I was in the burbs of NJ this weekend and went to get some coffee from Starbucks (where else can you get coffee in the burbs?). Inside the store, I was blown away to see the new Radiohead album. After the "free pay as you go" album release, the $80.00 box set, and the announcement of expensive concert tickets, let's just say this is the last place I thought I would see them. Oh. I almost forgot the live performance on Current TV. I know Starbucks is the new distribution model for the record industry with its partnership with Apple, but this does not seem very "radiohead". Here's an old article from March 2007 where they denied signing with the Capitalist juggernaut Starbucks. How do you feel about it?

Oh, I was pissed when I saw this. Radiohead dropped a notch for me when I saw this... I lost any ounce of respect I had left for Starbucks when they started selling me movies and music in a coffee shop. Yes, coffee shops and music go hand in hand, but not in this way. Not in this way at all. It's a pollution. And a disgrace to see Radiohead in Starbucks. Radiohead, meet a whore of a coffee shop... you two will be bedmates.
