How do you earn a buck after releasing your album for free online? Tours, tours, and more tours! Use that mailing list for the CD and bring out the masses! That’s Saul Williams plan at least. He announced several dates this morning for his project Niggy Tardust. Starting at SXSW and hitting up almost every city in America, Williams will be showing the world for the first time his co-produced by Trent Reznor, kind of strange Goth, Political, Philosophy hip hop masterpiece.

If it is worth the ticket price to see remains a question, but I have lost all faith and interest in hip hop shows as of late, so I am not one to judge nicely. Here are the places he is hitting up:
