Moody: Mood Tag Your iTunes Songs

Year Zero has begun
We usually have to wait for 5 years or so between albums, But today, Trent is now giving the world his second full length opus in 2 years…Yero Zero. This is a concept album like no other i have seen before, as he promoted the album via a very interesting marketing campaign…
On February 12, 2007, fans found that a new Nine Inch Nails tour T-shirt contained highlighted letters that spell out the words “I am trying to believe.” It was discovered that iamtryingtobelieve.com was registered as a website, and soon several related websites were found in the IP range, all describing a dystopian vision of the world fifteen years in the future.[Many events reported on these websites take place in the year “0000.” Digit Online later reported that 42 Entertainment had created these websites to promote Year Zero. Rolling Stone described the fan involvement in this promotion as the “marketing team’s dream.” Trent Reznor has however stated, “The term ‘marketing’ sure is a frustrating one for me at the moment. What you are now starting to experience IS ‘year zero’. It’s not some kind of gimmick to get you to buy a record - it IS the art form… and we’re just getting started. Hope you enjoy the ride.”
On February 12, 2007, a USB drive was found in a bathroom stall during a NIN concert in Lisbon, Portugal. It contained a high-quality MP3 of the track “My Violent Heart,” which quickly circulated the Internet. Another USB drive containing the same track was purportedly found in Madrid, Spain.
On February 19, another USB drive was found in Barcelona, Spain, containing the track “Me, I’m Not” and an MP3 of static.
An image file found on the February 25, 2007 USB in Manchester, England, titled “invitation.jpg”.
On February 25, a third USB drive was found in Manchester, England, containing the track “In This Twilight” and an image of the Hollywood sign apparently demolished.
Concerning the use of USB drives as a form of promotion, Reznor explains:
“ The USB drive was simply a mechanism of leaking the music and data we wanted out there. The medium of the CD is outdated and irrelevant. It’s really painfully obvious what people want - DRM-free music they can do what they want with. If the greedy record industry would embrace that concept I truly think people would pay for music and consume more of it.
