“If Radiohead can do it, so can we,” writes GOOD on their subscription page. They’ve temporarily changed their subscription model from $20 annually to pay-what-you-can, as long as it’s at least one dollar. If you’re on a restricted budget but want the hard copy version of GOOD, here’s your chance. [GOOD]
Update: Readers have mentioned below that the subscription fee goes to charity. Here are the charitable organizations you get to choose from if you sign up:

Radiohead was just following trent reznor and now they’re back on the wagon as far as normal BS music distribution goes.

Well, considering I got my last 2 subscriptions by paying $20 to go to their annual subscription drive/open bar party, and they’re not having one in my city this year, and they’re starting to roll in money from advertising, and all their profits go to charity since the owner inherited a considerable sum of money and is not trying to make any, I will be paying $1.
Good has AWESOME info graphics. I would hang some of them on my wall.
From what I remember though, I thought 100% of the subscription rate goes towards a charity? (I got to pick from 20)
Good is good though
@Chongo: (Days later) did I say 20? I meant 12
Pretty interesting. I signed up but I’m not a big fan of autorenewals.
@DeanOfAllTrades: I would just think you could make a virtual CC with a low limit to take care of that problem.
I think that there’s a very simple reason it worked for NIN and Radiohead and it won’t work for GOOD.
People know who NIN and Radiohead are.
Um, the hell – you cant access their page with IE6? Sorry, but I dont care to upgrade to a sucky browser JUST for one page.
Dumbasses.
@El_Fez: Ha, I’m sorry dude, but IE6 is the internet version of admitting you wear tighty-whiteys. There are so many more safer, faster, and not to mention free alternatives that sticking with 6 is like voting for Bush in the coming election.
