NIN
For anyone who doesn't know (I didn't until last weekend) there's a new NIN CD coming out in April called Year Zero. Yes, Trent finally got off the 5 year plan. I'm pretty excited about it, and the marketing is pretty amazing. The album is a concept album set about 15 years in the future. They are running an alternate reality game based around the world of Year Zero, I've gotten pretty into it. As part of the game/promotion they've been releasing songs and videos and other things on USB thumbdrives that people at concerts in Europe are finding, as well as other clues in things like concert t-shirts and such. The most recent such leak contained this video.
More info on the ARG can be found at the NIN Wiki, discussion on the Echoing the sound forums (Most of the ARG stuff is in the Art Is Resistance section) and a good place to start if you want to check out some of the websites involved before you start finding out everything that people have dug up on them, is the Wikipedia Page for the album. Pretty fun stuff and I'm really liking the sound of the leaked tracks so far.
