| New NIN shirts in two weeks |
|
GregGaz from the online magazine, Sick Among the Pure says that the Weathermen will be receiving new nine inch nails t-shirt merchandise in two weeks, but there is no information as of yet to what they will look like or feature... |
| Halo Thirteen debuts at #3 in America |
| The new nine inch nails single, "The Day The World Went
Away," will be at the #3 spot next week on the Soundscan Singles Chart.
In Canada the single will debut at #1, outselling all it's competitors
8 to 1! During it's first week in release Halo 13 sold 71,150 copies in
the US and 10,440 in Canada. And Trent thinks this album won't be a financial
success? Over 80,000 singles sold in a week, without a video and only
one week of radio airplay...Seems like a success to me.
For more info click here. |
| More AP Information |
| It seems that only the people who are subscribed to AP magazine can get copies yet. I have searched around the local magazine shops and they haven't received the issue yet, and it seems that way all over the country. On another note, Reznor mentions a lyric in the song "Somewhat Damaged." The lyric "This machine is obsolete" is all that is said in the interview. So far the bleakness of previous Nails albums seems to be present in the lyrics of this album too. That's a good thing. |
| 07.27.99 |
| Interview with Reznor in AP magazine |
| There is an interview with Trent Reznor in the latest
issue of AP magazine in which he talks about the new album, Tapeworm and
some of the songs are reviewed by the interviewer.
The songs "Somewhat Damaged", "Into The Void", "Day the World Went Away", "Starfuckers" and instrumental songs such as: "La Mer", "Pilgrammage" and "Ripe". Trent discusses the tour and the Tapeworm project which is to include Maynard James Keenan. I know theres some big fans of his that are very excited to hear this. "Ripe" is described as an instrumental acoustic masterpiece that "picks
up where Pink Floyds 'Interstellar Overdrive' left off". "Into the Void"
is very spacey, and definitely not a Sabbath cover. La Mer sounds like
it will be as beautiful as the classical song of the same name. "Stark
piano and bass are attacked by loud beboppy beats before a dense but
peaceful noise turns everything vaguely oceanic. " |

