The Slip - Nine Inch Nails' New Album Available for free download

Apparently, there's a business model in giving away free music. NIN's newest album, The Slip, as well as the previous one called The Ghost I-IV are available for free at the band's website nin.com. You can even choose the file types. The physical version of The Slip will not be available until July, and based on the band's previous experience, the album will sell even if it's freely available on the internets. I hope more bands will follow Trent Reznor's example.

Moonpools and Caterpillars

Moonpools and Caterpillars was a Fil-Am band which enjoyed a streak of popularity in the US and the Philippines more than a decade ago. They even went to the Philippines and performed at the World Trade Center in Pasay. I think I was still in college then and I was lucky to catch the gig. I even bought a Lucky Dumpling tshirt that I was able to wear twice before a friend "arbored " it.

Anyway, I was alerted to this youtube video of the band performing JDL's Beep Beep at Whisky-a-Go-Go. Enjoy!



And here's a bonus, a live performance of Soon.
