Radiohead "In Rainbows" update
The Machinist blog has updated news on Radioheads "In Rainbow" CD sales.
"In Rainbows" first made headlines due to it's off-the-wall sales techniues: Radiohead decided to forgo any record label and simply put the CD up for sale on their website ONLY ... and for whatever you want to pay!
A British web site called Gigwise apparently reports that Radiohead had sold 1.2 million copies in the first week of releasing "In Rainbows". The number is not certain though, as neither the band nor any of their reps will release a true number ... Gigwise apparently got it from 'someone close to the band'.
A British newspaper, Record of the Day, has conducted a poll of 3,000 people who have boughten the CD, and calculated the average price of the CD at about $8. With no money having to go to a record label or anything, Radiohead would be swimming in green bills by now.
Now real stats have been released to anyone by now ... and I'm not sure if they ever will be ... but I'm sure everyone, including myself, is really interested right now ....

Bands Going Completely Independent
The Machinist blog recently posted that Nine Inch Nails is becoming a totally free agent.
This basically means that NIN doesn't have a record label, or any contracts as to when, where and how they have to record or sell their music.
A week or two ago, the same blog noted that Radiohead had made the same decision ... opting to only sell their newest CD on their own website. And the kicker? The consumer get's to set the price. Whether its 20 cents or 20 dollars, the buyer simply types in how many copies and for how much.
Question is will this kill the entire industry, or just the bands themselves?
