Yeah, FLAC is a lossless format, doesn't mean lossless source, or high quality... As far as I remember anyway, the sound on that track was quite muddy compared to the CD. I had tried to make a "complete" Fragile album, no dice, the drop was too drastic.
I wonder if trent flosses
Has anyone else heard of the My Violence bootleg mentioned here? https://www.ninlive.com/shows/2007/20070524.html I'd like to track one down.
I bought it at Back Trip Records (now Zassap Records) in Shinjuku in 2010.

When these bootlegs get so old, they can be hard to find. It looks like you might be able to still buy one here or here:

The "Osaka Two Days" is a set of "My Violence" and "Revisionism".
I have bought from both of those sites before, but not directly. I have my friend in Japan buy them and then re-ship them to me.
Hell yeah, thank you so much.
Where the heck is YZ DE?
When was the alternate version of Somewhat Damaged debuted? I saw a vid of the live version that's more like the album version, but when did it change?
Lots of activity here is there a nin announcement coming ?
Does anyone remember the username of the person that shared the 2005 rehearsal audio?
Wasn’t it mofoboy or something like that, @piggy ?
That's what I thought, thanks piggy!
Anyone ever seen the full Digg interview with Trent? All I could find are clips of him answering questions about Tapeworm and the bassist Justin-Meldal Johnson. There is a website where it goes over the top questions from the interview but none of the answers from Trent are mentioned there either.
I got the TVT Records NMS 10 Sampler tape today. I can confirm that Down In It is the same as the album version.
Head Like A Hole is a noticeably different mix of the album version and overall longer. It corresponds with no other mix I have heard before. The differences I heard are:
-The main snare sound is pitched lower than the album version or just a different sample altogether.
-The snare part is slightly different during parts of the song.
-The breakdown after the second chorus is longer and totally different sounding, less instrumentation but with a more prominent synth percussion part panning left and right.
-The last chorus and "Bow down before the one you serve" outro are both longer, which is why this is nearly 1 minute longer along with that longer breakdown.
This mix is credited to Keith LeBlanc, who is not credited for the mix on the album version of HLAH, and only for the Clay mix on the HLAH single.
I was able to get a recording so I could compare to the album version, but my tape deck is acting up and running slightly slower than it should be (I was able to correct it in Adobe Audition but that's less than ideal). I need to get a new tape deck so I can make a better transfer, or I could get with Ryan @ninlive and get him to do the transfer. Either way, I'd like to share this mix with folks, just want to get a good transfer of it first.

Does anyone have the picture of TR from the WT 2005 tour where he's doing the "Fist Fuck" motion with his massive bicep? Pretty sure it was an official, live photo. I looked for it last night to show my wife the comparison between skinny TR doing the same motion, but couldn't find it anywhere.
This one?

The one I'm thinking of was more close up. Sort of waist up, with TR left of frame. I think it was used in a "Trent Smash" photoshop in the NIN PS thread here with TR re-coloured green. That one is another good example for her, though. Thanks.
EDIT: Actually, that's probably the exact photo. My old brain may just be remembering a cropped version of the photo.

About the song Sunspots, there's the line: I want to kill away the rest of what's left and I do yes I do.
that final part makes me question: and I do what? it seems like he wants to add something, but forgets, something's missing, anybody can figure that out?
That verse always makes me think of self-destruction, especially when he sings about peeling off his skin and fucking in the fire. It sounds like he's tempted to just give in completely and be done with it all, but something is holding him back. When he says "...and I do yes I do", it's just an affirmation of how he's feeling.
