I guess I'm different among NIN fans because his soundtrack and instrumental work, while great, for me doesn't stand up to his actual songs with vocals. I have very little interest in hearing an album conceived as songs stripped of their most unique attribute: Trent's voice.

You don't think this sounds more like Broken and Downward Spiral than anything he's released since?

If it gets a Halo number, it's NIN, right?

Do you happen to know why the album version of Starfuckers has the Carly Simon interpolation intact but on the single/video version, the lyric is changed? I've always wondered.

So that's why they rarely play it live! That's an incredible opinion to have of the one thing that tided us NIN fans over between Downward Spiral and The Fragile.

Fuck I'm Dead you say?

OK. I disagree with your assessment of the music but if that is the only song you'd ever heard of Midnight Oil, I guess you could perceive it that way. All good.

Don't be obtuse. The song and video are about genocide.

Angel Dust is incredible.

What's funny about genocide?

Not being a SF nerd or gamer, I have (somehow) managed to avoid all the gamergate stuff (like, even what it really is) so I might not quite understand that but I'll give it a read too. Cheers.

I haven't seen the Doors but I can completely understand how that would be the case.

Chuck Klosterman profiled Val Kilmer in this really 'Isn't he crazy?' way and one of the choice quotes was Kilmer saying something like he knew how to better portray a rock star than Jim Morrison would have. (Might have been a different role he was talking about but the same idea.) And Klosterman treats it like it's…

Wow. That letter is really something. Thank you for the context you gave it; it would be even more bewildering without it. I mean, "Oh, of course I have an intense emotional reaction against this sex — after all I'm a product of this culture, but also I'm not conventionally religious and I think that everyone should…

Almost certainly yes. A backing musician to a solo artist shouldn't really ever make said solo artist cancel a tour. That's ludicrous.

Just in case anyone cares, that sign-off line, "“I will see you in extremely far-off places,” is a reference to one of his songs ('I Will See You In Far Off Places'), something the 'emphasis his' makes me think the writer didn't realise.

Whatever the failings of the revival, I think it did a good job to highlight that after Richard's death, the 'old Emily' isn't around anymore.

Yeah, if Queen really did have to start touring with new singers, George Michael would have been a great choice.

Yes! I would also like to know why this is a thing.

Yeah, that would have been great. I recently binged House (I had never finished the show in its original run, so it was only a partial rematch); that last season in particular is awful. In fact, as bad as it can get, there's no turning back once House literally drives his car into Cuddy's house for some ridiculous…
