It turns out that Radiohead is not only very close to the ideas of free music, but also the motives of the boom user-generated content. First, today on the official website appeared entry:
Hello to all. The doors to the loading area In Rainbows are closing December 10, 2007. Many thanks to all who looked and downloaded the music.It was the most positive thing we have ever done and we hope that you shared your feelings with others. Discboxes will still be available in the store until they run out. We do not have plans to continue selling through our online store. Those who wish to purchase In Rainbows in the usual way will find the album on CD / vinyl or purchase it in other online stores. The recording will be released by TBD Records in North America and XL Recordings in other countries. Thanks for all.
Here the point is made: the musicians are very pleased with the results of the experiment and do not mind doing so in the future. Secondly, only on YouTube - the first two clips to the songs of the new album - the quintessence of UGC minimalism: Jigsaw Falling Into Place stands out using high-tech devices, perhaps a new word in camera work :) - cameras attached to bicycle helmets that musicians wear .
Joining The Radiohead, I hasten to share my feelings with others: the second CD In Rainbows, covers of the wonderful Eliza Lumley, unexpected covers of the Japanese VIA (IDIOTEQUE was particularly affected) are available on the nodatta blog. Happy listening, thanks to Colin Greenwood, Johnny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Phil Selvey and Tom York, as well as the performers and bands playing their songs. In case you like these recordings, you can always purchase albums, thereby thanking the musicians not only in words.
All these RIAA , MPAA and other defenders every day prove their worthless uselessness. Time confirms: what is done for / with pleasure is not necessary to protect from anyone. On the contrary, they protect what has been done to increase capital. Here is the section: genuine creativity has no selfish ends. The wholesale capitalization of the products of art turned everything upside down; With the help of high technology, time again puts ideals in their places. But something must change on this planet, so that the positions that have already become some obvious will be firmly established in all heads.
