These guys are always ‘In Something.’ According to Billboard via MacDailyNews, Radiohead are currently chatting with the iTunes peeps about something or other. Here are some quotes from some guy:

“Radiohead’s camp is in talks with [Apple’s] iTunes Music Store for the release of ‘In Rainbows…remains a notable omission from the world’s leading download store because of the band’s assertion that its albums remain complete…on the other hand, iTunes’ successful model allows customers to unbundle albums, or pick and chose individual tracks…talks are ongoing with iTunes…a deal with Apple Computer’s download store would represent a massive breakthrough on a number of levels, and one which apparently would require a shift in position from one of the parties. Radiohead became one of the music industry’s hottest topics this year when they recorded the [In Rainbows] album independently and issued it digitally through its official Web site from Oct. 10, allowing downloaders to name a price to own a virtual copy…that ‘honesty box’ experiment will come to an end on Monday, the band has announced, paving the way for the traditional release set-up of the album within the next few weeks…the download area that is ‘In Rainbows’ will be shutting its doors on the 10th December 2007,’ reads a note posted Wednesday on the band’s official Web site.”

So there you have it. I’m going to hesitate to comment on exactly what this means for the music industry until I fully digest In Rainbows Disc 2 and also until I receive my freaking discbox, which I’m happy to report is on its way.
