Radiohead Get 40%

According to a ComScore press release, that's the approximate percentage of people who paid for their download of the band's new album In Rainbows. In other words, more than half said no to ponying up for the latest release by this widely adored act but yes to getting it for free. Hmm...let's hope the remaining 60% are not fans and were just curious, otherwise...

We see dark, ominous clouds on the horizon: death to the mostly evil empire that are major labels but replace it with what? Anarchy?

Better get more and more used to hearing your fave songs reduced to cheap jingles and featured in lame-ass commercials, people. Songwriters/artists have to pay rent, too. And if you won't pay for their music, chances are Madison Ave will. Yea, free music!

Repent, the end is near.
