jay-z joining u2 for scarlet was one of the best things they've done in the last six months.
Wonder what Bono would think about the new Radiohead album. Would he judge the music on its own terms or continue to mourn the death of pop radio?
Wonder why you even compare U2 and Radiohead, they aren't in the same league either musically or commercially, how many Cds would Radiohead sell accross the world? I don't think they are risking much, but definitely they aren't risking what U2 would if they follow that path.
Beer is good.
U2 has enough money to go in that way whenever they want. Especially now... and oh, wait, remeber when they didn't have even 1/10 of the money they have now and released an album called Achtung Baby?
Yes, I agree with you, but what does it have to do to with releasing an album only on line? What advantages would they get from doing that?
Well, Radiohead are a band without a record label (as were Oasis and Nine Inch Nails before they both split), they have complete control over everything. I really can't see what benefits a band as big as U2 can get out of being tied to a record label in this day and age. They have the influence and financial power to be able to do everything themselves, but instead for some reason they maintain tied to the 'old school' way of doing business in the music industry.

Maybe because Radiohead are by far the best band of the last 20 years.
that's why radiohead fans are the worst.
I *really* want to go to U2.com some random day and just see "click here to download the new single". How hard is that? Honestly.
Sometimes U2 fans - a certain type - are like Rolling Stones fans in the late 80s and early 90s: unable to realize that they were great, but are now just shite, to paraphrase Sick Boy.
is a hollow island anything like an echo chamber?
