THIS Is How You Start A Week Off

.


What's in my email inbox this morning? A message from Radiohead.com that says:

"Dear waste member,

This is just a quick note to let you know first that Radiohead have made an album.
It is called In Rainbows, and it is now available to pre-order exclusively from Radiohead.com"

Um.... JNCPIUBFWEV7RBNV78 RBIUHF`2!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Er.... cannot form sentences...

Will be back soon... when coherent.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

ETA Mmmkay, I'm calmed down a bit. Figuring out the conversion rate of pounds to dollars will do that to a person. So 40 gets doubled? Really. SIGH. It's not like I'm gonna skimp though. This IS Radiohead, after all, and I would sell my body for them. Seriously. Thom, call me.

The album is called In Rainbows, if you hadn't gathered that from above, and here's the tracklisting:

15 STEP
BODYSNATCHERS
NUDE
WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
ALL I NEED
FAUST ARP
RECKONER
HOUSE OF CARDS
JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE
VIDEOTAPE

A lot of those songs have been making the rounds in live versions and were expected to be on the disc. It's available for download from their website on October 10th - you can pre-order it now, and - I'm not even kidding here - YOU CAN NAME YOUR PRICE for just the download. Pay whatever the eff you want! I went through the steps offering two pounds and they were gonna let me do it! I didn't try nothing because I am not an asshole.

There's also a large box-set - pictured at top - which is what I, being a Radiohead geek, must insist upon getting, that has the following:

THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS, ON CD
AND ON 2 X 12 INCH HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL RECORDS.
A SECOND, ENHANCED CD CONTAINS MORE NEW SONGS, ALONG WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND ARTWORK.
THE DISCBOX ALSO INCLUDES ARTWORK AND LYRIC BOOKLETS.
ALL ARE ENCASED IN A HARDBACK BOOK AND SLIPCASE.

So yeah. Way more than I need - I don't have a record player! - but I want it, I want it, I WANT IT. I pay them money I don't have for it. Sigh.

Oh I'm starting to spazz out again thinking about it. I need to rest my brain. I haven't even had my caffeine yet, this is too much for my brain.
