For the first time have paid money for an album that I could have had for free, rather than, say, the other way round. I wouldn't have done it for Radiohead since, a) they are already relatively well-off and b) musically they've been kinda sucking more recently. In fact I still haven't got round to downloading that album.

But I just paid the very modest requested $5 for Mr Saul William's "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust", coincidentally produced with the rather fine Mr Trent Reznor. It's really jolly good.

Of course it helps that the dollar is worth paper at the moment...

Come to think of it the other reason I didn't like the Radiohead method was that they didn't recommend a price. I found Saul William's approach a lot simpler - plus he's been an anti-DRM campaigner for a while.

You can listen to a few tracks on Saul William's MySpace, and then buy it at Niggytardust.com if you feel so inclined...
