No Duh: Most Paid Nothing For Radiohead Album
How did the entire editorial staff of every NPR station in the country not see this coming? When Radiohead revolutionized the entire universe of rock music by releasing its new album In Rainbows on the internet in October, allowing people simply to "pay what they want" for the thing, for weeks fucking NPR kept playing clips of self-described "musicians" saying they were going the pay $100 for it because Radiohead is that important, man! According to the BBC, it looks like about 2/3 of those who "purchased" the album online opted to pay absolutely nothing. All you guys who got the album for free: I'll do you one better, I'll pay you twenty bucks if you promise never to play the album for me.
