monday bloody monday- john
At the peak of the Radiohead “donate-whatever-you-want-because- music-is-an-art-not-a-commodity-and-our-newest-release-InRainbows-is-no-different- just be-sure-to-cough-up-200-bucks-for-a-ticket-when-we-come-thru-your-town" mania Saul Williams took a similar approach with his newest The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust- produced by Trent Reznor who is the front man of some band or something. Maybe you have heard of him. Williams capped how many were given away for the pay-what-you-want price and then started charging a set rate for the downloads. Now, many months later- the album is set to get a proper release in late June on cd and limited edition vinyl complete with bonus tracks and what I would guess are some cool-ass pictures of Saul Williams.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Saul a few times and can only imagine how good this new material is live. Fans will have plenty of opportunity at this summer's Lollapalooza and Bumbershoot among others.
And now, a list of demands that have already been met for Saul Williams:
A Cameo on Girlfriends
Not gotten sued by David Bowie
A supporting role in K-PAX
Song in a Nike commercial
