Nine Inch Nails Concert Review (Melbourne, The Metro, 13 May 2007)

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Nine Inch Nails played the Metro in Melbourne Sunday night, 13 May 2007. If you don’t know, the Metro is a small “intimate” venue, probably best known in Melbourne as a hang out for drunken bogan’s who want a dose of doof doof music. Sunday night, probably proves why the venue has such a reputation. [...]

Trent Reznor and the music gear behind the Fragile

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

This is one for the music geeks and gear whores. It’s an article about how certain sounds were obtained during the course of recording the Fragile. Mostly guitar related, so therefore I like it.

Young Modern | Silverchair | Album Review

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I have to admit, the first few times I listened to the first single from the new Silverchair album, Young Modern, I wasn’t all that impressed. Yet I found the chorus addictive and found myself singing it at the most inopportune of times. Clearly then, Young Modern was an album that demanded I give it [...]

Aaron North guitarist for NIN

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Here’s a cool picture of Aaron North getting some serious hang time whilst performing with Nine Inch Nails. With a little more training he could become the next Michael Jordan! This photo was posted on nin.com a while ago. It’s a strange site navigation wise, but there is some cool stuff for the NIN fan.

Nas – ‘Illmatic’ (Album Review)

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

The 1994 debut album from Nas, ‘Illmatic’, is highly regarded. It turned up at number 400 in Rolling Stone’s list of the top 500 greatest albums of all time. Being a lemming, I thought it was about time that I checked it out, so I picked up the 10th anniversary edition (that includes the six [...]

If you’ve got a Mac and are running ProTools, then chances are one day you’ll get a “Neo Access Error”. In that case, you’ll want to read this, fixing a Neo Access Error in ProTools.

“Survivalism” available for download

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Checking out my MySpace page this morning I found out that Trent Reznor has released a track from Year Zero, “Survivalism”, in Garage Band format from the official Year Zero page. This means you can create your own NIN remix. Reznor did the same thing with a couple of tracks from With Teeth, which proved [...]

Chris Cornell departs Audioslave

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

This news is a few weeks old now, but I must have been hiding under a rock because I missed it. A media release was posted on Chris Cornell’s myspace page announcing that Cornell has quit Audioslave. WOOHOO! Cornell is permanently departing super-group Audioslave stating, “Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, [...]

Nine Inch Nails Australian Tour 2007

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Just got lucky and picked up tickets to see Nine Inch Nails on the Australian Tour in May. Playing smaller venues this time around, as aposed to the 10,000+ sized venues of the last tour, so the ticket buying process was tense. Now I just need to wait until May so that NIN can rock [...]

Nine Inch Nails release two tracks from ‘year zero’

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Two new tracks from the forthcoming Nine Inch Nails album, ‘year zero’ are up on the NIN myspace page. The tracks are ‘survivalism’ and ‘my violent heart’, and based on what I can hear through my rubbish computer speakers, sound more aggressive and abrasive than anything from ‘With Teeth’. The new album is scheduled for [...]

Please allow Bruce Willis to rock your world

Friday, February 16th, 2007

This has to be one of my all time favourite movie moments. I know what your thinking, one of my all time favourite movie moments features Bruce Willis, yeah, I’m a sick freak, do you have a problem with that? In my opinion, Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello should have hit the recording studio and [...]
