OMFG. Radiohead's new album, In Rainbows, out on October 10th.

Cover

So I was expecting to have to wait another few months for the new radiohead album to drop. Imagine my surprise when I went to their web site and found it available for preorder RIGHT F*CKING NOW. How about that.

Currently the album is only being released as a download through their web site. The deal is you can pay now, and reserve some bandwidth for october 10th, when the downloading begins. I'm a bit concerned with what sorts of elaborate Digital Rights Management bullshit they'll undoubtedly choose to include with it, but we'll all cross that bridge when we come to it.

A physical CD is also available for preorder and is being produced for release in early December.

Either way, go ahead and preorder the album here. I did. Sure hope it doesn't suck.
