Random NIN Thoughts

[hobochic]

I had no idea about this. An early Elliott Smith track was "dissing" NIN.

The YouTube link in there is dead, but you can see the title.

Hah, cool, I love Elliott.
Here's a working video:

[The Reason Being]

This is probably old news but this picture has been popping up all over the place lately, irritating because I'm 99% sure they did this on purpose?

[Maurish]

Yeah, the one taking the photo must have been very lucky because the BSOD picture pops up for like a millisecond. Or the picture is actually taken from a video which would make more sense.
Anyway, check around 2:04 here.

[jessamineny]

If I remember correctly, the photo was taken by razzletiger here on ETS

Did you know..


that the current vocal of Negură Bunget (currently touring in US & Canada) is part of a Nine Inch Nails cover band which was featured on TOIOU at one point?
Here are some recordings of one of their tribute concerts: http://www.no3.ro/2011/05/video-nine...ings-club.html

That's so cool! I love Negură Bunget. Virstele Pamintului was beautiful.

Well, the last post on nin.com that actually was about NIN and not X project that Trent is working was november...

[Ryan]

Trent, update nin.com pls.

[gorast]

How do you update a site when there's literally nothing to post or base an update around, though?

He could post "soon..."
He doesn't need to have anything ready to say or give us, since "soon" has no real time frame. As long as he'll have something eventually, he won't be lying.

[acidpolly]

yes Trent srsly if you won't update nin.com you are not getting your birthday wishes the day after tomorrow!

oh my god oh my god oh my god.
i put TFA on and all of a sudden i think i hear those small but menacing opening loops of “somewhat damaged”. well, slight variations thereof. but “somewhat. fucking. damaged”? in “slipping. fucking. away”?
oh my god. it's so simple but it had evaded me this long?

keywords: jaw, floor, picking up, O_o

[carpenoctem]

trant pls

I don't know why but this makes me laugh hysterically...

[Frozen Beach]

Listening to PBTHAL vinyl rip of The Fragile. Definitely the best way to hear the vinyl version of The Fragile if you don't have a nice turntable.

[seasonsinthesky]

^ shit. i saw that earlier but didn't realize it was a pbthal job. gonna get my hands on that now.

How do you update a site when there's literally nothing to post or base an update around, though?

Didn't Trent say in the Digg interview or somewhere 'give people a reason to keep visiting your site' hmm, not living by his own advice

[fillow]

just post a new live video or something.

[acidpolly]

yeah like video of signing those 3000 copies for example.

[Ryan]

I love Trent. Even though I've seen him live 7 times and never met him.

And seen Gary Numan 3 times and met him twice.

And seen Peter Hook once and met him once.

And saw New Order twice and met them once.

TRENT, Y U SO HARD TO FIND? Stop being so short and maybe I won't have such a hard time. ololol

[icklekitty]

I misread this and went running to nin.com

Trent updating his site? Haha.


Trent's in parenthood limbo and there will be no NIN news for about ten to fifteen years – and when it comes, it will say "soon".

Seems like Digg could really use that advice too.

Semi-Trent/NIN related:
I've just finshed listening to Niggy Tardust for the first time in like 6-7 months, fuck me it's brilliant. Saul's lyrics and Trent's sonic destruction are perfect together.
And is it just me or did the lyrics of tr(n)igger predict and respond to OWS well before it's inception?

[MAD]

...Right... So I finally noticed this.

Year Zero is Blue - Year Zero Remixed is Orange
Broken is Orange - Fixed is Blue

Funny thing, it's almost the same color.
