Hi, just want to tell that there’s bug on the main page’s free download section - both video links point to the same clip. Greets! :)

Thanks, Peter. At least someone is paying attention. I know a lot of you probably downloaded the Tabula Rasa video a long time ago so you have no reason to click on that link, but c’mon! The new site has been up for a couple months now and no one caught that yet? What is the world coming to?

If anyone would like to apologize for not catching that broken link they can do so over on the contact page. We’ll be answering emails here on the blog, so if you’re gonna take the time to contact us, make it good. I’ll also be going through some old email and the metric fuckton of messages we’ve gotten through Myspace over the past few years, so if you’re still wondering about that email you sent us 5 years ago, there’s still hope!

Being all instrumental tracks, it was a departure from what they would normally release as a full length album. I figured it was either a one-off kind of thing or that they would at least charge something for their next traditional release (with vocals and hit singles and stuff). I guess I was wrong.

NIN - The Slip album cover and track listing
Over the weekend (or today, I’m not sure) NIN released a brand new album called The Slip through thir website. To get it all you have to do is fill out your name and a valid email address. In return you get links to download the album in several formats, including MP3, FLAC and even WAV. It’s being released under a Creative Commons license, which means you are also free to share it with whoever you want as well as remix and rerelease your own versions of the songs (provided you aren’t charging for them).

It’s nice to see a successful artist giving back to his fan base like this. If we had NIN money we’d probably do the same thing. Unfortunately we only have Sinch money (which is on the same level as “gas money” or “lunch money”), so we’re gonna have to charge you for our new album. With your help we can one day make NIN money and you’ll all be first in line for all the cool free stuff we’ll be giving away.

The latest configuration was to post links every 3 days. But for some reason there was some overlap where links were being posted multiple times. The feature is still in beta so I guess that’s to be expected. Add to that the fact that the links posts are far outnumbering any other kinds of posts and it’s starting to look like that’s all that’s going on here.

So for now I’m gonna try keeping the links posts to once a week. It will naturally be a much longer post, but it will keep the links-posts-to-actual-content-posts ratio a little more reasonable.
