Two utterly random "The Slip" questions that have been on my mind:

1. Has anyone dissected whether the initial, 2-syllable utterance ("Am I..." ) on Discipline was intended or whether TR just mis-fired? I am sure all of the apologists will say, 'Of course he meant it...he's a genius, after all', but every time I hear it I get the unmistakable impression that he just missed his cue. This is not to say that it was subsequently overlooked during the mastering, because that would be plain dumb, but it doesn't strike me as something that a songwriter would deliberately put in there. Maybe it was an oops, but they kept the take going and decided to keep it when they heard it on tape? (Sorry if this is an old topic; I searched and couldn't find any previous discussion.)

Well the song makes me think Trent is asking if he still has it in him to do what he does given that he's gotten older and a lot of things have changed, with my interpretation I would assume it was intentional and was done to show his uncertainty in doing music by "missing his cue" that make sense?

He actually said in an interview that it was a mistake that he made. He got used to it and ended up liking it, so it stayed on! :)

where is that interview? link?

I downloaded both the mp3 and FLAC 24/96 versions, and when I went to play the FLAC 24/96, it definitely wasn't trent reznor's music. Something very... strange...

Can anyone else confirm this?

2. Is anyone else as disturbed as I am that The Slip hasn't sold out? It was a limited edition of 250K individually numbered copies (collectible as hell), but here we are several months later and The Slip is collecting only dust on store shelves, often several copies per site. Yes - I know it was offered for free as a download, but has the venerable CD fallen so far that even the hardcore loyal NIN fans are unwilling to buy it? I don't do MP3's, but even if I did, I still would have bought a physical copy out of principle - and out of respect for and gratitude to my favorite band.

PLEASE DISCUSS AMONGST YOURSELVES. (I'll lurk in the background.)
