24/7 Nine Inch Nails News via News Feed (Verbose Edition) https://www.theninhotline.com The Hotline News Management Interface v20260220 en-us http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1793840587 On the topic of David Fincher films and Netflix, back in February someone updated the IMDB listing for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth to indicate that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were composing music for the film. That's all we had though, and that's not a lot to go off of, so everyone who saw that was more or less holding out for something a little more real. Early in October, a poster appeared online for the film, and film news sites ran with it - only to retract slightly upon Netflix stating that it was a fan-made poster, and not official. This cycle is only going to get worse as generative AI continues to blow up, unfortunately. That brings us to this week, and back to the beginning - IMDB updated with a new poster that for sure is the genuine article . The movie, directed by Fincher and written by Tarantino, will premiere in over 500 IMAX theaters over Thanksgiving, but otherwise has seen very little promotion. Whether that's confidence or arrogance remains to be seen, but maybe we'll get some sweet swag out of this release, too. http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1793839860 I finally watched Mank earlier this year. I wasn't sure what I expected, but I appreciate that Fincher told that story. And I can't help but appreciate that Netflix put a bunch of money into promoting it. The promotion may have been outsized for the film, which dropped in the pre-vaccine COVID lockdown era, which is how I scored the Assouline hardcover "Making Of" book on eBay, along with some promo sheet music, and promo CDs of the score, at prices that didn't make my eyes water. Initially a digital release on Bandcamp, the Mank score was teased on vinyl album as part of a very rare promo run, and eventually a commercially available release of the album on vinyl made it to production in 2023 - arguably a better physical presentation than the promo release. That 3xLP is out of print, and over at BullMoose.com you can get it for half price ($38) if you act quickly . I'm pretty sure that's as cheap as you'll ever see it. Get while the getting is good! http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1787456237 Back in 2018, word got out that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were scoring the film "The Woman In The Window" , a book that had been released that year to high praise and impressive sales. The film product got pushed back a couple of times, and after some changes made in test audiences, the duo bowed out, and Danny Elfman was brought on to score the revised film. Trent told Revolver Mag "It's frustrating when you did that much work and it's gone. And we were proud — and they were proud — of the movie that it was." When Ghosts VI: Locusts was released, fans theorized that it may have been the lost score, under a different name. That speculation has been confirmed, as the man who's been selling NIN demos put an early version of the score up for sale, and once again fans put their money together and have released it into the wild. Click here to listen to seven previously unreleased themes and tracks on YouTube , where it's noted "The tracks on these samplers are considered DEMOS, IMPROVISATIONS, SKETCHES AND ROUGH DRAFTS." And be sure to check out the rest of the channel , which somehow turns 20 this year. http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1785393263 I was recently spelunking through my vast and semi-organized digital archives when I once again came across files I had scraped from nin.net a while ago. If you're old like me, you might remember nin.net as being home to the prototypical Nine Inch Nails fansite . Jason Patterson built it and hosted it out of Florida State University server before landing the nin.net domain, and expanded to an influential news site as well as a zine that published creative writing and links to other NIN related sites. This led to a brief gig working on official websites for nine inch nails and nothing records. While Patterson's vision for the band website never launched publicly, 1996 saw the launch of NothingRecords.com , with little more than a "chat system" called say nothing . By August, the forum was experiencing technical difficulties that it never recovered from, and the site remained "under construction" until 1999, around the time Rob Sheridan joined the NIN collective. As Patterson went on to be a pioneer in mobile applications with his company Conduits , most of the nin.net sites languished. Around two decades ago, I was randomly visiting the site to see if the old news site was back up, and instead of the usual malfunctioning website, my browser showed me a list of file names. Either the site was in the middle of a migration or an upgrade, and the server software, Apache, was ignoring index files and just barfing out all the underlying files. That's what inspired me to grab a copy of news.nin.net, which had been down for years at that point, which Greg from ETS helped rehydrate into a reorganized variation on the site , but I also came across a file called nrchatfull.txt - and to my surprise, opening this file revealed that it was a primitive data file with posts from "say nothing" By this time, I was writing code for a living, and it had stopped being fun to write code for hobby stuff, so I never got around to doing anything with that file. But stumbling upon it again last month, and noting the age of the content, I thought it would be interesting to feed into Google Antigravity (I know, I know) - instructing it "There is a file in this folder that contains the archived data of an old forum. I would like to generate a static website based on this information, in the style of a web forum. It should be a minimal site that works on mobile and desktop" and before I knew it, I was looking at a reconstituted forum from three decades ago. I made a few visual tweaks, and small accommodations for lost data, and decided to host this archive