Loading ...Radiohead: new album In Rainbows, out in (no joke) ten days, according to this Pitchfork, er, report. Dig deeper into official site (linked on the title above) and we see that they’re offering the album as a download on Oct. 10, with physical release on Dec. 3. Whatever you think of Radiohead, this is an ingenious maneuver, and as of-course logical as Kanye vs. 50. If they’d managed to get the thing in stores within a week and a half of first announcement it would be the coup of the year, biz-wise, but in any case it still makes me wonder what it might mean in terms of lead time/distribution for major albums in the future. In any case, it’s very exciting. The track list is after the jump.

The New Way To Buy Concert Tickets: Chain Yourself To Your Computer And Let Legal Internet Scalpers Dick You Around
Fri Sep 28 2007 by jharv
StubHub is a fan-run ticket clearinghouse where many of those phantom Hannah Montana tickets have since shown up after selling out at the concert venues themselves, and with StubHub’s vendors making a killing as prices reach upwards of $400 per, many cultural commentator types (and brokers with dollar signs in their eyes) have opined over the last few weeks that this mad Internet scramble for seats at any price lower than blood or organ tissue is here to stay, not just for Montana but for any large-scale concert. But if you can’t hang with the new way, don’t worry because “despite quick sell-outs, good news remains, as plenty of seats are being offered on StubHub’s ticket marketplace by those who were able to buy, some for as low as $65,” provided you follow StubHub’s simple suggestions:
Ne-Yo Boogies In The Lost City Of Atlantis

Ne-Yo kinda dropped the ball with his new video for “Can We Chill,” which we can not embed for you because Universal is the devil. He should be strutting across a vintage nightclub set in a white suit or something that fits the song’s opulent (if kinda ersatz) ’70s soul vibe a little better. More »
