All Remixed Up, Don't Know What To Do

Firstly, please accept my most heartfelt apologies for making reference to 311 in the above title. It's the first thing that popped into my head and I'm too lazy to think of something better. Anyway, I just recieved (5 days ago) this official press release from nothing records about the upcoming NIN remix record and I thought I'd pass it along, since you all probably care.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 25, 2000

NINE INCH NAILS CHANGE NAME TO NINEINCHNAILS, ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF NEW REMIX EP

August 25, 2000 - New York - nine inch nails announce today the changing of the band's name to "nineinchnails", and the release of two projects this fall - a remix CD and some live DVD/BETA thing. Entitled "SHIT FUCKING ALL UP", the remix record is slated for a mid-October release and features new remixes with the word "version" tacked onto them and unreleased material with strikingly similar names to songs from nineinchnails' multi-platinum release "THE FRAGILE." The as-yet-untitled live DVD/BETA thing is scheduled for a November release and features mostly footage of an inebriated Leo Herrera hitting on girls backstage during nineinchnails' visually groundbreaking? "Fragility v2.0" concert tour. Both projects were produced by nineinchnails' Leo Herrera.

The band's official website, www.nin.com, will feature exclusive vague hints and information about the remix record and DVD/BETA leading up to their release. The site currently offers a comprehensive archive of blinking squares and shapeshifting blobs as well as a Fragility tour archive that hasn't been updated since the Reagan administration, and some streaming stuff.

nineinchnails recently received a nomination for a 2000 MTV Video Music Award in the "Best Video Featuring Disturbing Close-Ups of Trent Reznor" category for "Into The Void". The track is the second single released from nineinchnails' Meathead-acclaimed CD "THE FRAGILE."

Now, because I'm just Mr. Big Shot With Close Connections To Nothing Records, I've obtained these exclusive scans of the new remix album (pay no attention to the ones at nin.com, they're just a joke), as well as some other info I dug up.


FRONT!

BACK!

As it turns out, it's not really an EP, since it has 18 damn songs on it. But let's just overlook that. I know you're thinking, "Wow, there's a lot of 'Version's on there!" But there's no need to be worried or frightened. The songs are your friends. They are not there to hurt you. Well, except for Track 10... I wouldn't mess with that one.

Here's the rundown on the various "Starfuckers Inc" remixes:

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [4:34] - Remixed by Charlie Clouser and Trent Reznor at Nothing Studios, New Orleans.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [5:03] - Reconstructed by Keith Hillebrandt at Nothing Studios, New Orleans.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [28:43] - Looped over a boring, repetitive beat by Porter Ricks.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [0:48] - Hummed by Trent Reznor in the shower at Nothing Studios, New Orleans.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [7:14] - Remixed by Meathead in Meathead's Basement.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [4:58] - The original version of Starfuckers Inc. played backwards by Trent Reznor while bored at Nothing Studios, New Orleans.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [2:29] - The original version of Starfuckers Inc. sped up 2x by Rob Sheridan before Trent Reznor came in and smacked him for touching his equipment at Nothing Studios, New Orleans.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) [1:03] - Partial cover by Pearl Jam during one of Eddie Vedder's frequent lapses of coherence.

Starfuckers Inc. (version) (version) [0:11] - Sound clip of Carson Daly talking about "Starsuckers" on MTV while trying to sound like he knows anything about NIN.


Also, this record features NIN's long-awaited cover of the Gary Numan song "Metal" (hint: the 'leaked' track on Napster isn't real, dumb ass). It also featuers the not-so-long-awaited cover of "Like A Virgin" by Madonna.

If you're not excited already, get excited, damn it! This fabulous new CD hits stores in October. If you don't go out and buy it, I will personally track you down and introduce you to a whole new world of pain.
