Radiohead Released In Rainbows On October 10, 2007
Radiohead released their 7th album, In Rainbows, in download only format on October 10th of 2007. The album can be purchased in download form for any amount that you wish to spend on it. On the website it is stated that it's literally "up to you." It is also possible to purchase a disc box version which comes with a CD of the album (with 6 additional songs) and a double LP. The disc box version also comes with access to the download version of the album. The disc box version is made to order and ships later.
With this long awaited album, Radiohead became the first major band to bypass the labels and try something truly different with their album's release. Radiohead released In Rainbows as an unsigned band.

This is the first music trivia post I have made about something happening today. I think this album release is instantly an event of musical historical significance not only because it's Radiohead's 7th studio album which would probably be enough on it's own but because of the way that it's being released which very well could be revolutionary.
And even if it does not cause other bands & artists to follow in their footsteps and even if Radiohead decides to sign to a label after this experience, it's one hell of an experiment anyway.

This is so unbelievable.
I see it everywhere. I'm not such a fan but that's the 3rd time I hear about it today:
First - on the news - but full like me forgot it, and then I played this music trivia quiz ("triviaonnet") and they already wrote a question about "inrainbows", and I didn't know it!!!
Now, when I read this article I understand the significance of this occasion ..Grrrr
