Has the music industry changed in 24 hours, or will this be something that send large record companies running for cover for the next several weeks and months as the ripple effect continues to wash over the web and our eardrums?
Regardless of where you stand on the “Industry” (this can have ramifications on the smaller “more fun” labels as well) we want to know your thoughts. So sound off!
Did you get “In Rainbows”?
What did you pay?
What do you think?
Is this shaping digital music culture?
Let us know in the comments what you think.

yes I did get the record.
I paid 5Lbs (around $10 US).
I think it’s the best radiohead record in 10 years - brilliant.
I think this experiment will not only shape the next phase of digital culture but will begin to RAPIDLY CHANGE the way musicians navigate the industry. This is a huge step forward both artistically and socially. Labels should realize their system of crippling the flow of quality expression for marketable dribble is no longer acceptable.