| Trent on cover of AP magazine |
| SLS News has posted the cover of the new AP magazine with Trent Reznor on it. Hes got short hair and looks as disturbed as ever. Woohoo! |
| Woodstock tidbit |
| This isn't a proven fact, but out of all the t-shirts I saw kids wearing there, there were more NIN shirts than any other band. |
| Confirmation from Nothing |
| Nothing Records has informed us that ALL of the scans, mp3s and emails on Trake Adams' site are indeed FAKE, as we claimed earlier. Hopefully this should put an end to all this hysteria surrounding Trake Adams and his "leaks." Much ado about nothing, ehh? |
| Another chapter in the Trake story |
| While chatting on #nin99, some interesting points were
brought up by various channel visitors about Trake Adams' site and supposed
"new" NIN audio.
In regards to Trake's statements about Evan Moore here,
[Dizzy], of www.thefragile.com , had this to say:"it's all bullshit,
I used to be Evan's partner 2 years ago, and all that shit was made
up Evan didn't have a news page up before, it was just a regular site
with news, once in a while" |
| 07.25.99 |
| Trake Adams speaks out |
| Trake Adams, the man behind last night's "leaks," has
posted a response to the claims by SLS
News and others that he is pulling a hoax. Suprisingly, Trake is sticking
to his story:
It has come to the attention of Trake Adams, which would be myself, that Evan Moore of Seems Like Salvation News, is trying wholeheartedly to debunk my efforts to bring what the fans of Nine Inch Nails request. This is a terrible travesty due to the fact that all of what is included here is, and in fact always will be, the real deal. All the things on this page exist. But harsh 'heretics' trying to debunk my efforts to inform the fans is utter blasphemy in my mind because I not only have hard evidence, I also have more proof I am the real deal and this will be revealed soon. If Evan Moore wants to prove me incorrect, he can try, but nothing short of showing everyone 'The Fragile' cover, and the full versions (only the clips are here) of La Mer and Into The Void will make them believe him. So I implore him to show me wrong. But he won't be able to. That is all I have to say regarding this matter. Trake also posted a FAQ here to answer all the questions he has received... I would take all of this for what it is worth, which seems to be just about nothing. |
| More leaks?! Or maybe not... |
| Well, strange things have started back up it seems!
Tonight in the #nin99 channel we discovered, thanks to milk, a
site by the name of "Trake Adams" located here.
At midnight the site updated with what SEEMS to be scans of The Fragile
album cover, along with two audio clips. One supposedly of "La Mer" and
the other "Into The Void." Also on the page was a screenshot of a hotmail
email account and a supposed email from nothing@nothingrecords.com telling
him to remove other mp3s from his site.
First of all, the general consensus is that the clips and pictures on this site are FAKE - but we really have no definant proof either way. Below I have provided links so you can view these new "supposed" leaks or you can go to the "Trake Adams" page here and see if the files are still availible... - La Mer Clip - 39
secs, bad quality Remember, these most likely are ALL FAKE! So if that's what they offically turn out to be, don't blame us. We will try to get confirmation on this soon... One more note: The "Trake Adams" site is run by someguy called DocStupid, who posts and writes over at the eNd nin news page. Strange. |
| 07.24.99 |
| TVT to sell NIN online... |
| According to Sonicnet.com,
TVT records will be selling Nine Inch Nails recordings through the internet...here
is the story:
NIN, Sevendust Songs To Be Sold By Download Singles and albums from industrial, techno and metal artists such as Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Sevendust and hip-hop artists including DJ Hurricane and Speech will be available for sale by download in September. TVT Records, which owns recordings by all those bands, recently signed an agreement with Reciprocal, a technology company that manages royalties for Internet distribution. The music will be available in both Microsoft Audio 4.0 and InterTrust formats, both of which use security measures to guard against widespread copying, according to a joint statement from TVT and Reciprocal. |

| Nine Inch Nails WILL tour in 99 |
| Contrary to the news that was posted on 7/22, we received word today that rumours that NIN will not be touring this year are false. It will soon be time to polish up the ole dancing boots again... |
| 07.23.99 |
| New NIN sales @ Best Buy |
| I called the Best Buy Regional Sales Manager today to get information on how well the new single is doing and its thumbs up for NIN. Though unable to give exact numbers he says the single is above projected sales and doing "very well". For all you lucky people that recieved the single for $ .99 this week, keep it up! |
| New NIN Hits Radio Charts |
| As we all know, both new songs off of Halo 13 have been getting serious airplay across the country in the last week. Now we know how much, thanks to RockNews.com. In their latest radio charts, which are based upon the number of stations the song was added to, Starfucker's Inc. was ranked #2 and The Day The World Went Away was #4. Pretty good for a couple songs that weren't supposed to be played on the radio anyway... You can view the full chart here. |
| Completing the registration |
| Yesterday at about 7:30pm est people started to recieve e-mails from the webmaster of nin.com. The e-mails contained a passcode to insert to complete your registration. If you have not yet registered go to www.nin.com and submit your e-mail and wait for your passcode :) |
| 07.22.99 |
| No tour this year! |
| RollingStone.com is reporting that Nine Inch Nails will not tour this year after the release of The Fragile. This contradicts earlier reports of a NIN tour scheduled later this year...Now it looks like we will be waiting till 2000 for the live show. To read the full RollingStone.com article, click here. |
| 07.21.99 |
| Marketing to match the hype machine |
| Brilliant. If you want the complete Halo 13 experience, you hardcore collectors, you must have all three formats. For on the cassette version of Starfuckers, Inc., the crowd chants "Nine Inch Nails" after the Kiss sample. On the CD, music is played after Kiss. The Vinyl lacks Starfuckers, Inc., altogether but instead has the dancey Porter Ricks remix of TDTWWA. |
| Halo 13 selling well |
| The Day The World Went Away is selling well throughout the country. It was officially released yesterday though people have been getting it early, and many people have had the leaked mp3s for a few days. Personally, the local Hot Topic store sold out of it on the first day and Starfuckers has been #1 on WXRKs Countdown since they started playing it. |
| 07.20.99 |
| Registration information and a litle pic |
| At 7:10pm EST nin.com opened up a page requesting information for what seems like a message board registration, asking that you use a real e-mail address. Big thumbs down to whoever registered the nickname Leviathant, cuz it's not Matt Dunphy. Anyway, judging by the name of the following script, this is for a bulliten board system. |
| nin.com returns... sort of |
| nin.com has returned, somewhat...the flickering NIN logo now leads to the cover for halo 13. The familiar rumbling drone is back... but the picture goes nowhere. |
| UK Release Date for the Fragile |
| Music Week in the UK reports that the new NIN album will be released in the UK on September 6th. Confirmation on this anyone? And if so, what's the US release date? |
| New NIN site opening |
| NineInchNailsNews.Com has opened today, its run by our friend Kall11 and is a very nice NIN news site. |
| nin.com, part two (or, the day nin.com went away) |
| At midnight EST, on 7/20/99 all the links on nin.com
disappeared. Even the old URLs you type in by hand won't work. Round two
anyone?
Oh, yeah, and in case you -didn't know-, THE DAY THE WORLD WENT AWAY has been released in the US. Some people have reported getting it early from Weathermen Records, but today's the official release date. So get going! Get to your record stores now!!! |

