I'm a big (classic) Jane's fan, so this is both not surprising and to hear.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I saw Jane's at a festival in October and they were boring as poo poo for the most part. They played the 3 or 4 songs I really wanted to hear them play, and then I thought "Good. Now I can safely never see them again." The Kettle Whistle version will always be superior, anyway

Wild T posted:I'm kinda hoping that Lynch decides to mess with everyone and casts these folks entirely against type. Trent Reznor plays a lumberjack with a speech impediment and a middle school education, Eddie Vedder plays a sanitation worker with a heart of gold, Michael Cera plays the hard nosed, bitter and drunken new FBI agent sent in in Dale's place. This just reminded me that Michael Cera is involved. I like him and all, but

I remember the first track I heard off of the fragile was The Day the World Went Away. I was so amazed at the mix of chaos, beauty, and despair, and was kind of disappointed when I heard the rest of the album, and how it wasn't just all that, in different songs. TDTWWA was like a louder A Warm Place, with lyrics and guitars, and I was expecting the rest of the album to feel similar to that. BUT, it didn't take long for me to come around and really enjoy almost all of the rest of it. Some tracks I could do without, but most are fantastic. If I were to make a mixtape of all of those haunting, depressingly eclectic, world ending tracks, it'd include the two aforementioned tracks, Non-entity, Beside You In Time, and Right Where it Belongs. Anyone else have suggestions for more tracks like that? I kind of stopped paying as much attention to NIN after With Teeth, so I'm probably missing a few more.

Vince MechMahon posted:Deep is really silly, but I still really enjoy it. See, in terms of silly NIN songs, I'd have to go with With Teeth, only because of 'With-a TEETH-ahhhhhh'.

NonzeroCircle posted:I think because a couple of songs on The Fragile are re-instrumentations of the same song I actually love that he does this. In film scoring, it's called a 'leitmotif'; when the score is very familiar and repeats itself based on what you're seeing. Kind of, sort of how Darth Vader always has the Imperial March or something similar when he's on screen. The Jaws riff is an excellent example. The same thing happens in The Downward Spiral. The title track is, as we all know, a much longer version of the out-of-tune piano riff at the end of Closer. I find it really pulls the album together, gives it more of an identity, and I'm totally stealing that sort of idea for whenever I make more music again. ![]() EDIT: vvv fair enough.

BANME.sh posted:He also did some long rear end spoken word album and the digital download files were aiffs or some poo poo, and nobody could play them unless you used QuickTime on a mac I'm genuinely interested in knowing more about this since MOST of the time, AIF/AIFF files should play on anything, just like WAV files. Unfortunately, they can also be a 'container' file format, which means that there could be restrictions. EDIT: Ugh, new page, and I poo poo it up with dumb audio format talk. Sorry

Leon Einstein posted:Remember that Trent was helping out with Beats, and they happened to get bought out by Apple. 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.

Vince MechMahon posted: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. Ah. Nevermind!

Earwicker posted:i know this seems crazy but it is entirely possible for a dude to write a song referencing a "she" or "her" that is not his wife or even, necessarily, an actual person at all. the song could just as easily be about heroin or something.

I have a Spotify playlist that includes as many albums that I used to own as I could find, so I'm listening to a lot of NIN and Green Day mixed together, oddly enough. Yeah, Billie Joe's lyrics go from angsty-but-sappy teenager to 'I am just so upset because of all of these drugs I'm on' (I stopped before he got political). F.O.D. is probably my favourite song of theirs, but there's one point where he sings: "Stuck down in a rut Of dislogic and smut" and aside from the fact that I don't know what the gently caress 'dislogic' is, I always still, to this day, hear "I kissed my chicken's butt".

Molestationary Store posted:the PIgface tune Suck. Oh man, I didn't know this. I've heard Suck before, but had no idea it was a cover of a Pigface song. And thus, my weird need to connect Trent Reznor with Lesley Rankine is fulfilled. I always thought Ruby's first album was very NIN-like at times. Listen to "Pine" and "Heidi" (and to a lesser degree, my favourite, "Carondelet", which was originally Pigface's "Chickasaw"). poo poo is haunting.
