of a hi-hat. not that this release will sound like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHY? HOW? I can only hear a difference at 96 kbps. Am I deaf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most probably |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
160 kbps? it's a scam people, a £1 scam |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
u really think so? this is already happening via myspace and i dont see a high percentage of their users getting rich that way well whatev if people wanna do it its all good go for it i dont care im sorted either way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also , sorry to break this to you but theres about 50 small labels a week going under right now its fukin carnage |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have to look to the future man the future is TOMORROW! |
||||||||
|
|

see you there then |

Since they are giving the album for free, will they get pissed if we download the 320's off bit torrent ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or the ISO ? |

Thom's only In Rainbows interview Interview:So thom, what do you think of your new album? Thom:it's shit Interview:eurg.. really? Thom:yeah, it's shit. I always think that about anything we put out. I mean, come on, we spent years fiddling about with stuff and working out we didn't like any of it. What makes this any different? Interview:well, you decided to put it out Thom:I know. well, we did it to stop me going mad. the ever revolving doors need to wind down eventually. we're like bullets in a gun, we need to be fired so the gun can be reloaded. i'm like America, the rest of the band can fuck off. Interview:ok. tell us a bit about the record then? Thom: there's nothing to tell. my fans have decided to paste all of our songs on youtube. Interview: fair enough, but isn't that a good thing? Thom: no, it's shit Interview: it's shit again? Thom:yes, it is. I thought that playing an entire album of new material would not end up on the Internets like that. I thought my fans were idiots. I can barely write words down properly on pieces of paper let alone predict how good people are with the Internets. Interview:well, what do you want to talk about? Thom:I'll talk about Jonny. I find him alluring, don't you? Interview:you are married with kids. Thom:I know, I just fantasise about busting a load on his buttock Interview: we're wrapping up. |

160 kbps ain't good enough, DAMNSHIT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
160kbps - and some people actually paid for that!?! I'm amused by your past enthusiasm over this so called "free" release... :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha ha ha, PWN on the people who paid for this. :D |
||||||||
|

it's for a greater cause *grumble grumble* |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|

|
|
lolz there were actually some peeps on oink having it transcoded to 192 |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I heard they recorded this album with the help of an pre-release copy of Reason 4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
somebody please upload and link. i will not be going to sleep tonight until i have it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Downloaded and on my phone and a CDr ready for the car. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
upload it to anything but megaupload, please. |
||||||||
|
|

|

So is anyone actually listening to this yet? I'm curious what the consensus is on the first couple of tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening. and enjoying my friend currently has my ipod damnit : P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holy shit. reckoner. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is listenable. people who have heard the live versions might understand why im shocked : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sendspace that shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's good. |

Well I was going to try to be funny and say how whenever I listen to Radiohead all that comes to mind are classic Sesame Street animations. Well, searching for some on youtube I discovered ¡Forward, Russia! and have to say I am quite pleased with this band as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you have soulseek? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was just curious, nevermind. It would take too long to put there. The first song is great, second so-so, listening to the third now. The production's much more fleshed out than what I was expecting (sub-par idm dooding like Amnesiac Eraser). Dowload was surpisingly fast also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha i loved bodysnatchers. i guess i lvoed most of it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I seriously think a 256+ kbps release would have made this sound like an entirely different album. Take "Videotape" for example. Its still good, but not the smartest move imho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
er, releasing in 160 that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't let me down, pirate bay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just downloaded it. Will listen now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay, listening. first song is kind of pleasant so far but not terribly exciting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bodysnatchers is really crappy. i think radiohead have just stopped trying to write actual songs. |
||||||||
|

Around 6am this morning, while listening to httt i realised i shouldve been in bed hours ago. I turned the tunes off, flicked on the TV (as the news always cures my insomnia) and what should i see? thom yorke! Well it got my interest up so i waited for the story to come on half an hour later. Im so happy, i didnt even know it was finished. Yeah, actually i have been living under a rock. Downloaded it at 450kbps and am sat here enjoying it as i type this pointless story. My favourite so far is All I Need. Reckoner has just started and is sounding good so far. I wish it wasnt so early so that i could whack the volume right up. |
