If you'd like to send some well-wishes, please @reply Trent on Twitter. Or wait until Pink Trent blogs it and shares it on his site and post there.

Is that what the twitter account was re-activated for? To keep the chatter off of the website?

I've never understood what or where or how we are SUPPOSED to do this. For starters, TR didn't tell us about The Event: HER (now-former) bandmate announced it on HER (now-former) band's website. I can't help but wonder how and when TR would have chosen to tell us about this, if ever.

Then the thread containing ten pages almost-universally positive well-wishes was summarily deleted from this forum, sending the message that no, not even in the intensely positive sense is this mentionable on this website. Then TR on twitter asks us not to @reply her about NIN, even while she's tweeting pics of him and her (now former) band-mates are talking about the possibility he might produce their next record and welcoming the new NiN fans to their website. Who is allowed to talk about what where seems scarcely consistent.

Every time someone famous, whoever they are, musician, athlete, politician, anyone, becomes attached, the new paramour ALWAYS gets shit from jealous fans. Always, everywhere, no exceptions. I think by banning the discussion here, it encouraged those abuzz with gossip to make the move to Twitter, where the trolls are almost impossible to contain and presto, TR's Twitter was a casualty of the never-ending battle against Internet Assholes faster then you can call andreaurbanfox a pig.

Now it's resurrected. Ready for round 2? Sure that THIS TIME the unmarked can is not full of worms?

I'm tired of guessing about the rules of engagement. Until we get some further sign of what is or isn't gonna get us in trouble, I will be pretending this unholy resurrection never happened.

Danny posted it...I think he can be called an "official source". And if TR didn't want this talked about then why did he and his now wife go on about it on Twitter? Come on...this is retarded.

Danny_Lohner's twitter seems to have disappeared. EDIT - sorry talking shit, it is dannylohner, and I thought it had an underscore!

Hmm I don't really know how it works in LA but when you get married in the UK you actually have to tell the council so they can announce the date / location of the marriage in a public forum (so people can come in and spill the beans if someone is a bigamist or whatever) - in other words it IS a public event which it should be. I find the whole secrecy thing quite tiresome, I'm kind of curious to see pics, so sue me - EDIT yes, I've now seen some pics but just from a party. Come on Trent do the decent thing and put a post up about it! (well OK after the honeymoon!)

Why should a wedding be public? And why should Trent post here about it? The public doesn't need access to the private lives of individuals, unless it offers a threat to their safety or well being. Trent getting married is his own business, and he has the right to keep any details private.

Nooo - he has recorded new vocals for Zero Sum for a Fringe trailer, that is unviewable outside the US! I imagine Fox will be a bit precious about youtube uploads?

EDIT - found it, thanks to whoever put it on youtube

OF COURSE the grammy's suck ass. They've sucked ever since the nineties when they gave Eric Clapton's acoustic version of "Layla" the grammy for Best Rock Performance over Nirvana's seminal Bullet-that-killed-hair-metal-dead "Smells like Teen Spirit."

Makes me wonder though what would happen if there was a music award that really mattered. Maybe one which other artists vote on, in a transparent process open to the public.

Hey, a girl can dream. I think I'm gonna take that idea to the Music board.

Call me nieve but I think there is a place for awards. Not just in music, but in any artistic endevour, winning an important award can be a land-mark event that raises your profile and your prices.

And I really do think some music is, objectively, better then others. I know taste features heavily, but things like artistic ambition and innovation matter, or should matter.

If Q posts anything relevant to Trent or NIN, I have no problem with people sharing it. If the rumors of her cutting a solo album are true you are more than welcome to make a thread in the Music forum.

Basically, the tenet of "don't be weird about it" applies in this case.

Too late. At least one bitch is already spewing a bunch of hate-filled shit at both of them, primarily on Q's page.

Ignore the haters. They thrive on attention.

There's one thing that's easy in concept, not-so-easy in practice. Pushing buttons is what these people DO.
