In Rainbows is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Radiohead. The latter group gave the band its name - its an album track on 1986s True Stories. At some point in the early 21st century, Radiohead became something more than a band: they became a touchstone for everything that is fearless and adventurous in rock, inheriting the throne from David Bowie, Pink Floyd, and the Talking Heads.

And yes, the price can be 1p, although when we chose 1p and Mastercard, a 45p credit/debit card charge was added.Whether you buy the DISCBOX or the DOWNLOAD, you can get your digital copy of the album from 10th October 2007.So, what Radiohead are basically saying is that you name your price to download the album.you can specify £0.00 to bypass the debit/credit card check.I think it's a very interesting way to launch the album.Radiohead are one of the most pirated bands on the web, so, by launching the album in the way they are, they will satisfy core fans, who will go for the discbox for £40.(that will be a collectors item if it's numbered) and they will also satisfy bit torrent fans, i.e. If buy the DOWNLOAD by itself (which comes without the content on the enhanced CD), you can choose the price. But you also get the download with this package, from October 10th.Here's the interesting part. Discboxes are being made to order and will be shipped on or before December 3rd. All this comes encased in a hardback book and slipcase. It contains the album on CD and on 2 x heavyweight 12" vinyl, plus an enhanced CD containing "NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK".
That is a great question, I am waiting to see what the future holds for Radiohead on that topic.In the Drupal group I created for OpenMusic, I coined the term WebLP, and when I first heard in this post about DiscBox, I thought it would be something similar to WebLPs. Whether they'll do decide to take upon the overhead of organizing their gigs directly, that is something only time can tell.Being a loyal fan of Radiohead for years, I believe they chose this path in order to stir things up, as a way to protest against the current fashion of selling music for a fixed price - one that is determined by someone least eligible to put price tags on music.Another point that has been brought up at Record of the day is whether DiscBoxes or downloads are legible for inclusion in the charts. However, the Radiohead database will probably have millions of users logging in on the 10th Octobe to download the album.so it would require a pretty serious server solution to satisfy that demand.It would make sense to bypass ticketmaster, and that is what their move dictates. Radioheads management team have the contact details for millions of people who like radiohead and would probably like to go to a gig if they play a city close to them over the next year or two.I don't know about you guys, but, I think it's an inspired idea.From a Drupal point of view.the eCommerce suite of modules can handle all this data capture and pre-ordering.
Would you be cheeky and offer a very low bit rate for people who have chosen a very low price for the album download? (Just kidding, but, that would be funny) On the 10th of october, I guess well over 1 million people will login to download their copy of the MP3 version of the album.That's not only a lot of logins to handle in one day.but it's also a lot of downloads to handle simultaneously.How would you handle/manage the huge demand for album downloads on the 10th of October.? Radiohead are such an inspiration!OpenMusic, a network of Drupal based music social communitiesHere's an interesting poser, though, from a Drupal point of view.i.e. I am seriously thinking about following the same road as Radiohead regarding WebLP price though.

Probably the tracker would check for duplicate passkeys and then ban those. I'm not sure exactly how this works, but I think it is possible. Pulling in a corporate service provider to provide the bandwidth and servers just for the peaks in demand is probably a safe option, but, it doesn't have the same warm, DIY, buzz of how they are launching the album.Although, having said that, I'm not sure if it is possible to create a 'private' bit torrent in such a way that stays within the domain of the band.On some private torrent sites it embeds a passkey in the torrent file and will supposedly kick you off or ban you from the torrent if you re-upload or share the torrent with others. Would you setup a private bit torrent.so the albums can be delivered using the bit torrent model but only to fans who have submitted their details & "bought" the album at radiohead.com (even if they entered a £0.00 price)?The last option is my favourite (bit torrent option). Would you send out the special link to the login page in batches, pointing to different mirrors? Would you setup a series of mirrors and some sort of throttle management system?
At least with Amazon S3, it might end up cheaper.So my vote would be to provide both methods of downloading (HTTP + Bittorrent), but advertise bittorrent as the superior method of downloading. However if you are generating enough downloads and bandwidth where your server is crashing, I can't think of any other option than bringing in the big guns, or paying more money. But, no warm fuzzy feeling. One cool feature is that they provide the option to either download the file via HTTP or via bittorrent, automatically.
Ironically, bands on myspace, which is essentially a social networking version of MP3.COM, who develop some traction, end up signing traditional publishing and recording contracts.The only value in this for upcoming artists is that I think you will find more bands/artists signing 3 and 4 album deals in future, rather than 6 or 7 album deals that became the norm a while back. That site had zillions of free music downloads but it collapsed under the weight of the sheer volume of unscene and unheard music on there. It's like what happened with the original MP3.COM. You could even include more stuff with the bittorrent file to make the incentive higher.What Radiohead are doing (selling direct) isn't a new idea.but the idea of catering for the freeloaders at the same time is and it's very clever.However, that model is only really applicable to bands/artists that have a large profile.such as bands/artists out of contract with a major or significant independent label (a non major associated indie label).Upcoming/unsigned/DIY label bands have been giving their music away for free for years and/or selling direct from their own websites.The problem with all that free music is that consumers don't have the time to filter out the good stuff.
Every artist/band wants as many people to listen and love their music as possible. Perhaps in the end they will transform (or dissolve.) into exactly that, music critics inside the bigger scenery of a self-sustaining music community.I don't think it's strange that they are planning a regular CD launch in the new year.When you consider the amount of people who don't like or simply won't shop/download stuff online (there are still quite a lot of people who prefer to go to record Shops) and how long it took cassette tapes to be phased out, it makes perfect sense. Now if that could be done in a more organized fashion, say official fan crews (shameless plug, again), and IF that would ever really work well and not prove to be disastrous, there would be less and less windup in constraining contracts, and significantly more freedom of expression for the artists.On the topic of the long tail, I wholeheartedly agree that we need labels to filter out the wrong stuff. I know it's a conversation we've had before, but it's the only logical assumption I can make by closely watching myspace bands use myspace as a promotional tool. But does an artist really need a label to do all that stuff? Because in order for the artists to receive these benefits, they have to pass over the rights of their own music to an Industry that is not quite sure what to do with them, yet.My observations have led me to the conclusion that to a certain extend, artists can have DIY promotion by taming the power of internet in general and social networks combined with fan crew power in particular. This looks like it will work out very well for Radiohead, business wise, but, from a music point of view.it really unleashes an extraordinary amount of creative freedom.And the real value in these contracts is promotion, the image and the following that is built for the bands by the funding of the labels.
