Random NIN Thoughts

[Dimitri.]

1. Branches / Bones
2. Dear World,
3. Less Than
4. This Isn't the Place
5. Not Anymore
6. The Idea of You
7. The Lovers
8. She's Gone Away
9. Burning Bright (Field on Fire)
10. The Background World

In that order, it's probably my favorite NIN record since The Fragile.

I also made a playlist to listen to this new songs as if they were a full album. Mine goes like this. This EP series might be one of my favourites NIN releases ever.

1- Branches / Bones
2- Dear World,
3- Less Than
4- She's Gone Away
5- The Lovers
6- The Idea Of You
7- Burning Bright (Field On Fire)
8- This Isn't The Place
9- Not Anymore
10- The Background World

So, presumably those guys are stand-ins for what would be Trent and Atticus? What does NIN need an ad campaign for?

The photographer's brand is Year Zero, coincidence https://www.instagram.com/yearzerophotography/

What the fuck?

It is the formula for the third e.p.
That meathead was a clever fucker, eh?

[Kulerage]

he's going to do 30-40 shows a year starting next year. That's something to look forward to!

For how many years, though, because holy shit!

Getting behind the EP since way before it was even a thing.

I hope I'm not alone on this, but I actually got some Depeche Mode vibes from The Lovers, and some Killing Joke vibes from Not Anymore.

I also don't know why I didn't get to this a lot sooner, but the visuals used in the Burning Bright (Field on Fire) video also remind me of the ending of Closure with The Art of Self Destruction, Part 1.

I guess indefinitely. Trent in the interview(s) said he doesn't want to tour for 2 years at a time then disappear for years. Instead, he wants to tour consistently every year with a small number of shows (30-40 a year was his estimation). That way he can balance personal family life and still remain active every year touring.

I was on a little Jubilee kick last week and now a bunch of it is stuck in my head. Edit: the kick continues...

Clive Barker has apparently made a NIN inspired comic for Heavy Metal magazine. Issue #287 (has 3 different covers). Info here. Available to order here.

Does every past issue drop to $2.50 each? If so..I'm waiting.

I have no idea. If so, I just fuct up. Just grabbed all 3 issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Andrew McMahon who's performing live at Panorama just talked about NIN. He said something along the lines of "Great to be here. Can't believe I'm doing this before fucking Nine Inch Nails! I can't talk about it, or I'll piss my pants." Then went into the next song.

This is a great performance at the Panorama NYC Festival.

[Halo Infinity]

Even though I missed it, my highlight for the end of this weekend was catching Hurt being performed at Panorama on Yahoo when after Trent Reznor sung, "I am still right here.", somebody from the audience screamed right back at him, "Yeah! You are!"

My only regret was missing it. I just had no idea that it was actually going to be streamed. Had I've known, I would've watched it from start to finish. (I suppose YouTube will do anyway.) And well. I've actually always liked Yahoo, but this just adds a little bit more reason for me to appreciate it.

[sentient]

I thought it was one of the very best performances of that song.

[PhoenixML]

I love Copy of A, but I'm unable to enjoy the studio version, only the live version (with real drums)

[dvdglss]

Aaron North?

Can hope... dude was so talented...

Look..I dunno 4 or 5 posts before yours. :-)

Honestly I think I had a tab with the thread open for a long g while. I honestly didn't see those posts.

I'm really curious to see what songs are played at tonight's Webster Hall show.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say the full 2 EPs

Knowing what Copy Of A sounds like, "Dear World," would have lots of potential

Year Zero is ten years old.
That makes me feel old AF.
I mean, I saw NIN in the womb so it's been a part of my life forever...
But shit.

Since there have been two musical acts (Chromatics and Au Revoir Simone) in Twin Peaks that have had two performances in separate episodes, what do you think the chances are of NIN having another performance on the show with six episodes left to go?

Turns out the only songs of note we got were Somewhat Damaged, Sanctified, She's Gone Away, Less Than, The Lovers, Burning Bright, The Loop Closes & to a much much less extent (much much less)...1,000,000 (can you tell I don't like this song?).

[ManBurning]

If you had to pick between this or Discipline to represent the token live song to be played from "The Slip" Which would you choose?

I certainly would not pick Discipline, that's for sure.

[ManBurning]

Whoa, I never really noticed it until looking at this photo, but Alessandro has gained a lot of weight over the years.

And for some reason, Trent is like the Tom Cruise of the music industry. The guy does not seem to age! In fact, I think he looks younger now! At least by looking at the Bakersfield "mug shot" photo.

Oh, I did this as well, like a week ago or so.
Mine was:

Branches/Bones
Dear World,
The lovers
Less Than
She's gone away
This isn't the place
The idea of you
Not anymore
Burning bright
The background world

[ManBurning]

Demon Fucking Seed.

Haha, well yeah... that's a no-brainer. But that will never become a live staple as long as we live.
Notice how he ALWAYS skips out on the best song live from every record?

Sunspots, AATCHB, Demon Seed...

Are these songs really the best, or are we just sick of all the other songs being played that these seem like they are the best because they aren't played as often?
I personally think the above 3 would make my top 5 NIN song's list. The Perfect Drug would be on there as well. As for a 5th, that would take some time. But those 4 are hands down in my top 5 list. Interesting how none of them have been played live though. Hmmm...
