You may have already heard this: our number two Berlin girl (next to Magda of course) Ellen Allien has had to cancell her whole US tour, apparenlty due to some customs issues. Not only was she on the bill for the Movement Festival next week, but she was slated to play at Oslo, the coolest new place to open in Detroit since... well... since... well....

This makes me so sad I think I'm just going to listen to side B of The Downward Spiral [tape] over and over while driving in the rain with my headlights off.

On that note, here's what the dirty haired record store clerks at Pitchfork have to say about the upcoming Nine Inch Nails album. (You'll never get a job at The Onion with wit like that guys. Hell, you couldn't get a job writing copy for grocery store coupons with wit like that... Congrats on name-dropping Current 93 and Noam Chomsky at least.)
