so I "bought" the new radiohead album yesterday online. I put the quotation marks around the word bought because I didn't actually pay for it. As most of you know, Radiohead have instituted a pay what you want system for their new album online, which is basically exactly what it sounds like. You type in the amount you want to pay and that's what

I paid five pounds for it, partly because I want to support the idea of buying music from musicians directly (like I did with VAST and TMBG).

Also, five pounds is about what I think the music's worth. Listening to the album bears that out.

Also, I'm not some liberal hippie that gets off on stealing other people's property. ;)

[drschwarz]

is it stealing if they set it up so you can have it for free?

[wbkelley]

That sounds about like what I'd expect from a dirty antipodean hippie.

I suppose you don't drop coin in the offering plate at church, because "Jesus gives his love away for free?"

Grow up, buddy. Child molestation doesn't put food on the baby Jesus' table. Or Thom Yorke's, for that matter.

whoa whoa whoa! what the heck are you talking about child molestation? how did this become some attack against the church. i'm just talking about free music and cute girls here. dang.

Also, she's as cute as a button, but there's probably some German dude somewhere who's sick to death of her shit.

Looking forward to having you back home in Jesusland.

are you going to be in Ohio for Thanksgiving? I'll be there for that week.

[wbkelley]

Nah. I'll be living it up down in Austin. I just need to find a way to combine traditional American gluttony with Polish cuisine...
