Looks like an alternate Gift edit.

[blassster]

Anyone know WTF this is? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1964445/?mode=desktop)

It has two trailers linked from the page, in the description it states "It's a film by Melike Amjarv of NIN concert, edited, de-interlaced, and color corrected together from 405 gigs of amateur HD footage, available for downloads at the bands web-page."

It's just another edit of The Gift footage, but someone made an IMDB page for it.

[ninjaw]

and a very bad one, here's the third clip https://vimeo.com/25574771
as there is no infos on both vimeo and youtube, I gues it's not another "edit" but ... two songs

Just stumbled upon this article. Not cool. . .

[screwdriver]

In the new Electronic Musician (Jack White on the cover), they have an article called "The Electronic Musician Hall of Fame," which details key people, events, and technologies that shaped electronic music. Trent Reznor is on the list as a "Cutting-Edge Musician." There's a few paragraphs nicely summing up his career.

[Max Leo]

Music in the video.

[zoomoon]

I was in Washington, D.C. recently, at the National Museum of American History. There was an exhibit on technology through the ages, and in one case they showcased the evolution of audio players: a record player, a walkman, and then an iPod. Lo and behold, the cassette tape in the walkman was...Pretty Hate Machine.

Trent Reznor Made Alt-Rock's Last Stand With The Fragile (The AV Club) (http://www.avclub.com/articles/trent-reznor-made-altrocks-last-stand-with-the-fra,82235/)

Best quote from the comments section...


Bob Dylan Thomas Dolby Digital (http://www.avclub.com/users/bob-dylan-thomas-dolby-digital,80579/)
...the very limited and repetitive vocabulary (toss the words "I," "you," "decay," "hate," "whole," "pain," and "fuck" together and you'll likely win a round of NINGO), I've been irked by "the path we have chose [sic]." What, did "we both chose" or "that we chose" not fit?

[Torgo]

Pretty sure this is the COD track you guys are looking for:

[DigitalChaos]

he plays just about everything
After watching the trailer and noticing the obvious link to the "Kony 2012" retardation (who used NIN music in their viral video), I have to wonder if Trent got a slight bit of vindication from doing the music on this.

Dude rambling on about how The Fragile was the last stand of Alt-Rock and comparing it's development to Scorcese and Taxi Driver.

[The Reason Being]

Was just watching Deadmau5's live stream and he was just sitting there listening to Year Zero saying nothing. I got bored at Survivalism and turned it off haha.i

EDIT: Scratch that, I guess he was looking for a song to remix. He's currently remixing Survivalism while streaming, pretty cool.

http://live.deadmau5.com/

[TheBang]

EDIT: Scratch that, I guess he was looking for a song to remix. He's currently remixing Survivalism while streaming, pretty cool.
I just so happened to stumble upon this. I saw only part of the first hour. From what I saw, I gather that he was mostly testing and assembling the remix elements.

I started recording during the second hour. It was a 720p stream, so the file is massive.

He got sidetracked, but starts noodling with the Survivalism remix again at about 1:21 point. He starts creating basically a 25-minute Survivalism jam from the 1:36 mark until the end of the stream.

http://minus.com/lOg87HwSUn49Y

The FLV file is really jacked up because it's a live stream rip. Most FLV players fail on it miserably. I recommend downloading the 715 MB file, rather than watching it on that webpage. VLC's the only player I've found so far that works somewhat well with it. Seeking and random access are going to be spotty in the file.

Side note: This is my first time using Minus for file sharing. From what I've seen so far, it's pretty impressive, so I may have to look into it further. If you want to sign up for it, use my referral link, http://min.us/rffZyaN, and we'll both earn an additional 1 GB of space.

I can't remember, or find a pic, but I swear it was one of the Mass Effect games that had an easteregg of the AIR flag somewhere. Now this is going to bug the shit out of me...

I was watching the documentary Six Degrees of Helter Skelter last night and they showed what is allegedly the only existing footage from inside the Tate residence. This footage was shot by either Trent or someone from the NIN camp while they were setting up the studio. I was wondering if anyone saw the entire footage in question and if it's available somewhere? TIA

There is a fuckload of footage from inside there (the Gave Up video for example), so I'm not sure what it would reference.

