My former colleague Bruce MacLachlan is extremely excited about the new Radiohead album, I learned from my Facebook news feed this morning -he’s a big fan…
Umair Haque is also excited about it, for very different reasons though. His interest is in the approach the band is taking to selling their new album – using “open pricing”: effectively asking people what they would like to pay for it…
He’s thinking about the economics: “If Radiohead gets the key components of the model right, they can bring a righteous smackdown to labels.”
I’m looking forward to hearing the album and also to reports from the band about how the experiment goes…
