One of the first bands I fell in love with during college was Nine Inch Nails (actually back then, it wasn’t a band).

Yesterday they‘ve released The Slip—a new 10-track album—for free on http://theslip.nin.com/. The record is available in virtually every flavor of DRM-free digital format, all you need to do is give them your email address. The album will eventually be available in traditional formats as well. This move mirrors those of both Radiohead and Prince.
Available in several DRM-free formats, the record will be released on CD and vinyl in July.
“Thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years,” Reznor wrote. “This one’s on me.”
