Umm, has this website been down for a few days or something?

Isn’t this the same “trick” they’ve been using in the UK for decades? I.e., releasing multiple versions of a single in order to get it to chart better?

give me a break. people crying about the quality, when mostpeople probably couldnt tell the difference between 128 and 320 anyway. THEY OFFERED TO LET YOU DOWNLOAD THE GODDAMN ALBUM FOR FREE AND THEY DIDNT FORCE YOU TO BUY THE STEMS. Why do radiohead fans complain so much? If you dont like something, dont get involved with it. Whatever happened to just appreciating an artist for their music and not caring about all the bs that they deal with on a regular basis?

ah hey, don’t get all defensive RB. we just think you’ve missed our point. we don’t care about where ‘nude’ did or didn’t chart (i doubt radiohead do either). and apple could delete all record of radiohead songs being sold on itunes and we still wouldn’t give a damn.
radiohead didn’t (not even kind of) scam people into buying the single five times over. the people who bought one or more of the stems knew what they were buying. as for the clever publicity tricks, who is being tricked?

Oh don’t get all mad Radiohead kids. I use the word “controversy” loosely — I look at it as a clever publicity trick on the label’s part. Me trying to get a blog following? There’s nothing to follow, it’s mostly bullshit and I post like once, twice a month. I wrote about this because I thought it was interesting and didn’t see anyone else talking about it. Then Wired got it and misread a sentence, briefly implied a coverup involving Apple where there was none, and corrected the story at my request. Don’t worry, I will quickly vanish back into the E-Ether.

in a nutshell, we just think it’s kind of a tricky way to get a blog following, and not necessarily even a dishonest one.

Honestly I think the iTunes thing is a total scam, but you can’t blame the band — it’s obviously an XL Records thing.
