Just paid $10 or the iTunes equivalent of full-price for In Rainbows, out in a matter of hours. My rationale:
a) Pay-what-you-will seems like a good idea and we ought to support it. If Radiohead gets paid, other bands should follow.
b) I expect I'll listen a lot. Why stint?
c) When you don't know about pricing, imitate an established model.
d) I have this feeling Thom's wandering eye will somehow fall on my order - one of millions, yes, but I have this hunch. He'll smile or twitch or do whatever it is Thom Yorke does to express pleasure, and he'll be moved to phone. (He has my info now - am I the only one this pleases?) "You're worth it, Tommy," I'll say coolly, the new album playing softly in the background. "Thanks for the music."

No! The last thing you want to do is make him happy! What do you want to do, turn Radiohead into B-52?
