Over time, you will see that these are all true.Hmmmn...1. I've done a few interviews lately that will be comingout over the next few weeks/months. Alternative Press (#54-Jan 93) i'm on the cover (photos by Marina Chavez,somewhere in there they make fun of the contents of mykitchen). Musician (tent. 1/3 of the cover) and MelodyMaker (the cover) (that's an english paper, Simon)2. Track #4 on 'fixed' is called 'throw this away'. It's4.14 in length and contains parts of 'suck' and 'last'.Look for Butch Vig's name in the credits.3. I've completed a video for 'happiness in slavery' withdirector Jonathan Reiss. It features performance artist BobFlanagan (from LA) and you will definitely not see it onMTV due to content (it gets bloody). There is a short videofor 'pinion' directed by Eric Goode that features a toilet.As of today, MTV rejected it due to S&M overtones. (I'llexplain what S&M means in a private note, Simon) 'The Box'however, is going to show it. I just finished filming onefor 'wish' with Peter Christopherson (of Coil) but wehaven't edited it yet. I'm wearing black rubber gloves init and it also features Rich Patrick, James Wooley and myoriginal drummer, Chris Vrenna. (Chris Vrenna has a funnynickname i gave him, a special prize will be awarded to thecomputer nerd that guesses it correctly. Hint- it appearson an album that he played on.) Let's see... I'm trying tomake a video for 'gave up' (which is my favorite track onthe EP) but so far attempts have failed.4. 'Fixed' will have the same artwork as 'broken' with theopposite color scheme. (that means it will have a blueishtint, Simon)5. I did a remix for Megadeth (the 'gristle mix') that isoriginally 9.50 long. THey edited it down for the cassingleand video...they may include it in it's entirety on an albumof all remixes they are talking about doing inspring/summer.6. I did two mixes for Queen: 'Stone Cold Crazy' and 'TieYour Mother Down'. I'm not sure what Hollywood recordsplans to do with them.7. To whoever asked me a list of specific questions...Allegheny College (Meadville,PA), computer engineering, ifound 'Psychocandy' inspiring, but i don't like them now,yes, i did a production deal with Sire, but i haven'tproduced or remixed anything for them yet (and they are verycool to deal with)So there!If anyone out there has any intelligent comments to make orquestions to ask (other than what i had for breakfast), i'llcheck in every once in a while to shake you up a bit.(that is, if Simon doesn't kick me off the network)Love (as always)TRPRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 11/14/92 9:37 AMMUSICTOPIC: MODERN ROCKTIME: 11/16 7:22 AMTO: ALLFROM: CHRIS VRENNA (XXXXXXX)SUBJECT: NINE INCH NAILSHi everybody...It's me, Trent, writing through my assistant's ID# (go ahead& check before you believe).

Wow! Nobody ever asked me about that particularsample before (middle of 'sanctified'). When we wererecording the record (PHM) we were experimenting with hidingvarious things very far back in the mix. That sample isfrom one of my favorite movies, 'Midnight Express'.It's the scene where he is writing a letter explaining hisrather unpleasant situation in prison.Thanks for listening so close!Next, sorry, the rumors of live shows are just that. NINwill NOT be performing live in the near future. I amassembling the live band and will start rehearsing(casually) in January and we may do some surprise showsaround L.A. after that.And yes, if we do, i'll post them here.Halo is my numbering system for NIN's catalog. Halo 6 is'fixed'.Extra lyrics? There were some lyrics that i had writtenthat i couldn't fit into the songs as i was combing lyricswith music. I included them because i liked them and alsobecause they could be discovered by the person that took thetime to read the lyrics.Regarding the warning for 'mono' devices...Without getting too far in detail, a scientific property ofsound is it's 'phase'. When recording music in stereo,you're supposed to be aware of it's phase. If not, certainparts of the sound will disappear when it's played in mono.So, we discovered that by messing around with the phase,we could make elements of the music stand out rather oddly.(remember Q-sound? -it's based on the same type ofprinciple)So...certain songs on 'broken' we mixed out of phase(because we felt like it)BUT...The songs don't sound right on mono devices (like someradios or TVs). Has anyone heard 'happiness in slavery' onthe radio? I heard it on KROQ in LA and the snare drum wasgone through most of the song. (and yes, it kind ofdestroys the groove!)So, basically, that's what that means.Blah, blah, blah.I have some comments on your 'trendy' discussion, but i'llsave them for another time.Love,TRPRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 11/27/92 9:08 PMMUSICTOPIC: MODERN ROCKTIME: 12/03 2:40 PMTO: ALLFROM: TRENT REZNOR (XXXXXXX)SUBJECT: NIN-MUSIC-DISCUSSIONHi everybody.Today's update:'Fixed' release date has been delayed once again (by WEA) toDec. 7 (for sure).I am not on any other networks (except PAN), so Ender orwhatever his name is is wrong. Sorry.MTV rejected the 'pinion' video but for some reasonaired it unedited last 120 min. I think it was an error ontheir part. Does anyone really find that clip offensive?(side note: MTV's reason for rejecting it was: 'we can'tshow the human form in any sort of bondage.' my response:'what about Madonna?' response: 'Madonna is Madonna.'-true story)Speaking of MTV, 'wish' will debut on 120 min. this week. Iheard the feared words 'buzz bin' so it may go into somesort of rotation. I seriously doubt it will be overplayeddue to the abrasiveness of the track, but who knows.Regarding the 3" CD that seems to have confused many...The last two tracks were leftovers from a 12" that shouldhave been released when we did lollapalooza, but due torecord labels.... ...so, i thought they were good enoughto be released, but did not fit with 'broken', so, i wantedto give them away but keep them separate from the EP, so, icame up with the 3" CD idea, but, my record label informedme that it cost so much to manufacture that they could notbreak even EVER regardless of sales, so, i compromised andallowed the first 250,000 to have the 3" CD, and the rest tohave them on tracks 98-99 (so nobody would be ripped off).That's about it.Oh, is anybody out there familiar with the comic book 'thecrow'?

On the side it said 'Q-Sound'. Upon furtherinvestigation, i learned that it was indeed the infamousQ-Sound device (covered with dust, i might add.)They told me when it first came out, the cost to use it waseither one or two points (percentage points of the artist'sprofit from sales) of the record. That is a LOT. Aproducer may get up to four points, usually one or two.Well, guess how much it costs now?0 a day!Q-Sound didn't turn out to be quite the revolution they hadhoped. So we hooked it up while we were mixing 'suck', butthe mix 'suck'ed, so we aborted it.Q-Sound does work, but you have to be in a controlledenvironment. It doesn't work in headphones or cars.