BTW, that documentary is probably more bullshit than a whole farm of cows all shitting on each other in some sick cow scat orgy. Take it as a (poor) mockumentary and nothing more.

[Deepvoid]

It was mildly entertaining.

Loved "Manson" from 1973.

Hmm...I did not know that Atticus Ross had a sister, Liberty Ross, who is married to the "Snow White and the Huntman" director who just had an affair with Kristen Stewart. There you go. Glad that neither Trent nor Atticus are in "People" magazine, however...oh, Hollywood.

Said director was the director for The Space In Between, so he probably won't reprise the role for future HTDA videos.

Wow, saw the Clouser interview just now. While I don't know much about synths and the making of electronic music this was a great interview Nice to see him talk and ramble on for so long. I acutally really miss him in the NIN camp right now. He should have had a go on some song at the farewell shows. But at least Danny was invited. :)

[NotoriousTIMP]

Am I the only one who was kinda put off by the interviewers in that video with Clouser? It was like they wouldn't let him finish his stories before moving onto the next question. I ended the video with 17min left because it became so frustrating to listen to...

[Torgo]

On reddit, there's a thread discussing the fact that Trent was flattered by Cash's cover of 'Hurt,' (http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/xi0pg/til_trent_reznor_was_flattered_when_johnny_cash) and this particular story made me laugh pretty hard:



Here's a true story.This song came out the day I had my wisdom teeth removed. I had come home and gone to bed, as the drugs had just completely floored me. I finally started to come to about 2 AM and started to hear this opening progression that I recognized (i had left my tv on). When I heard the lyrics, I was like, "cool. I love this song."

When I finally was able to look at the screen, somewhere through that wall of painkillers, I wasn't able to discern that it was Johnny Cash. Outside of any real logic that could take place, the only thing my mind could put together was that I'd slept for 50 years, and this was Trent Reznor performing his own music as an old man who was preparing to die.

I sort of freaked out and called a bunch of people, and no one was answering because of how late it was, and this was in an era that people didn't have their cell phones on them 24-7 (strange, right?). Still to this day, I'm tortured by the voicemails I left my friends. "What year is it? What happened to you? Why aren't you answering?!"

TL;DR Took vicodin, thought I time-travelled thanks to Johnny Cash.

[jessamineny]

That totally sounds like a Sesquipedalism story.

Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) has a stereotypical angsty teen character with NIN on his shirt in his latest game review video (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/6104-The-Amazing-Spider-Man). On for about a second at 1:09.

[trollmanen]

Came across this today:

http://psychicteensnetwork.bandcamp.com/album/halo

A covers EP from Psychic Teens, free download, of 5 tracks from TDS, Broken and PHM. It's all one take stuff with a somewhat punk angle. Not the worse covers of NIN I've heard. There are some good moments, they could probably take one and really nail it down in the studio and it'd sound really nice.

[fakdoo]

A REALLY obscure spotting, but this old rejected script for Freddy vs Jason (http://www.maddogmovies.com/almost/scripts/freddyvsjason_briggs.htm) features a character called Jack Reznor.
About 1/4 of the way in,


It was a dream...a weird nightmare. A GROUP of BLACK YOUTHS are standing of to one side, incongruously playing a "NIN" song LOUDLY on their boom-box.

[Highly Psychological]

In this months MOJO magazine, with David Bowie on the cover, they have a definitive list of their 50 best Electronic albums of all time.

The Downward Spiral is in there, the list is quite well done, and spans from 1956-2012.
Downward Spiral is 1 of 5 electronic records they chose from the 1990s along with Air, Aphex Twin, and The KLF. Considering how many electronica records came out that decade that's real priase. Other artists such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Throbbing Gristle, Donna Summer, Brian Eno are in the list too, its well thought out.
MOJO does not do lists too often. And its critics are usually really good writers. Its also biggest selling music magazine in UK and Europe so its a nice compliment.

[Jumprof]

I love this pic... maybe even more than the one used for the album cover. The subtle smirk is great. Also, note the nipples. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5hpsrmakn1r3dthwo1_1280.jpg This picture is great. A pic with breasts and penis would be funny too

Some dude at TYT praises Radiohead for their In Rainbows stunt and says "Trent Reznor got screwed when he tried to follow in their [Radiohead] footsteps".

