It is that time. As it’s 4:20PM PST here that makes it 12:20AM GMT in the UK so that new Radiohead album should now be slipping out as MP3 files. Mike Smith of Nothing But Green Lights and Flick from Puddlegum are live blogging here about the album’s internet roll out.


I was sent an email that said I was a jerk for paying zero dollars for their music and that I will be able to download the tracks sometime in 2009.
October 9th, 2007 at 3:54 pmnothing yet for me. fingers crossed. but If my email isn’t ALL IN CAPS I’M TOTALLY ASKING FOR MY MONEY BACK.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:07 pmclever, clever, the tracks are reported as 160 kbps, so that uppity bittorrent sites (OINK) will not allow them. (They have a 190 kbps minimum.)

October 9th, 2007 at 9:05 pmwhy are you always yelling at me, radiohead?
ah. 160k is a nice promotional yet basically worthless rate.
October 9th, 2007 at 9:05 pmI have it. Review to follow. If you\’re on the west coast you should be able to read it while sipping your cup o\’ joe….otherwise by the time I wake up I\’m sure the pundits will have already weighed in.
October 9th, 2007 at 10:40 pm@Josh…160kbs for free is better than iTunes at 128kbs for $9.99 no?
October 9th, 2007 at 10:56 pmAn excellent album !
