Got my presale tickets to the first US show of the tour. The presale went pretty smoothly, but the tickets are more expensive than they used to be. That’s what we get for getting so much free music nowadays. July 26th seems so far away. It feels a little overwhelming to think that there have been 2 new album since I last saw them live. I hope there are still some old faves in the set beyond Closer/Hurt/Head Like a Hole in there…. Bookmark to:

woohoo- we still get special entrances…but i’m still skeptical. i don’t like the sound of ‘work in progress‘. Glad to hear Lexington will go first- let’s see how their tickets go before mine go on sale…. Bookmark to:

NIN did it again and surprised everyone by releasing a new single today via….the radio. It seems that sobriety+no record company has turned Trent Reznor into a prolific tune creator. The sound of this single is honestly a surprise to me, its a bit schizophrenic in comparison to other recent works, and embodies a space on the other end of the spectrum from Ghosts. It’s more like ‘Only’. Not that I don’t like it, but I’m feeling a bit like NIN is having an identity crisis. And this doesn’t sound like it belongs on Year Zero part 2, which we know is in the works. I think this is potentially a leftover from With Teeth. Best kind of leftovers, ever. To pair with this release, nin.com has been updated with another ‘2 weeks‘ statement. While I dig more music, I really really need the presale thing situated. Many of us fans are on edge about this, and I’d like to know I’ve got my set of tickets. But you know what else is coming in 2 weeks? My limited edition Ghosts set. I wonder if something will be hidden in there. Since ideally it’s the superfans who got these sets, this would be the perfect time to launch another ARG, or some other creative endeavor that is beyond my consideration set. To be continued…. DISCIPLINE (updated with official release) *UPDATE* Once I start I cannot help myself… Bookmark to:

R.I.P., Spiral. Oh, how you were so good to me. I hope your dismissal doesn’t ruin my plans to travel for this tour, as the ‘presales’ become scalper central and my dreams of a meet and greet become as much of a fantasy as a Manson/NIN coheadlining tour. Let’s take a walk down memory lane… ~Spiral forum boards. Watching the Year Zero ARG unfold on those boards was pure entertainment. I never got to do the M&G, partially because of work and I never wanted to go by myself (I don’t have any hardcore NIN friends). This makes me sad….and angry! And I usually go listen to NIN when I’m angry…now I’m going to have to go listen to DEP. Fuck. A glimmer of hope lurks somewhere within me, since I trust TR to still support his fans and outsmart the scalpers. I just hope it’s not a trial and error process. I Do Not Want This. Bookmark to:

It appears that a guy has embarked on an effort to get Trent to assist him in proposing to his girlfriend at a show on this upcoming tour. It’s a nice thought, but my sense tell me this might be a fruitless effort. I would suggest proposing sans Reznor’s help at a show- just be careful what song you choose to do it during. 90% of the songs might lead to failed marriages. Definitely avoid Piggy and Hurt. To avoid awkward stories with the kids about marriage proposals, I’d also avoid Closer. Bookmark to:

Digital releases. Video contests. General shunning of record in record industry traditionalism. It’s a head to head race of creativity and reinvention, resulting in a media- and fan- frenzy. Who will win? All of us. Because no matter who copied who and what comes next, we will all benefit. These two bands are breaking into new territory, and using their known status as a testing ground that could result in a complete overhaul of the music industry, that will ultimately save it. Not only will bands that follow get to survive, but fans like me will have more to choose from. And, in a sense, this is a close comparison to what is going on in the Democratic Primary race right now. Obama and Clinton are in a horse race, but in the end, both would result in White House firsts, and a good regime change. We’ll either have the first black president, the first woman president, perhaps a moderate Republican, and we definitely won’t have to deal with Bush anymore. Either way, we all win. And that’s what makes this whole thing exciting. We all have our personal favorites, the ones we are rooting for, but in the end, we know that it will all be better than what we’re stuck with now. Stodgy record companies and trigger-happy presidents, move over. The fat lady has sung. Another thing these two have in common- Lollapalooza. Please make Outside Lands next. Bookmark to:
