My YT page had this today and thought it was cool:

Can't wait for a Still reissue remaster so I can make my own Fragile expanded. Also need Things Falling Apart reissued and remastered.
There was a Direct TV interview from 2002. I thought it was in that interview where he mentioned recording it after the tour. I skimmed through it on YouTube, but didn’t hear that part. Does that sound familiar to anyone else? I feel like it was longer when I saw it originally than what is on YouTube.
Hillebrandt is also on Deep, fwiw
It took me about twenty years of listening to the album version of "Sin" to figure out what the high-pitched squealing noise was on the introduction (just as the hi-hat pattern enters, it starts on the left side of the stereo image, then pans to the other side and back; crops up again several times throughout). Always thought maybe it was a violin sample, or something like that, but then TR casually dropped a truth-bomb in a recent interview that there was "sax on Pretty Hate Machine" and my brain — after a few moments of "WTF is he talking about, 'Purest Feeling' isn't on the album" — went "oh fuck, that noise is a saxophone played in the altissimo range with over-blowing". If you pitch shift it down a couple of tones this is easier to hear, but I'm pretty sure now that's exactly what it is.

Maybe, in the end, the real Bad Witch is dat saaaax.
I dream of NIN tour with Dave Grohl on drums.
I'm curious if "the makeup hides the bruise" in "Branches/Bones" is a possible reference to "Hand Covers Bruise" in the score for "The Social Network".
Sitting here imagining NIN performing Clouser's versions of Ruiner and Heresy Live.. Oh My!
It's possible. It may also be Trent assuming the persona of someone abused. From the opposite perspective: "I left her on the bathroom floor".
This is highly likely, especially given the discovery of the schizophrenic person's blog.
Or it might simply be the broader idea of hiding yourself, wearing masks, make-up, etc.
The official NIN Vimeo account remains a true goldmine. I wish they would upload some new stuff to that account.

Together... 'The Day The World Went Away' (The Fragile, Still, Quiet) is the best song Trent has ever written.
I'm Not From This World has grown on me so much
So I read this on the wiki for I'm Not From This World
Although an instrumental, the following lyrics are embedded in the digital version, and can very faintly be heard in the song. They seem to reference the additional, unsung lyrics from "God Break Down The Door".
I'm Not From This World
Not Anymore
where do you hear this in the song?
