‘Watchmen’ Trailer

OMG, Watchmen Trailer.

Best comic book movie of 2009?

Update: If you’re looking for the music from the trailer, it’s a Smashing Pumpkins B-Side called The Beginning is the End is the Beginning. You can pick it up on Amazon’s MP3 store for just 89¢. I could pick out the artist but thanks to inFocus for the tip of the song name.

‘Colin Meloy Sings Sam Cooke’ Album Art

\'Colin Meloy Sings Sam Cooke\' Album ArtSince this CD was never released in stores it’s a bit difficult to find album artwork. So I took it upon myself to scan the cover and posted a high resolution version for anyone out there to use.

Enjoy.

PS: If anyone out there has the ‘Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey’ tracks please give me a shout in the comments.

NIN Slip out a New Halo for Free

May 7th, 2008 1 Comment »

\'The Slip\' Cover ArtIt seems like Trent Reznor & Co. at NIN enjoyed their experiment releasing the single ‘Discipline’ for free on the interwebs (as I mentioned a few weeks ago), because they went ahead and released the whole album for free this week.

The Slip’ is available in a variety of audio formats completely free of charge.  Multitrack audio files (for remixing) are also available and a traditional physical media release will happen in July.

Two awesome things about the album:

  1. It’s released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike license so it can be shared and remixed freely.
  2. The digital downloads include unique album art and lyrics for each song (which, of course, can be seen on the iPhone).

So far the album hasn’t grabbed me like ‘Year Zero’ or ‘Ghosts I-IV’ did but I’ll give it some time to absorb.

New NIN Single ‘Discipline’

April 24th, 2008 No Comments »

NIN just posted their new single, titled ‘Discipline’ online for free. Download it here.  Good stuff, more traditional NIN (meaning not ambient stuff like ‘Ghosts I-IV’).

BTW, I’m loving the level of interaction Trent and the band are having with their fans now that they shed their label.

Update: The whole album has now been released for free. Details.
