Radiohead ‘In Rainbows’ – What price did you choose?

whatpricedidyouchoose.com

For the record, witz.org only bought the download, and paid £4.55 (around $10).

Don’t know what we are talking about? The Playlist has a backgrounder, as well as previews of the entire new album.

Buy your own band on ebay (“Basest included”)

The bidding has started for the opportunity to win your very own rock band via ebay. From the “item” description:

Who hasn’t wanted to be in a rock band? But putting one together can be tough. Don’t let the dream slip away…This is your chance! We’ve done the work for you. All you have to do is bid, win, show-up, and rock. This is a once in a lifetime offer (if it works out though, who knows).

This is heavily rumored to be a performance art/prank from none other than Jake Bronstein himself.

Regardless of the auction description and it’s myriad of spelling errors (“Basest”, “Jameriqui”), not a bad way to fill your rock star dreams/ambitions, eh?

More info at the “band’s” MusicNation page.

(Bonds when he played for the minor league Alaska Goldpanners in 1983. Slightly less muscular than he is today)

If it doesn’t happen tonight, it will happen soon enough.

If you are upset about Bond’s beating Hank Aaron, take a deep breath and wait a few years: A-Rod will eventually beat Bonds
