Radiohead Announces New Album -- Digital Download Available Feb 19

You don't get to name your own price this time, but Radiohead is once again   taking the path less chosen in releasing their new LP The King of Limbs.  It sounds confusing -- you can pre-order "the world's first Newspaper Album", a package which will ship to you on May 9, 2011, but for having ordered it you will have access to the digital download on Saturday, February 19.  This fancy collectors package, which includes 2 vinyl discs, a cd, and literally hundreds of "tiny pieces of artwork", is available for $48.00 (that's the mp3 price -- $53.00 for a wav file instead of mp3).

Or, if you're like me and you would rather have the music now without having to commit to a $48.00 purchase, you can simply pre-order the digital download, which you will be able to receive on Saturday, February 19, for $9.00 (that's the mp3 price -- $14.00 for the wav file).

Now that you're totally confused, go to their web site and make your choice.  But I know you will buy it in one form or another -- it's a new Radiohead album, for goodness sakes!

BTW -- what is a "Newspaper Album"?  I have no idea, but this is a Jigsaw Falling Into Place:
