"It's not uncommon these days for artists large and small to offer free previews of their work before it goes on sale. Offering single tracks for stream or download only serves to pique the listener's interest. It's a smart move given that users can stream pretty much any album via services like Spotify and MOG.\nThis week, some big names are offering streams of their much-anticipated albums, starting with Radiohead. Radiohead is streaming TKOL RMX 1234567, an album of remixed songs taken from their latest record, The King of Limbs. The album isn't due until Oct. 11 but you can stream it via Soundcloud below, courtesy of blog aggregation site Hype Machine. \n\nAmerican songwriter Ryan Adams is also using Soundcloud to offer a free stream of his new album, Ashes and Fire. The album is slated to go on sale Oct. 11  and features Norah Jones on piano and backing vocals. Adams's label has also launched a special album website where listeners can hear four non-album tracks that are not available in the Soundcloud stream. \n    \nBjork's new album, Biophilia, is also being released with a corresponding iPad app. While we haven't had a hands-on with the app yet, you can hear the 10 songs that make up the album right now. Like the others, Biophilia will also be released Oct. 11, but NPR has the exclusive stream right now. Check out the first music video from the album for \"Cystalline,\" directed by Michel Gondry, below.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
