NIN's Trent Reznor's got more free downloads.

To support the new soundtrack album for the movie, "The Social Network", Reznor's got a free download sampler of 5 tracks (you have to register your email address to get the download link).  The link sends you to a site that also allows you to buy the physical album with various options.  I call it smart marketing, really.  Of course, you can probably find it on a torrent.

If you were expecting Reznor to sing, the 5 tracks are background movie music, but it's still very good.  Is he doing a Danny Elfman?

They've also set up a $2.99 price for digital download of the entire album on September 28 - 29 only, on Amazon.com.  That's less than what I paid for downloading Radiohead's exclusive In Rainbows album, when they allowed you to set your own price (I set my own price at $5).

It's not available yet on Amazon, so don't bother searching.
