The Download

Saul Williams pulled a Radiohead last week. The hip-hop slam poet is giving away his third LP, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust, on his Web site. Riding shotgun is Trent Reznor, who has publicly condemned the record industry for unfair pricing, telling his fans in Australia and China to steal his latest disc. The Nine Inch Nails puppetmaster recently became a free agent with the Year Zero remix album, his 25th release, due later this month, so we're projecting that Halo 26 will be on the house. Until then, head over for a free, 192-kbps copy of Niggy Tardust, or fork over five bucks for the high-quality version.
