    www.nin.wiki helps with the lyrics :P

    i had to go three different places (tried perfect drug versions because one version has the original song, tried the lost highway soundtrack because that's where it originally appeared, and then i finally went to the we're in this together single) before i found a clickable version of the song (and was thus able to get to the page with lyrics). that seems a bit silly, no?

    It tends to be that the wiki only has one link to a page, and it's not always the most sensible place. But there's a search bar!

    The link for the TPD song page is the first link on the TPD Versions page and the fifth link on the LH soundtrack page. Are you saying you visually scanned past the introductory text to the track listings to try to find them?

    I remember people complaining about that, because, when thinking sensibly, a track list should have clickable links. I get the "one link for a thing" rule, but at least put them in the track list. It's really annoying.

    ...Should I mention that in the NINWiki thread? It's bothered me for years.

    I just spent about a day re-ripping every CD in my NIN collection into 320kbps mp3. Figured I may as well upgrade from 128kbps at some point.

    BUT DID YOU USE LAME 3.98.4 TO ENCODE THE MP3s?!? AND PROPERLY CONFIGURE EAC v1.0 TO RIP THE CDs FIRST???!!!

    IF NOT, YOUR DAY WAS WASTED. TRY AGAIN.

    I didn't see a BRMC thread, and I figured that what I was going to post had a relevance to NIN fans anyway, so:

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club announced the release of their new DVD, titled "Live In Paris". They announced it yesterday, February 17th. The concert happened last year, on Februray 24th. That means a year between performance and DVD announcement. The set itself will come out in May.


    If memory serves me right, the last concert that NIN taped took place in August, right? Well, this is just another one of those "there's still hope" posts. I know Bill will come over here and shit all over it, but it's still too soon to dismiss this NIN DVD set as something that's not happening.

    I went through a couple of years ago and fixed that issue on the major halos, but I've gone through and done some work on the other halos now.

    Here's what is likely to be the first print promotion for PHM from the cover of Billboard magazine September 9, 1989:

    Wow, I didn't think they experimented with glitch art until the With Teeth era.

    ^ my wife loves that song. one of her college roommates would put it on every time before going out to a bar so as to pump himself up and get ready for his evening on the town. it's pretty great.

    I am blown away. I just decided to give Year Zero another listen after years of disregarding it. I was 17 when I last listened to the album, but at the time I didn't pay attention to sound the way I do now; no attention to room tones or reverbs, delays, eq, noise and ambience, drum sounds vs samples... I also was turned off by the political message in Year Zero because I felt that I knew nothing of politics or what was going on in the world. I felt I couldn't understand it. Plus Mr. Capital G was someone I never studied but everyone else just new he was an asshole. I was always like, hm, he is eh?

    Now, after gone through the whole album, the sounds and the message, the amount of personality and style in the music; it's simply fascinating to me. Now I'm just fantasizing Trent in some movie or real life Apocalypse and I can just see him as this hardened street smart man trying to help people out in life or death situations; intimidating and angry on the outside but caring and helpful on the inside. I can just imagine the music as an epic anthem to the times.

    Man, did I ever miss out I mean I'm 21 now and I started listening to NIN when I was 15. And that alternate reality game.... Holy shit man what the fuck was that all about?

    Hey, am I the only person that thinks that NIN comes very close to music we hear in our dreams? What I mean is, the immense amount of subtlety in the sound, the variation, things sneaking up on you or sounds flashing and bouncing off of Trent's voice and moving around. Like shit I seriously feel like sometimes, NIN is just dreamy. lol. I mean just creamy. No, I mean just like a fantasty. Yeah, like a fantasy.

    Maybe it's because sometimes I hear NIN in my dreams, and often the music is just full of mystery; changing and morphing in front of my eyes, but never in a way that I can completely follow and comprehend.

    One time I had this dream I was watching TV, and the screen goes totally white with noise, and I know it's like an MTV music video or something, and slowely, I begin to realize an image of Trent Reznor, face down on a pure white background; a large pool of blood beneath him. I believe the scene was accompanied by a drone of noise and such. That was a really kool dream. Who wants to hear more Trent Reznor dreams from me?

    There's a thread for that already, go crazy http://www.echoingthesound.org/commu...nt-NIN-in-them

    (also you can edit your posts so that you can put all of your things in one thread, rather than posting three times)

    I just thought it was nice to see that you appreciate Year Zero a lot more now. It's also one of my most favorite albums that came out after The Fragile, and as I've also mentioned in the Nine Inch Nails dream thread, I've also had dreams of NIN as well. I've even dreamed a bit about being in Closure and And All That Could Have Been (Live).

    It's also been a while since I've given Purest Feeling a proper listen, and I just love it, especially the way the drums and guitars build up on and off each other. I can't imagine having Purest Feeling not getting me sold and hooked on NIN should it have been my introduction to NIN. I also thought that this particular YouTube URL of Purest Feeling would've been worth sharing.

    I only just now realized that Atticus is English and speaks with an accent.
