Trent Reznor has released his new single (“The hand that feeds”) for free on-line. This, by itself, is hardly big news (although it’s cool). The really spiffy part is that he’s released it in Garage Band format, so people can remix, fiddle, and rearrange to their heart’s content. Kinda like what Jay-Z did with his Black Album (hence the excellent Grey Album), but even more open.

The possibilities here are really huge. The trick, though, is to let the artists do their art thing with minimal crap from the record companies, and that’s not gonna be easy.

Thanks to Aaron I. for pointing me to this way nifty factoid.

Pitchfork is reporting the sad news that the Delgados are splitting up. While their later albums are nice, I’m still way partial to their first release, Domestiques, which I learned about from John Peel‘s 1996 Festive Fifty. “Under canvas under wraps” is a great song even 10 years on.

Thanks to the band for sharing their music, and best wishes in whatever follows.

Currently listening to: “Voy A Llorar” by Caballeros Del Norte from the fine little disc A Taste Of Tex Mex.