of the forum, launching today, exactly 30 years after the first posts captured in this archive. I believe there were earlier posts than these, but they're forever lost. Without further ado - click here to visit the archive of Say Nothing for a brief snapshot of one of the earliest online nine inch nails communities outside of Usenet. Keep in mind that this microsite is merely a vessel for the content - I don't remember what the forum looked like, and I can't find any visual record to compare against. And if you're feeling nostalgic after that, don't forget to visit the web archive at nindestruct.com , where official NIN websites as well as classic NIN fan sites all live on, as if preserved in amber. http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1784173224 On social media, Nine Inch Nails has shared a video clip of what appears to be the Nine Inch Noize record, with the corner label getting replaced with a label that says June 17. There's a Polaroid picture that briefly comes into frame, hinting that each copy of the record might include a unique tour photo. While there are no further details so far, the delay between the digital release and the physical release suggests that these records are pressed and ready to ship. Be ready at noon eastern on June 17, I have to imagine this initial run is going to sell out quickly. http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1781646463 In the US Amazon store, the limited edition white double vinyl Tron: Ares soundtrack is $15 and I think that's as low a price as it's ever going to be. (That's it. That's the update.) http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1781415517 In mid-April, I got a notification that I had a new email in my NIN Hotline email address, and when I saw the sender, it made me feel really happy. The name Keith Duemling should ring a bell if you've ever done a deep dive in the NIN Hotline article archives , or if you're old like me and used to go to SmashedUpSanity.com. I often collaborated online with Keith in my late teens and early 20s, including the launch of NothingRadio.net, a streaming station that only played music from Nothing Records - which showed up in print in both Spin magazine and Shift magazine, and which got me a three-way phone call with NIN's publicist and Ross Rosen, NIN's lawyer. (Totally silly, but it worked out in the end). I even got to hang out with him in Cleveland at the first show of the Fragility Tour. A quarter century ago. It's hard to describe the breadth of what Keith put into motion at SUS. A huge archive of NIN related articles, still hosted here today. An online zine, with multiple contributors submitting poetry, prose, and editorial articles. Newsletters, reviews, lyrics, art, fonts, wallpapers, discographies, chat, and more - it was a powerhouse of a fan site up through the early 00s, but the site slowly faded away, as more important things commanded time once spent on a seemingly never-ending hobby. I'm so delighted that what Keith sent along was a new site, but full of decades of memories. And All That Could Have Been is an experience out of time. When you click or tap through, you enter a gallery of thousands of visual memories, each pausing for a few seconds before you're pulled into some other point in the timeline, at another dimension of the experience. In a century defined by moving fast and breaking things, it's a slow, thoughtful place. And if you've been online since the turn of the century, you might even find a callback to the randomgrid - familiar, but different. I'm so glad to see Keith building again. He makes it look simple, but I also find it reflective and thoughtful. AndAllThatCouldHaveBeen.com http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1781238797 Teddy at Interscope wanted asked if I could let you know that they are blowing out unnumbered Interscope Vinyl Club editions of The Downward Spiral through until the 15th. Seems like something you might be interested in! Maybe you're like me and you have a few copies of The Downward Spiral on vinyl - what makes the IVC version different? Well, it's more or less the definitive edition , but with a different catalog number, and a nice print of a well known Jonathan Rach photo of Trent wrecking a DX7 on stage. At $48 + tax & shipping, even though it doesn't have the x/3000 foil stamp that you'd find on the limited IVC pressing, this is pretty much the last time you'll get a chance to get this particular album at a price this low. And because I'm starved for creative fun-work, I spent about 20 minutes with my Canon and DaVinci resolve and made a little promo clip. I posted it to the NIN Hotline account on Bluesky , on Threads , and I even did a vertical variant for Instagram . http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1781238247 The only reason I haven't posted about the latest Nine Inch Nails record, Nine Inch Noize, is because my hands have been holding my headphones to my head since April 17. Eating has been a challenge, and I have to stay off camera at work, but I've been listening to the album on repeat since it dropped. Longer, if you count the time I spent listening to the audio rip of the Coachella performance. It's all killer, no filler, I don't need to tell you that, you've been listening to it too. P.S. if you'd like a copy on CD, there are counterfeits on eBay , and as of this week, people have reported receiving their copies from this seller - who has been prolific , to say the least. http://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1776262897 If you were hoping for studio versions of what was played at Coachella, I've got excellent news, coming from Brooklyn Vegan . (Consequence, who I credited in a previous version of this post, tagged the news as "Alternative Rock, Rock" and didn't mention a source) According to the quote on BrooklynVegan, "We recorded this album all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy. Listen LOUD.” There's more, but I'm not going to lift everything from BrooklynVegan - they put the work in, because I still think it's important for journalists to get paid, so click through to the link above.
