Look ma! I'm a DJ!

Trent Reznor/NIN have a new album. Said album has a new single, 'the hand that feeds'. You can download it for free here.

Oh, oops, sorry, my bad. That's not an MP3. Or WMA. Or even AAC.


It's the entire song, in GarageBand format. Yup, he and his crew took the raw Pro Tools tracks from the studio session, and saved them for GarageBand, so all of us can remix it to our heart's content. Each track, including vocals, ready to edit and play with.

God I love that man.

It's exclusive to the GarageBand application for Macs. Any Mac shipped in the last 18 months or so came with a copy. Check the link for what all it can do, it's a music mixing and creation application. I suppose if you just wanted an AAC or MP3 file, a friendly Mac user could make you one. :)

(Technically, since it's actually in Apple Loops format in the tracks, Logic Pro and a number of other third party apps will read it as well, but all Macs now come with GarageBand.)

Hey! You're friendly. Could you make an mp3 and email it to me?

*laugh* Y'know, I would, but I haven't even found the time to download the file myself yet. Just posting here to pass the good word. :)
