Radiohead is so clever. Instead of trying to fight illegal downloading, the English rockers have come up with a brilliant scheme to see if fans will pay for music. The band is letting people name their own price for its new CD, "In Rainbows," due on Oct. 10.
Not only is this Radiohead's first album in four years, it's their first sans longtime label EMI records. The catch is that it will only be released through a digital download. You can't get it on iTunes. A fancy box set addition of the CD will hit stores in December for a hefty price, so the online download seems like the way to go. Radiohead has certainly created a huge buzz while catching the attention of the ailing music industry.
