Nine Inch Nails is dishing out more fan-friendly fun. You can go by their website and download their new single, Discipline, for free. You can also pick up the multi-track files for remixing there as well. They also have a new website launch in under 2 weeks, which will probably bitch slap a lot of other mainstream bands out there in regards to their sites.

Travis Barker and DJ AM hurt in plane crash in South Carolina.

4 killed in SC plane crash; drummer, DJ injured

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.

Two other passengers — Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.

The plane was headed for Van Nuys, Calif. It is owned by Global Exec Aviation, a California-based charter company, and was certified to operate last year, Hersman said. The company said it had no immediate comment.

At the crash site Saturday, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane.

"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night. Event sponsor T-Mobile said their hourlong set ended at about 7:15 p.m.

The show, which included performances by former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell and singer Gavin DeGraw, drew 10,000 people into the streets of Five Points, the neighborhood near the University of South Carolina, Coble said.

Peter Kastis, Farrell's manager, said he and Farrell didn't find out about the crash until they arrived at the airport Saturday morning to find it closed.

"I just hugged them hello less than 24 hours ago. I wish I could hug them now," Kastis said.

One concertgoer said TRVSDJ-AM's performance was unique and different.

"It was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen," said Brett Flashnick, a freelance photographer who works for The Associated Press and attended the concert for a local newspaper.

Barker, 32, was one of the more colorful members of the multiplatinum-selling punk rock band Blink-182, whose biggest album was 1999's CD "Enema of the State," which sold more than five million copies in the United States alone.

After Blink-182 disbanded in 2005, Barker went on to form the rock band ( 44) — pronounced "plus forty-four." He also starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life. Their later split, reconciliation and subsequent break up made them tabloid favorites.

Goldstein is a popular DJ for hire who at one time was engaged to Nicole Richie.

He spun a mix of hip-hop and dance beats for the hottest nightclubs and had a string of dates set up for the next few weeks. He reached the peak of his celebrity perhaps during his highly publicized romance with Richie a few years ago.

DJ AM also dated singer/actress Mandy Moore, and while he became a gossip favorite for his romances, he drew respect from music aficionados for his DJ skills.

Barker and Goldstein performed as part of the house band at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

Mitch Mitchell, long time drummer for Jimi Hendrix, passed away yesterday in Portland, OR. He died of natural causes at the age of 61. He had just completed a Hendrix tribute tour. To say that I'm crushed is an understatement. I have been a huge Hendrix fan for the last 11 years, and always felt Mitchell was underrated in the world of drummers. All three members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience have passed away. Hendrix in 1970; bass player Noel Redding in 2003; and Mitch Mitchell in 2008.

Oh boo.

But now they're all together somewhere making music again.

Bonnaroo lineup is announced. Looks like a great list for this year. Beasties, Snoop, NIN, Springsteen, and Wilco are some of the big names playing.

NIN is touring with Jane's Addiction when NIN returns stateside. That's one hell of a going away tour.

Yeah I just read about this too. I really really regret not having the money to see NIN when they were near here... cause now I might have to put out some big cash and go to minneapolis, since I doubt they'll come anywhere closer like North Dakota or Montana.

Yeah and I hope they choose The X-Cel Energy Center over the Target Center. Target Center is a poopy arena for concerts.

This made me laugh:

Some pretty great moments in the video too, such as a teenage boy being reduced to tears just by meeting her, her saying she hates pop (despite the fact that that's the music she makes), her pretty much saying she's entitled to meet Radiohead, she thinks she can ruin them, and the DJs saying their performance sucked and/or they've never heard of them.

I can't bring myself to watch it, but just the article about it was enough to make me cringe. Frigging spoiled brat.

I think the most disturbing part of that sound-clip is not Miley Cyrus acting like a spoiled teenage girl ('cause, you know, not a big shocker there), but the fact that the guy interviewing her has never heard of Radiohead :wtf:

Was that supposed to be a video? I just got ten minutes of sound over the same image. 10 really boring minutes of sound.

Yeah, Thom Yorke snubbeing Miley at the Grammy's is just awesome.

Yeah, it's just a photo. I just found it ammusing how stupid she can make herself sound when trying to make this point of "what bad people they are," despite her clearly making herself sound like a spoiled bitch. :nod:
