Its funny, With Teeth for me is one of my top 3 NIN albums, with Pretty Hate Machine & The Slip.. but honestly I haven't had the longstanding love affair for the band that a lot of you have. I was intro'd to PHM in University a couple years before With Teeth came out so I've probably listened to the newer stuff more. I do have TDS & Fragile but haven't really given them a good listen. Add that to the list of things to do this weekend.
I listened to 3/4 of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack last night while wrapping Xmas gifts and I'm still astonished over the level of talent Trent Reznor has with just about all he does.
if you havent already you might wanna take a listen to the social network S/T.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day

i just need to say
In early 2009, Trent Reznor announced that Nine Inch Nails were embarking on a 20th anniversary farewell tour, and the band wrapped the year playing intimate venues like New York's Bowery Ballroom and L.A.'s Wiltern Theatre. "I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while," he said. "After some thought, we decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year."
Since then, Reznor has stayed busy recording with his new band, How to Destroy Angels, writing music for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and scoring The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo with composer Atticus Ross. "It's really been an unexpected, weird ride," Reznor tells Rolling Stone. "I'm grateful to have the opportunity to work. I'm just trying to approach things with integrity and try to find things that are interesting to me."
But Nine Inch Nails fans can now rejoice: Reznor tells Rolling Stone that the band is working on new material. In an interview surrounding Black Ops 2, Reznor was asked about the likelihood of new NIN music. "All signs point to yes," he said. Pressed further, he added, "Yeah, there will be new music. There are some things in the works."
Those "things" could also include live performing again. "Yeah, if it feels right, it's a possibility," he says. "I never said that that wasn't going to happen, just that it couldn't go on as it was. Having a few years doing other things, I've enjoyed [them] and I'm enjoying doing How to Destroy Angels, and there will be a place for stuff that falls in the Nine Inch Nails column of things. It's a different kind of work.
"Stay tuned," he adds. "We'll see what happens here."
First, fans can look forward to new music from How to Destroy Angels, Reznor's band with his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, and Ross. The band will release An Omen EP on November 13th, and Reznor promises a full-length record soon. "It's coming out sometime Quarter One of next year," he says. "Music videos will start to creep out pretty soon. You'll hear about some live performances coming up. That's going to happen next year. We're just trying to have fun and try to give it its best shot for people to actually check it out. And that was one of the main reasons we decided to sign with Columbia."
Reznor says to expect a different sound from their 2010 debut EP. "I just listened to it a few weeks ago for the first time in quite a while. Not to pat my own back, but it sounded better than I remembered it sounding . . . What we've done since then is we've really been working on this record in the background, behind Social Network and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. We've found a cohesion that's not as easily identifiable as the things that made it. It feels like we understand more about what this project is that separates it from various other things that we're up to."
Great news! I knew Trent wouldn't step away from it for long, thank god. I've seen NIN twice, once with Bowie, once with Bauhaus. Their live shows are fantastic, and their live album And All That Could Have Been might be my favorite live album. If that thing doesn't get you pumped up, nothing will.

The only thing more exciting than a new album is a new tour! I agree, their light show is second to none, and it always feels like Trent gives all he's got every time he's up on stage. I can't even express how excited I am about this news.
I have never seen them live.
Rather a chance at that than a new album right now.
I've seen them four times, yet I'm still kicking myself for every local show I skipped. They're that good live. Hopefully you'll get a chance to see them soon.
The 5.1 mixes are done and sound amazing. Alan was the only person who could have possibly done it, and he did not disappoint. There are a couple other elements involved that we want to get right before we put this into production. These involve packaging and additional content. Patience, my friends.
A number of things. Tweaking some things for the HTDA full LP (coming in Spring), helping Josh out on a new QOTSA track, working with Roy, starting rehearsals for two bands.
This week's issue of The New Yorker includes a long profile of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, who has shared some significant news about the projects he's working on. In 2014, Interscope Records will release a compilation of Nine Inch Nails' greatest hits, which will include two new songs. A new Nine Inch Nails record, which Reznor's been hinting at recently, will follow.
Reznor also gave The New Yorker details about his partnership with the Interscope/Dr. Dre-affiliated Beats by Dre enterprise. ("It's probably not what you're expecting!", he said earlier this year.) He's helping to design a new music-streaming service, which is currently being called Daisy, and is set to launch early next year.
The service "uses mathematics to offer suggestions to the listener... [but also] would present choices based partly on suggestions made by connoisseurs, making it a platform in which the machine and the human would collide more intimately."
Comparing Daisy to Spotify, he told The New Yorker, "Here's sixteen million licensed pieces of music,’ they’ve said, but you’re not stumbling into anything. What's missing is a service that adds a layer of intelligent curation."
"That first wave of music presentation which felt magical, the one where the songs are chosen by algorithms that know who you listened to... has begun to feel synthetic."
He described Daisy as being "like having your own guy when you go into the record store, who knows what you like but can also point you down some paths you wouldn't necessarily have encountered."

2014?! Dammit, I was really hoping for summer next year at the latest :(
I'm thinking 2013 will be mostly for HTDA(a new record and maybe a tour). Hopefully 2014 will be all NIN(a new record, tour, best of release and the fragile reissue)
I can't wait. I love anything Trent does but NIN is probably the only band i've never stopped listening to for a period of time for about 20 years (I think this sentence makes sense). Some of the most intense live shows I've ever seen.

Re: the Fragile Remixes:
Someone asked what's next for him: Looks like a NIN tour might just be in the books!
