I can now add "Made Trent and Atticus laugh with parody lyrics" to my list of personal accomplishments
Coming within a month after I've had a few professors tell me I'm a solid, entertaining writer - that's pretty fucking validating, folks.
Craw and Null has unknowingly unleashed the latest hip new NIN meme
Another team anxiety member named HammerZestCondo has made an appearance. I wonder who that is. Hasn't said anything yet though.
When asked about what caught his eye lately, he said he'd watched The movie Titane a few times. I found it on Hulu. He's right just start watching it, I'll add to remember it's rated R++ and I'm only 15 minutes in.
Oh, and I'm mirroring my IG NIN_Vinyl handle in there.
From banned to pinged by the big guy in the same day? Nicely done.

Happy to help @seasonsinthesky .
Oh, for reference, I use my intrinsicmode handle on Discord. Trent's comment about loving the Moog Matriarch was in response to me, so that was exciting
A digest of Trent posts from this evening for those of you not on the server:
TR:
- back home after a grueling three date tour!
- Finish the show, get to the hotel @ 1AM, get up at 4AM for the airport.
- We have lots of scoring work to attend to, but I don't think tonight is going to be very productive...
- 4 films right now
Q: What would the score to this discord chat sound like?
TR: several 100 gecs songs playing at the same time overtop of each other.
Q: Trent do you find us annoying
TR: I find the so-far generally good natured chaos of discord preferable to a handful of people bitching and complaining on a bb
bb = bulletin board?
Bb = bulletin board yes
Fwiw, as nice as it is to have an official nin thing and I’m lurking there, ETS is firmly established in my life as an awesome community. Long may it last
Going back and forth from both has been a lot lol
I agree. There isn’t really even what I’d call “bitching” here. More like yearning (for certain songs to be played live) and that’s about the extent of it.
there’s like 30 of us here who love almost everything he does but he’ll focus on the one dumbass comment and throw us all away. typical. “suck my entire cock” indeed.
edit: thread title updated now with more bitching
They're doing some cool things with the Discord community that are worth keeping an eye on as far as 'artist-fan' engagement goes but the format and framing of the discourse there makes it a much more spur-of-the-moment, Twitter-esque place where the topic of discussion is always swaying radically and varying chaotically in ways that make long term discussion almost impossible. I'm enjoying it but it's not in any danger of replacing this board for me, that's for sure.
Dying at Trent's saltiness towards ETS. Love you too man! And four film scores, jesus. I know we're all hoping for new NIN material but I don't know how realistic those hopes are with all that on their plate.
The bb bitching comment made me a little sad this morning. 20yrs of loving NIN and going to shows. Oh well. Nothing quite like the feel of something new I guess.
The NIN bb was a clusterfuck, but as a former member I feel this was driven largely by band members being there and whilst some good mods there was some horrendous moderation. There came a point when only negative stuff was reacted to. Lots of positive stuff was happening in sub forums. I'm still close to the friends I made there and we are meeting up at Eden again this year.
The stuff being posted in Discordance isn't much different from what was being posted on the NIN bb but moderation is good.
Well I don't really know what, if any, NIN-centric boards are still out there but I assumed he was referring to ETS...but only a certain subset of ETS. I don't consider most of us in that undesirable subset. Maybe he does get irked by legitimate critiques of this or that but, by and large, most here are pretty fair and level headed. Shrug.
I've dipped my toes into the discord, and while it's great to read comments from the band, discussion-wise it's pretty insubstantial, just by virtue of the format, I think. For my part, ETS is in no danger of being eclipsed.
