£40.00 (United Kingdom)
Discbox. I've never come across a Radiohead album that i didn't like so i
don't think i'm taking much of a risk paying full whack. I think other artists
who think they've got a massive fanbase (50 cent for one) still wouldn't have
the balls to do something like this, besides it's not really about the money
with Radiohead and that's what i respect about them. I've bought many albums
this year which i regret, paying about a tenner for 3 good singles and umpteen
shoddy/rushed/lazy 'filler' tracks is a joke.
£2.50 (United States)
I payed 2.50, but I'm still undecided about getting the
discbox. If I don't, I'll pay them more. If the album's especially awesome, I'll
pay them even more. I love the concept of 'tipping' a band, being able to show
support in a more intimate way, even for a band as big as Radiohead.
£2.00 (United Kingdom)
the price they would receive through standard distribution of their record
after the appropriate deductions, plus a litte bit more (i think)
£0.00 (United Kingdom)
I'm not even sure I like Radiohead, I found OK Computer really hard going.
So I'm taking a (free) punt and seeing what it's like, either I'll become a new
fan or continue on my way.
£7.00 (United States)
pay up. this means more than just a price of a cd.
£3.00 (United Kingdom)
Seems like a fair price with low overhead of distribution. They're happy,
I'm happy, we're all happy.
£0.01 (United Kingdom)
I'm going to get the box set later in the year, so I don't feel guilty at
all paying 1p for it.
Finally a few critics have noticed the most important part to Radiohead.
"The synthesis is much more complete here, though, since the band road-tested these tunes on a short tour last year and drummer Phil Selway – who freakin' owns the album – operates on an utterly inhuman level throughout, bringing captivatingly erratic, "organic" accompaniment to 10 songs that give Thom Yorke's singular voice and warm instrumentation (acoustic guitars, strings, piano) played by human beings precedence over the machines."
…
"'Reckoner.' Tell me the last time you heard percussion recorded this well. All hail Phil Selway!"

The legendary ateaser femme_bastet drew all 5 band members, but obviously Phil's came out as most beautiful.
Although Daniel Craig did ok as James Bond, Phil could replace him in the next Bond movie. And we can see why.
As best dressed member of Radiohead, Phil tries to influence the other band members. It's going in the right direction, but it's clearly not perfect yet.
There's a debate going on about this picture. Some people think it's Phil himself, but we from The Phillovers are convinced this is a wax statue that will be revealed at Madame Tuso in a couple of days.
When Phil goes surfing, he doesn't use a surfboard. He uses a rock. Phil likes vintage.
People are whispering that Phil is urinating in Ed's shoe. Phil is a very tidy man and he would never do such a thing.
He clearly lost some weight. He's watching/learning how to play the piano it seems.
After Thom stole his drums, Phil had to settle for congoes. He's still the best looking member by far though.
Phil is browsing through Atease, checking the Phil appreciation thread.
This is Ed, almost blocking the view on Phil.

Quatre mains: Phil and Thom
Deerhoof are releasing their new album, 'Friend Opportunity' next week. Drummer Greg Saunier talked to JunkMedia about their tour with Radiohead last year. You have been playing quite a few high profile shows lately. What was it like for the band to open up for Radiohead?
Greg Saunier: "Everybody knows what an uncommon live group they are, and even with years of buildup and knowing there was no way they could live up to the legend, they were so much better than even my highest expectation that my whole outlook on the world had to be immediately revised. But what people might not know is that they are so great in person. All five of them, and everyone in their enormous crew, were all so sweet to us. They really supported our music. If one of John's pedals got busted, someone from their crew would immediately offer to help. Someone from the band watched us from the side of the stage almost every night. Phil brought us cupcakes. Jonny brought us champagne and offered to play on our album, until he heard some rough mixes and said it already sounded done. Jonny did our light show in Amsterdam. He even used the strobe light which wasn't allowed. Ed asked us how we got our guitar tone, [because] he wanted to steal it. When Radiohead had a night off in Dublin, and Deerhoof had our own show in a small club, how did Thom spend his free time? He came to our show and danced like crazy. Colin kept taking our picture and posting pictures of us on Radiohead's website, and he'd imitate Satomi's dance during their show. Jim Warren, who does their sound mix, said he'd be happy to do ours as well and went and studied one of our albums to research what we wanted our mix to sound like. I do not expect this sort of treatment from any band, let alone a band on the level of Radiohead. They are disproving every truism about how famous people are supposed to act, and that taught us a beautiful lesson."
