Bye Bye MX-5
March 29th, 2008 by thorburnMy MX-5 has finally been sold, after almost 3 years I was sad to see it go as it has been absolutely brilliant fun.
That said, I’m sure I’ll get over it….
New NiN album, buy it, buy it now.
March 5th, 2008 by thorburnNine Inch Nails have released a new album, ‘Ghosts I – IV’, a set of 36 new instrumental tracks and it’s rather good.
The first nine tracks are available for free, while the rest are available in a range of options, from $5 for a download only option to $300 for a signed vinyl set with various extras. Personally I went for the $10 (+ $13 pnp) download + 2 CD option.
Even if you aren’t a big Nine Inch Nails fan the free tracks are worth a listen, and if you like them an extra $5 isn’t much to ask for the download. You can find it here. It’s a very different sound to With Teeth or Year Zero, and seems more closely related to The Fragile, to my ears at least.
Also worth checking out is the Saul Williams album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust, which was produced by Trent Reznor, and is available completely free (although I paid for the higher quality version) here. This one definately isn’t going to be to everyones taste, but if nothing else it’s worth supporting artists distributing music without the restrictions imposed by record companies.
