Re: Cool that UW digs NIN and vice versa!
 

It's just nice in general to see our boys impress some heavy hitters out there. Whether you think Trent is relevant or not or whether or not you like his albums, there's still something about the degree of seriousness and sincerity that doesn't rinse away with one wash.

Of course, this all goes back to my views of what makes an artist and artist and it's all extremely subjective but as a fan, I'm allowed to be that way... :)

I always liked the idea of this mutual respect between two very distinct musicians, that while making very different music seem to share very similar tastes in design and ideas in music, design, and production.

More connections. I didn't realize Tomato was thanked in The Fragile's liner notes.

Also, any truth to the statement that Tomato was doing the unfinished The Day The Whole World Went Away video?

yes - they did do the video for "The Day the Whole World Went Away" video, as well as the artwork for the cd single.

I have the video on my external HD still... I think - so if you don't mind waiting a bit - I'll upload it somewhere

you can also access the video on the NIN live dvd f/ the Fragile Tour (forget title)... you have to press/do something during the performance of said track to get to the tomato video. So it's the live version audio over the video...

I actually quite liked it - it's too bad it didn't get finished

Interesting. All this time I had no idea. Here's the video:

In the vein of Trent's live show attendance: I read an interview with either Ogre or Trent, last year I think, about going to see Air in LA together. WOW wouldn't it be cool if you ended up sitting next to Ogre and Trent Reznor at an Air concert?
