dammit dammit dammit, money is so not tight for me right now, but it surely will be by the time December rolls around, and I'll be getting a discbox and asking myself why I decided to buy some records instead of eating that week.

And fuck peer pressure... viewing the poll results before making my own decision, so of course I gotta be like the cool kids and buy the fucking box. fucking tool.

Well, the American dollar is going to continue going to shit so order the Discbox now for ~$80 and by the time you get it, it'll be at least $120.

I'm curious to know how limited their "limited" is. It's a stretch because of the American dollar but really not overpriced - and it'll obviously be more worth it if they stop taking orders relatively soon.

I would only if I could have one wish and then be shot to death in a car, I would just like to see their faces appearing out of thin air in front of me wanting their hands in.

i didn't order anything yet. i don't care about downloads and i don't really need a limited edition box with vinyl. i'm counting on a regular cd release later.

if the box was the only way to get a hard copy of this new album, i'd buy it immediately. i just find it hard to believe that that would be the case.

edit: on the other hand, i'm a real sucker for these kind of "limited" releases, so i might still change my mind. (god!)

from wall street journal:

Quote:
Consider the economics of the average CD. It retails for about $16 and costs about $6.40 to manufacture, distribute and sell in a store, research outfit Almighty Institute of Music Retail says. These costs are essentially zero when music is sold online. That's why iTunes can charge roughly $10 for a downloaded album.

Radiohead's fitter, happier approach slices out even more cost. The band pulled the ripcord on EMI, so it doesn't have to share profits or help pay the label's overhead. As a well-known band it's also able to take the knives out on marketing and promotion costs, cutting these by as much as two-thirds. Subtract these expenses and Radiohead may be able to distribute an album for as little as $3.40 a copy.

Now, fans may be delighted to pay $10 because they think the album is so good and Radiohead deserves the extra cash. But Radiohead prides itself on its anticorporate and anti-materialistic ethos. To avoid letting down fans, it might be more productive to adopt a no-surprises policy and fix a simple, fair charge for its record.
