Nine Inch Nails know how to work the web and they know their fans well. Trent Reznor, with his band had released their latest album, The Slip, officially available online to be downloaded at nin.com.
The band Nine Inch Nails is known for their shenanigans on the web as they promote and distribute their music. Although Radiohead might not wish to repeat their give away stunt, but Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails look like they are embracing this new style of distribution.
“Support Our Local Acts!” is actually a 2 CD set compilation album featuring 20 of the finest bands coming from Malaysia’s local indie music scene. Even though few of the bands featured are more mainstream these days, you can’t denied their indie roots.
The compilation is a joint venture between Malaya Records and Universal Music, with bands like, ACAB, OAG, The Pilgrims, Butterfingers, Project AK, They Will Kill Us All, Komplot, The Suspect, Koffin Kanser, Gerhana Ska Cinta, FlopPoppy, Hujan, Couple and many more. It is a good mix of different genre in Malaysia local music scene and ranges between old and the new upcoming bands.
Gone were the days where television used to have good contents. When Astro, had TechTV on, I thought that they had made a channel with shows tailored specifically to me.
Then the G4/TechTV merger / acquisition thing happened and it all when downhill afterwords. The channel is no longer on Astro. I haven’t watch much of anything from Astro ever since then. I got all I need on the Internet thanks to media companies like Revision3 and others.
Revision3 is one of the few media companies that truly gets it. Born from the internet, designed to cater for the internet crowd, an ever growing on-demand generation. Revision3 is not YouTube, it is an actual TV network, producing its own original broadcast quality shows made for the web.
5 undersea Internet cables snapped within a short time frame. Is the Internet under attack? The Internet, most of it, are connected with intercontinental cables submerge undersea.
Several undersea Internet cables in Asia that connects to Europe and the rest of the world snapped. India and part of the Middle East are suffering from Internet traffic slowdown.
Some sources mentioned of ship’s anchor being drag by a storm which might have cause it. It’s must be a huge storm if it can drag anchored ships from Egypt to India (is that even possible?). May be it wasn’t the same ship, several ships suddenly dropped anchor on Internet cables around the same week.
Five cables around the Middle East snapped, ok so one was powered down for some odd reason, it is still weird and a little bit fishy to me.
Until the early 1990s, media had always relied primarily upon print and analog broadcast. Newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcast are the known method for people to consume information and entertainment. These medium are easily controllable.
These days, I find myself not needing any of those.
I rarely watches television even though I have an Astro subscription with over hundred channels. These days I download all my entertainment needs from the Internet. I am not advocating piracy.
