Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms

alset_tech writes "Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) has released the new single from NIN's upcoming album as a GarageBand file for fan remixes. Though by no means the first time a major-label artist has released a track to the public for remix, this is the first time such a project has been as open to the common user. The repercussions to 'traditional' IP views in music could be beneficial to all. Note that the license agreement does not allow commercial use of the included sounds. From the download text: 'What I'm giving you in this file is the actual multi-track audio session for 'the hand that feeds' in GarageBand format. This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro Tools session we recorded it into. I imported and converted the tracks into AppleLoop format so the size would be reasonable and the tempo flexible.'"

    I take offence at the term "fat". I prefer to think of us as "festively plump".

    Fuck off. Very few DEMOCRATS have reason.

    The implication was that Mr. Reznor produces what might be considered "expired" semen from his oral cavity. This could be either due to possible health issues on his lover's part, a type of sperm incubation technique that takes place within Mr. Reznor's mouth or a combination of the two.

    Now, I cannot confirm nor deny the accusation or connection between Trent and rotten semen without first consulting with him or his lover, however, it is quite common knowledge that the audible artforms that Mr. Reznor produces under the guise of "Nine Inch Nails" is only of slightly lesser quality than that of the hit hip-hop sensation "Kriss Kross" which was so prevailent in the early nineties.

    Originally, I did not believe that I would enjoy Mr. Reznor's music, due to the fact that it diverges so far away from my usual musical genre selections of "Milli Vanilli" and "Dead Or Alive". After thoroughly listening to a few of the choice "Nine Inch Nails" tracks, such as "I want to fuck you like an animal" and "Head like a hole" I must admit that my initial judgements were misguided. Certainly, Trent Reznor is a decent person with deep convictions and a gleaming moral background. I would be proud to allow his electronic stylings to permeate my childrens' bedrooms and his wholly pure lyrics to guide their actions. He is truly an icon, nay god, amongst men.
