Those who are true fans will find something fascinating about their craft. IN RAINBOWS is true genius! Those who know will go.

And in fact, I think it actually *won't* work as well for bigger acts like Radiohead, who have come to define success as dropping a record and raking in massive amounts of cash. Instead, this is the way that smaller acts, who are used to having to hustle for their money by touring and selling merch and who consider success merely being able to make a decent living doing something they love, will be able to take market- and mind-share away from the major label acts who have exploited the labels' historical choke-hold on mainstream distribution. IMHO the quintessential example of this shift is the difference between how Trent Reznor, an artist used to selling millions of CDs, and Saul Williams, an artist used to having to open for bigger acts just to get a proper gig, have both viewed the results of their Radiohead-esque release of Saul's latest album. This interview is a great read and I think Saul represents the prototypical music artist of the future: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9848536-7.html Totally agree that this is the start for the new model of the music industry.

It's rare that I want to listen to any album more than once, but maybe I've heard too much. I think I'm an anomaly...I loved "Kid A" best. Go figure.
