Deconstructing: Trent Reznor’s Legacy
http://stereogum.com/1208041/deconst...es/lead-story/
^^^ An amazing read. My favorite part, though, is the comparison of TR's releases to the writer's own life maturity, as it's exactly my experience, too:
"The Social Network is searching for a job armed with an undergraduate degree."
In lieu of a "NIN fan tributes" thread:
the quietus just retweeted Ned Raggett "Just did a really enjoyable thoughtful interview with @trent _reznor -- the story will appear in the near future in @theQuietus"
looking forward to that! Quietus is great stuff -- thoughtful articles.
Not a real spotting, but I came across this cool looking sign for a coffee shop while browsing Instagram
Ned posted this on Facebook:
"Well that was pretty cool. Just got off the phone with Trent Reznor, doing an interview with him for The Quietus. We talked about HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS in some detail, while he was kind enough to give me the compliment of asking him interesting questions instead of the usual spiel, which is always very cool. At one point he said something like "Three interesting questions in a row, you're throwing me off my game!" Terribly flattering! The interview will be running in the near future."

Interview with the people involved in the Collection movie.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/59825BUG: That reminds me, in the first film, you had some really good sequences set to music. Do you always write to music and do you make the films and hope you can get the music to add in later?
MD: Absolutely, we wrote and shot and edited to Bauhaus in the first one. And we really wanted Depeche Mode in there. And I’ve learned that a soundtrack is something that helps bring the movie close to us as an audience. Everyone has a memory to a song. It was a soundtrack to our life at one point. So it’s cool to take that and riff it across a horrific environment then its giving it that added layer. And I loved that. So in the second one, knowing how good those scenes turned out in the first, I was lucky enough to get some more of those favorite songs of mine in the sequel. In this film, the soundtrack is almost an entire sequel to “The Downward Spiral” from Nine Inch Nails. And we had Charlie Clauser, who worked on that album, guiding the ship. So playing “The Day the World Went Away” works wonderfully in one scene in the film, and we worked for eight or nine weeks just tweaking that song to fit the film and it’s wonderful to see the audience react to it.
Clouser's scores are top notch, so this should be good, even if the director has no idea which albums are which.

Since you made a surprise appearance at Nine Inch Nails' farewell tour, a lot of fans have been hoping that you have secretly been working with Trent Reznor on an album project. Could that materialise in the future?
"Yeah I hope so, we've talked about it a lot. We're almost neighbours now which will obviously make it a lot easier. Before, when I lived in the UK, it was difficult. Plus, he never stops working. I've never known anyone like him.
"He's always doing something. I'm going to see him again in the next week, so hopefully we'll get a moment. He's just finished the new How To Destroy Angels thing, and he's up to his neck in work. It's just about trying to catch him when he's got a quiet few weeks, really. I hope so, it would be great, I'm a real fan."
Not really news, but the TG live album "Heathen Earth" (1980) features "...can the world be as sad as it seems?" on the front cover.
Perhaps Terrible Lie references this.
Or perhaps they both reference a different primary source that I'm too ignorant to know.

6. Johnny Cash
...But in 1997, Cash was diagnosed with a degenerative autonomic disorder, and severe pneumonia in 1998 damaged his lungs and his voice. The albums took an increasingly somber turn, with Cash’s 2002 cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” and its accompanying video drawing particular attention for the way Cash turned a self-destructive, angry song into a mournful epitaph for a misspent life.
The new Foals album was produced by Flood and Alan Moulder
edit: Damn, this was supposed to go in Random NIN Thoughts, sorry.
Definitely old, but interesting spottings. Someone on reddit had posted a link to a story where Charlie Clouser was talking about playing Where Is Everybody? in a live situation. Turns out, he's pretty active on that board, and there are some NIN stories throughout his posts.
You can view his posts here
and here's and interesting story you can read...
Awesome find!
FYI, your 2nd link to all his posts is now an expired search. You can link to the nonexpiring search here: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/searc...nduser&u=80158

trent is in it on keys a few times. Makes me really want to hear what Homme, Dave, and TR could do together.
I really hope the Sound City opens the door to an album release.Because it seems that a lot of talented people are recording stuff in that studio.
So weird to see him refer to NIN like it was someone else's band.

This was the real TR?
I don't trust reddit that much.
Of course it was. https://twitter.com/destroyangels/st...26778949849089
