iLooneyTunes sucks in Radiohead...
"Da, Da, Da, De, De, De, Da-ats, All Folks!"
Radiohead's almightly In Rainbows digital record will be.... uh... released... again... digitally...on the Internet... digitally... again... via iLooneyTunes late-night dollar menu starting next Tuesday 01.08.08... digitally... Did I say that already?
The full digital album (no Mime hands will be needed to DIY assemble the bloody thing thank god!) will be downloadable or you can go a la carte and nab a single McDownload for .99 cents! The innovation is its being released officially legally twice... digitally. On the Internet... digitally.
I want to clarify the situation to my little Radiohead rabid-head monkeys. If you want to pay $1.83 and 1/3 cents a track, you can't. That's the innovation. Isn't it cool. Wow, those guys at Radiohead corporate HQ - what they do with the math and simplfying all the rounding we would be forced to do trying to come up with a different price versus what we paid the first time or again for the... um... digital version.
But, no matter, even if you say, "Ok Computer... make iLooneyTunes sell me a track for... 1.0101010101010101010101" iLooneyTunes will give you a sad Elmer Fudd face and say: "That was an awfuwwy good try wabbit!! You woscoe!!"
Let me shed more light on this - I know it's hard to understand. Here are a few more examples of what won't work:
Say you want to pay .47 cents a track. You can't. Why? Because.
And, right, you little SuicideGirl jokesters, if you want to spend .69 cents a track or for the whole record, iLooneyTunes won't allow it. Even if the band is into it, iLooneyTunes won't allow it.
Maybe you can try getting two tracks at one time instead?
Mmmh that would be fun to try... and that is as innovative and adventurous as it gets apparently in 2008 for the Thom Yorke Radiohead corporate record digital sales machine...
They had choices. And, instead they passed and did nothing different with their iLooneyTunes deal except for most likely getting a better percentage of revenues they will take for each album and track download sale!
But, it's fitting for them. Cause they maintain what they have been doing all along with the marketing and promotion of In Rainbows - sell a record the age old corporate way and attempt to appear as revolutionizing the industry by keeping their primary audience hooked and snowjobbed to virally feed the kool-aid to a new legion of mass-followers.
Sorry, for the graveness, but you each have the capacity to do something about something that actually does in fact save lives - "music".
You could start by questioning your leader's choices or be clear in knowing what they are really doing.
