so radiohead and nine inch nails have both been label-less and each released their new albums for free.
well last thursday nine inch nails announced that they would be holding a "film festival" for the new album. radiohead announced nearly the same thing a few days later.
nine inch nails new record "ghosts" has generic track names such as 10ghostsII or 8ghostsI or 33ghostsIV, it was revealed thursday that this was to not taint how fans interpreted the songs. on nine inch nails official account on youtube, there is a link to a group that was started. basically users are to submit a video for any song they like and ninoffical will pick their favorites and either stream them, or play a show with them as the background or do other things, they havent quite decided what yet.
radiohead is in partnership with cartoon network's adult swim with their contest. if you watch adult swim you can see advertisements instructing viewers to go to adult swims website for more info. adult swim also had commercials for radioheads newest cd, "in rainbows." radioheads contest is pretty similar, fans submit a video for a song of their choosing and other fans can vote on which they like the best and radiohead will decide which video wins. the winner gets money to produce/direct the video for radiohead.
So tomorrow is the day of the saul williams concert :D my fasha picked up the tickets yesterday after work from neumos. besides meh dad, i am going with two of my good friends Aaron and Sam. i got both of them into saul williams and we often share music that we find. the concert is a late one starting at 9:00 which means the opening band will probably start at 9:30 so im guessing it will be 2ish by the time i get home (then i have java final the next morning, yaaay :| ) I am hoping i get a tshirt because that would be very awsome >_<
