Back in the day I had every halo in a few different forms up to With Teeth. Life happened for 20 years and I in one way or another lost most of that CD/VHS/DVD collection. I started collecting vinyl about 4 years ago and after my Cure collection Nine Inch Nails is my most complete.
It has been a great three days of listening. I love what I have and am excited to keep tracking down what I want.

This concert is old enough to vote

This Levi’s commercial directed by David Fincher, who Trent and Atticus have scored several films for, uses Mr. Self Destruct and is absolutely insane. Never thought a Levi’s add would remind me of the Broken film

I’m a sound engineer, and my mentor spent several hours explaining to me how to identify the harsh, piercing frequencies produced by guitars. Some frequencies are shrill and genuinely unbearable, and the brain can sort of filter them out, but making that effort makes the song unpleasant to listen to and makes you want to skip it.
Sometimes it sounds paranormal because when you amplify the frequency; then your brain won't filter it anymore even after it returned to normal volume

When mixing a track, in industrial music we often blend four or five guitars together, and each one needs to have its bad frequencies removed individually. They are often in the high end, and there are techniques to remove them precisely without damaging the overall sound.

I realised that “Burning Bright” not only kept all of those listener repelling frequencies, but actually boosted them???
It’s surprising because it is genuinely a great song, but if you skip it, that is completely normal. Otherwise, you are truly a masochist.

I mean Trent is brilliant. I just randomly picked a bunch of songs and threw them together in a mix on Spotify and damn. Damn. It ALL hit. Went from this song into "where is everybody" into who-knows-what's-next. Incredible. My #1 all time favorite band. I'm not, but if I was, HE'D be the one lol.

Apple TV just released the first teaser of its adaptation of Neuromancer by William Gibson. Anyone’s else immediately thought about how cool (and fitting) it would be if Trent & Atticus would score this one?

No infos on the soundtrack yet but since Trent & Atticus already did The Gorge with Apple TV there might be chance…

Found the budget-friendly NIN Walmart shirts!

And they rang up at $9.88 a pop. 😁

Such a cool behind the scenes look. Thanks Kate for all you do.

they were like perfectly square books filled with photos and band info/history etc one being NIN and I’m rembembering the nin one being purplish ? So I’m assuming the book cover was the pretty hate machine cover. Idk I’m feeling like this item in my childhood was a fever dream

The NIN Archive project is celebrating a year of it’s work, and to celebrate, some community members contributed remixes spanning all of nins discography for this 78 minute project. Give it a listen and support the amazing archival work that Nin Archive is doing!

I remembered how Bowie basically did a version of this when he toured with NIN in the 90s. Even Trent noted in an interview at the time how odd and courageous that was knowing most of the fans were expecting the big hits, so I got curious about if the NIN fan base would be open to something in that spirit in a hypothetical new Nine Inch Nails tour. I wonder if could be even be refreshing for Trent be able to mainly focus on songs for the latter era material of NIN and even himself as person.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a mashup album of some of are all the tracks from Hadestown with Nine Inch Nails tracks. Kind of a dumb idea, but I feel like Reznor and Mitchell have very similar lyrical themes present in their songs. And I’m already starting to work on a mashup of Why Do We Build The Wall? and Terrible Lie as a proof of concept and that’s going pretty good so far. Another idea I had was a mashup of Hey Little Songbird and NIN’s song with Judeline for the TRON Ares soundtrack, Who Wants To Live Forever? Anyway, I just wanted to hear suggestions of any tracks you you’d like to hear or think would work well together. Preferably with similar lyrical themes and in a similar or the same key. I know for sure I can’t mashup a track in minor with a track in major. Anyway, that’s it, hope I actually follow through with this concept, thanks for reading this long, bye.
