I started getting into Bowie recently and then discovered that Trent accidentally picked up the melody for A Warm Place from Crystal Japan. Here's a link to the interview [www.youtube.com] which is pretty funny.

here's a link to Bowie's Crystal Japan, in case you have not heard it yet [www.youtube.com]

After hearing these two songs back to back, my love for them both has grown tremendously. What do you guys think? Prefer one version to the other, or like both?

I already linked the interview, it's pretty funny assuming that TDS came out and he didn't even notice until after.

Okay—well maybe not, but yea.

The last two weeks I've felt like I just broke up with somebody from a long serious relationship. Or fell in love with somebody to find that they disappeared.

No I'm not trying to creep anybody out—nor am I an uber TR stalker person. However I find myself frequently checking nin.com or the nin-daily blog for any new news. Any inkling that something new is happening.

No TR is not done making music.
No we haven't heard the last from TR + NIN.
Yes I know we're only a week out from their last performance. I know to give it time.

... however

I want more. I know it's selfish of me to demand and ask for more—however I honestly feel like a part of me is now dead. Yeah that's really heavy and maybe stupid for a few of you to read—but that's how I feel. NIN has created a culture. Maybe some of you would call it a following—but once in a while a certain event or song(s) or situation really has an emotional tie for me. This holds personally true for me with NIN. At least we have hours upon hours of listening/viewing pleasure—and hopefully newly released content to come.

Anyway—back to business.

/patiently waiting anything fresh from TR or hopefully one day NIN.

Peace.

I had really thought we'd have a message from Trent by now. I'm hoping his absence means he's off getting married and honeymooning (without us!), but he's probably still recovering from NINfluenza/H1NIN1.

Yea,those Dual-Discs are cool....i think so too.......but Trent doesn't like the idea of them anymore.I don't think Trent even ''likes'' cd's.CD's will be obsolete pretty soon.............

Ya no-one really liked CD's they where a compressed format. I never heard that trent didnt like Dual-Discs but I guess the question is what will it be then?

Downloadable content?

Cant argue with that.

Call me old-fashioned, but I *like* CDs. I was very happy to learn that The Slip was being released on CD as well as being downloadable--I downloaded it, never unzipped it, and shortly thereafter trotted off to Best Buy to get a numbered copy... I only recently bought an mp3 player because I was going overseas and didn't want to lug a suitcase full of CDs with me.

Call me old fashioned, but I haven't bought a CD in a while. Vinyl is where my money goes.

I'd be right there with you if I still had a turntable...

I buy both, even if it's been vinyl recently. it's just more pleasing to have a 7" than a cd single.

I don't think I've seen vinyl singles since I was in junior high...

...which was before NIN debuted...

CD's will not be obsolete anytime soon. Not everyone owns or even wants an MP3 player.

cds are practically obsolete now, while vinyl sales have only been increasing over the years

people are waking up to the fact that cds are just usually overly compressed, overly loudly mastered digital formats, and that it's not much better than mp3

whereas vinyl is a great analog signal, big art, a collectible

nowadays, and way back when, people know that music should be an experience with a nice big collectible piece of art accompanying it

nin figured it out too

That's a bingo.

"warm fuzz"

i'm talking about wider dynamic range, forced on an album's vinyl master by the sheer physical aspect of the format

you can't have a loudness war master like st anger on vinyl, it will skip. you are forced to use the entire range instead of pushing for sheer loud

as for third, if you mean portishead's "third", that's a great vinyl and i don't really get where "cold" comes into it

oh, I'm not arguing for the cd, just pointing out the drawbacks, if only few, of the vinyl.

I brought up Third because I was able to hear the entirety of the thing on vinyl, mp3, and cd. I simply feel like that is the sort of album that needs to sound as clean as possible. The familiar hiss apparent on vinyl just doesnt suit it. That, I suppose, is boiled down to opinion, and we're just at an impasse.

On another note, I think that Skin Of A Drum (Saul Williams, produced by Trent) is one of my favourite songs now. The lyrics in particular are just so wonderful. Trent, Saul, if either of you read this, job well done.

Am I The only one who feels the same way about The Back Catalog Being owned by those Interscope Bastards
and Not In the Hands of Trent? Does Any One Here Feel The Same Way? Or do my words not matter cause I'm writing silly gibberish?

No... Yes... And, um, no...

heresy002, do you have some spare millions of $$ to help Mr. Reznor buy it all out?
