~The current song in my head is Niggy Tardust by Saul Williams. *COUGH*follow link*COUGH*
~On my paper rounds this weekend I was more tense and jumpy than usual due to having read Creepy Pasta on Friday afternoon. +O
~Later I thought I could smell kerosene in the comp room. 'K.
~There are 66 books on my wanna-read list at Facebook.
~I like making lists. Yeah.
----------------------------------------------
Uhhh... The usual then... Lo, Sarah, Darktroll, B you've got a blog, right? And some strangers... Hehe, I assume some of you will read this. :p

How is Niggy Tardust doing so far???

I have not yet seen any downloading stats for it, but a few days ago the paper published some stats for Radiohead's album. :B

-1 500 000 downloads.
-38% of downloaders paid.
-The average price they chose was £2.22.

I know that in 99% of cases of trying to predict what people will do, I am WROOOOOONG... That being said, I'm guessing a greater proportion pays for Niggy! :B [accent="southern"]Why?[/accent]

-Saul & Trent are less famous than Radiohead... right? Right? *measures by number of mtv videos seen by yoze = 0 saul + 1 trent + 2 radioheads* So the "few" people that do hear about Niggy are TOTALLY HARDCORE FANS LOOKING HARDCORE-LY FOR THE INFO and may be more loyal to the guys. On average. Btw, everyone says at least Nine Inch Nails fans are loyal as hell. Hehehe. Must live up to reputation.
-If Radiohead are bigger, people should be more prone to assume they are rich enough already.
-£2.22 roughly = $5... yes?
-I still dunno exactly what the story is here, but in short... some people seemed to feel a bit ripped-off by... Radiohead's ex-label?
-Paying for Niggy lets you choose better sound quality, even the free version's qual beats that of In rainbows IIRC.
-No lyrics or art with Radiohead's album.

OMG! Somebody MIXED GENRES! ;B

The inevitable rise and liberation of NiggyTardust by Saul Williams.
Produced by Trent Reznor, which was why I found it. :B



Download this album, ffs. :B Yer options:
A. Download it for free. Really. Get addicted or not.
B. Pay 5 bucks if you like it.
C. Pay 5 bucks if you don't like it but want to encourage the use of this wicked, win-win, eco-friendlier, high-quality, DRM-free distribution model by ALL OTHER ARTISTS! :D
D. Options B + C.

~The sound has been described as... indescribable. Though not by ME. :D
~Do you not THINK you will like it? I have heard loads of people say so, then admit they guessed wrong. Like Nine Inch Nails, it's worth a listen or 8. Will you risk missing something?
~Are you turned off by, uh, whatever went wrong when Radiohead released their album in a similar way? This is different, better. (I still paid Radiohead... :p )
~Cool cover art.
~As I said, Trent produced it.
~Trent sings a bit on it. :)
~1 U2 cover.
~When Saul becomes a superstar and everyone uses the distribution model, you can say you downloaded this historical album THIS EARLY.

Btw, Master Trent has requested that we Digg it.

Hehe. IN YER FACES, disgusting record company fascists of whom I blogged 5 years ago! GENRE-MIXERS ESCAPED YOUR SANDPAPER! XD *pointsandlaughs*