I can cross my eyes and focus on the middle image.

I'm just reading my way through this at the moment http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/james+swallow/fear+to+tread/8683407/ (indulging in some Sci-fi nerdom). I knew the author was a bit of a fan of Trent because he tweeted while writing the book that he was listening to The Social Network Soundtrack but what did I come across about way the way through the book but a reference to a 'Captain Reznor' described as having 'a hawkish face framed by long black hair' ...coincidence I think not. Also possibly the weirdest little cameo Trent has had in a while.

[wizfan]

There was a similar "appearance" of Trent in Joe Hill's (Stephen King's son) Heart-Shaped Box. The main character of the book actually meets Trent in a flashback.

I wonder if that was some sort of pre-show ritual for awhile.

[sick among the pure]

I wonder if that was some sort of pre-show ritual for awhile.


I remember an interview where a band member (pretty sure Trent) mentioned being nervous as fuck before going on stage for Woodstock. Someone threw some mud at someone else, and a huge mud fight broke out among all of them. After that, they were all relaxed and ready for a great show.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

It's nothing big, but I noticed Trent was in the "Thanks" section for Black Light Burn's new album. Not like it means anything, since he's not credited with anything technical, but I always wondered how the relationship was between Trent and Wes, or if there ever was one.

[wizfan]

Wes said once that Trent gave him some very helpful advice when he was making Cruel Melody.

Also, from Borland's last.fm page:

At some point in 2004 as well, Borland was reportedly offered to join Nine Inch Nails as the band’s guitarist, replacing Robin Finck who left Nine Inch Nails yet again for Guns N’ Roses. Borland stated he wrote some material with Trent Reznor, but that the material is still unreleased. It is possible that this is due to the fact that he turned down the offer to officially join Nine Inch Nails to rejoin Limp Bizkit but isn’t confirmed by either Borland or the Nine Inch Nails crew.

In August 2004 or around, Wes Borland rejoined Limp Bizkit. Borland reportedly had to see for himself if he still was at odds with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst before he officially joined Nine Inch Nails as the guitarist. They met one day and realized that they weren’t at odds with each other anymore, so Borland turned down the invitation to join Nine Inch Nails without friction from Trent Reznor, and Wes began writing with Limp Bizkit again.

Man, it makes me wonder what could have been. Maybe sometime in the future they'll work something out again. Maybe not, but eh, I like to speculate. It'd be great just to hear how some of that unreleased material sounded, though.

He also left Manson to rejoin LB. (http://www.mansonwiki.com/wiki/Wes_Borland)

Manson has criticized Borland's departure, confessing that "We almost made the mistake of having Wes play guitar but he re-joined Limp Bizkit. That move forever eradicated my feelings on his choices in life as an artist." When asked why he thinks Borland returned to Limp Bizkit, Manson said: "That is what I find myself asking when I urinate sometimes. He said he would never go back. If the reason is money, then I'd rather roll up a $5 note and shove it up my urethra. I'd rather set my dick on fire than join something that I hated."

In his defense, Borland retorted that "I wrote nine songs to be submitted to the Manson record and none of them made it. I was really in hired gun land there, but was sort of being told that I wasn't. So when I figured that whole thing out, I knew I was never going to get an inch into that band [...] but it's the Marilyn Manson show over there — Limp Bizkit is more of a band."

[BenAkenobi]

Isn't this

I was really in hired gun land there, but was sort of being told that I wasn't. So when I figured that whole thing out, I knew I was never going to get an inch into that band
exactly his reason to refuse to join nin as well, because

it's the Marilyn Manson Trent Reznor show over there — Limp Bizkit is more of a band.
?

[fillow]

Isn't this
exactly his reason to refuse to join nin as well, because


There is a difference, I think. With NIN, he probably knew from the start that this is gonna be just the live band. With MM, he went into studio to write stuff only to get it rejected (if it's true).

[Shnoorum]

But even then I'd be ashamed to have been credited for anything on a Limp Bizkit album. If I was in the band I'd atleast of liked to have been able to say Fred Durst made me do it, it wasn't my fault!

