Tension Release
nine inch nails live: tension. blu-ray. dvd. digital. spring 2014. The banner at the top of the Tension page on nin.com, where we all first streamed the concert film, has read that for most of this year. Spring is fast advancing into summer, and the last anyone's heard about it has essentially been when that full concert was posted online. Since then, the band's been touring the world, their Austin City Limits performance aired & streamed online, Trent's been creating a soundtrack for Gone Girl, Apple Inc. bought Beats Music, and another North American tour featuring Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, and Death Grips was announced. What of Tension? Here's the latest.
"The Tension release is still coming. We’re working on making it bigger & better, with more content from different shows on the Hesitation Marks tour cycle."
That's a good sign that it has not been relegated to the cold hard drives that store all that Wave Goodbye footage. I understand that more details will be available in the near future. I want to speculate about how it would make a lot of sense to put such a video out around the time the band returns to American venues, but that would just be speculation. Don't worry though - there's no shortage of cool things coming down the pike this year. Stay tuned...

Apple acquires Beats - here's everything you need to know
Hey guys, I'm trying out this misleading headline thing that seems to be all the rage these days. So, the first part is true - you've already heard that Apple bought Beats. You may have seen lots of pictures of Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre - and maybe even watched the video of Dre potentially breaking his NDA. But since you're here on this website, you've wondered where Trent Reznor lands in all of this.
Given that Rob Sheridan is still involved with Beats post-merger, it was something of a surprise when USA Today reported that Reznor "reportedly left the company". Reportedly is one of those words, a big blinking sign that says "hearsay".
Over at Rolling Stone, Jason Newman picked up the phone and called Beats, who confirmed " Trent Reznor, Chief Creative Officer for Beats Electronics, will not be leaving the company." I then tweeted about it, saying something about using 470 words to say "Trent Reznor hasn't left Beats"
It only took me 160 words to get there.

Whenever possible, I like to link you directly to the source. I posted about Recoiled about two months ago, but seeing photos of the packaging by people who have it in their possession, I had to post about it again.
I had personally only ordered the limited edition vinyl, so I haven't received my copy yet (what's a NIN related release without a delay? They're shipping soon-ish), and I think I'm supposed to get some copies from the label (read: future freebies for fans, hopefully), nonetheless if you're a fan of those late 90s Coil remixes and you haven't checked any of this out yet, you really should do yourself a favor.
It's available on iTunes and Amazon MP3 on the cheap (and with alternate cover art!), and physical versions can be had direct from Cold Spring or slightly cheaper from Amazon.
Thanks to Demogorgon and poro765 from ETS for the photos!

The Downward Spiral turned 20, The Quietus reflects
The subheadline reads "Val Siebert revisits an album that sounds even more like the future 20 years later." The quote I'll pull from the story is:
Val sure talks about the future a lot, maybe he was having a premonition.
Also holy shit, The Quietus reviewed Recoiled, and Harry Sword spoke at some length with Trent about Coil. If you don't know what Recoiled is, then you read this post before I finished the one that's going to appear above it.
Also celebrating a twentieth anniversary currently is Soundgarden's Superunknown, which happened to be the only record that kept Downward Spiral off the top of the U.S. charts when they were both released twenty years ago. Possibly owing to the clarity of Reznor's production, it's mind-blowing that these are from the same decade, let alone the same month – Superunknown sounds so 'retro' in comparison.

The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is looking at festival performances
USA Today has the story, wherein they detail the upcoming exhibit
I locked myself out of my car at the 1999 HFStival, which was bad enough, but that same night, my dad's minivan got stolen, so I had to drive him, my brother & his friend, my sister & her friend back up to Pennsylvania in my "nothingmobile" 1989 Dodge Colt hatchback. Hall of Fame, I await your embrace.
Sorry, got sidetracked. Aforementioned Hall of Fame is asking for you to vote for the most greatest festival moments in rock & roll history, and NIN's legendary Woodstock '94 performance is one of the options. Really, given that the Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, that cesspool (I say that with love, although it was only a one night stand at the opening of the Fragility tour) from which Nine Inch Nails sprang, it's probably only a matter of time before they really start cashing in on that connection, but why not give them a little incentive to get started early. It looks like all you have to do is click a checkbox to vote for Nine Inch Nails. Or, you know, whichever moment you prefer. No pressure.
This one I got from Kyle's post on ETS. Thanks, Kyle!
The exhibit, which opens April 25, will cover more than 50 years of festivals — from the 1938 From Spirituals to Swing concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, seen as the prototype of the music festival, to modern destination festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza. But Common Ground isn't just about the music: The hall plans to embrace fans' stories.

Jean-Michel Jarre, John Carpenter, Trent Reznor, and more
Over on Dread Central's Dailymotion channel, John Carpenter let slip this tasty morsel:
"[Jean-Michel Jarre] is doing an album and he's collaborating with various people on this album: David Lynch, Trent Reznor, and I am one of them." According to Carpenter, the album is "all electronic, very moody, very much like a score."
The quote comes in around the 27 minute mark during the show, but I lifted it word for word from Nyx's post on the NIN Spotting thread on Echoing the Sound.
Selections from John Carpenter's soundtrack work was played in the minutes leading up to Nine Inch Nails' performances during the Tension 2013 tour.

When going through his DATs, Coil's Danny Hyde came across earlier versions of remixes that Coil had done for Nine Inch Nails. Through the efforts of members of a great online music community, a free digital release of these remixes happened a little over a year ago. This garnered enough attention that Mr. Hyde was approached by the famed experimental electronic label Cold Spring records, who compiled the most compelling of the remixes into an LP release - these tracks have been remastered, and an additional Eraser remix, located after the previous release, is included in the track listing.
Today, pre-orders have gone live for the digipak CD, vinyl LP, and a limited edition of 500 spattered black/brown color vinyl. Hopefully you're able to get your order in today, as the store was buckling under the pressure for this release. I'll admit, I waited to tell you about it until I put my own order in for the limited edition vinyl. But look on the bright side - I posted it to the website instead of Twitter or Facebook! Let's see if I can make a habit of that again.
