| Enter to win to see NIN's final dress rehearsals in LA [18:48 EST] |
| The official nine inch nails website opened up a contest. One lucky winner gets two tickets to see Nine Inch Nails play their final dress rehearsal in Los Angeles. Five runner-ups will get a sleek nin.com tshirt (not bad). The downside: you provide your own transportation to the show. Anyhow, best of luck, let us know if you win ;) |

| NIN Hotline Tour Section Updated... [14:31 EST] |
| Our tour section has all the official North American tour dates listed now, with links to the homepages of every venue listed. There's more on the way, as we compile the flyers we've received and put together more goodies for you :) Look for another NIN font release exclusively from the NIN Hotline, coming tonite or this weekend. |

| A clarification on Object [12:24 EST] |
| We've received a few emails asking what the link to Object Merchandise from Nine Inch Nails' official site is all about. If you bought a tour shirt while the band was performing Fragility 1.0, your shirt probably had a patch that looked not unlike the logo at objectmerch.com. From our understanding, Object Merchandise is to Nine Inch Nails now as J Artist Management was to Nine Inch Nails in the past. In the past they've carried merchandise for several nothing artists, such as 12 Rounds and since-departed Meat Beat Manifesto, and also carry merchandise for Atari Teenage Riot, who toured with NIN during Fragility 1.0. So Object's website will likely be a place to order merchandise directly from the source. Keep your eyes peeled... |

| KROCK in New York giving away tickets to a new NY date [13:37 EST] |
| Chris wrote very excitedly to let us know that New York radio station KROCK is giving away tickets to a Nine Inch Nails show on May 9th at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Neither of the current New York dates were on the latest press release, but it's pretty safe to say these are legit. |

| NIN graces Allstar news [13:33 EST] |
| Keith from SmashedUpSanity.com wrote in to mention that Nine Inch Nails grace CDnow's AllStar News, in a story about them playing European festivals. The article notes that this is the first time the band have played festivals. I guess that would be excluding the Big Day Out, Woodstock, two Lollapaloozas... well, anyhow, that's that about that. |

| cdsquare.com sale over - shirts now $12.50 [03:25 EST] |
|
Well, it couldn't last forever. If you got your Fragility 2000 shirt for $11.75, good for you. If you haven't, prices have gone up all of seventy-five cents.
For $12.50, I don't think you can find them cheaper anywhere in the world. Considering these could be selling for $25 on the tour, once it kicks off, take advantage of this bargain offer.
Click here to go straight to cdsquare's NIN page. CDsquare's a bunch of nice guys, I've bought some stuff from em before, and their service is fantastic. And I mean, cripes, look at their prices!
Wanna know what it looks like? Here's some shots Commy from ThePerfectDrug sent us when she picked the shirt up while NIN toured Japan.

| Painful Convictions makes Entertainment Weekly [04:36 EST] |
frail noticed that Painful Convictions, i.e. www.9inchnails.com, made Entertainment Weekly's What to Surf section. On top of a good review, the page got an A-. Way to go Matt Brink!
From the still-beating heart of middle America (Omaha that is) comes...a NIN fan site, courtesy of creator Matthew Brink. Sure, there's no shortage of online Reznor shrines, but few capture the meditative side of music's favorite tormented soul. Fewer still have ever-changing trivia items in the upper right hand corner. All of the basics are here, of course - remixes, downloads, fonts - but the real star is the design: spare, soulful, and, dare we say classy. A-frail also noted something found earlier in the magazine involving NIN; In the same issue, in the mail section, there is a letter from a disgruntled writer chastising EW for stating that no one cared about the Best Alternative category at the grammys. He states, "NIN is still the truest band currently playing and Tori Amos reaches millions of unsugared, aware, and intelligent young women. I weep for popular music. All sugar sweet, no lasting value."So head over to 9inchnails.com and give Matt a pat on the back for the review :) |

| Not-so NIN Shirt [14:33 EST] |
