I JUST HOPE THAT NIN|JA PLAY IN MEXICO CITY, IM SURE THAT BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERTS IN THIS YEAR, ¡¡¡¡COME ON NIN!!! JUST ONE DATE!!, JANES ADDICTON, STREET SWEEPER

Speaking of studio performances. I was on you-tube the other day and saw a recording of "Something I can never have". I remember when I first heard the still album,it was like hearing music for the very first time, I don't think I had ever felt that swept up in someone's work in my whole life. Every song on that album struck me like lighting.The first time I heard The Becoming, and, The Day The Whole World Went Away, will forever be musical experiences I'll never forget,it had unlocked something big inside of me. I felt like I had found the connection of music that I had always wanted,but never been pointed in the right direction to find before.And after that I became determined to find it, searching and working all the time to find more. I explored a lot of your work, but even still, I needed more so I went further and started to develop my own compositions; basically a lot of classical training ensued.I'm trying now to play around with the computer we'll see how that goes,it's a lot of fun but pricey. You've inspired a lot if not most of my music and art.I originally started private lessons, theory and composition because of you and Tori Amos,and from there it's grown unreasonably out of hand. So even though I've thrown about 120 dollars a month out towards piano and writing/ composing for the past 3 years, (when I should just focus on my degree- which by the way has nothing to do with music),it has been my complete breather when everything else is down or if I have something I have to express. Magically, that seems to be often these days, but at least now there positive things. Being the nerd I am I have even recently thought of creating a nocturne for Obama, my husband teases me quite a bit for it. And admittedly I known it sounds silly but what can I say the guy's my hero and I'm sure that's fitting for a prelude or nocturne. I'm going on a bit much,-ugh. But I can't begin to explain how amazing that album was to me. And how your music became the beginning of my obsession for, not just yours but all kinds of music.

To name a few you inadvertently led me to-Chopin, Meshian, Scriabin, Monk,Jelly roll and Chick you know I could go on and on,and that's just piano. There's this one piece in particular I'm determined to play someday, that's a Chopin nocturne,that is way, way, beyond my playing abilities for Vampire Hunter D, it just reminds me of him, I did say I was a nerd. I'm not even getting a chance to explain my fanaticism 'bout modern day artist like, Jon Brion or Yoko Kano or a new favorite love of mine Nujabes. And I always appreciate everything new you suggest. If only I could see Crystal Castles and Daff punk preform together! That would be a chance to dance all night! I loved Ghost so much, and every time I paint I use that album. It is a true work of art, it play's in my head like the movements in a classical piece. I know everyone interprets things differently so I'm not sure if it has a story or not I'm just saying what it reminds me of.Is it okay to leave this long of a post?

Okay,-Getting myself back on to the actual topic here. When I saw this you-tube video of "something I can never have", it was you in a small homey looking studio, there were some candle's there, and one other person, I'm not sure who he was, but he was on guitar. And I was wondering if there were any other videos that have been released as a collection or such like it? A performance that always stuck in my head was the 08, tour where you played "Hurt" at red rock's, and it was really emotional. I felt like I had stumbled upon something private. And it felt shocking for me, I'm not sure why, I suppose because there's not a thing anyone can do or say, but there you are singing it (beautifully might I add out loud.)It was like the first time I had heard the still album all over again. And it was the reason I had created so much of my own work, because now when I play my own pieces it feels amazing, breathtaking and painful in the chest, like it's burning to get out,so your to thank for that. Without you what would I have seen in music? Would, t.v. on the radio be there,or Chopin, Monk, or Tori Amos? What would be the things I listened to on the radio or handed between me and other people? Nothing ever passed my hands and stuck like your work. (Nervous giggles and anxiety! That was a lot to write. And say "out loud".-on-line.)

Also I know it's a long shot but I was wondering if you'd ever consider releasing a piano sheet music book, there are a few things online and an album that's all piano based, called "Nine inch nail's: tribute album". But I still have a crappy or well "developing", ear so I can't get it all on my own. Melissa (Morloki,- I think I never spell things right), has a cite called Know the score, but updates only so frequently with the songs. I actually feel pretty shy asking these things, but I've wanted to do my own tribute prelude for so long. Hopefully my post doesn't come off as fanatically insane or invasive. I get a bit anxiety ridden and feel silly about these things, so it's time to just hit the submit button!

Trent, I am serious, forget the NIN jester, you need a sexy hot woman on stage!

Dude!!! "They" are totally using Nine Inch Nails Music in that new Terminator Movie!!! I just saw another preview with Nails music

NINJA!

Pretty cool experience I had the other night.

Lazy Saturday night, a friend came over to visit and we chilled in the dim lit living room with the laptop on the coffee table hooked up to the entertainment center.

We sipped a bit of beer and I even puffed a bit of the green, something I rarely rarely ever do.

We spent about 2 hours just letting ninja2009.com entertain us with the songs and the videos posted. We didn't really talk, just listen and watched.

Covered %100 of what the site has to offer.


All cool.

Nine Inch Nails and Janes Addiction, what a combo...Trent you rock!
