i rarely go to the record store (for shame!) but yesterday I did and noticed a bunch of copies of Radiohead’s Airbag / How am I driving? ep in stock. This EP was once the pinnacle piece of any serious Radiohead fan’s collection, because it was a limited edition US-only release. In my university days I would source copies of the EP and sell them on ebay for tidy profits – as you can see on Amazon.com, in 2003 there was a copy available for $77. While I never made that tidy a profit, now that it is 2008, and Radiohead’s stock is so high – Capitol has re-released the EP and I would definitely recommend the $7 purchase on Amazon or your local independent music retailer (mall goers in Canada: at HMV the CD is 2 for $20).

Heck, I have a copy i could let go for $5…I was saving it for my children, but I guess their university fund will have to start with actual cash rather than the once prized possession of my radiohead collection.
