Trent Reznor talks Gone Girl, new tour, Grammys, The Fragile...
Did I get your attention? Because none of that's made up. You can read the details of David Farrier's interview with Trent Reznor as the weeks and days tick down leading to the upcoming tour. It's a particularly good one, which isn't surprising given who's doing the interviewing.

Watch NIN + QOTSA (+ Dave Grohl and Lindsey Buckingham) close the Grammys
Update: The Grammy's have pretty effectively scrubbed streaming media of the performance. If you didn't catch it, your best bet is to chase down a torrent somewhere.

And one last announcement today - TR + AR composing "Gone Girl" soundtrack
This was likely lost in all of the Beats Music launch news, but it's particularly exciting news to me -
and yes, Atticus and I are scoring David Fincher’s upcoming Gone Girl!— Trent Reznor (@trent_reznor) January 21, 2014

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.

Hotline tshirt update
Tee Spring didn't send Leviathant's explanation of why the campaign was killed to those that ordered hotline tshirts. Here is what he posted to ETS:
Discuss hotline shirts and see Leviathant's post here.
After Olga pointed out that the symbol on the back bore a striking resemblance to (but was not in fact the same thing as) a symbol used by Russian neo-Nazis, I just... I couldn't unsee that. I wrote an explanation that I sent using the "Email people who preordered" link, but apparently that never went through. Awesome!
Doubly awesome? When I first canceled the campaign, it just shut the campaign down. Didn't refund anyone. Teespring's a little bit different from Kickstarter in that it charges everyone as soon as the campaign reaches the goal - I think Kickstarter waits until the campaign is over before it approves any funding. So I wait a few days to see if I get the $67 back, and nothing happens, so I email them - "Hey, I noticed I didn't get refunded." They're all "Oh, sorry, we'll refund you." I asked in reply, can you make sure that everyone was refunded? No reply. I wait a couple of days, and I still don't see a refund on my account. So today I sent a follow-up follow-up, and they write back "Everyone's refunded now!"
Five minutes later, Randazzo IMs me, "Hey I just got refunded by Teespring."
So yeah, this could have gone more smoothly. On the bright side, I've got a pretty badass new design that I'm excited to put up there, and I'm actually thinking of putting a second design up simultaneously so that there's an element of choice. I'll drop the campaign to 20 shirts each, which cuts into the profit a little bit, but I really wasn't going to come out with much cash in the end anyway. Really I just want NIN Hotline shirts.

1-Copy of a - Fuji Rock Festival
2-Came Back Haunted - Lollapalooza
3-Sanctified - Lollapalooza

All Things Considered Interview
NPR aired an interview with Trent Reznor during yesterday's "All Things Considered"
"Trent Reznor: 'I'm Not The Same Person I Was 20 Years Ago'"
Audio & Transcript here
Thanks to fulkramick for submitting this to the hotline.
"I aspire to make a record that sounds better 10 listens in than it does after two — and still, at 50 listens, you're picking out things that add a depth and a thoughtfulness. There's enough in there that you can still be extracting pieces out of it. I don't know that people listen to records that many times these days, but I do."

Album release, Trent playing golf, and a cool contest
I'm on my umpteenth listen of Hesitation Marks and realized we didn't make an update for the record's release. To be honest, there wasn't anything really big to post, other than a plug to head to ETS and talk about the record now that it's out there in the wild, ready to be scrutinized, analyzed and everything else-ized.
However! Here's some news. Dazed Digital has a nice interview with Trent about playing golf and going to concerts. I think my favorite quote in the piece is the mention of encountering "50 assholes with their phones up in front of me." Head over and give the interview a read.
Okay, now for the cool stuff. There's a contest taking place involving the upcoming tour rehearsal for Tension 2013 on September 21st in LA. The prizes include an expense paid trip (one-night hotel, roundtrip plane tickets for two) to LA for the show, two additional tickets to a Tension 2013 tour stop, deluxe copies of Hesitation Marks, and autographed posters and vinyl from the band. Neat, right? It's worth noting that it's a US only contest, unfortunately. Enter here, and good luck!
