So I’ve been delinquent with blogging!

Life in SF is good, and so that could be why. When you’re running around doing a thousand things, and you’ve broken your regular routine of blogging, it’s easy for that to deteriorate into zero updates.

I’ve spent most of my free time working on the book. I’ve got a what I feel is a great completed outline and structure (which is an awesome feeling!). And I’ve now shifted into a hardcore writing mode. What helps with writing is music. And not just any music, but ideally music without words, but still with powerful energy.

Enter NIN.

If you haven’t checked out Nine Inch Nails’ new album, Ghosts, you have to. It’s amazing. No vocals. Just amazing instrumentation and production. I love the pictures they’ve embedded along with the songs as well. At times, just literally looking at the image and listening to the song will give you goose bumps. Ridiculously powerful stuff. My writing is definitely fueled by this. I can’t recommend it any higher.

To go along with this. NIN is beyond awesome. Why? They’re giving part of the album, and then only charging you $5 if you want to download the whole epic set. $10 gets you the immediate download AND an album in the mail. I kid you not.

Brilliant music. Brilliant pricing. (Breathtaking photos as well, by the way). This is how you build a brand. A brand everyone loves. Based on this experience, I now count NIN as one of my favorite bands.

You, go download it!

Me, going to go back to writing now.
