After a long hiatus, NIN dot com is back online, and it looks damn good - like a f*ucked up fax filled with hyperlinks to just about all the content you could crave. Of course the new album that was supposed to be released in February is still being recorded, or re-recorded as it were, but you can pass the time away with nice features like streaming music videos and exclusive live recordings.

This quote from Trent Reznor got me quite excited for the new album: "Lately I've been listening to (in no particular order)... early Dylan, the Polyphonic Spree, Pere Ubu, DFA-produced acts, The Fall, Sonic Youth, Wire (Send in particular), Wilco, Brainiac, Liars, and of course Bowie."

This is also very interesting: "So far I've been using a mix of real drumming on some things, old drum machines on others. One of the 'rules' of this record has been to orchestrate only using monophonic voices. No chords. Anywhere. Most of the synthesis has been done with a rather elaborate (and ever growing) modular rig and recorded live."

I'm going to send him a Dorkwave button as soon as I get home tonight.
