The Mouth Mask Race Is On – NINE INCH NAILS Launch Their ‘Modular Face Mask Starter Kit’

Posted on by TUTV!

Countless bands/artists already launched mouth masks with their logo, pics, or covers of their albums on and now it seems that a money and marketing-driven race has started. Who develops the most original mouth masks? And the winner is (so far)… NINE INCH NAILS with their brand new Modular Face Mask Starter Kit.

“Face masks with interchangeable messages for these uncertain time,” said
the Trent Reznor fronted band in a press statement. More info here.
Who has the next unique idea?

SHARON VAN ETTEN Covers Gripping Ballad ‘HURT’ By NINE INCH NAILS

Posted on by TUTV!

The magnificent SHARON VAN ETTEN shared her affecting cover of HURT, the gripping ballad by industrial rockers NINE INCH NAILS from their 1994 album The Downward Spiral.

Van Etten covered the song for a special reason: “I recently spoke with Sounds Of Saving and performed a cover of “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. Sounds Of Saving is an organization aiming to reduce our country’s suicide rate, an effort I care deeply about.”

Here’s her short interview with Sounds Of Saving and her magical performance of Hurt…

As much as I love Sharon‘s rendition, my ears, my heart, and soul still prefer the version by the late great Johnny Cash. Nine Inch Nail’s maestro Trent Reznor said he cried when he heard Cash’s most touching exploit…

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘ The Downward Spiral’ – NINE INCH NAILS…

Posted on by TUTV!

Great longplayers from the past…

‘The Downward Spiral’
NINE INCH NAILS
Release: 8 March 1994
Second album

Rolling Stone wrote: “NIN achieve a new kind of loud on The Downward Spiral: accessible hard-rock moves overlaid with a scrim of electronic racket, white noise, screams, the kind of blown-speaker rattle that seems to use the limitations of crappy stereo equipment the way that Hendrix riffed on the distortion that howled from overdriven Marshall stacks. It’s a new frontier in rock & roll: music that pins playback levels far into the red. You have only two options with this album: Play it too softly, or play it too loud. Reznor’s voice seduces and insinuates where it previously expressed itself only in animal screams; it slithers into your ears and curls up somewhere near the medulla oblongata. This album is about music the blade runner might throw down to: low-tech futurism that rocks.”
