I hope playing acoustic guitar medleys is an optional feature in the game? Otherwise I’m not buying it. I can’t bear acoustic guitar troubadours, it’s a real pet peeve

Not really sure how this is legal or if it even counts as a spotting, but this online store is selling tons of album art/band logo related clothing in a variety of avaliable colors, and NIN just so happens to be included.

Zero chance those are licensed.

They're all print on demand, which I'm not a fan of. I stopped doing Teespring because I was not happy with how the shirts held up to repeated washing. I have shirts from the 90s that look better than a couple of the ETS shirts I did as print on demand. The last few I did were with Cotton Bureau and were proper ink/silkscreen, but it was a fight to get them not to fuck that up, after they fucked up the first batch.

This has probably been posted already, but I just came across it:

This is old, but at the end of this 1999 VMAs pre show interview with Aaliyah, she says she’s a huge fan of NIN. I’d heard about this, but never saw her actually saying it

Can't speak for their recent work, but I have a shirt from 2013 from these guys that is still in great shape and has outlasted many official pieces of merch.

I'm only 10 minutes into this 2016 BBC documentary and they've already played two clips of NIN songs. (Warning edit: There's some real life death and gore in this if you'd rather avoid seeing it)

Adam Curtis tends to use NIN a lot. Also lots of Aphex, Burial, Clint Mansell. His documentaries are essential viewing for understanding the world we live in today. Hypernormalisation is extraordinary. I also recommend 'The Century of the Self' and 'All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace'. All have lots of NIN, used brilliantly.
It's worth checking out this interview with him on Adam Buxton's podcast (weirdly one of the guys who introduced NIN at Glastonbury a few posts above). Curtis speaks of Right Where It Belongs being one of his favourite ever songs towards the end of the episode. http://adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/ep44-adam-curtis.

I'm trying to find some Weeknd/Kanye/NIN stage comparisons but I'm only getting clickbait. Has anyone found any side-by-sides?

I haven't found side-by-sides, but there's pictures for The Weeknd and NIN on leroybennett.com
This is from The Weeknd's The Madness Tour (2015):

Josh Freese remembering LITS. Is this video from AVOTT?

Yep.

Oh dang, that really does look like a NIN set. In fact, it looks like several different NIN sets sort of smashed together.
It makes you wonder how that happens; does the designer just reuse previous concepts without discussing it with artists? Or does the artist get to flip through a portfolio of work and pick something that somebody else has already done?
Active Member
it's a new mash-up... it won't be to everyone's liking.... I dig it.

Mike Shinoda mentions NIN fandom (he’s another contender for inducting NIN into RRHOF in my opinion
Another podcast for Watchmen promotion.

I'm sure it became, "Oh, you did 'x' event? I'd love for our set to be that + 'y'". It seems like it probably started out much more innocently, with someone on the crew making a suggestion based on a show they saw or worked.
The Lady Gaga tour in question was the Born This Way Ball, but I haven't looked through enough pictures to see what the fuss is about.
Here's U2:

Like any kind of artist, the guy probably has a portfolio or a demo reel that includes photos and video of all their best productions, which would undoubtedly include NIN. Any graphic designer would know that when pitching concepts to a client, they often like to take their two favorites and bash them together with a shovel (whether they go together or not), making a Frankenstein's monster comprised of mishmashed parts of both. Either that, or the visual artist who designed the stage setups has a somewhat limited bag of tricks to draw from (though I believe the former to be the case).

Out of interest, regarding the Emmy awards, in the category ‘music supervision’ the Watchmen episode with the nostalgia flashbacks is put forward, (that contains The Way it Used to Be), but also the Black Mirror episode with On a Roll (although both under the name of the person supervising the musical choice!)
https://www.emmys.com/sites/default/...on-2020-v1.pdf
Also The Way it Used to Be has been put forward in the category ‘outstanding music & lyrics’, just under the category ‘music’
https://www.emmys.com/sites/default/...ic-2020-v1.pdf
Sorry, should add that the score for the first episode is nominated generally under Limited Series - for some reason they seem to nominate individual episodes rather than an overall thing, which I suppose makes sense inthe context of TV with lots of episodes
Dispatches From Elsewhere was also put forward

Love-in for Finck and "31 Ghosts IV" happening on Josh Freese's instagram throwback to 2008 (JMJ chimes in on the comments, too).
