After Mark McGwire’s less-than-shocking steroid revelations Monday, MTV News decided to capitalize on the buzz with a music-themed puff piece blindly suspecting bulked-up musicians of juicing too. The attempt at being cute while cashing in on a hot search engine item is now blowing up in the site’s face. Among those accused in the piece, which [...]

Back to the soap opera of artists doing the whole break up-back-not-really-back-together thing we love so much, as Trent Reznor has announced plans for new Nine Inch Nails material in 2010, as well as a new project. Normally this sort of retire-and-come-back-the-next-year behavior makes my blood boil, but I’ll be fair. His hiatus announcement last year [...]

We chastised Trent Reznor earlier this month for still using his Twitter account despite proclamations of taking his social networking ball and going home because of all the Web 2.0 meanies. Well, Trent finally manned up and @trent_reznor is no more. I guess he just needed a few weeks to get around to it. You [...]

Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor knows how to pick his battles. In an interview with the Phillipines’ Daily Inquirer, Reznor states that the reason he’s announced the end of touring (at least for the time being), was to keep from becoming Gene Simmons. “What I specifically said or meant to convey is that NIN as [...]

Today’s Trent Reznor rant was brought on by a post he made on Twitter…wait, what? Didn’t he quit Twitter like a month ago in dramatic fashion? Oh savior of online marketing, how can we trust anything you say now? Our world is completely upside down. Hold me.

Trent Reznor made a lengthy post this morning on the Nine Inch Nails message board, offering his thoughts on operating as a new/unsigned artist. He praises Beastie Boys’ for joining the multitude-of-purchasing-choices-direct-from-artist brigade, and goes on to say unsigned bands should follow suit: If you’re forging your own path, read on. * Forget thinking you are going [...]
