^ That's what I've been thinkin', too...thanks for doing all that legwork!

On a related note, I've got a pal on suicide watch all of a sudden and have to skip out for a couple hours right now to go help. I made a bunch of requests and dedications and left potential questions on that hotline last night and it would be MASSIVELY appreciated if anyone out there could record the episode for me somehow! I'll find SOME way to make it worth your while, I promise!

:-\

[Hazekiah]

So...I guess I haven't missed it yet then?

My pal's okay and I left just in time to hear "The Dope Show," but nothing much else of note has happened yet, right?

Well, I'm listening now anyway.

:)


EDIT: So did I miss something earlier? I only heard the last hour-and-a-half or so but I'm worried they might've pulled the same shit again and simply mentioned him at the end of the episode, lol.

I did get to hear them promote Manson's appearance with Rammstein and the release date of Born Villain at least, I guess.

[somewhatdamaged]

I started listening to XL last night right at 9 pm (CST) on the Abliene, TX station (from website). They played some song, then introduced Trent, then asked if he read the Dragon Tattoo book and scoring. He gave an answer that we all heard a million times. The DJ then played Closer, then I think System of a Down. I couldn't take it anymore, so I turned it off. It seemed to be pre-recorder stuff.

Thats disappointing. I understand giving interviews your going to repeat stuff (interviewer and interviewee) but can't some interviewers do SOME research if they're getting talent on the show? Come on, "did you read TGWTDT" and more questions about scoring? Its been covered ad nauseam as of late. I understand this is the case with TR, or any famous person for that matter, you'll get repeat question after repeat question, but come on, you dont have to search hard to find out he has a new album coming out! Plus with the lack of interviews as of late, why wouldn't you jump at the chance to have some "breaking" news?

Ugh, sorry just venting.

[NIN64]

likely a canned interview recorded 3 months ago. . .

[Hazekiah]

Well, not a peep about Trent Reznor yet tonight but they just started playing "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" so at least it's all worthwhile already.

EDIT: And it was the uncensored album version, no less!!! And then they mentioned Trent Reznor coming up later, played some other shit, and then "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Just keeping you updated.

Haha, they just had a commercial on the local station where this local franchisee started pimping himself out and he started with "Hi, I'M RANDY HERPEL, OWNER OF LUBEMASTER AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU..." and I didn't hear the rest 'cause I was too busy LOLLING about as loud as I ever have in my entire goddamned life.

Ahh, good show tonight.

Oh, jebus, I just heard it again. Their slogan is actually, "Where we treat YOURS like it was OURS," lol. And ZOMFG his satisfied customer who's a female nurse assures us that, "IN BETWEEN 'normal' maintenance, Lube Master goes ABOVE AND BEYOND," ahahahahaha.

[Hazekiah]

So they just did the 30 second "Featured Artist" thing with Trent Reznor, and it was definitely a "canned interview," lol.

I don't remember the question that probably wasn't asked anyway, but Trent talked about how preparing the music for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so early in the process gave Fincher and his editors the freedom to try different ways to edit around it but that it was more challenging for Trent and Atticus because afterward they had to write final music for scenes which had already had 5 pieces of music laid over them, and then how they'd made music like set dressing which would fit in the world Fincher was making before they had to go back and make it work.

Or something like that.

Then the host mentioned later that one of his favorite bits of NIN trivia is that The Downward Spiral was recorded in the Tate mansion and that Reznor didn't know which house it was when he bought it, but then took the door when they were going to tear the place down and that now it's the door to the studio in New Orleans.

Do we even know for sure if that's still true? Just made me wonder.

Anyway, the host mentioned there's more Trent coming up on tomorrow's show.

[emptydesk]

you are very annoying

[Hazekiah]

You're welcome.

[Amaro]

you are very annoying

Hey...mother...fucker.

[ManBurning]

you are very annoying

You think this is bad? You should see his posts in the Marilyn Manson thread. Bold size 20 font screaming and yelling in the middle of the page.

