Hi Brooklyn Vegan,
I'm an avid reader of your blog! Alas, I've been trying to e-mail you through the link on the page, but it's not functioning on my computer. I'd like to ask you a question through private e-mail, so if you could post your address through here or mail it to me I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Justine

i find it amusing how nobody wants to talk about the fact that radiohead is going to sign a deal with WARNER or ATO. you couldn't keep your traps shut when you thought they were going to be heroes of the "new music business." just sayin.

i always knew they would sign with a label. though i was hoping it would be a smaller label than Warner or a subsiadary of EMI.

For the sake of actually getting the album, they're going to have to sign a distribution deal with someone, they're a big band, with a big demand. I doubt they will be able to handle all of it on their own ( while not burning out at least...)
Remember the site being impossible to get at the first day? I'm kind of scared to see what's going to happen on the 10th..
Either way, I love them, I applaud them and can't wait for the new album..
Oh..

First song sounds awesome.

Radiohead and Dave Matthews. How cheeseball to be affiliated with ATO. Maybe Radiohead and Dave Matthews can do a duet together.
Is this the end of the world?
