Yeah it's better than With Teeth
but it still sucks
at NIN's studio... located in a funeral home. Not figuratively.
How's that for a send off?
That's right. Fuck you, Valenti.
What's wrong with just coming in from a hard day's work, opening a bottle of beer and chilling out to a good piece of music or a movie, rather than wanting to "change it" or "fiddle with it"?
My view is that musicians, movie producers & actors probably know more about their respective arts than I do so they can just get on with it and I'll throw some money at them when they turn out something worse listening to or watching.
Life's too short and I've too many other interests to worry about customising everything to the way I think it should be.
Gentoo Linux - another day, another USE flag.
The artists moved to the Mac in 1984 for the user interface to make their art. They generated applications, hypercard stacks,applescripts, performance spaces like the apple store soho would eventually become, text and picture clippings, art galleries (tekserve).etc., due to their highly developed aesthetics.
these artists-- these creative designers, musicians, scientists, and programmers-- stayed on the Mac during the interregnum when apple was a decaying mess and, respecting the Gestalt manager, built their applications out of dilapidated but beautiful Toolbox code.
The pencil-pushers and accountning brats saw all of this and said, "Hey, that looks cool." "Daddy buy me some of that." But these switcheurs have nothing to contribute except a talent for demanding crap like glossy screens. just what the fuck are you spreadsheet fiddlers doing? nothing beyond fueling the demand for ugly, tragically misdesigned, cookie-cutter applications like Firefox and Azureus. That is why the Mac community has so rapidly gone into its Rococco stage.
The Mac community continues to change and it is becoming very clear that we are loosing our edge-- the subcultures that once thrived on the Mac are all loosing steam to the mainstream. art, music, nightlife, web development. The Mac is so over. very sad indeed.
It would be fucking better if you could remix better bands.. NIN are not the best, as the man early put it, his lyrics are depressing. But then again, you may only edit electronica? Synthetic music is crap anyway. Only a keyboard turned to Organ settings gets me going...

Nothing on the page but a background jpeg and a giant flashblock icon, which I refuse to click, useless.
Kind of a shame as I used to like NIN, but nothing puts me off more than an all flash page, especially one that features Apple formats.
Let me know if they ever figure out html and the incredible utility and simplicity of the anchor tag.
