Ghosts

March 5, 2008

This is going to be the way most established artists release new material.  Nine Inch Nails released a new record this week, comprised of 36 instrumental tracks - without any funding from a record company.  It’s like the music you’d hear on CSI, except more abrasive and experimental.

9 songs available legally via bittorrent = $0
36 songs from amazon.com:  $5
2-Disc CD: $10
Ultra-Deluxe Vinyl Autographed Box Set: $300
Making the RIAA pee their pants:  priceless

 Introducing the latest development in finger drumming (I’m nowhere near as good as this guy):
