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 [...]

This rumor was so hot, we didn’t even hear it. But apparently Metal Hammer reported over the weekend that a new Fragile-esque Nine Inch Nails album was about to be released as NIN raps up its final tour. And then they retracted. Journalism!

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 [...]

Compared to many other music industry veterans, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor just gets it when it comes to new media. He gave up (see what we did there?) on major labels, instead distributing his last album, The Slip, via the Internet. And the leadup to his studio album before that, Year Zero, was an elaborate [...]
