Awesome

Trent Reznor and his compatriots in NIN are really pioneering digital distribution of music. They've decided that they don't need no stinkin' record company in order to get their music into the hands of their fans, HOORAY!

This post on NIN's web site shows how they have generated a KML file (that's a Google Earth Layer BTW) that allows you to see the location and quantities of downloads of their latest album, The Slip. Now think about how important that information must be to a band, it would allow them to know where the greatest concentration of fans are and plan their live shows accordingly. just think that's cool.
