We already know you’re having a party for Halloween. We know you’ve covered your home in spider webs, candles, blacklight-reactant posters and ghouley, ghosty things from Rite Aid. Before you do anything else brilliant, we’re here to make extra sure you’re prepared to give your guests the creep fest they’re looking for ... read more |

Rather than allowing download sites to hand out their songs to the masses, they’re doing it with real, live street musicians. It’s like a free Internet song giveaway, but cooler because the songs are performed live, and by random hobos. If free downloads became such a successful trend, I definitely hope this does, too ... read more |

A Nine Inch Nails show should be on every concertgoers itinerary. I'm not just saying that because I fall in love with nearly every piece of music Trent Reznor produces. OK I am. But speaking from as objective a viewpoint as I can, the kind of concert Nine Inch Nails creates not only requires stamina and pretentious adoration, it kind of demands it. ... read more |

In case you’re Tom Hanks (3) in the Saturday Night Live Mr. Short Term Memory sketches or just new to the magic of Cinema Blend Music, I’ll give you a little run down of how this article works. I was at Lollapalooza all weekend. You probably weren’t. Therefore, since I’m an affable sort of guy, I’ll fill you in about all the goings on ... read more |

The names of the murder victims are in the lyrics. “Edward, see those alluring lights? / Tonight will be your very last night.” The song isn’t about the killings themselves, either -- it is actually sung from the voice of the dead children, assuring the killers that they will never rest. Hence its menacing chill ... read more |

I become violently engrossed in everything Trent Reznor touches. I’ve never come to a concise understanding as to the why of this conundrum, it just is. It has been this way since discovering the brown film from my all-black Pretty Hate Machine cassette tape had come completely undone ... read more |

Trent Reznor and the rest of whose behind the Nine Inch Nails stronghold continue their streak of sabotaging the music industry as we know it. An official update on nin.com yesterday revealed pre-sale information for tickets for the upcoming U.S. summer tour offering the best seats only to fans who register at the site before they go on sale to the general public ... read more |

Basic entry level passes are currently running one hundred and seventy-five dollars, with VIP admission clocking in at a cool four fifty. I’d normally say skip it, but this VIP tag just might give you a better chance at getting into Moby’s electronica set. Hand me a pacifier. I need to get my dance on ... read more |

Trent Reznor must love surprises. First the Nine Inch Nails mastermind released 36-track instrumental compilation Ghosts I-IV out of the blue and now, without warning, he has temporarily pacified eager fans impatiently pleading for new material with surprise single "Discipline", yesterday ... read more |

Radiohead’s tour path will start August 1st in Chicaga-palooza, where they meet up with fellow Internet-jockeys Nine Inch Nails, and where slaps will doubtless be thrown. The band and its entourage of rabid taggers-along will continue throughout the Midwest and northern states, venturing into the great white north of Canada ... read more |

As far as I know, NIN is the only major band that has made available this many free broken-down versions of songs for fans to play with on their own. So on Tuesday, when I received an email from the Radiohead newsletter about fans being able to remix “Nude” I thought it was an April Fool’s joke, though not as good as the text that morning about Britney Spears committing suicide ... read more |

The album, which went downloadable on March 3 and is slated for physical release in early April, was deliberately left without descriptive song titles, picturesque packaging, or any other visual cues that might taint listeners’ perceptions. This leaves as close to a blank slate as possible to work with, Reznor explained in a statement posted on NIN’s official page ... read more |

If you are willing to both haul yourself to the pastoral Pemberton, as well as shell out the whopping $239 dollars to shake your ass to Jay-Z and then act mystifyingly bored during Death Cab For Cutie, the Pemberton Festival will quite possibly be the niftiest place to be this summer ... read more |

Below is an article about an artist who released an album, sans record label, that doesn’t compare them to Radiohead. Although I went so gaga for the band that Ok Computer mechanically fused itself to the tape deck of my electric red Chevy Beretta, I’m getting slightly annoyed they are mentioned in nearly every report about artists who show any inkling of delving into the digital music world ... read more |

There might be a future in this whole internet downloading thing. Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor announced the album Ghosts I-IV was downloaded approximately eight hundred thousand times, a grouping of transactions which netted the band over a million and a half dollars. Not too bad for a hastily thrown together disc without vocals ... read more |
