Who has five thumbs and is totally ecstatic about the new Radiohead record due out this week? This blogger. Hey, don’t judge on the thumbs part. So you don’t get to pay what you want like with the last Radiohead record, but I love how they’re managing this: $9 for MP3s and $14 for higher-quality WAVs. “The King of Limbs” will also be available in a format the band is calling a “newspaper album”—a CD, two vinyl discs, and various arty ephemera. That bundle costs $50, and will ship on May 9 (if you buy it, you can also download the digital files on Saturday, so you don’t have to wait to hear the tunes). Some additional thoughts on the “newspaper album” bit here.
