Well it depends what he paid for it when he bought, based on the article it appears he made about $500k in equity, that definitely aint too shabby for any state. But if it was Cali or NY he would have probably tripled his money.

My fault for not checking, but MuchMusic played "The Hand That Feeds" around 6PM. Hilarious enough, they played after Sum 41's "Pieces", which is exactly how it goes on my WinAmp playlist. Spooky.
Months ago when the London dates were announced, I decided I didn't have enough money to travel to England to see them, but as it turns out, now I probably could have afforded it, so instead I've spent a bored night sitting in my bedroom pouting, and following links from links from links to pass the time, and ended up finding this and this on some girl's blog. She was at a dress rehearsal last week and then hanging out with some of the band it seems.

Wooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YAY REZNOR YOU DA MAN!!!! God DAMN! (Course, subtract the rehab costs and that giant broker's commission ...)
(Achamoth: I've NEVER seen anybody "double" the sale price of a residential property, unless it was a total piece of shit when they bought it, and *especially* not at that bracket. Ten years isn't THAT long. Sale price depends on the value of comparable properties in the entire area. If these reported figures are correct, Reznor's supposed $500,000 gross is a 39% increase. For that bracket and area, that's pretty good. Mine's in a lower bracket, but it's gone up 69% in 7 years. Hee hee.)

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes at this:

Rob's not in the band, but he's been working closely with them for several years. Plus, he's a celebrity on MySpace and that's kind of the same thing.
I'm rolling my eyes at the MySpace bit, mind you, not the working closely part.

I believe the $500,000 was the amount he cleared after renovation expenses and realtor fees. He only paid $500,000 for the house in 1994.
Did the person who wrote that article get ahold of the RESPA?? How do you know he paid a half a mil for it?

I just know.
Well, if he bought it for a half a mil, then he netted a half a mil on the sale... um... hmmm...
This has probably been posted before, but I couldn't find it in search and didn't relish checking through 29 pages to be sure *lazy*. Nothing new.. at least I don't think so anyway.
Every sales transaction can be verified by the county's records

Dude! Awesome, man. Trent-y. When/where'd you meet him?
achamoth wrote:
Yes please, whole story! Did you just run into him on the streets of London?
actually we met him outside his hotel. we were just coming in to meet my girlfriend's parents for a meal & it turns out these guys were staying at the same hotel.
the actual events were simply to unreal & too long to relate in full here but for what it's worth -
we met trent, jeordie, rob sheridan, leo, jerome & saw aaron but didn't speak to him. being a designer & admirer of his work i made a special note of saying hey to rob. i think he was taken aback that someone said anything to him given that all the focus was pretty much on trent.
anyways my girlfriend spoke to trent for a bit & then introduced him to me. we got autographs from jeordie & trent & leo took our photo on my camera.
trust me when i say we had no idea they were gonna be there & that i could barely even breathe let alone talk. fortunately someone took my camera off me & it ended up in leo's hands for that shot otherwise i'd just be telling you the story & you might not be believing me at all.
anyways, they shot off to a bar as they'd just landed & were jet-lagged / exhausted as fuck. alternatively jerome dillon actually went off to a crowded house show & we bumped into him again later after our meal. we had a really cool chat with him in the hotel bar for a while - he actually came over to speak to us as he recognised us from earlier.
all in all it was just too perfect for words & since we've been in & out of the hotel for various reasons over the past day or so we've seen quite a lot of trent & the guys ...
what can i say ?
more than i ever imagined would ever happen to me in my life
& above all - such a pleasure to meet them all & find out they were such damn nice guys.
fuckin' a.