At least these posts are informative, who wants to sit there listening to a radio station for a week just to see if they are actually going to keep their word and have Trent on. This station seems to be run by monkeys from what I am reading here.

[MAD]

Thanks Hazekiah.

[TheBang]

So, basically, the "interview" consists of 30 second snippets spread out over the week, covering questions and topics that have been retread a million times. Is that about it?

[botley]

That sounds so famil— ohhhh... *NOW* I remember what radio is.

Hey not bad, I hope they ask him how he got the name Nine Inch Nails. Ive been waiting for that one to be explained forever.

[Leviathant]

Ugh. You know how this board won't let you post if your post consists of less than ten characters? I'm totally looking into code preventing single-image replies. We can do better than that.

Are you able to make exceptions for certain threads, especially those in SYM like Random Stupidity, N&V, Hot people, etc.?

[botley]

Auto-redirect to 4chan maybe?

[ItsJustDave]

While it certainly seems like the prize wasn't quite worth the chase this time around, I appreciate the effort Hazekiah has put into this. Everything pointed to this being a decent lead and if it had been a revealing interview providing new information, everyone would be begging for an audio recording.

Case in point, the following items would not likely be in circulation now if some particularly unlikely leads weren't chased:

• Night of Nothing, Irving Plaza live video
• Closer (behind the scenes footage)
• WITT (Mark Pellington Edit) music video
• Into The Void (Walter Stern Edit) music video
• Last (Butch Vig remix)

So thanks for putting the time in.

[Hazekiah]

^ Thanks for the support! I'd hate to have simply passed the info along and put it off on everyone else to follow-up on it. Especially since it's so many hours of listening each night! And it was nice to be able to provide a bit of a scoop for everyone, even such as it was. Glad to help in any way I can.

Plus, I'm old enough that I still remember the days when it was a big deal to hear a random single from NIN hit the airwaves, let alone pieces of an actual interview! Different times, I guess. Hell, I used to scour the binders of order forms for upcoming releases every time I dropped in a music store just in case they were cranking out another single or e.p. somewhere or something, and even watched the Grammy Awards start-to-finish just in case Trent Reznor was there only to see the announcement of his winning for "Wish" scroll by in text at the end of the show. And I was still excited just for that!

I know it's all a bit more of a "gimme" now, but it's still worth tuning in to check...you never know.

Anyway, last night they played another interview snippet on "Hard Drive."

This time he talked about "Immigrant Song" specifically, mentioning that David Fincher approached him with idea of doing that song in the first place, also suggesting female vocals for the track. Reznor then pointed out that he's learned not to immediately turn down ideas so he started down the long road of getting to a finished song purely out of trust in Fincher, not knowing then whether it would be for the end credits or opening titles or what, and at the end of it he had a great song he never would have embarked upon on his own, so we should chalk that one up to Fincher.

Then they played "Head Like a Hole" and that was pretty much it for NIN for the night.

Although the host mentioned another appearance from Trent Reznor is still coming up on tonight's show, of course. And they also mentioned Manson's performance with Rammstein and the upcoming release of Born Villain before playing "No Reflection," after already playing the radio edit of "The Beautiful People" earlier, so it was still a pretty fun episode.

I should clarify that the host didn't bring up that bit of trivia as a part of the interview, he just mentioned it as a quick aside between songs several minutes following the brief audio snippet of Trent Reznor talking about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, after they'd played "The Hand That Feeds" and gone to commercial and come back.

Speaking of which, is that front door from the Tate mansion still down in New Orleans or did he take it with him again when he moved? Still curious if there was ever anything further said about that.

[Hazekiah]

Breaking news on "Hard Drive" tonight from the mouth of Trent Reznor himself:

New NIN "may not happen at all."

[Amaro]

Ah fuck.

-
Wait what?

[ZootZap]

What a bummer
But a new album from HTDA this year and a new album from NIN... to be honest

[jessamineny]

Like... ever?
More context, plz.

After listening to this VVVVVVV Oh, Hazekiah, congrats on taking that so incredibly far out of context.

[BenAkenobi]

here's the TR speech compressed and without Closer song that everyone heard 1000 times
