the suprising relationship between pirating and purchasing
i found this snippet on slashdot today, which says that p2p downloaders (read: music pirates) buy more music according to a study commissioned by the Canadian government (more and more i’m thinking that, despite popular american opinion, canadians RAWK). now this is something i’ve known for years, because it’s precisely the case for me. with…

niggy tardust / belated pumpkin
the new saul williams album was released yesterday, so i downloaded my copy yesterday morning and converted the flacs to mp3s so i could listen to it at work, and then burned the flacs to cd later to put it in the car. _____________________________________________ woah, that reminds me of a thing i saw posted to…

saul williams / post-vasectomy / possible future blogproject
i blogged yesterday about saul williams’ new album, but as trent says on nin.com, unlike radiohead, his is not a household name (yet). saul williams is an amazing black performance poet. he’s possibly best known for his anti-bush rant, “not in my name” or, alternately, he was in the independent film slam (or so wikipedia…

music in the digital revolution / web design project / virtual hosts / wish lists
at the bottom of my site you will see a new flash widget thing. it’s a promo for the new Saul Williams album which was done with Trent Reznor and is supposedly the next chapter in the Year Zero saga. or at least supplementary material. Trent said a couple weeks ago on his blog that…

trent sez: STEAL IT
this just in from slashdot: apparently trent reznor made some comments to a sydney audience about the ridiculous cost of cds. (and how his record label worldwide now hates him for it.) he went back to sydney and asked “so, i haven’t been paying attention, has the price gone down at all?” to which there…

nin remix, part 1
now that i got my iHack up and working (mostly), and a copy of iLife sitting on it, i made my first garageband remix of a Year Zero track. i had a version of “me, i’m not” that i did using linux tools, but i figure that i can reproduce that even easier with garageband,…

bjork – volta
bjork – volta it’s been growing on me, but it’s still not as listenable as i hoped. for me, bjork peaked around homogenic/selmasongs. there were two more albums (vespertine and medulla) which were pretty good, but not bjork’s best. then she did the soundtrack to drawing restraint. now i never saw the movie, and i’ve…

nin – year zero
nine inch nails – year zero i was frustrated by not getting this, like, the day after i ordered it from the lala store powered by newbury comics. however, i’ve been listening to it a lot since it did arrive, and i haven’t gotten tired of it yet. could be it’s because i still like…

argh / bounce / yawn
*argh* (advisory: explicit geeking)– admitedly by the time i write this, i’ve lost most of my thunder on this particular subject….HOWEVER….i had a server down at work for 9 hours. the server was a win2k3 server that wasn’t pulling an ip address from dhcp, which is hosted on the unix server. the dmesg log on…

remixing nin
nin.com has posted that trent will be releasing all of year zero to the public for remixing. so far he’s got “survivalism” (only in garageband format) and now added “capital g,” “me, i’m not,” and “my violent heart” into the mix, all of these having .wav files for the rest of us non-osx-ers. i d/l’d…
