A big thanks to Taylor and Ben who clued me into a couple of nice downloads.

The first is my new addiction, Nine Inch Nail's latest CD "The Slip". Now, I've liked a lot of NIN songs but I never was really a fan. I didn't really follow them, just picked up random songs here and there. But when I found out that Trent Reznor was giving away the latest album for free on the band's website, I had to give it a try. Maybe fans might not be impressed; maybe it's not their greatest work but I love it. It'll be getting heavy rotation for the month of October.

As for Ben's addition to my life, it's iConcertCal for iTunes. Basically, it's a plug-in that tells you when any band in your iTunes is coming to play in your area or has a new album coming out. Seeing as I'm someone who CONSTANTLY hears about concerts too late, this will be helpful.
