Got this email, today. Tried to include the graphics, but it wasn't happening.
This morning I woke up invigorated and charged with the sort of energy that
might only come to someone waking up in a city surrounded by fire. I felt
alive and every instrument ever whistled by the wind surged symphonically
through me. I knew that today, whether by nature or by will, I would be
forced to reckon with what water could not quench. The fire that burns in
me is labeled poetry and music. Men in uniform have tried to put it out.
But every now and then, I blaze through hearts at nature's whim...
how clouds of ash
so easily shade
gray clouds of doubt
I've decided to put my record out.
In hopes of quenching fires:
THE INEVITABLE RISE AND LIBERATION OF NIGGYTARDUST!
http://www.niggytardust.com
Written and Performed by Saul Williams
Produced by Trent Reznor
Mixed by Alan Moulder
Exciting stuff!
Not because it's another "donationware" release on the heals of
Radiohead's In
Rainbows, but because it's a new album by
Saul Williams! Produced by
Trent Reznor! Available not only as MP3s, but also in FLAC!
FLAC and higher encoded MP3s are for paying customers ($5.00 - perfect price for an album download), lower encoded MP3s for those who want the album for free.
I paid the five bucks. Getting the FLAC files. Supposed to be available on November 1st.
I wasn't crazy about the title before I realized it was Saul Williams, and probably
about hip hop and culture. Can't wait for this.
Go sign up for it...Labels: downloads, good deal, music, music business, online retailers
