i also received this note from bruce at weathermen: Just got a call from Interscope records/Nothing Southwest field rep. The New Marilyn Manson video "Dead to the World" and the new Marilyn Manson Cd "remix and repent" have been postponed "indefinetely". The reason given was some kind of dispute between Nothing and Interscope.

Got a call at 6:00 p.m. New York time from Interscope Records. The Marilyn Manson cd "remix and repent" Is going to come out on November 18, 1997 as planned. The video "Dead to the world" is still on hold because they are going to add more things to the video to make it "more bang for the buck" so to speak. We will keep you updated as the news develops.

vh1 awards
the plug remix of 'the perfect drug' was played during the vh1 1997 fashion awards. in addition to that, all their segments before nominee presentations had the imagery of the perfect drug video. also, on fashion television they had an interview with annie ok, one of the models in the video, and showed a brief clip of the video (about the most you'll ever see on vh1). she was the woman who had the "absinthe on a platter" so to speak.

from december 1997 alternative press: From page l3:

In The Studio

Marilyn Manson are in Los Angeles recording their next album for Nothing/Interscope.

From page 36:

Too HOT To Handle

article about notable fighters (also includes The Sex Pistols, MC5 and The Clash)

Nine Inch Nails

Trent Reznor took an extended hiatus from recording after l989's Pretty Hate Machine became a hit, claiming that TVT Records had behaved in bad faith. He finally returned to action three years after the album's release--on his own label, the Interscope- distributed Nothing Records. A TVT logo remained, but NIN had won the game.
