The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!
Free is goodEven though there have been many arguments about Bono on BNU the fact is U2 were a great band. Bono pretty much fucked up any cred they had left when he tried to give his service station sunnies to the Pope. But that is only this observers opinion.
Sunday Bloody Sunday is a fucking great anthem that contains the feelings of a nation behind it. Awesome lyrics, a great arrangement and so on...
Trent Reznor has just produced Saul Williams' new album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!. Aside from tracks that combine an unconventional rap style with music similar to Year Zero by NIN; this combo explodes with a rap/industrial experiment that works like it was meant to be two peas in an (i)pod.
Saul Williams does a cover version Sunday Bloody Sunday and he and Trent take it into a futuristic realm.
The album can be downloaded here for free or a higher quality version can be downloaded for the princely sum of $5.

Apart from the title the whole album blew my little mind. Saul's style is hot. Maybe there is a future for digital downloads.
is so imprinted into my brain, I have difficulty wrapping my mind around any other version.
BTW, I come to the end of my latest contract on Friday. Not a moment too soon. I realised this afternoon when, while sitting at my keyboard today I started weeping tears of rage and despair, that I have HIT THE WALL.
For my own sanity, I need a minimum of two weeks just doing fucking nothing -- which is my natural state, after all. I don't want to bend my mental powers, such that they are, to matters of questionable significance and unquestionable monotony. And the sooner I can repair to an environment where all contact with colleagues is mediated electronically, the happier I'll be.
