Just last week we posted about Radiohead’s new pay-what-you-want pricing for their new album. Today, Trent Reznor announces that Nine Inch Nails is now “a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label.” He goes on to write: “I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.” Hopefully, more and more artists will free themselves from the bonds of the music industry and record labels. When they do, new and old fans alike will be here to support them even more than before. (via MarshallK’s twitter)

UPDATE: Oct 9 - Oasis, Jamiroquai to follow Radiohead

Radiohead‘s new album, ”In Rainbows,” is set to be released on October 10th. The band is currently accepting pre-orders through their website either as a download or discbox.  The price of the download?  It’s up to you. I bet fans will voluntarily pay even more than they would have if the price was set.  Supporting the artists we love directly is what we’ve always wanted to do - cutting out the labels, the distribution costs, the DRM. If the comments at Digg are any indication, this is the how we all want our music.

UPDATE: Oct 9 - NIN is a Free Agent and Oasis, Jamiroquai to follow Radiohead
