A ton of great quotes in this interview with Trent Reznor from the Herald Sun in Australia. Some candid honesty here from Reznor. One of many quotes: “I steal music too, I’m not gonna say I don’t. But it’s tough not to resent people for doing it when you’re the guy making the music.” #

I blew out my rear car speaker this morning blaring My Violent Heart on the way to work. Cheapo Pioneer brand.. Oddly enough, the CD doesn’t sound that different with a blown speaker.. #

The best time to watch a nine inch nails live dvd is very late at night. Revisiting some old stuff is a perfect break from my non-stop year zero addiction. Highlights: “something i can never have”, “burn”, “the hand that feeds”, and pretty much everything else on here. Interesting note: every camera shot with the crowd shows a few dozen camera phones shooting little videos.. #

How am I just now learning about Psapp? Cool, Scandinavian-style (tho from England) electro-pop, with sweet beats and syrupy vocals. Found via the Grey’s Anatomy theme song, “Cozy in the Rocket”. Reviews coming of their two albums. #

He is as he’s always been—buoyant, lazy, mischievous, misogynistic—with a voice that’s nearly tactile and a disposition that begs for anything but keen attention.

Watching Singles on tv tonight.. I totally forgot that the Singles Soundtrack is one of the THE best soundtrack of all time. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pumpkins. I maintain that 1992-1994 are the best 2 years EVER for rock. #
