So I head over to Stereogum last night to show my wife the hilarious Kanye clip and I am basically kicked in the gut with a boot full off good news. This good news is probably old news by now, but I still felt obligated to make a post. Radiohead’s new album, In Rainbows, is ready and can be downloaded 9 days from now. The best part about it is you name the price. You can actually pay $0.00 for the download. I definitely appreciate the irony. Do you think all the kids who steal music will make a donation just to be different? You can also pre-order something called the discbox that will be shipped on or before December 3rd.  You can find out more details about the discbox and the album’s final track listing after the jump.

Anyways here was the way the announcement showed up on Dead Air Space.

Hello everyone.

Well, the new album is finished, and it’s coming out in 10 days;

We’ve called it In Rainbows.

Love from us all.
Jonny

I’m not sure I could have heard better news. I think everyone had basically come to the accept the fact that we would have to wait until next March for the new album. The ability to pull this off is just one of many reasons this band is heads above everyone else. It is pretty amazing that they could keep it quiet until 10 days before the actual release, and even then the only reason we know is because they decided to tell us. Anyways as soon as some mp3’s become available we will get them to you. For now just bask in knowing you are only 9 days away from a new Radiohead album.

You can pre-order here.
