FCUK THE MAINSTREAM

source: the band's social media
both trent and atticus are promoting their score of a disney movie...i get it, you have a fuckton of kids you have to feed, but what happened to "labels suck, let's leak all our multitracks for our fans to do as they please and go independent as musicians"?
is this another attempt at an oscar because disney owns everything nowadays? you already have one, man, and the oscars are a shitshow anyways

i refuse to grow old

TBH as a 3D nerd I like Pixar movies. And I like Tron I suppose Reznor and Atticus both have a lot of freedom in how they create and interact with these big companies, so they don't have to compromise as much as lesser artists. It's not the first time Trent has worked with big evil though.

i hope so...would be a shame if they lose their creative freedom...trent already got out of the interscope claws, now he's putting him and atticus in the mouth of the mouse
and yeah, i know nick cave and warren ellis do soundtracks for movies too (warner bros comes to mind) but they're the coolest rockstars around, so i don't worry about those two. no one can tame them

It used to shock me when the artists I was into would get into deals with mainstream media. I was so anti sellout. I think it's sad I just don't care any more.

it doesn't really shock me, it's business that makes them money and not all of them are sell outs...but yeah, it's meh...i mixed live shows for some big portuguese names, i didn't have to like them, i just needed to do my best to respect the crowd. maybe i should be a sell out too

It just goes to show the corruption of capitalism. I blame the 1%. Viva la revolution.

Be that as it may there's new NIN again. With Health:aroused

Also didn't they get that Oscar again? Nag called it.

they did, and they were nominated for best soundtrack for 2 different movies. didn't even know you could be nominated for the same category twice. wouldn't surprise me if they nominated the movies without checking who's doing what. oscars is a shitshow and the oscar was for the disney movie instead of the david fincher one

i didn't like that song very much. sticks too much to a single formula and doesn't offer something new, just recycling the same thing with an awesome production value trademarketed by reznor (even though alan moulder should get more praise, he mixed the golden era of nin and trent just took that style of sound and kept it). it's very good, just not exciting

oh, and check who's playing in the same day as nin at the chicago fest. you're gonna laugh real hard. every other day has bands that kinda mix together, the nin one...wow...

I tried to find out who was playing same day, but I couldn't find a schedule - just endless lineups

I know what you mean about the song and the sound but I don't care. I liked it anyway 8) I think I've become a music zombie. That said, I've long since admitted my love of pop music and proven conventions. Fuck art let's kill

my bad, it wasn't chicago but louisville

You were right, I did laugh tf?

What a loud snooze fest.

sounds like a portuguese fest. "let's throw a bunch of artists of different genres into a stage to bring in as many people as possible". no one likes to pay for a fest ticket just to wait hours in agony to see only one band and leave.
