Hats off to the crew that is Radiohead. Congratulations on great music, congratulations on longevity, congratulations on not getting wrapped up in fame...and most of all congratulations on independently making a reported $9.6 MILLION in 3 weeks on your latest album 'In Rainbows'.
This is really inspiring stuff to us here at INDISTR. Being successful as an independent is entirely possible, and groups like Radiohead are really paving the way to help new artist (and old) think differently about their craft. It really has nothing to do with getting rich. Instead, it has everything to do with making a living doing what you love. And us, acting as fans, helping in the process by choosing to support artists directly.

agreed Ben! although Radiohead does have the advantage being pushed by mass media all these years. If I were a household name I would do the same thing as they did. Why give all the money to major labels? I love what Radiohead has done and what many others like NIN are doing and that's taking control of their careers and getting what they deserve. It is possible at any level and thanks to you guys its a whole lot easier.
all the best,
