I've been listening to In Rainbows. It's pretty good, but I'm not getting all that much from it yet... to my uneducated ear, it's sort of a poor man's The Eraser. Experience has taught me that it'll inevitably become my most favourite thing ever after further listening.
PSFK has a post that neatly encapsulates my thoughts on record labels: they'll end up being like venture capital firms for musicians. That is to say, I don't think they'll die, because I think they have useful things to offer (cash, connections, power, etc) although organic and self-sustaining growth will become not just a possibility for bands, but, in many cases, the prudent and sensible option.
