Oooh! The Originality! I bet this brilliant move will change the music industry!

Speaking of which, I just saw Thom Yorke- he was wearing a hat that can only be described as 'genius'!

Was that 'genius' or 'generous'? What with the brilliant In Rainbows, Magne F's downloadable EP this week and now The Charlatans releasing a free album I'd say this is a great time to be a music fan.

Just to let you know that the Charlatans decided to release their album for free before Radiohead did but since there not as well known around the world as Radiohead is, it was not talked about too much.

"Oooh! The Originality! I bet this brilliant move will change the music industry!"

actually, the charlatans manager alan mcgee had the idea before radiohead, and in a conversation with radiohead management shocked them that the album and single would actually be free, as opposed to choosing your own price.

but considering the fact that radiohead actually invented music, i guess it is unimportant.
