Potential singles news
We have news from Matthieu Gauthier P., who tells us that his version of With Teat has a sticker that reads:
Includes 13 new tracks. Featuring:
Incluant 13 nouveaux titres avec:
THE HAND THAT FEEDS
ONLY
EVERY DAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME
Typically these stickers have the names of singles from the album, so perhaps "Every Day Is Exactly The Same" will be the third single? Hmm...

The opinion that really counts.
If you're still unsure of whether or not to buy the new NIN album With Teeth this coming Tuesday (or Monday, or... now, depending on where you live), you should know that Fred Durst of seminal rap/rock group Limp Bizkit has given it the official "thumbs up" on his website!
whatever your plans are for your next music purchase be sure to make the NINE INCH NAILS [WITH TEETH] cd/dvd your priority. it is absolutely fantastic. trent reznor is and will always be a force of genuine inspiration. he has never let me down. do yourself a favor and get this cd NOW!!!!!!
How much more convincing could anyone possibly need? Thanks Karen.

Coachella Specifics
Nine Inch Nails will be playing at 9pm on Sunday, May 1st at the Coachella festival. While they are listed as the headlining act by many sources, it appears that Blackstar (Talib Kweli and Mos Def) are playing after Nine Inch Nails.
The entire schedule has been released for the weekend. It's got to be a little disappointing as The Faint, Roni Size and The Blood Brothers are playing at the same time as Nine Inch Nails. But, New Order is playing right before Nine Inch Nails, and New Order is pretty awesome. Check out the entire schedule here.
Thanks Evil Daffodil.

I only really posted this because all the other Hotliners have been beating me to it lately. The review is rather scathing and insulting, yet the album was given a rather good score (go figure).

NIN is losing to Elvis Presley in the UK charts.
If you're living in the United Kingdom and haven't picked up the single, please try to before Sunday, even if you're just buying it from iTunes (or MSN's UK music shop, or Napster UK, the Island Records download shop, or whatever) because it would kind of suck to lose out to a guy who's been dead for several decades.
Also, several people have reported that the single for The Hand That Feeds has been marked as deleted in HMV computers... all these special versions are for the first two weeks only, and were a one-off batch. After they're sold out, the two-track slimline CD single will be the only version available.
At the midweeks, The Hand That Feeds was at #3, behind some twat who's been on the charts for ages, and with an Elvis Presley song at #1. It'd be really cool if we could make the last stretch there, and foil this absurdity! Apologies to the Digital Noise crew, heehee.

This week, about 2,000 people in the UK received a free box for collecting the singles off With Teeth, which, according to the letter included with said box, will all be released on 9" vinyl. If you're interested, Pointless has set up a webpage where you can tell the world what number you got.

NIN live on Radio One.
Live performances from NIN are set to appear on Zane Lowe's Wednesday radio show on Radio One (the information is only being shown on that weird moving ticker bar near the top of the website page) which airs between 6 and 10pm (UK time).
If you're not familiar with Radio One, you can find information here about listening online. If you're in the UK you can, of course, just tune in via digital or FM radio.
Thanks to robw for starting a thread on echoingthesound about this.

Here's a choice portion:
"My manager, who I worked with for almost 20 years, had gutted me like a Christmas goose, and to realize that hurt like hell. I always thought something like that couldn't happen to me. But now I'm exactly the dumb rock star I had always laughed at - I let myself get thoroughly fucked over and even politely said thanks."

Exclusive: Carré Callaway Interview
Over the last few weeks, I've had the joy of interviewing Carré Callaway, whom opened for Nine Inch Nails on the first leg of the With Teeth tour.
Most of you had never heard of Carré before the tour, and hopefully this interview will give some of insight into her career and her music. Also discussed for the first time in this interview is Carre's work with Atticus Ross and how she recorded a demo with Trent Reznor.
If you're in the L.A. area, make sure to check out her show at the Whisky A-Go-Go tomorrow night. Check out Carré's Site for a glimpse of her music, tour dates, lyrics, etc. And, oh yeah, you can read the interview here.

The Hand That Feeds released today!
If you didn't know, you must have been living in a box. The first single from With Teeth has been released today, in the UK only*, is called The Hand That Feeds (as seen on cd:uk!) and should be available to purchase in all good music shops from this morning onwards.
I've already bought 4 copies, so I'm expecting everyone else to keep the side up and help get Trent to #1 in the UK charts. Being that this single is only released in this country, and it takes a remarkable low amount of sales to achieve such a position, there's no excuse this time. Happy shopping!
*Update - OK, yes, fine, it's out in Germany too.

