People should pay for music - otherwise we will all be listening to music written and produced as terribly as Pete Doherty’s back catalogue. Bands need a record industry - in whatever form that takes. I think for bands like Radiohead to put out a free album is great (certainly surprising), but It’s easy for big, wealthy bands to pull off elaborate tricks. It was cleverly marketed sensationalism...all be it “arty” sensationalism, from a band than can quite easily afford to take a big risk. Don’t get me wrong though....Radiohead are wicked, but if there last album had flopped I don’t think they would have been quite so ready to give something back to the kids. A record industry that people pay for is essential in my book; keeps the bands we like off the streets, off the sh^t & writing cracking albums....apart from Pete that is...the pointless donkey.
