NIN 2008 Rehearsal Footage (Video)

Pitchfork.tv has “the first of three exclusive videos filmed during rehearsals for [Nine Inch Nails’] upcoming tour” and it’s a doozy. The band performs the song “1,000,000” (embedded above) and they really tear through the thing. A while back, I worried about Robin Finck rejoining the band but the dude has totally shut me up.

Of course, this just makes me that much sadder that I don’t have a ticket to either one of the band’s shows in the area (August 7 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT; and August 8 at DCU Center in Worcester, MA). But, hey, I’ve still got time to sell a kidney, right?

Worth Your Consideration 003 - A GF5 Linkdump

• The latest Nine Inch Nails album, The Slip, which is available as a free download will also now be available as a physical CD. However, The NIN Hotline reports that only 200,000 copies will be released in the United States. The physical release will include, among other things, “a DVD of NIN performing live tracks from The Slip at rehearsals,” and I am ready to beat down anybody who stands in the way of me getting a copy.
• William Katt, the star of the most awesome television program of all-time, The Greatest American Hero, will be guest-starring on NBC’s Heroes next season. Newsarama reports that Katt will play a “really, really wonderful, seedy, smarmy-mouthed reporter.” Me, I haven’t seen any of the second season of Heroes, but I’m definitely going to have to catch up, now that I know about this upcoming guest appearance.

New Nine Inch Nails for FREE

It’s been two weeks since Trent Reznor posted his latest ‘Two weeks’ message, and Nine Inch Nails has delivered the goods yet again. The Slip is the second Nine Inch Nails record of 2008, and this one is a completely free download. I actually had my credit card ready to go as soon as I saw the link this morning, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that we’d be getting this puppy for absolutely nothing. I know what I’m listening to on the bus ride into Boston this morning.
