Radiohead Changes Tack, Joins iTunes

Joe Jay Bee writes "The British rock band Radiohead, who previously stated that they wouldn't want to have their music on Apple's iTunes Music Store (and, indeed, were unhappy when their Kid A album was released via the store) have performed something of an about-face; virtually their entire catalog, including singles and their B-Sides, has appeared on the store. The band previously said they only wanted their work sold as complete albums, which Apple refused to go along with; however their tack has apparently changed, and all their songs are available to mix and match, including their most recent work, In Rainbows. The albums are all available in DRM-free AAC format."

reason why they only want to sell albums

Probably due to the fact most radiohead albums only have 1 good song on.

You're not being fair. Only a couple of their albums have a good song.

What!? Outrageous!
I will never buy a single Apple product in my life. Ever. Just out of principle.

ps, Apple, please contact me via email.

No, but the fashion police are going to have a field day.

Have some sympathy.

Well, what with the price of oil these days, even rockstars are feeling the pinch.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to fill up the tank on a Ferrari?

At this point, the reader builds a mental image of Radiohead performing a country/hip-hop fusion. The Elder Gods claim another victim.
