new album theme
from mtv news: Trent Reznor Looking For New Album Sounds

Trent Reznor, aka Nine Inch Nails, has told a Finnish magazine that his next album is going to utilize a variety of vocalists, musicians and exotic instruments.

Reznor, notoriously tight-lipped about his works in progress in the past, told Soundi magazine that he's gathered pieces from different styles over the last few years and that he's trying to find a way to mix them. The discussion with Reznor was part of an article centered on the use of computers in writing and recording music.

Previously on the NIN tip, guitarist Adrian Belew told fans that he had been in the studio with Reznor in February and had laid down guitar work for roughly 14 songs or song fragments. There were no vocals at that point.

Meanwhile, net sources contacting Interscope have been told the album tentatively scheduled for release in November. Previous reports say the working title is "The Fragile." Reznor's publicity firm declined to comment other than to say they could not confirm any of the information.

In related news, former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna is close to signing a deal with Almo Records for his new band, Tweaker. Vrenna's latest studio project is sessions with Alanis Morissette. He's recently worked with Green Day, Seal and Hole, among others. <thanks ssobel@uiuc.edu steve>

vibert on new album?
from www.brainwashed.com's luke vibert (plug, wagonchrist) site: Second, and more interesting, is news from my Nothing Records spy. Trent Reznor has been thinking about bringing Luke to the Nothing studios in New Orleans to do some programming for the new NIN album. Even more interesting than that is the fact that Reznor had originally wanted to enlist the help of Tom Jenkinson [Squarepusher], but changed his mind when he heard through the grapevine that Tom's a "flake." <thanks dwarner@cs.oberlin.edu Dave>

seems they caught the person responsible for the hacking of trent's aol account, mtrez. from new orleans times-picayune: Woman used online account, credit card of rocker, cops say by Pamela Coyle, staff writer

Trent Reznor, leader of the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, alternative culture icon and Garden District resident, may want to stick to communicating the old-fashioned way.

A Georgia woman was booked this week with fraudulently accessing Reznor's account with America Online, the nation's largest commercial online service.

Amber Appelbaum, 22, obtained Reznor's secret password by calling the online service's billing department and claiming she was his wife, according to the arrest warrant application.

>From there, Appelbaum used the secret password and Reznor's screen name, "MT Rez," to gain access to the Internet, the warrant says. Appelbaum was booked with computer fraud, access device fraud and making harassing phone calls to Reznor. She also allegedly charged nine long-distance phone calls to one of Reznor's credit cards, according to court papers.

A spokeswoman for AOL said the company is cooperating with the New Orleans police investigation and could not comment on what the suspect told AOL employee.

"This appears to be a case of an obsessive fan who committed fraud against AOL and Mr. Reznor," spokeswoman Patricia Primrose said.

AOL has come under fire in recent months for other cases in which customer service representatives released confidential information.

Sailor Timothy R. McVeigh was disciplined after the Navy linked him to an anonymous "profile page" posted on AOL in which a "Tim" from Honolulu expressed a sexual interest in young men and used the online name "BOYSRCH."

A company representative confirmed to Navy investigators the full name of the customer. America Online acknowledged the employee violated in-house rules about disclosure.

Most recently, a computer hacker stole a subscriber's password, allowing him to vandalize the American Civil Liberties Union's site on AOL's service.

A person pretending to be a subscriber called AOL's customer service and asked to change the subscriber's password. Though AOL requires several pieces of personal information to change a password, a customer-service employee allowed the caller to change it without some of that information, an AOL spokeswoman said.

The new age of communications has spawned problems before for Reznor. The singer, who made Time magazine's list of 25 most influential people in America last year, faces a federal lawsuit in California for allegedly stealing songs from a man he met online.

Through a spokeswoman, Reznor declined to comment on the charges against Appelbaum.

Appelbaum, who was arrested Monday and released on her own recognizance Wednesday, declined to discuss the case.

"I can't wait until this is over," she said. "I didn't do it. All I want is to go home to Atlanta to be with my family."

Appelbaum and her husband planned to move back to Georgia today, but those plans are on hold while the case is pending. The district attorney's office is reviewing the case.

Reznor, who also owns a Magazine Street recording studio, apparently hired a private investigator to look into problems with his account. The investigator shared information with the New Orleans Police Department, according to the court records. They interviewed another woman, who told them Appelbaum used her computer to access Reznor's account.
