NIN releases another album with Creative Commons license

without comments

NIN – The Slip.

This time a full album. Last time it was 1/4 of an album. This time we get the whole variety of songs from ambient Corona Radiata to a “pop hit”-like Discipline to a beat-blowing must-looper – Demon Seed – finishing it all up with a cherry on top.

Nice work Trent and keep ‘em coming! :)

Nine Inch Nails releases their latest under a Creative Commons license

with one comment

Nine Inch Nails released their new instrumental album under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license, at least the first quarter of it. Ghosts I. I think it’s not a musical masterpiece, but I’ve always liked the NIN sound, so I’m looping it. As much as I understand, this is the first big artist releasing his music under a CC license. Too bad, it isn’t the whole album. It would do them good to get out of all the nasty corporate releasing business. Perhaps they’d get some money out of it. Until then, respect.

20080303 recap – Lufthansa Airbus a la Windy Frankfurter, heavymetal Eurovision for Finland,

without comments

It appears Finland is once again having their Eurovision a’la heavy metal. “Missä miehet ratsastaa”? One could translate it as “where the men ride their horses”? A stupid question, but a little suggestion – listen and wipe off that smirk from your face, it isn’t like english sounds much better with classic heavy metal vocals. One must give them credit as they at least try something different from the usual BS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0BiRGxCMMU

Kodak moment. Amazing footage straight from the land with no speedlimit – Germany, Frankfurt. Clearly they didn’t think it through as an Airbus almost crashes during the landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J284VO_md_c

US scientists are wondering why US kids are so stupid. The main paragraph:
The Finns won attention with their performances in triennial tests sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group funded by 30 countries that monitors social and economic trends. In the most recent test, which focused on science, Finland’s students placed first in science and near the top in math and reading, according to results released late last year.
