One of the longest running NIN fan pages on the net, Matt Brink's award winning Painful Convictions is undergoing a domain name change, due to some unfortunately asinine circumstances surrounding the ownership of the original domain, 9inchnails.com. Please update your links to reflect the new domain, 9inchnails.info, because if we can't return ownership of 9inchnails.com to Matt before February, that will be the only way to access the site. If you've any suggestions or prior experience in regards to domain name disputes, or are interested in helping support Matt's site, drop him an e-mail and introduce yourself.

The March 2002 Chart Magazine (www.chartattack.com) features Alanis Morissette on the cover, but within it you can find a two page article on Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails, and the AATCHB DVD. Here's a little snippet from the magazine.
"Of course, we've still got our quota of forlorn rock dudes. In this issue we get down in it with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame. We're sure you all know Trent from such happy-feel-good anthems as "Head Like A Hole" and "Happiness In Slavery." As it turns out, he's not that creepy after all. Sure he's got this real gallow's humour, but he isn't that weird. Well, maybe he is. You'll just have to read it and decide for yourself."
You can pick up an issue of the magazine here. Thanks to Elizabeth for sending the news in.
