I really really want to hear NIN cover "10 Dollar."

two weeks pass...

More to anticipate!

― Ivan G (Ivan), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds good from here. I'll keep an eye out for the tortured souls this weekend.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Reznor said that most of the album was recorded "in hotel rooms around the world on laptops," with very few musicians beside himself and "maybe some surprise vocalists that pop up here and there."

Is he MOBY?

Has anyone written an in-depth, unauthorized bio of this band yet? Cuz I'd love to see ex-NINnies dish on the power dynamics/behind-the-scenes stuff.

20 GOTO 10
RUN

Anyone hear the radio sessions from last year where Trent and members of bands opening for NIN would cover each other's songs plus some of their shared favorites? There were a few questionable ones (Reznor singing TV On the Radio songs?) but some decent ones too (Peter Murphy singing Reptile!). I'd wonder if some of these guest vocalists are just tourmates.

Reznor singing TV On the Radio songs?

Oh dear.

Has the time come for the fabled collaboration with Robert Smith?

― is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Thursday, 1 February 2007 08:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to see reznor and bowie perform the macarena, complete with dance. and then for trent to embrace his 80's past by recording an album of new romantic covers.

sadly tho...

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Thursday, 1 February 2007 08:31 (seventeen years ago) link

We haven't heard the new one yet, anything is possible.

i like the nerdy (but pretty neat-o) way they're marketing this album:

The illegal link stuff is when you include punctuation marks in the text you want to cover the URL itself in the final text -- just stick with basic characters!

[/]Growth in lyrics = overrated. [i/]

Ned OTM muchly.

― i, grey, Saturday, 24 February 2007 07:10 (seventeen years ago) link

The sign which quickly passes by in the video clip reads 'I Am Trying to Believe,' which is the phrase that kicked off this whole thing to start with.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 24 February 2007 07:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Guest vocalist on "Survivalism" according to this -- Saul Williams.

Growth in lyrics = overrated.

Ned Raggett (Ned) on Monday, 15 January 2007 04:46 (1 month ago)

i pretty much agree with this, but i find it easier to take with artists like ac/dc or the ramones or too short or whoever, where the general vibe is a sort of winking bonhomie...NIN are so damn serious and dire, i guess sometime i wish he'd actually deliver on something more, since there's a very "this is an important statement" vibe going on with the whole thing.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Good point, actually. Does pop (which I'd argue all the other counterexamples are, easily) allow for non-growth only when it's delivered with an overt or clear humor?

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i don't know...that's just how i feel instinctively, i'm not sure it SHOULD be right...it's probably just like anything, we tend to identify with people that seem more like "regular folks" and are more inclined to give them a "pass" as it were, just because we/I don't feel like they are holding themselves up above us/me as a "artist" or whatever....

haha i guess i'm "voting" for too short and ac/dc cuz like people who voted for bush because they'd "rather go out for a beer with him"?

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I've come to realise over the years that it's sometimes only possible for me to enjoy an artist's work if I never read anything about them or hear anything that they say. But that's easy enough, and why not?

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Realizing that liking someone's music != having to think positively of them personally if the evidence suggested otherwise was a key step for me when younger. That said, most of the musicians I have met are all pretty swell!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

man i'd love to be friends with too short! another one of my dreams that will go unrealized.

Realizing that liking someone's music != having to think positively of them personally if the evidence suggested otherwise was a key step for me when younger.

yep.

i think i made this too "personal" sounding actually, there's more to it than just personalities. i can't really express my point too well, i guess.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Generally it's not that I think they're not decent human beings. I just think a lot of artists aren't the best judges of their own work.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

More thoughts on this later, gotta dash to a birthday party!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

New song "leaked".

In This Twilight

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 02:47 (seventeen years ago) link

TOTAL Aphex/Warp mid-nineties start there (BoC maybe?). Once the 'normal' drums start less so but damn, I love the way Trent's singing on this, great to hear him actually take a soft turn with his voice. Nice sonic scuzz on the chorus. Great contrast to the other songs that have emerged so far.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 26 February 2007 03:32 (seventeen years ago) link

What do you want to bet the songs that are "leaked" are not the actual versions of the songs on the album.

― daria-g, Monday, 26 February 2007 06:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Then hurrah! Alternate mixes/takes!

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 26 February 2007 06:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I was so hoping for a Stephen Tintin Duffy cover!

― naus, Monday, 26 February 2007 06:52 (seventeen years ago) link

But then again, it probably wouldn't fit in with the album's concept.

― naus, Monday, 26 February 2007 06:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i love this latest song, it's nice

― latebloomer, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

RAWK.

(Meaning = saw 'em tonight in London.)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay. Seeing 'em tomorrow.

― ledge, Thursday, 8 March 2007 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to say I was surprised at how heavily the show was weighted to Broken and The Downward Spiral -- they even played "Help Me I Am in Hell," something I would have never expected. So this was a bit disappointing, frankly -- that was the era I saw them last in, and I would have preferred something more wide ranging. As it was there were two Fragile cuts and three With Teeth songs, plus "Survivalism," which eats as muttered above. All this said, great show, Trent's got every pose down pat, RAWK, etc.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 March 2007 11:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Every time I see this thread title, I read it as "Nine Below Zero" !

FYI: all you need to know about the viral campaign/the attempts from the resistance from the future to travel back in time to warn us/etc is here (page updated all the time - you'll see the videoclip for Survivalism was distributed on a couple of USB sticks yesterday at the show, for instance.
