I fucking love so many of you NIN fans so much right now. People have shown me such much kindness and generosity over the past few weeks in helping me out with my trip in different ways. Amazing!
I can't wait to thank you for myself next month!

Professionally filmed Ghosts I-IV played live at the Sydney Opera House, followed with the release of Ghosts V-VIII soonerishly after.
Ahhhhh a man can dream though. A man can dream.
YZ2 can wait.
Seeing this got me to wonder what Alex Jones would've thought of Year Zero.
You do realize that Alex Jones is completely batshit crazy, right?
Adding the additional singers is a master stroke. I mean they sound fucking brilliant, ambient-funk band transformation is perfect.
The percussion break and outro of "Satellite" (2:50 - end) is absolutely great. The song hasn't really been one of my preferred favorites from the new album but that part is one of the coolest parts on the album. It sounds like a blend of all his styles. The dub reggae sounding echo on his voice at 2:50 is badass.
Anyone think that the progression that starts at 3:04 is the same as "Black Noise?"
As far as Nine Inch Nails related things go, all I can really think about right now is just resting up and recovering for the actual concert I'll attending in just a mere two days. I was at the verge of getting a full-blown cold. Talk about lame. It seems to be going away right now though as I'm not giving it a chance to overtake me.
I've always imagined what the following would look were it not for ETS being chosen for the forum title.

With "In Two" played tonight, we're now just missing The Eater Of Dreams and Everything. Reckon they'll appear?
Maybe Just Once live... orgasm
I did some toying around with the CRC Sessions files. I first had a 192kbps mp3 copy, but recently got a lossless version (just checked that it's the same one that's on RITC). I thought that the mp3 version sounded much better, it almost sounded like a different recording altogether. The lossless one sounded tinny and the vocals were drowned. Looked at the spectros on each, decided to do some low pass filter under 16000 Hz to approach matching the data of the mp3 version. They started to almost sound the same after filtering.
So... just a random discovery -- though the lossless copy is obviously the original quality and objectively superior, lossless sounded a bit worse to me due to being drowned in junk noise from the high freqs. I just made my own edit of the lossless with a slight rolloff, but not as low at 16k.

Should probably post this in controversial NIN opinions topic, but I think I want to see Maybe Just Once live more than TPD.
I want a time machine.
Cool moment yesterday: I went to see Queens of the Stone Age, at a festival in my hometown with a Mastodon T Shirt and i was waiting in the foodcourt line when a guy with a brand new NIN Tension T Shirt approached to me, we both made approval gestures about our shirts and went our separate ways...

idle fantasy: after seeing four Fragile songs last night, I want more than ever to hear the new band play The Fragile, front to back. Can you imagine the backing singers on The Big Comedown? Where is Everybody???
I may wind up in London next year with the girlfriend as she has a sister that lives there and wants us to visit. Is it bad that I'm really hoping that NIN is playing there at the same time?
What's funny is that Hesitation Marks seems to have some call backs to the Pretty Hate Machine era. It's got that synth and dance vibe to alot of it for one, DJ scratches in Various Methods, Copy of A seems reminiscent of the demo version of Kinda I Want To and Came Back Haunted seems to reference the opening notes of Ringfinger.
It seriously seems like he came full circle and just implemented all of his previous styles into one album.

When it comes to Hesitation Marks and other Nine Inch Nails albums, I mostly hear Pretty Hate Machine and With Teeth in it, but I can also hear some hints of The Fragile and The Slip in it as well.
Not sure where to put this so I'll drop it here.
Has anyone taken a look at the nin ringtones in the itunes store? The Dead Souls one is hysterical. "They keep calling me, they keep calling me, they keep calling me, they keep calling me!!"
Someone has a sense of humor.
