THE NIN HOTLINE

Trent Reznor made the announcement on Facebook, attached to a promotional photo of the band. Almost simultaneously, the HTDA Twitter account and official website updated with new visuals, and a link to the Facebook post.


The EP, titled "An Omen", is available for pre-order on Amazon for $18.72, where it's listed with a November 13 release date. According to Pitchfork, the release is only available on vinyl and digital download - there will be no CD for this EP. SoundStageDirect has the track listing (and the wrong cover art, taken from the previous EP).

We are a bit late on reporting this but Trent Reznor will appear with David Byrne at Aratani/ Japan America Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, October 14, 2012 8:00 PM.

The description for the event says:


Tickets are sold out.

Trent Reznor is featured in a 27 second musical memory to promote Dave Grohl's documentary Sound City. According to NIN-ARMY on Facebook, the film is "a homage to the famous LA recording studio of the same name."

...Witch Hunters. You can watch the trailer at trailers.apple.com or if you think Quicktime sucks, check out the version with Spanish subtitles up on Youtube. Most of the last half of the trailer heavily features Keith Hillebrandt's remix of The Wretched that can be found on the remix album Things Falling Apart. Thanks to Wendy, Chris and Steve for sending that in!

What seemed like strange coincidence is finally confirmed as a wholly legitimate connection. In a wonderfully subversive subliminal move by Dayvv Brooks was working for Nintendo of America in 1991 when he named the characters after Trent Reznor - a fact he confirmed to Mariowiki on July 18 this year in their entry for the creatures.

Many of my favorite audio-nerd reads have been from the pages of UK magazine Sound on Sound - or at least, on their incredible website, chock full of archived articles covering all sorts of gear, recording techniques, and behind the scenes stories on the making of some of my favorite music. So I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across the news that Richard Buskin talks technique with Sean Beavan, primarily about recording Closer, but with insights into the making of The Downward Spiral, which somehow still manages to be my favorite album of all time.

Right now, they're only showing a preview of the full article, but I dropped the $2 on the PDF, because instant gratification rarely comes so cheaply, and for all the SOS articles and reviews I've read, two bucks really was the least I could do. It's a very insightful read, but if you're patient and don't want to shell out, they'll probably put the whole thing on their Classic Tracks online archive one day.