Competition 9" vinyl boxes...empty?
A few people have emailed in to tell us that they've received confirmation that they've won some of the promotional campaigns for With Teeth and it seems as if the 9" box of vinyl is actually a 9" vinyl box. That's right, an empty box. Perfect for collecting the vinyl that's due to be released with the singles and the album, but absolutely full of nothing as of yet.
Thanks to the lucky Charley and Oceansize, who both won empty boxes and decided to tell us about it.

nin.com wallpaper and new posters.
The nin.com visuals section just updated with a desktop wallpaper pack of 4 different designs, including one based on the album cover and one looking a lot like that DVD promo that popped up a month or so back. The pack is available in 4 different sizes, from 1042x768 all the way up to 2400x1800.
There will probably be a lot more content popping up on this page in the weeks to come, so keep an eye out.
There are also new posters in the tour section. There will be an individual poster for every show of the tour (except festivals, obviously), like with the warm-up and Astoria gigs, and will be extremely limited edition - I know that the print run for the Astoria posters was 300. Definitely worth framing and hanging on the wall.

NIN at Large
We have received numerous reports of a commercial featuring The Hand That Feeds airing on late night television. Sightings include Comedy Central and Adult Swim (Cartoon Network), and have occurred over the past 3 weeks. Keep an eye out! Thanks to Darkmoogle and everyone else who sent this in.
Chris F. sent us an article from the May issue of Orkus. Unfortunately my German skills are not quite up to some of the more complex constructions. If you have a translation of the article, please drop me a line.
Here is the article.
Some interesting tidbits: TR is basically broke, with nothing left from the touring and records. He hopes for 20 to 30 million dollars in back-payment from Malm. There are some pretty choice words about how he feels he was handled (if I read that right). Also, he was afraid to release an playful 80's synth-pop track like Only because it might not sound tough enough, and people would laugh at him. In fact, the whole "Prince of Darkness" image is basically washed-up, and now, rather than trying to live up to an impossible, dangerously ill and unhappy image, Reznor is doing only what pleases him.
Speaking of Only, we've received a link to what I can only hope is the video for the next single, Only... directed (and possibly produced) by BLu PaTaTo. Warning, it does contain about 45 seconds of the song Only, if you're avoiding spoilers. Perhaps this is why Mr. Reznor was previous afraid of releasing such a song?

Speaking of the GarageBand files...
Hey there, Windows, *NIX, and old Mac users! The raw AIFF files from the The Hand That Feeds GarageBand project are now available via this torrent file.
Unlike the GarageBand project, these AIFF files aren't arranged, and you'll have to find your own program to use them with. If you have no idea where to start, check out Audacity (free) or ACID (free to try with 10 tracks, not free for more). If you want or need to convert them to WAV, I recommend Winamp and its Disk Writer output.
If you need a BitTorrent client, you can find one here. For help with BitTorrent, please read this FAQ. For details about how to extract the files yourself, see this post on ETS. Windows remix advice and questions are here, while you can find some actual remixes of THTF right here!
Stay tuned for more details on the Hotline remix competition!

Remix Contest
Okay, I personally enjoy a good fan remix. The whole reason I started making my first NIN website was to distribute my *really crappy* fan remixes of NIN songs in Screamtracker format.
Now everyone has access to what amounts to a Pro-Tools multitrack dump of The Hand That Feeds, a current single from an album that hasn't been released yet. That's really fucking cool. And I want you to try and do something interesting with those files.
I'll write up something more formal later, but what this will amount to is that in coordination with Echoing the Sound, I'd like to have a remix contest. I'm going to regret it, I know. I'm counting on the community at Echoing the Sound to help filter the good from the bad. I'm thinking of leaving it open for two weeks.
Preliminary first prize will be a 12" promo of The Hand That Feeds, featuring three Photek remixes, and the album version, along with a shiny new With Teeth promo poster, and maybe some stickers. And maybe I can dig up some more stuff.
This is just something to think on at the moment, do not email me about details yet -- just work on making a good remix. And keep an eye out here for more info later.

