***Update #2*** Have Radiohead consciously or unconsciously killed the record industry? Time seems to think so:Radiohead's contract with EMI/Capitol expired after its last record, Hail to the Thief, was released in 2003; shortly before the band started writing new songs, singer Thom Yorke told TIME, "I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say 'F___ you' to this decaying business model." On Sunday night, guitarist Jonny Greenwood took to Radiohead's Dead Air Space blog and nonchalantly announced, "Hello everyone. Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days. We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all."[Read the whole article]
While many industry observers speculated that Radiohead might go off-label for its seventh album, it was presumed the band would at least rely on Apple's iTunes or United Kingdom-based online music store 7digital for distribution. Few suspected the band members had the ambition (or the server capacity) to put an album out on their own. The final decision was apparently made just a few weeks ago, and, when informed of the news on Sunday, several record executives admitted that, despite the rumors, they were stunned. "This feels like yet another death knell," emailed an A&R executive at a major European label. "If the best band in the world doesn't want a part of us, I'm not sure what's left for this business."

i paid 7 pounds. they add a .45 processing fee, so i'm paying 7.45 total.
I paid 5, which is 10 dollars American. Am I being cheap?
I tried to pay 5 usd/10 pounds. never able to complete transaction. after 5 tries. No way to get a legible alternative captcha. Guess I'll wait and get it through amazon mp3.
I don't think mine went through either, but if it did, I paid 6 pounds..
Yeah, I never got my receipt. We'll see...
i paid nothing. if i like it, i'll buy the £40 thing.
YES, YES, YES!!!!! IN RAINBOWS!!!!I paid for the discbox, and whatever that means in US Dollars, I am still wiling to pay. I have purchased every album by them, and I won't stop now. I feel lucky to have been able to download every b-side, live version, extra that they have made, so the least I can do is pay for their full albums. Plus if I were to pay Radiohead per album/song listen, I would be in the millionthsplace behind the decimal, so I am more than happy to pay when I look at it that way.
I paid $10. I don't think I'll buy the box set but I'll buy the CD when it comes out. Radiohead is single handly changing the music industy.
Radiohead are geniuses. I am very glad my money went 100% to the artists, and not towards iTunes or some record industry.
Of course, if all artists would post email addresses so I could paypal them a few dollars after downloading their music for free, I would certainly take the opportunity.
From the Guardian:
"Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the obsessive nature of the fanbase, on the first day on sale it appeared more people had shelled out for the box set than had ordered the variably priced download."
Craziness...
I paid 5 pounds ($10 CDN).
I love Radiohead.
