Free download from Nine Inch Nails

Last Friday saw Nine Inch Nails release the the second single off Hesitation Marks for 'free.' Copy of a is available via Amazon, but only if you live in the United States or United Kingdom. Despite being a free download, you still need to enter credit card details to place the order, which has gotten a few peoples knickers in a knot over privacy and security issues. Since Amazon is probably one of the most trusted online retailers I don't think there's too much to get uptight about, unless you're not from the U.S or U.K. and can't actually download the track. Guess I'll just have to wait till the albums release, like a majority of the rest of the world, before I can legally own a copy of a Copy of a. (Sorry I couldn't resist.)

Nine Inch Nails débuts third track from 'Hesitation Marks' in South Korea

Nine Inch Nails played two new songs off Hesitiation Marks at the Ansan Valley Rock Festival two nights ago in South Korea. The new tracks played are entitled 'Copy of a' and 'Disappointed.' Below is a video of the band opening the show with Copy of a, followed by the first live performance of Disappointed.

From the three tracks I've heard from Hesitation Marks so far, I'm quite impressed. I'm equally excited to hear the rest of the album, which sounds like it has been influenced by electronic music much more than previous Nine Inch Nails albums.
