the july 97 issue of alternative press has a few nin and related items in it:

In the news section (Wire Tapping): TWEAKOUT! NIN's Chris Vrenna Gets All Atmospheric

Music fans know Chris Vrenna through his programming and drumming in Nine Inch Nails. Lately, Vrenna has been plying his talents as a hired-gun programmer (he appeared at the Grammy Awards playing with Smashing Pumpkins), and assisting Mercury artist and fellow Erie, Pennsylvania, native Greg Garrin in the studio. Recently, Vrenna has been creating sonic atmospheres and subtle drum & bass tracks under the non de plume Tweaker. "I don't think that ambient atmospheres should be heard only in the context of half-hour pieces," he says. "I think that it can be done within the context of songs." Tweaker will debut as part of the Music In The Anchorage series, held at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge this summer. an article entitled "web of deception," focusing on lies and rumors spread on the internet, featured a sidebar called "the truth is out there somewhere... the top five internet rumors and the real story." after "kurt cobain is dead. courtney love killed him." and "drummer jimmy chamberlin's sucide attempt in the wake of his firing by smashing pumpkins last summer" appears this: Nine Inch Nails and the Homeless Mixing Engineer

Rumor: In these days of intriguing collaborations, and given Trent Reznor's penchant for the predictably unpredictable, it wasn't completely implausible that the NIN mastermind had really invited a homeless man to mix a track for his forthcoming album.

Truth: Not true, but that didn't keep an English music weekly from printing the story, planted as a joke by a non-fan, as fact. also, the issue featured an in-depth interview with trent hero gary numan, and he revealed this little tidbit of info: Q. Electronics are everywhere in music today: industrial rock, drum & bass, ambient. Whom are you listening to these days?

A. I'm a massive fan of Nine Inch Nails. I'd love to work with Trent Reznor... I'm not particularly knowledgable about the industrial scene [in England] or over in America. I think it's a really exciting period in music right now. I look to America and think, "That's where I should be." I have a new album completed, and I'd like to get a record deal and work with somebody like Trent Reznor...somebody to push me to see how far [the music] could go.

new video (bootleg?)
there seems to be a new video out there. it also is most likely a bootleg. 95% sure. i have not personally seen it, but it comes in a video case w/ trent standing with his arms crossed (tip #1, trent never puts his pic on any packaging).. and the title is "a perfect circle of scars" (tip #2, standard cheesy bootleg title).. video listing: the downward spiral down in it head like a hole sin pinion wish happiness in slavery gave up suck march of the pigs closer dead souls burn hurt the perfect drug this could be a leak of the home video, or just an assembly of everything. it looks like it contains 'sin' and some other weird stuff though. i'm trying to get a validation on this, but in the meantime any other info (or copies of) on this would be much appreciated.

raasputina
from mtv news: MARILYN MANSON-RASPUTINA REMIX TO CREEP INTO STORES

That Marilyn Manson remix of the female all-cello trio Rasputina that has been lurking on the Internet will soon be available in stores.

As we reported last week, Netizens can check out Manson's re-working of the group's "Transylvania Concubine" at the official Rasputina website (at www.music.sony.com/Music/ArtistInfo/Rasputina), and the track will hit record stores next month.

Manson actually turned in three versions of the track for Rasputina, who became chummy with Manson while opening for his band on its recent troubled U.S. tour. The two group's hit it off so well that the cellists are now opening for Manson in Europe, where he is now causing the same stir he caused here in the States.

If you can't catch the Victorian lingerie-clad cello outfit and the shock rock torch bearers in concert, you can check out the product of their combined effort in mid-June when an EP featuring the Manson remixes, called "Transylvanian Regurgitation," is released.

u2 mentions
in an old entertainment weekly, they talk about u2's popmart tour, and bono mentions trent: This time, there's no Fly or MacPhisto characters to distance the band from the spectacle they've created. Bono wants to mix up the shopping cart musically, too: "music is most interesting when it's neither in one camp nor the other, neither simply club-and-DJ culture nor plain-brown-colors rock, but where it's colliding. We want to be right there. I'm surpried there aren't more people. You have Garbage, Nine Inch Nails.... There's not many in this patch- but there will be, because it's fun."
