They do it to themselves, they do

Rh
Sneak has always been a rather depressive soul, so it should come as no surprise, dear reader, that he loves a bit of Radiohead now and again. Although, not so much the band's recent dalliances with minimalist-electro-weirdness. Still, the boys' credentials as stadium-filling super rock stars are fairly impeccable, and online merchants everywhere rightly rub their hands with glee at the thought of bumper CD and download sales that greet each new album release.

Now, Sneak is not the sharpest economist in the box, but the 'Head's recent declaration that they'll allow fans to pay as much or as little as they like for new downloads could be a little naïve. Like that time Sneak asked for two cans of Diet from that nice young man who offered to sell him Coke in Hackney the other week. If it catches on, the antics of RH and their like may do for e-commerce what rising ID fraud and poor internet security have long threatened. Beware crazy rock bands bearing gifts.
