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:

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.

All Things Considered Interview

NPR aired an interview with Trent Reznor during yesterday's "All Things Considered"

"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!

A chance to win a standard edition UK version of Hesitation Marks

After seeing so many Came Back Haunted promo CDs on eBay, I flailed around in emails to Columbia Records to see if they would be interested in sending something like that our way for a giveaway. I flailed, but I failed. However, my flailing motion was so dramatic that I caught the attention of some really cool people across the Atlantic. Whereas I got in touch with Columbia and was basically rebuffed, Polydor Records, who is distributing Hesitation Marks in the UK, got in touch with me, and was all "How can we help?" It's all very confusing for me. So we've got a couple of giveaways coming up - the first one opens at noon, but since I'll be at lunch, I'm going to post it now. (Your entries don't get accepted until noon.) It'll be followed up by a slightly more exclusive (UK only) contest for something different. More on that later, but first:

We've got five copies of the new album, and Polydor will ship them anywhere. You want one? You can enter on the form below, or at our Facebook page. Hell, you can even tweet to enter - but you'll have to follow us on Twitter to find out how to do that. Massive thanks to that dude who runs NINwiki for supplying the mechanism by which this contest is being managed, and to the fine friendly folks at Polydor Records for making this possible in the first place.

The art and music that make up Hesitation Marks, and a nice interview with Trent

Earlier today, I corrected Leviathant when he dual posted the Hesitation Marks review after JessicaSarahS and the update was removed. However! There was another item in that update that should be mentioned again, and that is... Hesitation Marks is available on the internet. It is our policy that we don't post links to early leaks, but we can at least help out fans in the US by posting the link to the iTunes early streaming of the album. Enjoy that here.

What else... Earlier today, a video was posted highlighting the artwork of Hesitation Marks, which was produced by Russell Mills with direction from Rob Sheridan. The video for that is below.


Also, Spin has a great interview that was published today. Trent is featured as the cover story for the latest issue.

Finally, have you heard Hesitation Marks yet? How about not? Either way, we have a relatively spoiler-free thread on ETS discussing the album. I've proclaimed it to be the best NIN record since The Fragile. Agree? Disagree? Join us in discussing it if you'd like to weigh in.

Nine Inch Nails playing surprise gig at The Troubadour

On the day of the release of their album, NIN are playing at The Troubadour in Hollywood. With a capacity of 300-400, that's even smaller than the Bowery Ballroom show. How do you get in to this exclusive CD release party? Well, you can enter via KROQ. That's all we got. Good luck!

What's that? There's controversy over the new NIN song?

Reaction over the new Nine Inch Nails song, "Everything" has been quite the mixed bag. ETS has played host to a lot of opinions on the song, along with several other locations. Our very own Leviathant was interviewed on the Rock it Out! Blog for his take on the reaction to the song and what it means in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy!
