in my beautiful country of Poland we don't get NIN singles very often. so you can imagine my surprise when i spotted witt single yesterday at the music store !!! (November 29). it is halo fifteen and it says: 1. we're in this together 2. complications of the flesh 3. the perfect drug

...Trent Reznor on the cover of new RAYGUN magazine.Inside there is a three-page article that frankly doesn't say any more than what we already knew...

The Fragile is, in comparison, noir in extremis, a two-disc misery banquet-103 minutes of NIN's Trent Reznor roasting himself on a spit-that makes 1994's The Downward Spiral seem like a bad-hair-day's work. But Reznor is a sly narcissist, rarely boring you with the intimate details of his angst...

We just got word from the UK distributers that the cd's will arrive in the customs offices here on Friday 11-26-99. We got complete fill on all three parts which means that they are all going to arrive all at once, not one at a time like some 2 parters we have sold in the past. The cd's will be at Weathermen Distribution Tuesday November 30 and will ship to you on the same day Tuesday November 30.

on mtv last night(its the only time they play videos, and good ones at that) i saw a commercial for mtv's little december thing......it said they would show one new video everyday in december....well, while running down the list of bands that was flashing through the screen i noticed one of them was nine inch nails

Many have had their doubts if Nine Inch Nails' new album, The Fragile, would work as well live as on CD, but Friday (Nov. 19)'s show at Colosseum in Munich, Germany put those naysayers to rest.

Reznor's first words to the audience at the beginning of "March of the Pigs," the third song of the evening. He greeted the crowd with "Hello, you German pigs!" No doubt intended as a witticism...

Lyrically, The Fragile revisits much of the same ideas of betrayal and darkness as The Downward Spiral. Hushed one minute and explosive the next, spite and anger intermix with heartbreaking resignation, sometimes in the course of one song...

NIN's Trent Reznor Opens Up Just As His Tour Does

NIN Deliver Aggressive Live Show

the intro was pinion and that they also played gave up... Anyway excellent show even without support band. It's a shame that ATR didn't play. That's because they played milan a week ago in a small club.

I was reading Gear magazine the latest issue and one of the articles was The 100 Greatest Albums of the Century. I found that NIN had placed the #92 spot with Pretty Hate Machine. The article noted that PHM was released in 1989, sold 2million copys(domestic I believe)and peaked at position 75. The list which was headed by the Beatles*Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band* was compiled by over 300 major musicians, record producers and others. I thought it was nice to see a list with PHM on it instead of TDS.

An MTV special entitled "MTV's Music Myths and Mysteries", played a clip on the myths surrounding Trent Reznor and Tori Amos. I was lucky enough to pop a tape in the VCR and hit Record just in time to catch this clip, which I have captured and encoded into Real Video format.

Also, we are looking for advertisers, sponsors, whatever, who'd like their name in a banner at the top of our news page, which gets 12,000-19,000 hits daily. Rates are as low as $75 a week, which is fantastic for that kind of exposure. Compare that to newspaper advertising rates and you'd be insane not to sign up here :b We wouldn't be asking for money if it wasn't required to keep the page running :(

Also, do you know any NIN fans that run ISPs that could help us out on rates for a dedicated server, or hosting with unlimited bandwidth? Contact me ASAP if you or someone you know can help us in the hosting department.

Finally, if you have any other ideas to help us out, care to make a donation, or have your own troubles and need to talk about em, my inbox is always open. Thanks, and don't worry, after all we've undergone, we will keep on ;) And now your regularly scheduled programming;

Here's a cute little blurb about Trent Reznor on the website for Focus on the Family, a conservative group that claims to be "Dedicated to the preservation of the home." On their site, there is a section called Parent's Place that tells you how you should raise your children to be god-fearing Christians. In the teen section, there's an article called Bad Theology Tops the Charts which mentions both Manson and NIN. Here are the relevant bits:

- "I will bury your God in my warm spit," shrieks androgynous shock-rocker Marilyn Manson on his recent album, Antichrist Superstar. Elsewhere on Superstar, he rants, "When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell" and "I went to God just to see/And I was looking at me/... When I'm God everyone dies."

- Manson is just one of a dozen cutting-edge musicians whose work goes beyond mere celebration of depravity; they've used their rock icon status to communicate their hatred for the Almighty. And this new form of music is proving enormously popular. Antichrist Superstar alone has sold in excess of one million copies.

- Trent Reznor, the lead singer for the multi-million-selling rock band Nine Inch Nails, tells his young audience that all biblical teaching is a hoax ("He dreamed a God up and called it Christianity/Your God is dead and no one cares/If there is a hell, I will see you there").

- Teen-oriented magazines provide these rockers a platform to vehemently spread their hatred toward God. "I believe [Christianity] is just one more belief system that's failed," Reznor told one interviewer. Manson, who attended Christian schools before adopting his hermaphroditic, scare-your-parents image, told another, "But I almost have a weird respect for Christianity because I think somebody, somewhere must know that it's complete bull****."

Nine Inch Nails is the biggest name to emerge from the underground world of industrial music. Trent Reznor brought this innovative sound to the masses in 1989 with Pretty Hate Machine, and since has worked prolifically with some of the world's biggest artists and bands. Created by today's most experimental artists and producers, this album is powerful, angry, and most importantly…industrial strength.

Available at record stores or by mail order at CMH, P.O. Box 39439, Los Angeles, CA 90039-0439. The suggested list price is $15.98 for CD.

Marilyn Manson's label boss finally gets around to his own album.

Although he'll never quite dispel the suspicion of charlatan and Emperor's New Clothes that surround him, Trent Reznor deserves at least some of the attention he so craves. Thus, five years after The Downward Spiral, he returns with a sprawling 23-track, 2CD epic. It's let down by Reznor's refusal to trouble himself with melody and by some embarrassing lyrics, either desperate to shock ("When I suck you off, not a drop will go to waste", which is reassuring, if nothing else) or sub-student-common-room ("Smash it apart just for the fuck of it"). Literacy aside, Reznor expertly sculpts his sounds like an electro-grunge Henry Moore and he's used former Pop Will Eat Itself leader Clint Mansel on Starfuckers Inc. He doesn't mention Courtney Love directly, although she might be advised to take a keen interest in the aforementioned Starfuckers Inc.

Review: John Aizlewood © Q Magazine

Due to expected traffic and God's divine intervention to consistently fuck with my life, I was late. I ended up getting there at 7:15. I saw the last two video's, the exhibition seemed to be video work Carson has recently done. The last two videos were the nin teaser on the 1998 mtv VMA and.........the video Carson directed for "The Great Below". The video was needless to say phenominal. It was footage of underwater looking up at the waves flowing on the surface, some were inside the wave itself, while others were of coral and odd sea life. It completely complimented the song and the editing was done to perfection. The color direction is that of water scale, from dull blues to deep purples. Never once is reznor seen through out the video. Carson notes that when Trent asked him to direct it, he wanted it to depict drowning, "pleasant.....not like a painful terrifying ordeal, but some that amazes you" or something to that extent.
