Today, it was announced on Twitter that their debut EP will be a free download on June 1st. Pre-ordering now gets you "The Believers" MP3 immediately. The How To Destroy Angels store just opened up, and though it is slammed at the moment, they're load-balancing the servers and you should be able to get an idea of what it looks like sooner than later. In the meantime, we found a link to the backend where you can pre-order without lag. And this would be that link. The hot commodity here will be the limited-to-120 hand-screenprinted tshirt package that's going for $50.
Shortly after the release of The Fragile, David Carson published a book of his photos titled Fotografiks, and included in this colorful collection were some of the source images that would end up being used in artwork associated with the double album. A few years later, Carson published Trek, where he included photos of alternate covers (and titles) for what would come to be known as "And All That Could Have Been."
Over at spin.com, Spin magazine is celebrating their 25th Anniversary with radio buttons, checkboxes and text inputs! "Pick your favorite band, album, movie, and song of the SPIN era" reads the headline, and while you can select Nine Inch Nails as best band, The Downward Spiral as best album, and Trent Reznor for, uh, "Hottest Sex God," they're missing from "Best Live Act," which borders on absurd. There is, however, a write-in vote, and I encourage you to go and write them in as the best live act, if you get a few moments to fill this puppy out. They don't ask for an email address or anything, but they wisely added a captcha to potentially thwart script-kiddies from busting this poll.

Is anybody interested in doing remixes for Remission of Guilt? It's not really my thing but I'd be more than happy to put up stems if so.

The Social Network score - Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:47:43 -0700
I was planning on taking some time off after the continual waves of touring that ended last fall and spend this year experimenting around with what would become How To Destroy Angels and some new NIN. Well, that plan didn't work out so well. David Fincher started inquiring about my interest in scoring his upcoming film, The Social Network. Yeah, the movie about the founding of Facebook. I've always loved David's work but quite honestly I wondered what would draw him to tell that story. When I actually read the script and realized what he was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned. Atticus Ross and I have been on a creative roll so I asked him if he wanted to work on this with me and we signed on.
Months later, I'm happy to tell you we're nearing the completion of this and I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out. The level of excellence that David operates on is inspiring and the entire process has been challenging and truly enjoyable.
As Atticus and I near the end of the scoring process, we're looking forward to the next phase - distilling the large amount of music we've written for this down to a satisfying record (or two). The film opens Oct 1 in the US with the record likely available a couple of weeks ahead of that.
Speaking of the film... it's really fucking good. And dark!
