I was recently spelunking through my vast and semi-organized digital archives when I once again came across files I had scraped from nin.net a while ago. If you're old like me, you might remember nin.net as being home to the prototypical Nine Inch Nails fansite . Jason Patterson built it and hosted it out of Florida State University server before landing the nin.net domain, and expanded to an…
On social media, Nine Inch Nails has shared a video clip of what appears to be the Nine Inch Noize record, with the corner label getting replaced with a label that says June 17. There's a Polaroid picture that briefly comes into frame, hinting that each copy of the record might include a unique tour photo. While there are no further details so far, the delay between the digital release and the…
In the US Amazon store, the limited edition white double vinyl Tron: Ares soundtrack is $15 and I think that's as low a price as it's ever going to be. (That's it. That's the update.)
In mid-April, I got a notification that I had a new email in my NIN Hotline email address, and when I saw the sender, it made me feel really happy. The name Keith Duemling should ring a bell if you've ever done a deep dive in the NIN Hotline article archives , or if you're old like me and used to go to SmashedUpSanity.com. I often collaborated online with Keith in my late teens and early 20s,…
Teddy at Interscope wanted asked if I could let you know that they are blowing out unnumbered Interscope Vinyl Club editions of The Downward Spiral through until the 15th. Seems like something you might be interested in! Maybe you're like me and you have a few copies of The Downward Spiral on vinyl - what makes the IVC version different? Well, it's more or less the definitive edition , but with a…
The only reason I haven't posted about the latest Nine Inch Nails record, Nine Inch Noize, is because my hands have been holding my headphones to my head since April 17. Eating has been a challenge, and I have to stay off camera at work, but I've been listening to the album on repeat since it dropped. Longer, if you count the time I spent listening to the audio rip of the Coachella performance.…
If you were hoping for studio versions of what was played at Coachella, I've got excellent news, coming from Brooklyn Vegan . (Consequence, who I credited in a previous version of this post, tagged the news as "Alternative Rock, Rock" and didn't mention a source) According to the quote on BrooklynVegan, "We recorded this album all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels,…
It's Tuesday as I write this, Saturday seems like a month ago, but tonight I found time to turn off the lights, turn up the volume and watch Nine Inch Noize at Coachella . The San Francisco Chronicle's headline is Nine Inch Noize's Coachella set may go down as one of the festival's best ever . Over on Yahoo, Fans Can’t Stop Talking About Nine Inch Noize . Consequence, who spilled the beans about…
Over on Reverb , you've already missed the stage-used Strega and Tascam deck, but as of this posting there are still 11 items available, shipped from Chicago, including that sweet sweet Iceman Bass, and a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 that saw ten years of touring usage. If I had space and wasn't spending all my money building a museum to house a bunch of artifacts I dug out of toilet holes,…
Back in October, we reported that a promo CD for The Walled Off Hotel appeared on Discogs. Initially just a listing, it wasn't long before the album was offered for sale, listed on Discogs for $2,000. The listing came and went a few times, but earlier this month, it became apparent that a member of the fan community had spent the money, and shared the previously unreleased track "Separation…
