Back in May of last year, Ghosts was released unannounced under the Creative Commons license on the NIN website. It’s 36 instrumental tracks that Trent Reznor said were intended to be a “soundtrack for daydreams”. Buy the whole thing for $5 or download volume I for free here.
So I’m going to start promoting a lot more lesser known bands. Major labels are just pissing me off. I was ready to post the first musicleech playlist like two weeks ago (tracklist below), but a bunch of the songs on there were from major label bands and I’m not trying to get sued so [...]
The user ByteMe on rateyourmusic.com has compiled a list of band name origins. It’s far from comprehensive but it covers a wide spectrum of bands, new and old, so you’re sure to find a bunch that you know. And hey, maybe you’ll be turned on to some just based on how they got their name!

Both still have more artists to add, but already it [...]
The king of summer festivals is back on the beautiful 700-acre Manchester farm in June (11th-14th), and the announcement of (some of) the performers came this morning. The lineup is packed full of big names and great accompanying artists. Metallica and Kanye are gone this year (YES!), and Phish is bringing back Bonnaroo as a [...]
We all know Trent Reznor hates the music industry, and now more than ever Nine Inch Nails fans have reason to concur: Interscope has recently denied a DVD documenting the band’s epic “Lights in the Sky” tour, which Reznor called “FOR SURE the best show of the year” after excusing himself of a Kanye West [...]
