Fans of Radiohead woke up to a treat this AM: the moody, groundbreaking Brit band's new album 'The King of Limbs,' hit the 'Net. While the album is more expensive than the pay-what-you-want 'In Rainbows,' this $48 opus is fully loaded: two 10-inch vinyl records, 625 pieces of artwork and, of course, the MP3 version. For the thrifty, the digital download is available for $9 now. Check out the ...

For their next record, the technologically driven members of Radiohead apparently want to pay homage to a noticeable victim of the Internet Age -- the newspaper. According to Wired, Radiohead has labeled its upcoming record 'The King of Limbs' as "the world's first newspaper album," and will fittingly release it in a variety of editions. You'll be able to purchase digital copies online (for a ...

We live in an age when the fidelity of our music is seemingly less important than our ability to easily access, transport, and share it. As vinyl records were eventually replaced almost entirely by CDs as the predominant music format, MP3s and other files have now become the standard. They are digitally compressed (to varying degrees), making them sound significantly 'thinner' (read: lower ...

Some of the most popular musicians in the UK have decided to collectively protest what they see as poor treatment both from online music streaming sites (YouTube, MySpace, etc) and from the record companies that do business with them, according to CNET. Essentially, the artists have joined to create the most creatively inspired group of lobbyists, ever. The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) is ...

At this year's You are in Control conference, in Iceland, Warner Chappell will tell the world what our three-year-old golden retriever already knows...The groundbreaking release of Radiohead's 'In Rainbows', though not flawless, was a massive success. For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, here's a little back story... A year ago, Radiohead released its newest album on its ...

Radiohead have consistently proven themselves to be unpredictable and at the technological forefront of the music industry. Their latest experiment however, takes things in a surprising new direction. The band's new video for its song 'House of Cards' was filmed without any cameras. The media player-visualizations-on-steroids video was created using a pair of 3D scanners: One from a company ...

It takes some serious game to rise above the legions of mediocre DIYers out there and stand tall as a true legend. Judging by the video posted up after the cut, James Houston can now consider himself one of the elite. Somehow, this cat managed to tackle the nearly impossible task of remixing Radiohead's Nude without defacing it entirely (read: merging bits and pieces of the tune into a 4/4 ...

Along with the Beatles, one of the biggest hold outs on iTunes has been the art-rock geniuses Radiohead. The dispute that has caused this delay has been over the bundling of Radiohead's albums. The band gave EMI permission to distribute its music digitally as long as the albums weren't broken up into individual songs. iTunes requires that albums be unbundled and for sale as individual tracks. ...

Radiohead has certainly been making waves lately, first by releasing its latest album 'In Rainbows' for free, then inviting fans to make its next music video, and, finally, releasing the individual elements of the song 'Nude,' inviting fans to stitch them back together however they see fit. After all was said and done -- the submission process ended last night -- the band received 2,254 remixed ...

British band Radiohead announced that it won't be modeling future album launches after its name-your-own-price release of last year's 'In Rainbows.' In October of 2007, Radiohead bypassed releasing the album through a record label and allowed fans to set their own price -- yes, even $0.00 -- for the10-track set. "It was one of those things where we were in the position of everyone asking us ...

After releasing its last album, In Rainbows, as a pay-what-you-like download last year, Radiohead is holding a little contest: the winner gets $10,000 -- and the chance to make the band's next video. Along with online animation studio Aniboom, Radiohead will be searching the world for someone fit to create a full-length music video for the band. They're asking contestants to submit storyboard ...

Fortune magazine, like everyone else under the sun, is getting in on the year-end list making fun with The '101 Dumbest Moments in Business'. Of interest to us is number 58. "Radiohead - Can't wait for the follow-up album, 'In Debt.'"

Who needs to go out on New Year's Eve? Not you -- it's amateur night. You don't want to fight for a drink at the bar, there will be several hundred people crowded into your favorite night spot designed for 50, and who wants to go to their friends party anyway? The question is: What do you do if you stay in on New Years? You can't ignore it, it's on every channel, and Dick Clark's "New Year's ...

Last week we reported that, according to ComScore, 62% opted to pay nothing for Radiohead's latest album: 'In Rainbows'. What the company didn't indicate was just how many of those two million actually downloaded the album, which would have given some indication of the statistical validity of those numbers. Now Radiohead itself is stepping forward (or spokespeople for the band anyway) and ...