This ad is being run on myspace. Not really news or anything important but a spotting nonetheless.
I dont know if anyone has posted anything about this cuz it might take all night to read 29 pages of post. But i live in san diego and goup to Hollywood bout every weekend and there are tons of posters plastered everywhere thruout hollywood and west hollywood. I tryed to take one home with me but it ripped =(
Trent is on the front cover of Kerrang! this week and there is a big 5 page interview with him which is the most intresting one i have read yet.he also calls Coutney Love a cunt and more!....
This is just a snippet from the Kerrang article:
Certainly the man who greets us this morning in a cavernous but unassuming photography studio deep in the wilds of California outwardly exudes health and calm – skin tanned, muscles bulging, eyes bright and sharp. Trent Reznor has never been a man tongue-tied in the face of a journalist’s tape recorder, but the candour and eloquence of his revelations – regarding five years of change, relocation, trauma, and realisation – is startling. And he hardly hesitates to share them. Within seconds of a simple opening question, he’s telling all with nary a twitch.
The solutions began as ‘The Fragile’ tour wound down; the problems began much earlier.
“I reached a point in my life where I had to get my shit together, figure out that there was a human being that was being neglected,” he muses, sipping a black coffee in an impersonal side-room. “There was a persona that had run its course. I needed to get my priorities straight, my head screwed on. Instead of always working, I took a couple of years off, just to figure out who I was and working out if I wanted to keep doing this or not. I had become a terrible addict; I needed to get my shit together, figure out what had happened.
“I always thought that I was pretty average when it came to drinking and everything else,” he continues, unflinchingly. “We toured ‘The Downward Spiral’ a real long time, nobody had a house, we just stayed on tour. And it was great, but when the tour ended I went straight into doing the ‘Antichrist…’ record with Manson, and pretty soon I realised I get fucked up a lot. Pretty much every day I got fucked up. But I was functioning.
“I didn’t realise at the time, but that was the beginning of a pretty intense struggle; it was impacting upon my life. I was drinking, but a few drinks in me and if someone suggested getting some cocaine it would seem like a fantastic idea… it still seemed like a great idea 24 hours later, picking through the grains of the carpet looking for more (laughs). After a while I realised I wasn’t in control. The price wasn’t just feeling bad the next day; I was starting to hate myself. That led to a path of fucking around with it, procrastinating, until I decided there was a decision to be made, which was either to get better or to die.”
He pauses, just for a moment.
“And, unexpectedly, my life’s been exponentially better since then. It was four years ago, and it’s led to a series of changes, a shake-up in the longest relationship I’ve ever had in my life with my best friend, the manager I started off with. I realised, with my new-found sense of clarity, that we didn’t have a healthy relationship.
“And my moving from New Orleans to California…” he explains. “I got tired of being ‘out of the loop’, I guess. I have a tendency to isolate myself. What attracted me to New Orleans was that it was like living on a different planet. You were left alone. If you enjoyed ‘leaving the planet’, too; it was a good place to be.”
The next step was a course in psychotherapy.
“Because I though, ‘What the fuck, whatever it takes’. My way sure wasn’t working. I always though I was smart, that I could ‘lick’ anything because I’m smart enough to work anything out. It’s been a very humbling learning experience, of being right in the gutter – it’s one thing to talk about hitting the bottom, to flirt with it, this romantic notion of a dark side. Embracing it and getting really deep into it? I don’t ever wanna go there again. I’ve been there, and it was not good.”
For Nine Inch Nails’ artistic landscape, that ‘dark side’ has always been there. It informs Reznor’s every lyric, his flirtations with it, his panicked and disgusted recoil from it. Maybe it’s an obsession; he knows he’s drawn to it, but he can’t shake the suspicion that it stalks him too.
“Like recording ‘The Downward Spiral’ in the Manson House,” he laughs. “We didn’t go searching for that house, it crept up on us. We chose it only because it was the best location, and when the facts came out we just thought, ‘well, that’s an interesting piece of weird Americana we just inhabited’. I never dreamed I’d still be talking about it with journalists 10 years later. When we left the house they were tearing it down, so I had the front door shipped to my studio in New Orleans, which, out of pure necessity, had been a funeral home 10 years before. It makes for the dream press-pack, I know,” he grins wryly. “But that was never our conscious intention.”
Nevertheless, he takes great relish in relaying this next macabre chapter in the NIN storybook; further proof for Reznor that The Dark Side is pursuing him and not just the other way around.
“I recently closed my Nothing studios in New Orleans, and Alan Moulder brought the mixing console on which we recorded a number of projects – it’s the best desk he’s ever used,” grins Reznor. The guy who re-assembled it at Alan’s studio made an interesting discovery though. These huge circuit boards are usually constructed by one guy, and the guy who originally built this was an obsessive/compulsive, which isn’t good in life but is apparently great if you have to wire up 96 channels of sound for a recording studio. Anyways, one day this guy goes into the woods and kills his girlfriend with a circuit board tool. And the guy who was re-assembling this desk discovered the word c**t etched into one of the chips.”
This is the second time Reznor has uttered the word c**t in the interview. The first was in reference to a little lyrical investigation, an idle musing on the appearance of the word love in two of the album’s song titles, particularly the vituperative ‘Love Is Not Enough’, and the question of whether either song was written about fleeting ex-paramour Courtney Love.
“I would never…” he snaps back. “ She doesn’t bother me enough to make me write a song that has anything to do with that c**t. No.”
Even if their targets are veiled, the lyrics to ‘With Teeth’ – speaking with the wisdom of Reznor’s recent revelations – are prime NIN. Unlike previous albums, which were written with a concept in mind, Reznor feels ‘With Teeth’ works simply as an album of, “13 songs that are friends with each other”. There are themes however.
“After I got clean it felt like I’d landed on a different planet somehow. It looks the same, kinda, but everything is different,” he explains. “Learning lessons from listening to people, realising the humbling truth that I don’t know everything and that my way isn’t necessarily the best way. The idea was for the record to start from a place of panic and fear and gradually find a sense of acceptance. It’s a difficult journey that begins with a nightmare, the nightmare of what I was going through.
"Shortly after I got clean 9/11 happened,” he sighs, tackling another key influence. “It feels like we’re in this weird police state now. The government isn’t telling us the truth, fear is now being pumped into our homes as a great motivator to just do what you’re told.”

Not much of a siting, but I thought I would mention it...
On http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/01/05/itunes_drm_cracked_wide_open/ , top left corner it says "biting the hand that feeds". Seems like a NIN reference, since I was looking up more about iTunes to possible get thtf.
