From just about every measure, Radiohead’s "In Rainbows" experiment was a success.

Another logical conclusion: downloading is not so much killing the record industry in the manner that they’ve been screaming about for the past decade. - My Year Of Flops, Totally Bitchin’ Case File #121: Earth Girls Are Easy

"I’ve been doing it for five years now. Five years on TV is a really, really long time." Five years? Seems like she’s been boring America for much much longer than that. - Woman changes name to a URL to protest dissections
