It's safe to say tensions between Radiohead and their former label EMI are pretty high right now. Soon after the band snubbed EMI by self-releasing In Rainbows, the label announced it would re-release Radiohead's entire back catalog in a deluxe box set. Interestingly, it has the exact same price tag and release date as Radiohead's deluxe In Rainbows disc box. Last week, EMI's actions took an even more outrageous turn – the label placed a misleading Google advertisement for an album called "Rainbow" that re-directed to a site selling EMI's box set. EMI has since retracted the advertisement, calling it a "data source glitch" (which might be something like a wardrobe malfunction).
