Shipping cost inside the U.S. is stupid as well.

The Hard Times: Uncovered Diaries Reveal Johnny Cash Was Initially Planning to Cover “Closer”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Recently discovered diaries from the late country music legend Johnny Cash show he was first hoping to record a rendition of Nine Inch Nails’ provocative single “Closer” instead of “Hurt,” sources confirmed.
“This is a truly stunning development,” said Johnny Cash Museum representative Tasha Elridge about the diaries, which have been authenticated and were donated anonymously by a relative of Cash. “While Johnny’s rendition of ‘Hurt’ stands as one of his greatest achievements in a career full of them, this chapter in his story has now been forever altered by the knowledge that he was first outlining a version of the song arguably best known for the ‘I wanna fuck you like an animal’ line. In fact, ‘Hurt’ to appeared to be his fourth choice after ‘Head Like a Hole’ and ‘March of the Pigs.’ Almost like he never even wanted to cover ‘Hurt’ in the first place.”
Further confirmation regarding the validity of the diary entries, dated between May and August 1997, was given by Nine Inch Nails founding member Trent Reznor.
“I thought it’d be best to keep this to myself. But now the cat’s out of the bag,” said Reznor. “Johnny reached out to me about how he’d been working out a version ‘Closer’ on a Martin DX. He even played a little for it over the phone when we were on the ‘Fragility’ tour. Even over the crackly landline static, you could tell it was something special. And he understood that just because it’s a song that references sex, that doesn’t make it a ‘sex song.’ I really wish we could’ve gotten a proper version. Instead, Maroon 5 covered it, which made me regret ever writing it.”
Though Cash’s cover of “Closer” remains unrealized and unrecorded, many have offered speculation about it and the impact it would presumably have.
“Based on available data we have regarding Johnny Cash covers of Nine Inch Nails songs we can safely assume that his take on ‘Closer’ would be fraught with the same end-of-life solemnity as ‘Hurt.’ Though perhaps not,” said associate Pitchfork editor Adam Balsewicz. “After all, he did that little known cover of Baha Men’s ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ that was even more rowdy than the original just before he passed. That man was a total enigma.”
At press time, the subsequent discovery of S&M clothing and paraphernalia by Cash’s estate indicated he was also planning to recreate the song’s video.

Finally watching the show, and just wanted to point out that they also used a portion of Feedback Loop near the end of Episode 6 and briefly at the beginning of Episode 9.

NIN prominently featured on the front page of https://setlist.fm today with a Lollapalooza '91 retrospective article that's pretty thorough (though as of this morning there was a typo saying the last tour was 2020, not 2022 — now corrected).

Wow, that was a great mini-doco/time capsule of the era; talk about memories of my youth...BTW When they asked Rollins how he prepared to deal with the heat, I was expecting him to answer: "I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain...I will use my mistakes against you...There's no other choice..."

Like millions of other folks, I’ve been obsessed with Barbenheimer as of late: largely because of memes, obviously, but also because the dichotomy poses intriguing questions about how we contextualize and compare blockbuster films, up to and including their music. Barbie’s soundtrack is pretty self-explanatory, a collection of radio-friendly (read: sometimes mind-bumblingly safe) pop songs curated and produced by Mark Ronson; in stark contrast, Ludwig Göransson’s Oppenheimer score serves a more pragmatic purpose, driving home the story’s immense stakes through tightly controlled dynamics and complex orchestral arrangements. Basically, the former’s a dopamine buffet that doesn’t expect listeners to have seen the original flick, though it certainly helps; the latter expects familiarity with, or at least respect for, the source material on the listener’s part. These approaches are by no mutually exclusive, but they rarely, if ever, overlap, which is what makes Reznor & Atticus Ross’ score for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem so compelling: it’s a stellar collection of short form tracks that perfectly encapsulate franchise’s badass cyberpunk spirit. I haven’t seen the movie yet — it came out yesterday, after all — so I can’t speak definitively to how the viewing experience factors into the soundtrack’s success on a broader level. Nevertheless, I can say that “Do You Need A Veterinarian?” and “I Just Met You and You Almost Killed Me” slap, bound to enthrall Nine Inch Nails diehards, industrial snobs, goths, synthwave nerds, ’80s kids, and — thanks to the minimal, NES-styled synths driving standouts such as “Attack On a Titan”— even chiptune heads. Seth Rogen, who starred in, wrote, and produced the movie, described Reznor and Ross’ work as “incredible.” Is he biased? Definitely. Is his assessment correct nevertheless? You bet. It’s a whole damn double feature. Just don’t forget the pizza, dudes.

A friend of mine recently had Richard Patrick on his podcast (my friend isn't on this episode but he set the interview up) and Trent/NIN came up quite a bit in the conversation so I wanted to share it here in case anyone is interested

Looks like the upcoming 4K edition of Natural Born Killers will reinstate Burn into the actual film. Apparently it was included in the original theatrical release and early video releases, but was replaced with different music at some point.
Active Member
Yeah, the other version was the director's cut. Had yet another Leonard Cohen song over the credits.
Throbbing Member
Couple of mentions of Trent in this video on the Donkey Kong Country underwater level theme song.
Stubby Member
The Leonard Cohen music is the same in all released versions. No changes there. Burn was only used briefly in the last scene and that is the only thing that was changed in the director's cut, and then for the Theatrical version in later Blu-ray releases (but there for the initial VHS and Laserdisc releases). Burn never played over the credits. So now Burn has been re-instated in the Theatrical version, and will be in the director's cut for the first time ever on the upcoming 4K/Blu-ray release.

Still not clear to me whether it's just a snippet or the full song
Stubby Member
A short snippet while shots of 1994 criminals flash on the screen. The only reason they are making a big deal about this brief Burn excerpt is that they received tons of e-mails about it because the Blu-ray of NBK had replaced it with another snippet of random drums. It's never been the whole song.
Active Member
The VHS of the Director's Cut used to include the Burn music video as a bonus feature and at first, I was hoping that meant the music video would be included again (on both discs), but yeah, I think what they're saying is both cuts now use the "original" ending with Burn as seen in this video:
So yeah, unfortunately just a snippet. I'm glad they've restored this ending in the Director's Cut (it was probably the only thing better about the theatrical cut). It would be nice to have the music video in high quality as a bonus feature, but I guess there's always YouTube/Vimeo.
