Does anyone else feel like you've accomplished nothing when you think about Ilan? He is what... 25 right now? So his first go 'round with NIN he was 20 - 21? Goddamn.
He seems like such a cool dude. I love his Insagram posts. He seems to genuinely appreciate everything. Traveling, family, his dogs. Haha.
*edit*
Someone has already pointed it out

Hands off! He's mine! lol
The man loves Ferrero Rochers. No joke. I posted a pic of a wrapper of one as a "sculpture" and told him that he might appreciate it on IG. He actually replied back to add a few more wrappers into the mix. He is so awesome!
Meathead was the biggest surprise on that list. I was NOT expecting that to be on there.
I generally can't stand the whole "let's make a list with separate pages for each item to get more money from ads" thing, but I can't lie that was a decent list of things that actually are pretty much NIN-fan-centric. When I first read the intro, with them referring to Trent as "High King of the Emo Elves" I was fully prepared to roll my eyes, but yeah, Meathead, the ARG, the Fragility tour, etc., all of it was pretty decent. Not a bad find!
Telefon Tel Aviv interview where Josh Eustis talks a bit about his new album and his time with NIN. I had no idea he extricated Trent from an unfortunate situation in a bar in the Downward Spiral days!

For the drummers out there:
Um, the "Beautiful Noise" documentary with Trent interview finally getting screened. Or is that old news?

wow, I'd forgotten about that. How long has it been?
Wasn't sure where to post this, so...

I think that he made a thread here.

New official instagram post of a pic from the first show/private rehearsal for Fragility 2.0: http://instagram.com/p/pt0HyvDqlk/?modal=true
Elektron (weareelektron) posted this photo on their Instagram with the caption: "Alessandro Cortini sent us this picture of his setup!"

I'm guessing this is part of his new setup for the upcoming North American tour, because he's never had the Analog Keys and Analog Rytm in his rig before?
just caught the amazingly nin-obsessed review of the new album at rolling stone:
2 Stars
For his seventh album, Deadmau5 has turned from an electro-house polymath into the world's most unnecessary Nine Inch Nails tribute act. With a running time longer than the new X-Men movie, the two-disc While(1<2) gives Mau5 plenty of room to spiral downward into many of Trent Reznor's favorite tricks – the moody minor-key melodies, the Erik Satie-derived piano miniatures, the flickering static and machine fuzz, the bent and tortured notes, the plodding chug on acoustic guitar. Twice you can hear him end a song by taking his foot o the piano's sustain pedal, just like NIN collaborator Aphex Twin's "Avril 14th." There's even a remix of a seven-year-old Nine Inch Nails song ("Survivalism") that makes it sound like it came from 1999. However, erase the Reznor fan fiction from this 141-minute behemoth, and there's a solid 64-minute house record hidden in there, trading in night-cruise synths and walloping throb. Highlights like "Infra Turbo Pigcart Racer" and "Mercedes" are revving engines that gleam with vintage textures: Deadmau5 shines brightest, it seems, when he turns off The Social Network and puts on Drive.

Two things popped into my mind when I saw this captioned as "Gone Girl." on FB:
1. Should someone start a "Hey Girl / Gone Girl" meme?
2. Did TR go to Lenscrafters with Dave Sitek?

"I promise to go back to the eye doctor for a prescription update... soon."

I dig bespectacled Trent.
Not the kind of glasses I would have expected,* but Studio Trent seems to have a different fashion sense than Touring Trent.
* I have no idea what kind of glasses I would have expected, so that's not saying much.
This has its own thread but here is a kickstarter for a very awesome looking comic anthology inspired by NIN songs.

I swear he's kept growing younger throughout the Hesitation Marks touring cycle.
