Initial impression after seeing the video. Eh.....

I was expecting more from David Fincher. But it looks nice enough and that is what one can expect from David Fincher. It seems he's still really into the macro photography via CG he was using in Panic Room to make the camera fly through the handle of a coffee cup or into the lock of a door or the filament of a flashlight.

Perhaps I'm being easier on it though. After sending the link to a friend he replied back with the following message which made me laugh quite a bit.

fucking garbage. even with an open mind. this isn't a fucking white stripes video. cool for the sake of cool. if it had some sort of meaningful connection to the song that would be a different thing. fuck pop culture and technology, low budget/low tech high creativity. the only way.

oh well, i still like the song anyway.

I found it on soulseek; the music is nice, but the vocals don't really work with it.

yeah after giving it a few listens i definitely prefer their Blues Explosion remix. Still, i won't be deleting it or anything.

yeah it's hiding on soulseek.

Instead of starting a new thread on NIN , have any Dirt's had a chance to check out the new lineup on tour ? I got tickets for the Sydney gig next month and I really looking forward to it.

saw them in davis, pre-tour. sounded pretty fucking great. most of the newer songs kinda lacked energy.... they served as the space for a breather in between all of the songs theyve done forever that they knew would work... but maybe they know what they're doing with them now and it'll all flow nicely.

whatever issues i have with his lyrics, he puts on a damn fine show.

i like the video personally.... at least it's not "oh shit i'm all fucked up so lets jarringly edit this bitch and make it look grainy and crude on PURPOSE."
the vid fits the feel of the track. it's polished, simple, it's clean, but it's also reznor.

Going to see them tonight :) Glasgow Barrowlands. If I have time I'll report on it, but when I get back I have to pack for T In The Park (http://www.tinthepark.com/) as we're setting off early in the morning..

All my wee goth friends who like the song have had to deal with me continually pushing electroclash bands on them for the past while :)

the dfa remix's beats are nice, but the vocals are a half bar off.
weird.

I saw 'em at Coachella. thought they were the best act of the weekend. but then again I'm a pretty big NIN fan. it was the 4th time seeing them over the course of 11 years. but I was with two friends who had never seen 'em live before and are only moderate NIN fans and they also thought it was the best act of the weekend. during the middle of the set my female friend screamed "I want to have Trent's babies". I guess that just about sums it up.

anyway, it was a blast and I can't wait for the Oakland show on 9/30.

enjoy!
