NIN: From Mastering to Radio in Less Than 24 Hours

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment, Technology

Trent Reznor never ceases to amaze me. Nine Inch Nails mysteriously released a new single, with lyrics, to radio stations across the US today. It was mastered less than 24 hours ago. The track is titled “Discipline” and is rumored to be on a forthcoming album to be released in two weeks. This is according to speculation from the NIN.com news feed that says “Two Weeks”. The last time the RSS feed said that we got a new album. Digital distribution awesomeness!

Big News from Trent Reznor

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment

“Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate. Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008. Exciting times, indeed.”

Trent Reznor: Steal My Music

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment

“Has anyone seen the price come down? Okay, well, you know what that means – STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin’. Because one way or another these motherfuckers will get it through their head that they’re ripping people off and that that’s not right.”

–AWESOME! I love this guy!
