FREE MP3S!!!

What’s better than music? FREE MUSIC! Here’s some shit people are currently giving away for the price of air.
- Headbanger’s Blog, a.k.a. the only decent thing MTV gives back to the world anymore, has a free mp3 of “Rapture of the Empty Spaces,” a new solo track from Nile’s Karl Sanders. Normally, I’d poke fun at the idea of Sanders making a solo album – after all, he’s the driving creative force and only consistent member of Nile, so why bother? – but the track (which is acoustic) is about as far away from Nile as one can get (sonically if not thematically), so the name change makes perfect sense. Sander’s new solo offering, Saurian Exorcisms, will be out on The End on April 14.
- Am I the only one who thought the Superbowl ads all sucked the big one this year? Only one, for CareerBuilder.com of all things, made me (intentionally) giggle. And while the absolute low point should have been Ed McMahon shilling for cash4gold.com, it ended up being the debut of a new Smashing Pumpkins track, “FOL,” in a Hyundai commercial. As is the case with everything Billy Corgan has done since the original line-up of the Pumpkins split up, the song blows goats and likes it, but if you’re morbidly curious, you can download it here.
And that, my friends, may be the first and last time that Karl Sanders and Billy Corgan are ever mentioned in the same story.

Yes! I have been waiting for new Karl Sander’s stuff. I never really get into Nile, but I love the solo shit, it’s great for kicking back.
oh, and corgan has ALWAYS sucked, why people got behind the smashing pumpkins is so far beyond me.
No, everything Bill Corgan has ever done since March 17, 1967 blows more than goats.
Yeah, the commercials this year sucked. The Careerbuilder.com one, if we’re talking about the same one with the repetitive thing going on was kind of funny the first time it went through it’s thing. After that it was annoying. I though MC Hammer talking about Cash for gold was a little funny though. Would have been even better if it was Mr. T.
It shouldn’t surprise you, Karl Sanders is on his second solo album, which will probably be like his first (Saurian Meditations) in that it is atmospheric. Not death metal. Not even heavy metal. A good listen, and I completely understand Karl putting it out under a different “brand” than Nile.
anyone else catch the one second miller commercial?
HIGHLIFE
Relapse to say, everything Bill Corgan has done period blows goats, and yes, possibly more.
Also, no, Nannerpuss killed me and raped my funny bone, mostly because a local Pizza place has an obnoxious talking pizza that is exactly what Nannerpuss was created to make fun of.
Key. Totally missed that one. Probably would have been my favorite. Wonder how much they paid to have that air.
At least Springsteen’s Super Bowl set was awesome…
The Smashing Pumpkins at their peak were incredible though. Siamese Dream is literally as metal as dreamy alternative rock can get.
Karl sanders is fat
