It's actually the opposite. I'm a progressive that's salty that he's willing to toe the company line and participate in the Hollywood 'lets jack off in each others mouths and pretend we're changing the world' club.


Help the music industry by launching a spotify clone with a radio stream :jerkbag: Do artists get more control? No. Do artists get paid better? No. The only thing that's changed is he's on the payroll and willing to turn a blind eye now. Maybe Google or Spotify should try cutting him a check so he stops motherfucking them in the press. (Or maybe he could try remembering that he's the person who put all of interscope's ip NIN's videos on YouTube and he's the guy who was promoting Spotify as an OiNK/what alternative before it even launched in the us)

In order of the dumb poo poo in this post...
http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/08/01/apple-music-spotify-youtube-paying/
Artists can monetize their own Youtube "channel," Trent's issue with YT is that anyone can upload anything and potentially make money off someone else's work. Spotify pays artists half of what Apple Music does.
Spotify was a great alternative to OiNK/what.cd, at the time, because neither of them paid the artist at all. (please prove otherwise on this, I couldn't find any sources that said the torrent sites paid anyone).

You spotting a trend here yet? Trent Reznor believes artists should be paid for their work, and as such makes choices based on what is available at the time. Not hard to understand.

He's also been an Apple mark for decades, so it's not terribly surprising that he'd jump at the opportunity to work on an Apple thing. It's totally fine if someone wants to think he's a sellout or whatever, but it always seemed to me like his involvement in that was an overly-optimistic idea that he can change the system from the inside.

They do. One of the biggest differences is that everyone using Apple Music is paying $10/mo, that's not necessarily the case with Spotify.

Well, while I genuinely don't care about what he does now with his fame and position (more power to him, really... he's earned it), that's unfortunate, because Beats headphones are completely and total bullshit. Yes, they are headphones that work, but quality vs price, they're way off.

He was working with their streaming stuff, not the hardware part of it. Which is why they kept him on at Apple when they bought Beats, because he just moved over to being an Apple Music guy.

Spotify recently pointed me in the direction of 'The Black Queen' which is some dudes from current-ish NIN, Telefon Tel Aviv and DEP.

It's synth poppy and very early NIN/Depeche Mode so of course you will like it.

This is pretty rad, thanks for the recommendation. The curmudgeonly part of my brain says maybe it's a little too retro, but I'll definitely give it a few more streams at the very least.

Nine Inch Nails posts all of their multitracks online, for remixes, sampling, other stuff. Which is really cool, so many different samples and sounds to use. The site should be easy to find, just find it and all Nine Inch Nails multitracks are available. Easy enough considering its a massive amount of samples.

If anyone is interested in hearing mostly about Trent's recent soundtrack work: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/trent-reznor-on-new-nine-inch-nails-soundtrack-experiments-w454963

For those looking for NIN info, here's the only relevant part:

quote:

Unexpected, of course, remains Reznor's M.O., especially when it relates to his main gig. When asked about the mood of the forthcoming Nine Inch Nails record – whether it arrives before New Year's or not – he wants people to be patient. "That will be part of the reveal," he says. "I don't want to spoil it. If I'm interested in a film, I prefer not to watch the trailer. We live in overstimulated times."

So maybe some sort of whacky new years release of year zero 2??? Almost definitely

Sitting in a sleigh, I looked up, way up in the sky
and I was seeing some weather you wouldn’t believe
That night I didn’t believe it myself,
And I decided I was never going out
Just then a shiny little nose caught my eye
it was bright enough for all to see
And I watched it glow and glow
It was Rudolph’s red nose

He was up above it
He was up above it
He’ll go down in it



They used to laugh and call him names
He couldn’t play their little games
Because he wasn’t quite the same
(He used to be nobody)
They used to say he was a freak
With his big red shiny glowy beak
They used to say it all
(He used to be nobody)

...

He was up above it
He was up above it
He’ll go down in it
(He’ll go down in history)

(Fog, fog, go away
Come again some other day)

I got my eggs but the yolks are unraveling
Can’t keep the heavy cream from clotting while I’m traveling
I got my milk but my milk’s no good
The nutmeg tastes like shavings made of wood

I mix it all but I don’t know just how much to heat
It shouldn’t boil but it’s frothing, steaming, getting beat
Turn off the stove pull the pan from the range
The more I have to taste, the more I crave!

And I want you!

You are the perfect nog, the perfect nog, the perfect nog!

You make me warm when I’m all cold inside
I see the bourbon didn’t get left aside
The sugar goes straight to my heart
Without it everything seems slightly tart…

My stomach wants to say hello to you!
My thirst is ready to be slaked by you!
My eyes are so afraid to realize
how very little there is left to drink…

And I want you!

You are the perfect nog, the perfect nog, the perfect nog!

toast me… toast me with you…
without you… holiday cookies fall apart
without you… it’s not as much fun to clean up the kitchen.

And I don't want to think too much about when he’s coming on his sled
Mom and Dad made sure the stockings hung by the chimney with care,
Put me in my bed and tucked me in and went down the stairs
Nothing quite like the feel of Christmas Eve

Maybe I'm all wrapped up
Maybe I'm all wrapped up
Maybe I'm all wrapped up in you
Maybe I'm all wrapped up