"Hello all-
For quite some time I've been interested in the idea of allowing you the ability to tinker around with my tracks - to create remixes, experiment, embellish or destroy what's there. I tried a few years ago to do this in shockwave with very limited results.
After spending some quality time sitting in hotel rooms on a press tour, it dawned on me that the technology now exists and is already in the hands of some of you. I got to work experimenting and came up with something I think you'll enjoy.
What I'm giving you in this file is the actual multi-track audio session for "the hand that feeds" in GarageBand format. This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro Tools session we recorded it into. I imported and converted the tracks into AppleLoop format so the size would be reasonable and the tempo flexible.
So...
You need a Macintosh and you need GarageBand 2.0. If you have a newer Mac, you already have the software. The more RAM you have the better. I did this on a PowerBook 1.67 w/ 2G RAM but it has been running on far less powerful systems.
Drag the file over to your hard disk and double click it. Hit the space bar. Listen. Change the tempo. Add new loops. Chop up the vocals. Turn me into a woman. Replay the guitar. Anything you'd like.
I gave this to my crew and band to test out and all work effectively stopped for a while - it's fun to mess around with. I've now heard a country version of the track as well as an abstract Latin interpretation (thanks, Leo).
There are some copyright issues involved, so read the notice that pops up. Giving this away is an experiment. I'm interested to see what comes of it, what issues are raised and what the results are.
Have fun-
Trent Reznor

Official online preordering of With Teeth is available at MusicToday, announced via NIN's MySpace page, of all unholy places. Expect an official website update soon.
Click here to head on over to the pre-order page.
Dualdisc and Standard CDs are available on their own, and also in bundles with WITH_TEETH t-shirts, and a picture disc of The Hand That Feeds. Pretty slick.
Options (All prices in USD):
Standard shipping (arrival on or after the release date) runs 4-10 bucks, depending on what's being shipped. Priority shipping (guaranteed arrival on the release date) runs about double. The presale is being handled by MusicToday, which also did the majority of the club tour presales. Notable: there is no vinyl, there is only CD...
Thanks to Russianguns of ETS and xNoblexWolfx for bringing this to our attention.
UPDATE: The difference in cover color between the standard CD and the Dualdisc is a mistake on the pre-order page, though there will be some subtle differences between the two covers. However, the color of the Standard and Dualdisc cover will be the same, and the page will probably be fixed to reflect this.
Another extra tidbit is that the vinyl picture disc is halo_18 v2, as opposed to the regular vinyl (halo_18 v).
UPDATE 2: Shipping costs updated, and please note that the site says "International Orders Are Not Allowed."

Vote for NIN every god damn where. KTS update.
You may notice that that we have some changing text underneath the navigation now. I haven't put together a nice display for the data, and I haven't made a master list yet, but I have created a database of about 30 radio and tv stations that you can contact and request the new NIN track. The better that The Hand That Feeds does on these things, the more news you're likely to see here, and so forth. It just plain helps. So if you've got some time to kill, and visit this site more than a couple times a day, take some of that free time to vote for The Hand That Feeds in whatever market pops up there.
I'd appreciate it, thanks. Stay tuned this week as we've got an exclusive interview with Carre' Callaway, who opened the first three NIN shows in half a decade, alone on stage with a guitar and an amp. A lot of people have been asking about her, I've heard all kinds of nice things about her, and Paul's actually interviewed her, and I have to put it into a nice layout and post it.
Also, I just sent an email to the winner of the Know the Score contest. I'll be sending emails out to the rest of the folks who entered in the next 24 hours, so I can find out where to send stuff to, and to ask about distributing certain tracks. It was tough narrowing down the finalists, there were some really beautiful entries. From harps to pianos and acoustic guitars, there was definitely more instruments involved than I initially expected to see.

String Tribute to Pretty Hate Machine
Well, I let this one slip through the cracks, whoops. Vitamin Records is releasing a String Tribute to Pretty Hate Machine on April 19th in the US. You can find more information, pre-order for $13.98, as well as MP3 samples at this website. Interestingly enough, there's actually a drum machine keeping time with the quartet this time around, though it's not the same foursome that did the first String Tribute CD. Anyway, check it out, you might like it.

