I didn’t do a whole lot of Boxing Day shopping yesterday, but I did make it to the HMV on 333 Yonge to peruse its dwindling CD section. Boy was I surprised to see that they were selling Radiohead’s latest, In Rainbows already! You’ve probably heard about the album because Radiohead decided to sell it online and downloaders could name their price. They are finally releasing it on retail CD on January 1^st in North America, and December 31^st in the rest of the world.

I had seen the HMV Boxing Week flyers, and they said they would be selling In Rainbows for $10 from January 2^nd to the 9^th, so I was counting on hitting the mall then to get it. But instead I had it yesterday, yippee. One neat thing is that it comes in a digipack which in the long run saves the environment (fewer CD cases and less space for shipping). What was neat was that the digipack came with stickers that you can stick on an existing CD case to make your own In Rainbows CD!
