It just won’t stop.

Rick Astley plus Nirvana wasn’t enough for someone- they’re determined to go through the entire catalogue of our high school angst and Rick Roll all of it.

400 GB of Raw NiN concert footage out in the wild

You gotta hand it to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame. First it’s reported that even though he gave away Ghosts I-IV it was also the biggest selling MP3 album on Amazon for 2008 now he’s sharing the fact that some 400 GB of HD quality raw concert footage has been leaked onto the net. In a post on the Nine Inch Nails fan forums he is quoted as saying

Your gift…
The internet is full of surprises these days.
I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the footage is excellent.
If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I’ll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool.
Oh yeah, you didn’t hear this from me.

You can read the whole thread here on the NiN forums yourself but for those of you who know how to use torrents they provided some download links to share for the torrent files

Here are the links
:
Victoria
Portland
Sacramento

The included README files have some further notes about the footage, which has been conveniently formatted for easy editing and even includes Final Cut Pro sequences with the footage pre-organized for editing.

While NiN aren’t my cup of tea musically I am sure more than a few of you out there might be interested – so have at and you can thank me later.

TrueAnthem Tunes In $2 Million

Internet-based music label TrueAnthem has raised $2 million in new funding. TrueAnthem — only in its fourth month of existence — focuses on delivering artists’ music at no cost through its own TrueWidget platform. The widget is placed on the artists’ social network pages and made available for users to pull over to their own pages as well.

It’s an interesting concept in the day of closely guarded rights and constantly monitored filesharing: In addition to letting you stream an artist’s music, TrueAnthem offers you the option to download individual tracks or complete albums for free. The free versions come with a brief embedded ad at the top — or, if you want to pay the standard 99 cents per song rate, you can get the tracks ad-free.

TrueAnthem has about 5,000 active widgets around the Web right now. Bands on its roster include acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Ryan Huston. The company, based in San Francisco, says it’s seen a 500 percent increase in usage since its April launch.
