A megamix by soulwax is currently playing on the Colin Murray show on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. This is a mix of 100+ song intros. It's pretty cleverly done. I just heard "closer".

I don't spend that much time trying to figure out that puzzle. One of my friends is Rick Rubin and he lives around the corner from me. Every now and then I get into talks with him about what's happening in that world because he's much more involved and he's trying to figure it out. I'd rather put my energy towards music itself. It is interesting and it's wild to see it changing in our lifetime. I think there is always going to be inspired music and there are always going to be inspired listeners and there is always going to be an inspired method of getting it from A to B. I really don't know what it is and I really don't even care that much, but my mind is totally open to contemplating something completely different and new than as we knew it in the past. But I'm not worried about being the guy who invents the most unique and dynamic method of distributing music. I figure that's going to work itself out.

Yep, that's Trent's job.
A lame spotting that made my morning:
I was woken up by someone talking on Couleur3 (the only remotely cool radio station around) about how Trent was giving away his music for free. Although they didn't play any of the new songs (or of the older ones, for that matter), they talked quite a bit about Ghosts and The Slip and Trent's new methods of distribution.
It's not much but it's so rare to have NIN mentioned on the radio here that it was enough to brighten up my morning.

Every now and then, when i'm not injecting myself with ozone, I get into talks with him about what's happening in that world because he's much more involved and he's trying to figure it out, while i'm just trying to figure out why i'm so damn cool.

I figure that's going to work itself out. Just like 8 track tapes did. Dude.

As silly as it sounds, NIN was actually a clue/answer in Thursday, May 15th's crossword in one of the local free newspapers in and around the GTA (24 Hours). It was 5 down, clue: _____ Inch Nails
Even sillier is the fact that while my sister was doing her own copy before I did mine, she snickered and told me there was a question I was totally going to get right away, and the first thing I said out loud was "Nine Inch Nails?"....not really expecting that to be the case.

I like this version of last.fm charts more (although all those charts are lame anyway):
http://playground.last.fm/topchart/tracks
This most frequent top 10 chart is computed by counting how often a track occurs in a scrobblers top 10 tracks every week.
off: what I don't get is why the hell that dull Death Cab for Cutie is on top

Haha, total WIN!
I just had a weird NIN (ish) spotting. I was playing Guitar Hero 3 online and joined a random game to find that my opponent's name was very similar to Trent Reznor (one different letter).
I thought it was funny. I rarely see gamer IDs that have familiar refferences to me. Most have to do with 420 and Halo 3 both of which I care little about (unless combined ;-P).

Not sure if it's been posted yet, Audiosurf's (the game) update news from May 5th (just a minor spotting):
Quote:
We're also proud to present a couple rockin songs from Terry Bogus--will it sound too blasphemous if we say that the lead singer's voice reminds us a bit of Trent Reznor? Well--maybe if Trent had grown up in the Netherlands. As Americans, we imagine there's only so much angst you can have being from the Netherlands, but these boys have got it and we're likin it.

I'm kinda hoping you meant to say average iq here - although that bear in "Gentle Ben" was pretty clever.

Not really a NIN spotting, but ...what the hell does this person mean by "Trent's Earth Family"? Is that a standard term in genealogy?

Sorry. Too obscure. I was channelling Yogi Bear. It's his catch phrase.
Anyway, i just meant that I thought we, collectively, were a smarter than average group of people. Or maybe we're just intellectually pretentious.
i have something special for you.
i could get my hands on an interview of trent from a radio station. they did that on 30th of march 2007, on the day he played his second vienna show (after 29th of march 2007). i asked the radio-station, if they would send it to me.. and they did! the whole raw-version of it!
at the beginning he is asked if he wants coffee :]
have fun (it starts about 20s in the file...):

Not too obscure at all - my little brain just wasn't working in that direction.
The space reserved in it for cartoons appears to be too full of Stewie and Brian to allow a Yogi reference to register.
