New Radiohead Album

Yeah, but isn't it still a pretty strong statement on how even the top artists got f*cked over royalties? He also mentions that CDs and touring aren't even very big income earners...

It is impressive that they weren't making any money off of previous digital distribution, but that doesn't really have anything to do with In Rainbows' success. Also, I'm pretty sure they say that touring is is big moneymaker because of the relatively small overhead, but they don't like to tour for environmental reasons.

I love the album it's probably their second best album in my book right behind OK Computer. Maybe behind Kid-A as well but i'll have to give that one another listen before I say which of those two is better.

Yorke: In terms of digital income, we've made more money out of this record than out of all the other Radiohead albums put together, forever and never to part -- together forever, we two. And don't you know I would move heaven and earth to be together forever with you.

Holy crap.

David Byrne recently discussed the mechanics of making money with Wired Magazine. Really interesting.