Saul Williams to Open for NIN in Barcelona?
We've recieved numerous reports that Saul Williams will be opening for Nine Inch Nails on June 29th in Barcelona. This was reported by Iguapop's newsletter, and Gamerco.com (beware, heavy flash), a hip hop artist that Trent's been namechecking in interviews (most prominently on the Radio One Rock Show night that he hosted). For those of you who haven't heard Saul yet, he's probably the most prolific "slam poet" around, and a damn good rapper.
However, the Universal Rock site is apparently listing The Dresden Dolls as support. Not quite sure what is going on, as this could all be speculative rumours being posted as fact. But I'm sure we'll find out eventually.
If you're one of the many who still dismiss hip-hop as junk music, listen to him. His Official Web Site does not yet list the Barcelona show, yet he is playing the Rock Werchter festival along with NIN.
Thanks Zina, Oliver, nineinchcat, and Josep. Saturnine also contributed to this writeup.

More on the German Eins Live show
Ingo Schmoll, the host of the KULTKOMPLEX show (which will feature the Trent interview next week) wrote in with some great news. The interview was actually pre-recorded on Thursday, April 7th... Schmoll interviewed Trent for about 45 mintutes and he was friendly and very open. "He told me a lot of intimate stuff so this is gonna be interesting."
The final interview will be dubbed in German and cut into 4 pieces that will be broadcast between 9pm - 10pm. Because I pre-recorded it yesterday, you won't be able to see Trent in the webcam, but here's something special for all the visitors of your site. I will put the whole interview on my web page www.schmollywood.de by the end of next week in two versions with and without German dubbing. The questions will still be German even in the non dubbed version , but all his answers will be undubbed.
Huge thanks to Ingo for going the extra mile there! Stay tuned :)

UPDATE 13:07PM EST: We've received notice that Amazon has discontinued the listing below.

We've moved it to the Saved Items section of your Shopping Cart."
Amazon.co.uk is listing the Japanese import of With Teeth as being available today, and that it ships in two to three days.

Thanks to everyone who has been repeatedly pointing this out, and specifically Christoffer for pointing it out today.

The Provinssi Rock Festival in Finland (which Nine Inch Nails is playing June 19th) has three hi-res publicity pictures on their press page. Two of these are oddly familiar to me...
Enjoy (towards the bottom).
Thanks to Ar5ka for the tip!

Kerrang! Scans
LikkleBaer scanned the photos from the most recent Kerrang magazine article with Trent Reznor in it. I would make thumbnails, but I'm late for my friend's birthday party, so I'll just point you to the news images archive and note that they are the five images listed at the top there. Enjoy!

Listening Party Item Photos
Now that the last listening party is just about underway, I finally got the chance to put some new scans of the listening party freebies online in the With Teeth page linked just above the news here. Thanks to everyone who sent in photos -- especially John Rubke for the wristband, GentleRed for the vinyl labels and the poster, and innerturmoil for the promo banner scan. As I continue to organize the photos and artwork that come in, that page will continue to expand, so check back every now and then to see what's new.

With Teeth ad in AP Magazine
Matt wrote in to mention that there was an ad in the latest AP Magazine. The ad follows in the minimalistic style of the posters that have been put up in various cities -- we'll have scans online, erm, soon.

NYC Avalon Listening Party Update
According to this post on Echoing the Sound, the Avalon is charging a $15 entry fee for the listening party - although it was advertised as a free event - And we want to remind you that despite what the promoters continue to say, Trent Reznor is in England and will not be attending this party. This is just a ruse to get you to buy $250 bottles of alcohol at the Spyder Room's supposed "VIP" party nextdoor. Don't blow your money if you're only doing it in the chance that you'll get to meet Trent Reznor.

Midnight at the Astoria
As you're probably aware, Nine Inch Nails just blew the roof off of the Astoria in London - not once, but twice in a row! Thanks to the miracle of the internets, you can read all about the show, and thanks to the miracle of the Astoria allowing cameras, you can see some pretty cool pictures!

Exclusive Download of Non-Album Track "Home"
In conjunction with Interscope Records, we are presenting you with an exclusive download opportunity. As you have heard, there is a 7" vinyl being passed out with pre-orders at the listening parties being held by Interscope Records across the US right now. We were told this was the only way to get this song, but then we heard that it was on the Japanese release of With Teeth. Not so exclusive.
Well, save your import dollars. We've teamed up with Interscope Records to hook you up with an exclusive digital copy of the non-album track, "Home," which you can download in AAC or WMA format directly from The NIN Hotline. But before you grab the file, you have to fill out a simple questionnaire, and join the Interscope Mailing list. You also have an opportunity to opt out of the online street team during this sign up process.
April Fools :P

On top of that, Jolie wrote in to suggest that a lot of us should vote for The Hand That Feeds on MTV2 Europe. I think it's a great suggestion, so go nuts.
