gone girl was one of the books i bought for my county jail vacation, so i will tell you guys what i think in a month.
Funny - that's actually how TSN works for me. When I got it, I was listening to it heavily during the first two weekends, which were spent driving between west Texas and New Mexico. It'll always remind me of driving through the streets of ABQ at night with the moon lighting up the mountains in the background, and driving through the mountains and White Sands Missile Range at dawn.
Listening to the first part of Dragon just reminds me of being on a tour bus, which to me, is a special place. When I've been out of work for too long (or on a tour where we fly everywhere), it still serves as the soundtrack to my memory of busing around.
The song form Gone Girl is playing just before the shows start here in Europe
They played songs from TGWTDT before their Australian shows, so I'm not surprised.
Dammit Trent, play some new stuff off the Gone Girl soundtrack :P
I'm reading Gone Girl right now, and he is right about the book being "nasty." It also sounds like the film is going to be even darker than its source material. Definitely gonna see this one on Opening Night.
Someone who's recording one of the shows needs to record the pre-show/between act music, too. @RITCNIN ... know anybody that you can give a heads-up to?
The track somewhat reminds me of "She Reminds Me Of You". I tried to shazam it and I got no results, although there are people talking over it so I don't know.

edit: it's this track, false alarm https://soundcloud.com/invadauk/sets...solaris-ost-2/
It's not the first time I hear some martinez tracks before the shows (and before uploading this clip I was almost sure it must have been either reznor or martinez)

I read the book and it was SOOOOOOOO fucking good. Creepy, menacing, sinister. And it hits a little close to home...i think that's kind of the point. They reel you in with this fucked up relationship, but want you to think "Oh, shit...my relationship is kinda like that.
I'm REALLY wondering how Fincher is going to pull this off in movie form, because it has such a peculiar, unconventional literary structure.
But i trust him. Can't wait to hear the music!
I wonder if Trent will try out the deluxe package deal again for this one. Though, considering Hesitation Marks didn't get anything more than the 2CD thing, I'm not so sure this will get anything more than CD and vinyl. Especially with The Fragile (perpetually) on the horizon.
I really just want a cool deluxe package from the first day it's released, instead of buying it two years after the fact.
I am just going to be on the look out for the damn "For Your Consideration" copy to complete my collection… if hit is even considered
I can't believe what you're saying, @butter_hole .
I thought Gone Girl was great, beginning to end.
And i would assume that Flynn rewriting the ending doesn't have anything to do with it being "terrible."
It's probably to match the director's vision, or to make it more palatable and stronger in the film version.
I'll admit, the ending wasn't perfect, but it damn sure wasn't "terrible."
I have a bad feeling that this soundtrack is going to get a lackluster shitty release without any thought or time put into the packaging or presentation. Just from how far behind the whole camp is with the Tension DVD and the fact that NIN is about to go back on tour up until the release of the movie and Rob, Im sure, will be on tour taking band photos for NIN.com rather than working on this OR the Tension dvd.
I've got to be honest, I'm not too bothered about the packaging for this, I just want to hear the music and I'll probably go and see the film too. Perhaps they'll do a scavenger hunt type thing while on the Soundgarden tour? (like that mouthtapedshut for girl with the dragon tattoo)
have you guys read the book? i really dug it.
edit: actually i more than really dug it.
it's the best writing i've read in years.
and i think it's perfect for trent and atticus.

Nothing really earth shattering just a few new pictures of Atticus and Trent in the studio

there is never a point that i am not reading a book.
perhaps i'm reading the wrong books.
turn me on, who writes exquisitely these days?
i'm not so much talking about story or plot...when i say it's the best writing i've read in years, i'm talking sheer beauty of prose, page by page.
for instance, this quote from gone girl: “I felt a queasy mixture of relief and horror: when you finally stop an itch and realize it’s because you’ve ripped a hole in your skin.”
her writing is so sharp. i remember another near the end where amy talks about growing into every part of nick like a vine, something along those lines. there are several other such passages. It's been a while since i read a book where lines really stuck out in my mind.
The last one i've read that had prose as striking as the prose in gone girl was The Loop, by Nicholas Evans.
Unfortunately, in the small town in which i am stuck, the closest bookstore is a wal-mart, so i just buy what seems like it might look good.
I am a Steven King fanatic, and an obsessive and prodigious reader. So anything you guys could recommend to keep me reading between king releases would make me happy.
Edit: I started a thread over in literature; it's called Favorite Books and Authors. So, @butter_hole , @sheepdean , please weigh in!
My mind is bored. I'm reading something that i don't really like right now...i need good recommendations!
Back on topic, i gave TGWTDT a spin for the first time, and i fucking LOVED it! Now i'm really looking forward to the soundtrack to Gone Girl.
