More Free NIN Stuff!

I think Trent Reznor has quickly picked up what Radiohead started. Sure, he has perfected the "Radiohead model" of selling your wares online. But, he actually gives them a reason to buy something. He's quickly turning into a promotion genius.

His latest venture is Lights in The Sky, which consists of bands opening up for him, er, Nine Inch Nails. If I were part of Does It Offend You, Yeah? I would be super-stoked about this. It's a great way to expose new artists to his older fans.

The best part is it's for free, y'all! You can get it here. (Ultra8021)

Does It Offend You, Yeah?

A lot of times if I see a band that has been super-hyped by the blogs I'm usually compelled to stay away. I don't know why...I just do that.

However, I was fortunate enough to hear "We Are Rockstars" by Does It Offend You, Yeah? last week and I was smitten. Their sound is very similar to Daft Punk. So, for me, that's always a plus. I also like how the song "Battle Royale" as some old school sounds similar to "New York" by Microchip League. Good stuff.
