From this, I normally champion two bands in particular; Placebo, who are officially the band to help an...

Will we ever know how much Radiohead made from their digital download release of In Rainbows? Maybe not, but most people are banking on the fact that it wasn't much, even fellow musicians. "Fair play to Radiohead for doing something different," Manic Street Preachers' bassist Nicky Wire told the UK's Daily Star. "It's certainly great for publicity but I think it kind of demeans music.
