Radiohead Teams with Aniboom for Video Contest

Radiohead is an English alternative rock band that has been around since 1992.  Last year a big deal was made with their In Rainbows album because they were the first to sell it through their own site as a digital download and then the buyers chose the price they wanted to pay (this is similar to the approach that Nine Inch Nails is taking with their latest album).
