In Rainbows

It has happened. And it came out of nowhere.

At around 2.53 this afternoon, my friend Nick reached for his mobile phone and read the following message.
"LP7," he began, "is the new Radiohead album. It is called 'In Rainbows'. It will be released in 10 days by download only."

The journalism class continued. Inside, however, my heart was doing somersaults. Was it true? Could it be?

3 agonising hours later I arrived home to confirmation from Jonny Greenwood on the band's website www.radiohead.com.

Hello everyone.

Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;

We've called it In Rainbows.

Love from us all.
Jonny

This is going to be the longest 10 days of my life.

The latest news is that you can pre-order a download of the album for a donation of your choice from www.inrainbows.com, which you will recieve on 10th October. There will be no promos or PR as the band are releasing the record themselves.

A deluxe CD box will be released through the website in December.

A regular CD is planned for early 2008.

Way to mess with the system, Radiohead.
