Nine Inch Nails / Trent Reznor has released a new instrumental album entitled Ghosts I - IV in several different formats. You can download Ghosts I completely free off of their web site, order a DRM-free high-quality MP3 download of I-IV for $5, or various physical versions for more money, including a $300 collector’s package, limited to 2,500, and personally signed by Trent Reznor.
From sudjam.com:
This music arrived unexpectedly as the result of an experiment. The rules were as follows: 10 weeks, no clear agenda, no overthinking, everything driven by impulse. Whatever happens during that time gets released as… something.
The team: Atticus Ross, Alan Moulder and myself with some help from Alessandro Cortini, Adrian Belew and Brian Viglione. Rob Sheridan collaborated with Artist in Residence (A R) to create the accompanying visual and physical aesthetic.
We began improvising and let the music decide the direction. Eyes were closed, hands played instruments and it began. Within a matter of days it became clear we were on to something, and a lot of material began appearing. What we thought could be a five song EP became much more. I invited some friends over to join in and we all enjoyed the process of collaborating on this.
The end result is a wildly varied body of music that we’re able to present to the world in ways the confines of a major record label would never have allowed - from a 100% DRM-free, high-quality download, to the most luxurious physical package we’ve ever created.
More volumes of Ghosts are likely to appear in the future.
- Trent Reznor, March 2, 2008
The FAQ for the album lists this interesting tidbit of information:

From baltimoresun.com:
Miley Ray Cyrus and pop-star alter-ego Hannah Montana are selling out movie theaters in such record-breaking style that the films run has been extended.
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, the 3-D film chronicling her recent tour, was the biggest debut ever on a Super Bowl weekend, pulling in $29 million, according to studio estimates yesterday.
Distributor Disney planned to have the movie out for only a week but now has decided to keep it in theaters until it runs its course. The film - featuring Miley, 15, both as herself backstage and as her Disney Channel character, pop sensation Hannah - fills the void for fans unable to catch one of the live shows on the Hannah Montana 54-date tour. Digital 3-D technology gives fans the illusion of practically being at a live show.

From iriver and the house The Mouse built comes this limited edition Mplayer. Gold plating and a Philips PNX0103ET audio processor create what iriver calls an “assassin’s mace” of a device. Sure, Cute. Simple. Friendly. Now add Opulent to the tagline too — at 元888 Chinese Yuan (about $123) you’ll be looking at a 100% or so markup over their standard 1GB Mplayer.
Thanks goes to Dan Smith for the link.

If you werent lucky or fast enough to score tickets for the most anticipated concert of the decade, you arent alone.
Tonights 7 p.m. concert, The Best of Both Worlds Tour featuring 14-year-old songwriter and actress Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney hit series Hannah Montana, is sold out - all 16,000 tickets, said Quicken Loans Arena Corporate Communications Director Phyllis Salem.
But those heading downtown tonight who do have tickets should be warned they may not be able to take their usual route to the arena. Cleveland police will be altering traffic patterns this evening, especially for the concert, Salem said.
Parents can drop off their children at the Ontario drop-off site, but they may not be able to pick them up there, Salem warns.

Prince is in talks with a group of unofficial fan sites with a view to settling a copyright dispute.
After last week referring to three websites that had unified under the banner Prince Fans United as “unofficial and unauthorised phoney fan sites that exploit both consumers and artists,” Prince’s representatives are in negotiations that could see some kind of settlement between the two parties.

Opening night of Van Halen’s long-awaited reunion with David Lee Roth literally kicked off with several of Roth’s highflying kicks at Charlotte Bobcats Arena on Thursday, although Eddie Van Halen was the first to appear on stage with one of his own signature hurky-style jumps.
The last time Van Halen performed in Charlotte with Roth as its frontman, he had just turned 30, gas was $1.21 a gallon and tickets to the show at the old Charlotte Coliseum were $12.50.
Twenty-three years later, the band’s original members are all over 50 and guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s 16-year-old son Wolfgang has replaced original bassist Michael Anthony.
The show sold out in a matter of minutes in August, and the arena was packed when the band hit the stage around 8:30 p.m., following a short but sweet set of pop and reggae-tinged R&B by Kymani Marley. Read the rest of this entry »

From machinehead1.com:
In a stunning last-minute move, Walt Disney Properties have pressured promoter Live Nation into canceling Machine Heads performance tomorrow night at the House of Blues venue in Anaheim on their Disneyland property. Citing violent imagery, undesirable fans and inflammatory lyrics as the reason, the diversity-impaired corporation began pressuring the promoter on Saturday to cancel all upcoming heavy metal concerts, placing Machine Head under an internal “review process” that took 5 days before bothering to convey their alarming decision to the band late yesterday - less than 48 hours before their Black Tyranny Tour was to kick off at House of Blues Anaheim on Friday night.

In the days since Van Halen’s August 13 announcement that a long-awaited reunion tour with founding frontman David Lee Roth was, indeed, on, the band’s trusty fans haven’t heard from the one man who could make a true VH reunion complete: original bassist Michael Anthony.
Instead, fans would eventually learn, Anthony has been replaced by guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s 16-year-old son Wolfgang. Anthony hasn’t granted any media interviews, and the band’s followers have wondered why he’s been excluded from what is already turning out to be a sellout, 25-date North American run, which kicks off in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 27. But on Tuesday, Anthony broke his silence in a pithy blog titled “Thanks for the support,” which was posted on the musician’s website. Read the rest of this entry »
