Rock 'n' Roll sticks it to the collective man

Have we all gone to www.inrainbows.com and downloaded Radiohead's gorgeous new album "In Rainbows"? You have no excuse not to since it's basically free. The band created it without any record company support and are offering it online for whatever people want to pay for it. (Just a note: If you don't pay anything, Radiohead fans will probably hunt you down and beat you up. Fortunately for you, they're usually pretty scrawny. But they fight dirty. So just be on guard.) It's very mellow and ethereal and (I think) the most intimate and emotional thing Radiohead have produced in a decade. I can't stop listening to it. But mostly I love that they made every record company in the world simultaneously mess their pants by proving that the suits that have gotten fat off recorded music since its infancy are now obsolete. Eat that, suckas.
