Was just browsing Slashdot and stumbled across the news that albeit Radiohead offering their newest album for download (something that I a) did not know and b) wasn’t able to find proof for) it was still traded more often then officially downloaded. Well how about that? Here is a band that seems to offer us, the listeners, a piece of their effort for free and instead of picking up on that, we desperately search for a suitable bittorrent.

Oddly enough, I still knew my username and password so that I set up a webhop from the dusty to the shiny, linking the past to the present so to say.
