A quick stop in to say,
"Helloooo!" and, also, to say
"Go pay these brilliant lads whatever you feel like for their stunning set of new little ditties."

Paste Magazine is saying:
We've said it before: Radiohead's "pay what you want" digital release of In Rainbows is one of the more interesting and potentially important album launches of our time. Say what you will about past Radiohead coverage - the constant incremental updates, hyperbole, and rumor-mongering - this one actually matters. So as the entire web-music infrastructure marshals its resources to report, discuss, and analyze the phenomenon, we'll be trying to keep readers up to date with it all.

The L.A. Times is saying:
For now, at least, Radiohead is leaving those millions on the table to go the tip-jar route.

The new blog, music mamas is asking you to throw in your two cents.
(Be sure to check out this inspiring and weirdly connected group of lovely ladies regularly to see what other musical thoughts, opinions, recommendations they have brewing. I look forward to keeping up with them and what they have to say on all things music-related).

There is much mucho much talk out there about the band's choice to let you 'pick what you pay' but I just want to say that I would have purchased this album whatever the price. I am thrilled to have it no matter the kerfuffle out there because it is FANTASTIC. It is looping over and over and flowing from my speakers today and, I suspect, for many days/weeks/months to come.

Keep well, my friends, as I am now back to the proverbial stone of grind...
