Weeeeeell, looks like Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority, et kicking-the-shit-out-of-the-foundations-brilliant cetera) is a fellow fan of the Reznor. 

'ave to say I'm surprised he likes it.  And yet I'm not. 

(what with his being Mr. I-listen-to-bands-you've-never-heard-of-they're-so-obscure-even-the-band-members-haven't-heard-of-themselves!)

Anyway, Ellis pointed this out, it's a listening port for the ENTIRE new NIN CD "Year Zero"

Legit too. As in not bootlegged or illegal.  Traced it back to NIN's website, which was far less onerous than tracing the hidden Year Zero related stuff around the net and yet faaaaar too obvious in light of that.

(he means you can get to it from the NIN website's front page -Ed)

Yeah, what kind of hide is that?

All 16 tracks are there for fellow NIN'ite advance-release listening pleasure.

(or Pain - Ed)

Probably only Jakester and I give an excrement, but that's alright.

Bring on April 17th, I've got my jugular primed for CD injection.

If so inclined, listen 'ere:

Enjoy,

Reuters, London.

A new sniff-screen technology has been released by the BBC. It relies on the screen interacting with the speakers. Regular computer speakers are used to generate impulses at high frequencies which in turn create resonating waves. When these waves interfere with the screen, a phase change occurs that leads to protons breaking down in leptons and quarks. This creates an artificial smell that you can smell while sitting at home and using your computer.

To try it out make sure your speakers are plugged in then move the mouse over the cheese. Wait for 1 minute then sniff the screen. You should then smell the cheese.

The smell should be strong and clear. If you’re having problems getting the technology to work try moving the mouse rapidly in a horizontal fashion over the photo.
