You Knew We’d Never Make it Anyway
There's a new free Nine Inch Nails record available for legal download! My hard drive's full-to-bursting, so I made room for it by deleting the last free Nine Inch Nails record.

The only album in the world that matters, right now, comes out on May 13th. Using Twelve Angry Months and the band's week-long catalogue-covering stand as an excuse, the new muxtape is something for which you've all been clamoring: 100% Local H.
It's not a best-of mix. I erred toward poppier, lo-aggro songs. Made sure that Michelle, Rita, and Heather all got their space. Bob Pollard, too: To observe mux's one track/CD rule (beyond a single conjoined pair) there's stuff pulled from demos and soundtracks and stuff. "Congressman," hoo-boy that's old.
After the seven nights in Chicago (openers include Fig Dish (!) and the Smoking Popes' Josh Caterer), they hit the road. Unless you hate life, you're going to see Local H (myspace) when they're in your town. (If they're not coming to your town, life hates you.)
NYC dates include a confirmed appearance at Irving Plaza for Joey Ramone's Birthday Thang (tix) on May 19th and a May 18th Luna Lounge show that might have to be relocated (looks like tix have all been pulled offsale - c'mon, life!).
UPDATE: The Brooklyn show has been moved to Union Pool. No ticket info as of yet.
Another audio affair to wed is the long-anticipated (even though it's been
streaming for almost 6 months) Firewater album "The Golden Hour," which
comes out tomorrow. The tour to support it hit NYC/PA in late May
(myspace.com/realfirewater). Just sayin'.