[wizfan]

Wes himself said that Fred met him in a room and convinced him to re-join LB. I remember back in 2009, I think, when he rejoined LB after his brief stint on MM, the band had covered "Hurt" and Durst gave an absolutely terrible performance. Wes then publicly apologized to NIN fans via Twitter: "I'm terribly sorry, I had no idea it would go south like that..."

I found this comment necessary to make, so I wrote it, pressed post, got reminded to lengthen my post, so I did.

Oh shit. I actually have a NIN-spotting to make.

I went to see this documentary called "The other F-word" today at the Gothenburg International Film Festival.
It's about punk musicians who've adapted their lives to parenting. Loved it. Well, half way through the film Josh Freese shows up with his little kids throwing diapers in the backyard. Check it out if you can, Duane Peters from the U.S. Bombs' story is pretty heartbreaking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZkWHZ3hJtY

I actually JUST saw this. There are a few shots of Freese drumming for NIN and he mentions why he left (not enough time with his family)

Great documentary, loved it!

He writes:

"At least NIN and their heavy-duty arena crew were nice to us and that whole tour, despite [sic] the rock and roll posturing horseshit was a cake walk compared to the next band we did a big wheel "arena" tour with, which was White Zombie..."

[SM Rollinger]

I read that too, i live in Sioux Falls, but i was 11 at the time, so yea i was waaaay to young. I dint get into NIN until like 1997, blows my mind to think my favorite band played here!! I did get to see Tool play the shit hole arena in 2002, though. So that kinda makes up for it. But still tho :(

Agreed. It suits most perfectly.
Not really NIN spotting, but there was a poster for West Indian Girl stuck to a window - near the start of the same movie (Cabin in the Woods).

I stumbled across the following "interesting" article regarding Buzz from The Melvins' tour experiences with White Zombie and........our beloved NIN.

Music is subjective, but its hard to like the guy after reading what he says about NIN.

King Buzzo on a long rant about NIN.

Except that links directly to the post, not the copy & pastery of theprp. On your point of whether or not you like him after what he said... it's all perspective I think. He makes a pretty good point about smashing shit, and I'm sure if you ask Trent today, he'd say basically the same thing. Extrapolating smashing shit on tour to having helicoptering parents is kind of weird, but as far as being 'heavily sheltered' - Trent grew up in western PA in the 70s. He's said himself, there wasn't a whole lot going on out there.

The 'synth crap' line isn't all that unusual for a west coast guitar player. Look at the liner notes of Rage Against the Machine's Battle of Los Angeles - "There are no synthesizers on this record." Whoop-de-doo!

[dlb]

haven't seen this before, but it sure is a cool thing of Trent to do:

also, king buzzo can be a total prick, but he's a great musician. Melvins are awesome (and actually use synths quite a lot, despite being a guitar band).

You saw nothing! I got a little bit mixed up in my post, sorry about that :)

[DVYDRNS]

I was more referring to the general tone of the blog post. He just sounds hateful instead of thankful that some pretty big bands decided to take them on the road with them.

[hobochic]

Buzzo's stories often have to be experienced live or on video. His dry sense of humor and deadpan anecdotes are often misunderstood, and when you think about what he's actually saying ($30,000 worth of damage to a brand new arena dressing room or Zombie trash talking), well, he's actually kinda telling the truth huh? Plus, why the hell should he be "thankful" in an interview 16 years later, how lame would a thankful interview have been? Buzzo's often been outspoken and humorously "bitter".

Look at the liner notes of Rage Against the Machine's Battle of Los Angeles - "There are no synthesizers on this record." Whoop-de-doo!
An old tradition, going back to the first seven Queen albums... because critics would hear Brian May's guitar sounds and mistake them for synths (which has also happened to Tom Morello) they put that text on the sleeves.

I've always thought it's kind of cute how people feel a need to clarify what is real and what is synthesized on their recordings. Like the "extra real drums" on Broken (which are probably the only "real" drums on the whole CD).

[sheepdean]

Actually, Queen did use synthesisers, they just liked to fuck with people

[konstantin]

Elite Gymnastics' James Brooks lists a NIN show as one of his favorite. The guy actually often mentions NIN and has stated that he wants his next album to mean to people what Pretty Hate Machine meant to him.

So, this is random & awesome & unexpected (and I just tweeted it at @ninhotline in case they hadn't heard yet).

