[hippygeek]

Zane Lowe is interviewing Trent in 40 minutes. A friend in the UK just gave me the heads up.

You can listen to the live feed here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_one)

[DVYDRNS]

wtf. is. this. music. selection...

[Scarlet Siren]

I was just thinking the same thing.


Thanks for the heads up hippygeek

[bigbadjesus]

Well I'm listening. 1 minute in and no Trent. WHERES TRENT.

[simonn]

Sounds like Zane's just come on, so maybe the 7pm was just the time his show started?

[ManBurning]

wow, I might have to turn this stream off and just watch this thread for when Trent comes on... This crap is hurting my ears...

[bigbadjesus]

How much of this crap do I have to sit through :(

[DVYDRNS]

the dumbass wont STFU... is this what the DJ's in London do? Vamp over the music? ON THE RADIO? or is it just this asshole?

[jessamineny]

Oh, now I remember how this works. Sit through two hours of shitty music and endless teases for finally a two-minute interview. ffffffssss

[Reaps]

Let's jack instead..

[Trains]

Listening now, Jesus. Spare me.

[simonn]

He hasn't even mentioned the interview yet has he? Though he did tweet about it a couple of hours ago....maybe Trent's finally realised ZL is too much of a cock and f*cked him off.

[mostlymad]

[SaintNoir]

Funny to see complaints about the new NIN from some folks... after listening to this grossness for 10 minutes... come on people. Hurry interview.

[sentient02970]

This guy...god. I hope he can interview.

[Reznor2112]

At least we get some Queens before...

[vivisection13]

Sounds like another 10 minutes.

[GavinCollins420]

Slight redemption with this track. Favourite off of ...Like Clockwork.

[Reznor2112]

What was the band that played before Queens, he said they sounded like a younger Tool?

[botley]

LOL at "Under My Thumb" comparison (guess who's seeing the Stones AGAIN tonight :P )

[Scarlet Siren]

For the love of God.... hurry up! LOL!

[Amaro]

When I hear "a few minutes" I take it literally...motherfucker...

[Trains]

This man is an absolute tool.

[GavinCollins420]

Wasn't this song on a second ago?

[sentient02970]

soon folks, soon...

[Amaro]

I've got shit to do...one being sitting here listening to Trent's voice communicate interesting information... Come on now...

[Reznor2112]

ear we go...

[botley]

TR: "It's exciting. Weird."

[Amaro]

I like the part where he said it was the hardest record to finish, haha...oh yeah, really slave over the details...that worked well in the past!

[ManBurning]

is it over? Can I turn this annoying music off now? lol

[Amaro]

I hope so...because I shut it off.

[Scarlet Siren]

I think that's it...

[sacrifice_me]

It's done. Sounded like it was pre-recorded. Very general interview. Dry questions, dry answers. Needs to be better next time with some true grit and a punch in the gut.

[witte]

1. this interview was taped, not live
2. nothing about the visuals live shows eu versus us
3. nothing about the live band (read: adrian belew)
4. nice to hear trent talk about nin
thank you

[bigbadjesus]

I harassed that interviewer on twitter.

[ManBurning]

Yeah, nothing new was really mentioned here. Was hoping when he was asked "who in the right mind would put themselves through that tortue" (on the rehearsals) Trent was going to tell us about who was actually STILL in the lineup, and maybe some of the trouble he's had keeping members, or some kind of answer on what happened to Adrian Belew.

[sacrifice_me]

No need to harass the interviewer, at least he got TR on for a spot.

[Amaro]

...you mean TR opened a spot for the interviewer...

[JessicaSarahS]

No need to harass the interviewer, at least he got TR on for a spot.

Exactly. Leave Zane alone!

[Wretchedest]

Did he say anything interesting/of substance about the new album?

[jessamineny]

That it's the most time he's spent intensively working on a project since The Fragile.

[SaintNoir]

That it's the most time he's spent intensively working on a project since The Fragile.

Yeah, that was about the only statement that wasn't already "known." Going to be a fun 3 months!

Cracking up reading you folks' take on zane Lowe. I stopped listening to radio 1 years and years ago and even then he was the last dj I could still tolerate. Welcome to the state of UK radio!

[Vertigo]

I'm surprised more people don't know who he is. He's probably been Trent's most prolific audio interviewer for the last few years.


:edit: Wait, "surprised more people don't know who he is"? That sounds like a "could care less" style item of grammatical dumbassery. Please pretend I said something logical and intelligent.

[slave2thewage]

I avoided the day Zane Lowe was in the place where I study last month, lest I would've told him to choke on a dildo.

Would've been nice to get some solid info on the lineup.

[echoespaul]

He's been on Zane's show a few times to discuss new releases. Seems to work for both of them.

[scorpiusdiamond]

Don't slate Zane entirely, he's done some kick ass stuff for QOTSA.

[LenaMHJBKZ2]

Thanks for sharing the recording!!

[howdidislipinto]

I was as irritated by some of the antics as the rest of you (I had no idea DJs talk over the middle of songs now) but if you think even 1% of the people who happened to hear that interview care about the particulars of the current NIN live lineup, you're nuts. Expecting a DJ to ask that question is ridiculous.

Lowe hinted that the interview was much more in-depth (or at least longer) though, so I'm sure we'll hear some interesting details eventually.

[dlb]

And Trent basically promised Zane another Media Vale session when he's in the UK? Cool stuff!

[cynicmuse]

And Trent basically promised Zane another Media Vale session when he's in the UK? Cool stuff!
Yeah. That would be excellent.

[Frozen Beach]

I'm really not getting the hostility toward Zane Lowe. I always thought he was a pretty cool guy. My favorite interviews he's ever done though have usually been with Damon Albarn.

[jaypayton]

Zane was the guy who had Morrissey do a sit down for 40 minutes and kissed his ass the entire time

[thefragile_jake]

Here's my recording:

http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/95389946/file.html

Oh crap, I love how the beginning of this audio clip starts off with a song called "Blood" by the Middle East. Great band, great song....now time to listen to Trent talk...

[jmtd]

Zane also suggested he's heard more of the album, said that it was very electronic, very drum-machine driven.

[sentient02970]

I thought the interview was pretty great despite the irritating DJ mess before it started.
