Maybe he referred to Mantra session

This has probably been asked and answered before, but I've been wondering about this for years.
What's Trent's Twitter display picture of/from?
It's from an old arcade game called Robotron: 2084

anyone know what program this is and what for?
the song is Satellite
It looks a little like what I've seen of Pure Data, but I suspect it's something custom.
Thanks. I guess I have to ask Rob on twitter for that.
are people assuming it is for "Satellite" because of the structure or is there something I'm not seeing?

I just wanted to be sure that I got this right. Was Trent upset at having the regular version of Pretty Hate Machine being re-released in 2011 through UMe because he clearly didn't "okay" it? Just like The Downward Spiral being re-released on vinyl? (I could obviously understand the reason behind that.) And did Bicycle Music also have something do with it?
I also wonder what royalties NIN gets from all his albums, or if there are albums he currently has no rights to any longer. (Sorry, I have no idea how this stuff works after a musician leaves a label, but it's probably safe to assume that he's getting a lot or a little bit more from his releases from Ghosts I-IV and up as of right now.)
(i posted this on another thread but people are talking about it here.) is that TouchDesigner or something like it? i only used it briefly for a contract, but it looks similar.
TouchDesigner is for controlling lighting and live visuals. We used for an art installation with an array of LEDs that change colors.
EDIT: this does not look like Max or pd to me. at least not the standard interfaces.

Trent's always been rather defensive about how his music is released and re-released. The Rykodisc release, for example, probably made sense to him because PHM had been out of print for years. And of course, he supervised the 2010 remaster that Bicycle/UMe put out. The problem with the 2011 reissue was that it wasn't anything noteworthy - just yet another pressing of the regular album, which pissed him off because the 2010 remaster was also out on the market and he probably felt that having two versions of the same album on the market at the same time was stupid and unnecessary.
For royalties, I think the amount he gets from each album sale is the same, but he just can't use the songs in new non-Interscope releases without dealing with Interscope first.
Trent is always upset when shitty record labels re-release his material (and do a shit job of it) just to grab some quick cash. The Bicycle remaster was done by Trent and Co., and actually had some effort put into it to at least give the consumer something (somewhat) new for their money.

All The Love In The World (The Definitive NIN - Deep Cuts)
In the song's appearance on The Definitive NIN - Deep Cuts, there is a layer of additional samples - speech taken from The Twilight Zone episode "When The Sky Was Opened".
^ Where can those samples be heard in that version of the song?

Live
"The Collector" was played live primarily on the Live: With Teeth tour, becoming a rarity in the setlist as the tour went on. It was played once on the Lights In The Sky Tour and several times on the Wave Goodbye Tour. Several of these live versions featured the additional lyrics printed in the With Teeth PDF booklet.
^ Can anyone provide me with a video to a version of this where the extra lyrics are sung?
Also, did we ever get any further footage or images apart from these for the EDIETS video?
Music Video
There were plans for a music video to be directed by Francis Lawrence, edited by Mario Mares, with Max Goldman as director of photography, but it was scrapped during post-production, not long after details about the video leaked to the web. Reznor commented on the scrapped video on Echoing the Sound:
"Regarding EDIETS, there will be no video released. I made a mistake. The good news is that mistake has acted as a catalyst for me to rethink a number of decisions regarding the direction and position of the band I've made and will be making in the future. The enemies from outside and within have been identified and I am back on track."
- Meathead created a Flash Video for the song based on the leaked information.
- Footage of a performance from tour rehearsals is included in the Beside You In Time DVD as a special feature.
Isn't the twilight zone speech right at the beginning? Like the first 20 seconds hidden under the bassline, there are whispers there.
Yes you can hear it very subtly and it start's pretty much with the song. It's burried far back in the mix but audible if you concentrate.
I'm one of those weirdos who waited until I got the CD before listening to Hesitation Marks or any of the material surrounding it. So naturally, I didn't watch any of the festival streams. I'd quite like to see one or two, but don't have the time to comb through each one to find the definitive show. Which, in your opinion, is the best of those recordings, both in audio/visual quality and performance-wise?
I liked the tour opener in japan (because of the crowd and debut of new songs) the germany show (for camera angles ) and final show in philly (because trent seemed thrilled to be there). All the streams that I watched had good to great audio quality, although I didn't see every broadcast.