Apparently Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio, Maximum Balloon) just started a label called Federal Prism and the first release is a 12" Picture disc from Telepathe* of their song "Destroyer" (which I believe is the title track from their upcoming sophomore album). The b-side is a remix of that track from Trent/Atticus/Alessandro. Awesome?? Check it out:

http://federalprism.com/



*I've been waiting on a new LP from Telepathe since they released "Throw Away This" (http://rcrdlbl.com/2011/06/07/download_telepathe_throw_away_this), and the other samples they've released (http://soundcloud.com/telepathe) are just as promising. Hoping this means Destroyer's release is imminent!

[Leviathant]

I'd love to buy the digital release without dropping $25 on vinyl I don't care about.

[Deadpool]

I'd love to buy the digital release without dropping $25 on vinyl I don't care about.

Tell me about it. I'm so poor I can't even entertain the idea of buying the vinyl.

I know Atticus has individually remixed Telepathe before (I'm sure sheepdean has link for that on his FYAR tumblr), but this has to be the first time these 3 gents have collaborated on a remix. They all do fine work on their own, so this ought to be pretty cool. When was the last time there was a remix by Nine Inch Nails or Trent Reznor? There was the Zoo Station cover, but that was very much a cover.

I remember this, too. I guess we finally know what he was up to! That, and I wouldn't be surprised if he twiddled a few knobs for the new Destroy Angels EP (or LP) - and *fingers crossed* has remix of them waiting to be released.

And here's "Destroyer" in its non-remixed form (http://soundcloud.com/fadermedia/telepathe-destroyer). Should still be a free d/l!

[sheepdean]

Well, vinyl+shipping is $42, which is a fucking lot of money for a single, even if I do like all artists involved. I might have to go whore myself out or something...

yeah, what he said. I'm a fan of Dave Sitek, and obviously of Trent, and I will be happy to support what looks like a cool new indie label in the future, but there's no way I'm paying 25$ not including shipping for a single from a band i never heard about before today.

Anyone want to confirm or agree with me that this song is sampling Right Where it Belongs V1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9-PMmfjHyo

[DigitalChaos]

yup
The piano bit is sped up a bit and distorted. It also uses the distorted bass line with Trent's vocals in it. Other than the minimal drum beat, it's entirely pieces from the end of Right Where it Belongs.

So hypothetically, if Trent was ever like..."yo, that song is using my song" he could sue? Because that song is on iTunes?

I don't know how sampling works but why is he allowed to make money off of that? Unless of course the rights were cleared for the sample. 1st Round Records is Sam Adams (that Boston rapper kid) and I think he's big label affiliated.

[sheepdean]

Trent has a FUCK load of samples in his music, mostly on PHM, TDS and Ghosts. I doubt he's going to sue because one crappy song sampled him - hell, he may have given consent

How much of NIN's music has been used on trailers? I don't know how much control Trent has over the Interscope related stuff really... probably not a lot if the Lights In The Sky video was shut down so easily.

I'm not an expert, but I believe that he stopped using so many samples because of how expensive had become to use them in the early/mid 90s.

If I remember well, he complained about how expensive was to use the sampler from "Fire" in "Lunchbox", and how he mostly wouldn't use samples anymore on his next albums beacuse of this ("The Fragile", "With Teeth" or "YZ" don't have as many samples as "PHM" or "TDS" afaik, and I remember when he explained how using a Public Enemy's sample in a Saul Williams song had cost them almost 10.000$). I would assume that these days he barely uses samples except if they are free, really cheap or essential for a song (bioshock/youtube sampler, Hussein sampler, Mothman sampler, etc).

I also remember how he said that he didn't mind if someone used a sample from one of his songs, but how it also depended of how much was used, because if somebody used a lot of "Down In It" (he cited this particular song) for a rap song with a guy just talking shit above his music, it would be very different to just using some sampled noise or something like that. I don't remember where I read all of these things, but I guess that it was in the articles section from The NIN Hotline.

My guess is that these days he wouldn't ask for money if he really liked the artist sampling his music or if the artist was a friend, but otherwise he should ask for money the same way he has to pay if he wants to use a sampler from someone else. 25 years ago the use of samplers was very different, this is why he used many more samples in the past.

