T. Yorke´s new album is a kick in the nuts of the self elected gate keepers (and costs 4.72 euro over BitTorrent)

His and N. Godrich´s letter
As an experiment we are using a new version of BitTorrent to distribute a new Thom Yorke record.
The new Torrent files have a pay gate to access a bundle of files..
The files can be anything, but in this case is an 'album'.
It’s an experiment to see if the mechanics of the system are something that the general public can get its head around ...
If it works well it could be an effective way of handing some control of internet commerce back to people who are creating the work.
Enabling those people who make either music, video or any other kind of digital content to sell it themselves.
Bypassing the self elected gate-keepers.
If it works anyone can do this exactly as we have done.
The torrent mechanism does not require any server uploading or hosting costs or ‘cloud’ malarkey.
It's a self-contained embeddable shop front...
The network not only carries the traffic, it also hosts the file. The file is in the network.
Oh yes and it's called
Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.
Thom Yorke & Nigel Godrich

Gianni Ansaldo thinks he knows stuff about Radiohead´s new album

Here the post : link

Please reckon with me that the whole post is about old tracks which G.A. imagines Radiohead will use.
It has been fun to listen to this old stuff though.
