I don't know and I don't care, I just need to hide until it's all over.

LOOK, EVEN THE EVIL COULTER IS A DEADHEAD! ARRRRRGH. Okay maybe not, but it's the type of Deadhead hypocrisy I hate.

Smith is attacking Radiohead for letting consumers dictate the price they want to pay for the bands IN RAINBOWS album. IN a Music Radar interview Smith states,

"The Radiohead experiment of paying what you want - I disagreed violently with that. You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all and that's nonsense. If I put a value on my music and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan, it can't work"

I don't really get Smith's argument. By his standard it's okay for labels or distribution companies to dictate the price, but not the consumer? From my experience the labels tend to overcharge the consumer and underpay the artist so why is that better than Radiohead's method? At least Radiohead gets the profits and not the middle-man. I don't know, but from a consumers standpoint I'd rather pay a fair price for an album and have the artist make all the money.