[DigitalChaos]

Haha nice catch! Busted it seems. I actually know Yonas on a somewhat acquaintance level (did some vocal referencing/writing for a little through the producer of his last LP). I tweeted at him out of excitement because I'm a huge NIN nerd and get excited whenever I know someone who likes NIN but didn't get a confirmation on whether it was the sample or not (clearly it is).

I didn't post on the youtube video, I'd be interested to see if it was an ETS member though.

I assume one of those posts is an ETS member since it was similar my original reply to R-Dot-Young. If so, can you confirm?



That was an ETS member who posted that comment on youtube - I only know this because he was one of the guys who donated to TOIOU.



Yep, that was definitely me that had posted that. DigitalChaos, I had essentially used your comment, since that's all that really needed to be said about it!

[R-Dot-Yung]

The first comment was also an ETS member who connected to me via facebook. He was a member of the old ETS but still lurks here now.

I was just being extra sure that the original poster didn't delete their own comment.
That confirms it... kinda shitty of this Yonas guy to scrub references to a song he sampled for the foundation of his song.

On Sunday, October 21, 2012, on Ovation (http://ovationtv.com/), episode 106 of "Song By Song" will air, titled "Johnny Cash: Hurt". Synopsis:

"One of Cash's final and most unlikely hits, this painful ballad was written and first performed by superstar Trent Reznor; the Nine Inch Nails front man explains why he was reluctant to allow Johnny to record the song."

not a terrible list but certainly not what i would consider my top 10.

and @vertigo is right, the fragile was not really a "commercial" success. MAYBE starfuckers could crack that top 10, but thats about it.

I think The Fragile would be better as an album if it had at least one or two really strong "single material" track. Singles are not always a bad thing. Closer being so ridiculously catchy is something that sort of holds TDS together better. The second disc of Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness wouldn't be that awesome if it weren't for 1979 - arguably its biggest single - being there.

[bobbie solo]

wait, Sevendust didn't write Hurt?

I think WITT is one of NIN's best singles, and Starfuckers was also really catchy and a good single too, even Into The Void was a good single.

The problem (commercially) for The Fragile was that it was a double album full of instrumental and too experimental songs compared to the stuff that was popular back then when nu-metal, poppy boy bands and teenage singers had taken control of the music media. The Downward Spiral would have never been a success if it had been released 5 years before or 5 years later, it succeeded because "alternative rock" was popular then, otherwise I doubt it would have sold so many copies.

We should probably move this to a thread where we discuss where Trent got all his songs from. It's like the inverse of this thread. I think it's about time the NIN comes to term with it. I mean seriously, have none of you hear Godsmack's Time Bomb?

Trent and the Byrne?

Trent and the Byrne?

Maybe if it was a partial day and early. He has a concert in SF tonight, and two hours ago Michael Zapruder said on Twitter that he just saw Byrne on 19th Street.

Gary Numan maybe? It was in the pipeline...

Gary Numan has just moved to Los Angeles as well

[sheepdean]

I'm guessing it's the guy who invented Coke Zero

[scorpiusdiamond]

*facepalm*
It's not Byrne, and it's someone he doubts we'll guess... so probably not Numan.

[BRoswell]

Can't really get excited about this given Trent's track record of working with people and the music eventually not being released.

Adam Ant, Dr Dre, Peter Murphy, Tapeworm, Zach de la Rocha, 12 Rounds... did I miss anyone?

David Bowie? Honestly though, it really doesn't matter since whatever it is won't see the light of day.

[blassster]

My first guess was Bowie, but with his follow up tweet I'm now guessing Lou Reed for some reason.

Edit: or John Carpenter

Would be amazing if it was Tom Waits but i don't think Reznor has ever professed any heroship from him :\

A journalist friend of mine told me a couple of weeks ago that Gary Numan (who he'd just interviewed in relation to The Officers) was about to fly to LA to work with Trent on (I think he said) soundtrack work.

He could have been bullshitting me, but I thought I'd contribute.

[Fixer808]

Gary Numan, fly to LA, work Trent, on, ndtrac
If this doesn't come true I'm holding you personally responsible.

