Nine Inch Nails

If you've not gone and gotten this album yet, it's a must. I've listened to all the tracks a bunch of times now, and as short as the album is it's well worth it (especially considering it's FREE for download on NIN's site) http://www.nin.com/ I'm going to see them in August (woot!) so obviously I'm a fan - but I know I'm not the only one. So yea, check it out!

One week ago Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President and Vice President of the United States of America. This event, to my knowledge, was not covered by any major news organization, unless it was in the footnotes somewhere. It did, however, make the front page of Le Monde. Gore Vidal's article on Truthdig inspired the shit out of me, but it's probably a bit too late, as our fearless state representatives have now buried said motion i... MORE

Read the whole ARTICLE HERE: http://tinyurl.com/6buj2w TRENT REZNOR’S home is on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, up a maze of climbing one-lane roads that baffle a rental car’s GPS navigation. It’s perched on a dizzyingly steep slope with a panoramic view of smoggy downtown. At the moment Mr. Reznor isn’t living there. The place has become a full-scale construction site after a kitchen renovation somehow spread to the entire house. But one room remains neat and dust-fr... MORE

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor recently hailed their group's upcoming tour as possibly one of the best ever. Reznor exalted his group, or this version of Nine Inch Nails,in a blog drenched in much praise and enthusiasm for his comrades. Excerpts from the group's official web site below: "I am proud to announce the final personnel lineup of NINE INCH NAILS for the foreseeable future. We've added, we've subtracted and we've wound up with unquestionably the stronge... MORE

thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years - this one's on me And with those words Trent Reznor released Halo 27, known as The Slip, to the world gratis. This album follows right on the heels of his last self-released album Ghosts I-IV (two months and three days to be exact), marketed in a similar vein to the Radiohead In Rainbows "pay what you feel" method. Mixed reception aside, Ghosts surely gave Reznor the breathing space to create when and how h... MORE

Nice shiny title for a review don’t you think? The new NIN album is called ‘The Slip’ and all. Thought I’d use it before someone else does. Actually it refers not only to the album itself but also to the fact that Reznor is giving it to you in its entirety for free (in case you haven't heard), on his official site, at the quality level of your choice, with nothing required but an email address. A first for any artist of Nine Inch Nails’ stature. So has Trent Reznor slip... MORE

Much has been made of Nine Inch Nails' new album being given away for free. And I do applaud Mr. Reznor for continuing down the digital road he's on....however... The Slip just isn't very good. It sounds as though he had a bunch of B-Sides laying around and put them together. There's no inventiveness in the sounds. It all sounds like well-recorded demos. It's a particular dissapointment coming on the heels of Ghosts, which seemed a much more considered, mature work. He... MORE

I plan to review this album in detail soon, but for now I just have to say that Trent Reznor's level of productivity over the past few years and ability to stay relevant and innovative over a long career is impressive to say the least...

sniff sniff what's that smell? no, it's not the decaying corpse of bret michaels (can someone please take out the trash?), it's the fetid stench of the riaa slowly rotting from the inside out and topside down. thank you, trent, for not only being fucking hott and stirring my sick, twisted, b/d fantasies, but for flying the "fuck you" flag high over the crumbling ivory towers of Big Music.

Trent Reznor and I are on a first-name basis. At least, in my head we are. After all, we’ve been through a lot together, he and I. For example, there was that period of my life where I was on-again-off-again dating that lesbian girl who didn’t know she was a lesbian yet. Let me tell you, those were difficult times. Thank God I had my friend Trent, “Something I Can Never Have,” and the repeat button.
I know, I know—this review is starting off on the wrong track. I’m he... MORE

here's one of the songs off the exclusive free cd that's literally only available to each person for 1 hour. http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup

Trent Reznor would like you to know that "This one's on me." No, he isn't buying you a round of Cinco De Mayo margaritas (bummer), instead the Nine Inch Nails frontman is giving away the band's new album The Slip for free. So, now you'll have more money for gas. The Slip is available right now as a free download at NIN.com. The band is looking to release a physical CD and vinyl in July. The queer thing about the press release was the line that read:"The Slip" marks the fir... MORE
