There have been rumours that My Bloody Valentine will release their previously reported comeback album in a similar way to Radiohead, though before you get too excited, that seems to mean 'self-release' and 'online' rather than offering the new long player on a 'pay what you want' basis.
MBV manager Vinita Joshi told Billboard: "At the moment, all I can say is that Kevin [Shields] is getting the band back together and they will go into the studio next month to work on the new record. The plan is that they will release the album themselves via the internet, but there will also probably be a vinyl release". But she added that there were currently no plans to let fans decide what to pay.
As previously reported, despite many people initially praising Radiohead's pay what you want promotion, a number of artists have subsequently said they'd never make their music available that way. But hip hop mogul Jay-Z recently told the Guardian: "What Radiohead did with their album was a genius idea. I'm gonna pay $50 for it"; though I don't see 'American Gangster' available for 9p on the internet. Well, not legally, anyway.
