It's been a year and five days since Radiohead released In Rainbows as a name-your-own-price download. In that year the band and its publishing company Warner Chappell, which oversaw the novel release, have kept mum about its success. But today we are getting a little closer to finding out how much cha-ching Radiohead banked from the whole gimmick as details were revealed on the topic during th...

While the world may never know how much Radiohead banked off their "name-your-price" sales model for In Rainbows, the band's seventh studio album, frontman Thom Yorke is saying the band won't do it again, perhaps indicating it wasn't enough. "I think it was a one-off response to a particular situation," "Yorke told The Hollywood Reporter":http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news...

When I was five and would pull the brat card, my mom would always say things like "You don't know how lucky you have it." This statement usually was followed by lectures on starving children in Africa, orphans who need clothes and other scenario's that would scare the bejesus out of me and make me put the Cabbage Patch doll quietly back on the Toys R Us shelf ...and make me determined to be the...

Yorke sat in as guest editor for Observer Magazine this week, the supplementary magazine from the British Sunday paper of the same name, sister publication to The Guardian. Yorke, a longtime advocate on climate issues, graces the cov.

It's been almost 24 hours now, so, it's probably safe to assume everyone has already heard it... but in case you haven't, don't worry - there are no surprises to spoil. If they didn't have the whole "pay what you want" gimmick, they could have easily sold the idea as "A tribute to Radiohead, by Radiohead"... with songs titles like "National Anthem 2007 Mix", instead of "Bodysnatchers".To me it ...

being completely unhappy with most progressions (if one could call it that) in music as of late, i've simply regressed and found comfort in the old-churning-out-the-new. not simply for a familiar sound, but because i feel a piece of my personal taste has been preserved there, and to a near exquisite degree.

I'm on a revitalized Radiohead high since seeing the band at the Hollywood Bowl a few weeks ago. I'm currently listening (and re-listening) to "All I Need" - which wasn't my favorite when I first heard in Rainbows. For some reason though, it's completely taken a hold of me now. Maybe it has something to do with the soaring "It's alllllright" climax. And the fact that at that point in the track ...