| Lyric correction |
| The lyrics said in Starfuckers seem to be slightly different then the ones posted on nin.com weeks ago. The lyrics said sound like "my god POUTS on the cover of the magazines" instead of "my god is on the cover of the magazine" |
| Halo 13 arrives in stores today |
| Halo 13 should be sitting in your local CD store by now. If I were you, I'd go to your local store and see if they might sell it a bit early. |

| Various Halo 14 rumors |
| While on the eve of the release of the first new nine inch nails single in years, rumors have already sprung up about the next single. The August 10th released date for Halo 14 is still being floated around, but no proof has surfaced yet. Earlier in the day the eNd reported that Evan Moore from SLS News had confirmed that Halo 14 would be "La Mer", but later Evan denied the report. We will try to get some real answers about the next single as soon as possible. |
| 07.16.99 |

| Don't trust everything you read |
| A fellow named repeated came into chat and posted a link to CD Europe, claiming you can order the Jap import of the Fragile. To which MYC said "They lie like fucks. They've ripped me off four times." And everyone else said "It just got submitted, you can't possibly order it yet." More people continued to denounce cdeurope.com, who posted the release date of the double album as 3/18/27[sic] |
| The Day the Mystery Went Away |
| According to Check out this link for an interesting theory about the nin.com grid. Good thinking John Yuschak! |

| According to the eNd the next nine inch nails single will be released only three weeks after TDTWWA!! Supposedly Halo 14 will be in stores on Tuesday August 10! There is still no offical word on what the single will be or if this release date is correct. More later |

| TDTWWA (Quiet) on the radio? |
| According to #nin99 visitor lumocolor, 102.1 The Edge in Toronto has played the quiet version of TDTWWA! The track is longer than the original version, clocking in at over 6 mins...No word on how The Edge got ahold of the song, since the promo sent to radio only included the reg version of TDTWWA and Starfuckers. Most likely they have received a copy of the retail single that comes this Tuesday. The song will be replayed at 3:20 am, EST |

On a side note, nothingstudios.com is located at 4500 Magazine St. in New Orleans, according to the WHOIS Database. This location is only two miles from Trent's house on Coliseum St.. |
| 13 more seconds of "Metal"?! |
| You heard me right...during a visit to #nin99 last night Evan Moore from SLS stated that there is an mp3 of "Metal" with 13 more seconds than the original 43 second leaked clip! While Evan says he has the expanded clip, he was unable to give it to us. So for now we have to settle for the orginal clip, availible here. |
