What is a Radiohead Album Worth to You?
Tuesday, October 2, 2007 8 comments (latest by Aaron Again)
Radiohead has set the internet abuzz with the announcement of their new album, In Rainbows will be available next week for download with no set price. The way it's set up, when you go to pre-order the album, there is a field where you are prompted to entry what you want to pay for it. They don't even have a suggested price, the default is an empty field.
I haven't placed my order yet because I'm not sure how much I should pay and I think I'll just wait until after the release to see what is actually included in the download. My dilemma isn't over whether to pay, because I'm planning on giving them $15 or so, which seems fair for a full length album, I just don't want to pay now for a download and pay a second time if they release it on CD with additional liner notes and artwork.
That assumes they even will release a CD, and one worth buying. The main reason I still buy CDs is to have a backup copy in case anything happens to my music library since you never know if there will be anything worth while in the liner notes or it will just be a simply insert with one page of credits. If the album can be downloaded again for free (because I would have paid the first time) then I don't need the CD at all.
So what are you going to pay them for the album? Do you plan on paying anything for it?

Arcade Fire, Rain or Shine

I hadn't been to concert in years and I was so amazingly excited to see Arcade Fire in concert friday. I was so excited I wasn't even going to let the predicted rain ruin it for me, despite the fact we had lawn seats where there would be no cover. Chris, Casey, Michael and I where in luck though because the concert hadn't sold out and a guy was walking around the lawn giving free upgrades to assigned seating.
At first I was hesitant about the seating, because I've always had more fun on the lawn (where there are giant screens the show is projected on) than spending more for nearly the same view of the stage (minus the big screens) but the upgrades were free and we moved as soon as the rain started.
And it started with a bang too. We have about one thunderstorm a year, though in the san francisco bay area that meant just two thunder strikes. The first strike as the rain started and another right as LCD Soundsystem was coming on stage. The rain ended a few minutes after they began playing for the most part held off so we could enjoy the show.
It turned out Michael and had heard more of LCD Soundsystem than the couple songs we knew and Arcade Fire was amazing live on stage.