Neil Young?

maybe he meant atticus ross

Mariqueen also posted 'So excited' while retweeting Trents message, so makes me wonder whether this might be the final 2% of HTDA...but hoping for a joint Numan/Reznor soundtrack song (just one, so as not to get in the way of new NIN...)

https://twitter.com/mariqueen/status/257988278056271873

[botley]

Numan & his family just moved to LA, not specifically to work with Reznor but I know that was something they were already trying to do. A joint Numan/HTDA tour would cause me to shit my pants.

[allegro]

"I doubt you'll guess this one" doesn't suggest Numan, since he's one of the first ones everybody here guessed?

Zombie Claude Debussy.

Didn't he say this same thing several months ago? This all seems like déjà vu.

"I doubt you'll guess this one".

KNEW IT. Motherfucker (Nick) caved and is finally duetting with Kylie.

David Lynch has been making music with Karen O and Moby. Trent/HTDA's not far away from that lineup...

Well, we know The Bug is on the EP or LP, and it's quite possible Ally is too, so there being guest musicians wouldn't be crazy - I just kinda wish he wouldn't pricktease us about things that [probably] aren't set in stone.

[dominik]

TR just wrote this on Facebook:

Some of you may have read that I have begun working with Beats By Dre (http://www.facebook.com/beatsbydre). For the past year I have indeed been involved with Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Luke Wood, and the rest of the team on a number of very interesting projects that will start to emerge next year. I have been wanting to experiment and focus my energy and creativity in some different directions, and Beats has afforded me that very opportunity. The process has been challenging and fascinating and as much as I'd like to tell you about the things we've dreamed up... I just can't.
Not yet...
(I can tell you it's probably not what you're expecting!)

[R-Dot-Yung]

Trent has been working with Beats by Dr. Dre...

I HATE Beats by Dr. Dre

[dominik]

trent has been working with beats by dr. Dre...

but did he just write that he made music together with Dr. Dre

[sheepdean]

Ohhh, I get it - The Fragile deluxe, played on the most fragile headphones ever made. It's meta.

[sheepdean]

He's made music with Dre before - when he did the work on The Fragile, they also made some music that has never seen the light of day.

Just a couple tweets earlier in the year when he said he's making music for HTDA - this could've been before they decided to do EP2, so don't know which release it will be on. http://fuckyeahatticusross.tumblr.com/tagged/the+bug

[Andrew]

on the Beats thing, I didn't get it because thought Dre was out (http://www.nme.com/news/dr-dre--2/58628)
but I missed this one where apparently he is back in (http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2012/07/25/htc-forgets-about-dre).
So there's that.

Reznor and NIN was name dropped quite a few times in this article.

Deconbrio brings Nine Inch Nails-inspired industrial sounds to Walloween

Trent Reznor may be busy remaking Led Zeppelin songs these days, but that doesn’t mean the industrial brand of metal he pioneered with Nine Inch Nails is considered passé.
Not locally, at least. Thanks to Danny Rendo and his band, Deconbrio, industrial is alive and well and headed to this weekend’s Walloween festival at The Thirsty Turtle Pub in Maryville. On a path that took him from Florida to the West Coast to East Tennessee, Rendo has taken inspiration from Reznor’s music and turned it into his own project.

I watched this tonight and despite that description, there was no Trent Reznor explaining anything. They showed a super old PHM era picture and mentioned him a few times. Also, Ben Folds seems to think cash's cover is Trent's greatest accomplishment.

No, Topspin is based out of Los Angeles, IIRC - I imagine the bankrupt UK distributor was related specifically to TGWTDT:DE

Saw a trailer for Red Dawn this weekend, and playing over it was a fairly heavily distorted version of The Wretched. Between that, The Avengers, and Terminator Salvation, that's three big movies that have used TF tracks in their respective trailers. Pretty damn sweet.

Thanks for the offer and the tip. I'll see if I can find that. I'm sure someone's ripped it somewhere. :)

My dismay was more about the content description for the song by song episode. It made it seem like Trent was interviewed for the show and that he would be featured prominently. There were a slew of songwriters that talked about Cash and the song but none of them are credited in the episode description. It was just weird.

I think he might be referring to the Dragon Tattoo debacle with Sandbag. If I remember correctly, Topspin actually had to step in and take over because Sandbag didn't know what the fuck they were doing.

(pretty sure it was Sandbag; that was a while ago so i'm not 100% on that)
