ok...

I was on "a file sharing torrent site" and someone posted up another two mp3's

"Me, I'm Not" and "2432"

and apparently - there's a new phone number to call:
1- 216-333-1810

but I don't know if this number is legitmately part of this whole deal...

I did call the number, and I will say - that it F_CKING FREAKED ME OUT

(edit)
ok, yea - the number is a legit deal. I just checked on a NIN webpage
here's a link to the new track -> http://symphonyofnoise.com/nails/yearzero/
and if you don't want to call the number -> http://resync.net/~cut/0/uswiretap-20070219.mp3

(edit 2)
WHOA I just read how people figured out the new phone number...
so with the flash drive that had "Me, I'm Not" there also was a track of just basically 'cricket sounds'. The file is called "2432". When someone ran the track through a 'spectrograph' or whatever they got the number

yeah, i saw all that on 'music for toasters' yesterday morning and called the number after class. convincing enough to be mildly disturbing, but the effort being put into promotion and how fun they're making it (flash drives in bathrooms lead to mp3s with encoded phone numbers is rad. having it lead to a wiretap directory to a realistic phone convo of terror and fear is super rad) had me look for other promo material. another good one is the ballgameover. sure, it has a guy babbling a lot of BS, but the baseball game blaring on tv is pretty fun to hear.

and plus the songs leaked so far are pretty good...

i think this whole package might be pretty great. hope a comprehensive dvd bloated with extras and material comes out after part two is done.
if it's actually well done, that is.

[thee carp dreamer]

it's all rad. you can't imagine underworld releasing an album with such style.

[dubman]

so!
we're having more fun.

new video on the year zero site. 'the presence', should you ever buy into that, looks a lot creepier on film than in photos. theres a split frame near the end where we have the numbers "/0024" which lead to this:

I really like that little video clip that was uploaded and the creepy aspect that it added to the overall information available up until this point.

[kid cue]

those 3 songs just sound like fancy cyber-goth music for Quake vids. if the rest of the album is actually as creepy & surprising as that short video, The Downward Spiral, or parts of The Fragile, then i'll be happy.
