NIN Releases new album under Creative Commons Act..
NIN has released a slew of new songs, most of which are instrumental. It's pretty cool because you have several options for purchasing, and it sounds like he's also in favor of a direct connection to the fans. My understanding is that he is no longer under any record label, which allows him to pretty much do whatever he wants. Read more at my favorite source for industrial news, ReGen News.

....................

In other news, I finished The Strand's new album last night. 14 tracks with a LOT of variety between the songs. Some are funny, some are angry, some are slow, and one is produced by my new alter-ego, TimbaStrand. Now I need to send it for mastering at NR Mastering, and then off to the the presses once the graphics are finalized. There's a good possibility that the CD will be pressed and ready for our April 13th show.

April 13th show...

Awesome. Looking forward to it,

The pressing plant you use must be hellafast to have them shipped in time for 4/13. I always heard "up to two months...".

Your journal never fails to amuse me. I love your entires, there's always so much to discuss!

First off, the new NIN album is WONDERFUL. Not only is it almost 2 hours of instrumental music, something I've been waiting for for a long time, but it's got elements of all his previous work in it. I can hear bits and peices of Downward Spiral, Broken, The Fragile, Year Zero, and even With Teeth. It just goes to show, if he really WANTS to, he can trace back to his old roots and impress even the oldest of fans. Not to mention, he made $750,000 IN HIS POCKET the first few days he made the album available or download/purchase, WITHOUT ANY RECORD LABEL BEHIND HIM!! Can we say TRUELY AN AMAZING ARTIST?! I could go on and on forever, as I absolutely adore NIN and TR.

Secondly, I cannot WAIT for your new album! I've been anticipated and very anxious for something new for a while now. I think The Strand is one of the greatest bands in Arizona. You all always put on a fantastic show, your music is so different from most of what I listen to, you're silly, but serious when you need to be, and overall FUN FUN FUN! Really, I gotta thank you and the other members for putting out such innovative stuff! Hey, I'm not gonna lie... I think it's pretty groundbreaking, and ya'll have a lot of potential! Yeah... I said "ya'll". :-)

Alright, I'm sure this has been much more than you want to read. Have a good one, take care, and I hope to see you guys on April 13th!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my journal.

Wow, i didn't realize that he made that much in the first few days! That's great.

The Strand anticipates sales of at least $75 in the first few days. Heh.

Oh, I bet it'll sell more than that. You guys rock.

"Ghosts" is up to $1.6 million now. Brilliant.
