It's Fun to Make People Think About What Music is Worth

Unlike the fans who havent removed their headphones since 2 AM, Radiohead guitarist Rosetta Stone language Jonny Greenwood is able to focus something other than In Rainbows right now: We talked to him this morning for an upcoming story about his experimental orchestral work, Popcorn Superhet Receiver, which will be making its U.S. debut in New York this January. But Greenwood was also kind enough to share some thoughts about his bands industry-shaking new album. Heres a sample:Why did you choose to release the album this way? Partly just to get it out quickly, so everyone would hear it at the same time, and partly because it was an experiment that felt worth trying, really.Why the variable pricing? Its fun to make people stop for a few seconds and think about what music is worth, and thats just an interesting question to ask people.How would you respond to complaints about the sound quality that 160 isnt a high enough Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 bitrate? I dont know, we talked about it and we just wanted to make it a bit better than iTunes, which it is, so thats kind of good enough, really. Its never going to be CD quality, because thats what CD does.What goals did you have for the album itself? I suppose we wanted to get back slightly to Kid A in that we were spending longer experimenting and trying stuff out -- it wasnt so much of a performance-based thing, like Hail to the Thief. Other than that, its the usual thing of turning up with these songs and the pressure is, "Dont fuck it up, dont record them badly, dont do bad arrangements of them, and do them justice." So thats what weve done.What are your touring plans? Thats exactly what we finally started talking about. Now that the albums out, we can get together exactly how and where were going to tour.For full coverage Cheap Rosetta Stone French of In Rainbows, check out the next issue of Rosetta Stone. Popcorn Superhet Receiver will be performed by a thirty-five-piece orchestra on January 17th in New Yorks Church of St. Paul the Apostle.
