• Live in L.A.: Nine Inch Nails, the Forum, September 6

  By Siran Babayan Somebody owes Mr. Self Destruct a great big apology. You know him, Trent Reznor, he who hates everyone. Radio hasn’t given Nine Inch Nails the airplay it used to. And at the risk of setting off torch-wielding fans, NIN’s last two albums, 2007’s Year Zero and this year’s The Slip have left me cold, and not in the way us Ninnies like to feel. But a mere two years after the band’s last stop here, I was reminded that seeing NIN live is to be blinded by the light, many lig

• The 10 Songs/Albums That No One Should Ever Have Sex to Again

  Because playing these albums in flagrante delicto is the only romantic gesture lamer than offering a woman a fish sandwich. 10. Cornball Stevie Wonder Songs (I.E. "You are the Sunshine of My Life." "I Just Called to Say I Love You") I'm not going to tell you that these songs don't serve a purpose--they do: father-daughter dances at Bat-Mitzvah's, weddings between accountants and interpreted with the polyester flair by Marty and Elayne at the Dresden. Unless your goal is inducing flash

• Idealist Propaganda: The Raw Power of Glen E. Friedman

  Photos by Erin Broadley. Click images for entire Idealist Propaganda slideshow."Search and Destroy" funnels out onto the 10:30 p.m. Saturday Sunset Blvd. sidewalk, violently greeting late-arrivals to Glen E. Friedman's Idealist Propaganda exhibit. Iggy's cocaine cacophony carves up Tymphanic cavities. Like a pistol gripped power drill, James Williamson's guitar rattles the window panes of the poor saps staying at the Echo Park Super 8, adjacent to Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects gallery. Go

• The 50 Best Albums of the Year (#10-1) (Sponsored By My Secret Identity )

  And people acted surprised when Jerry O' Connell landed Rebecca Romjin. 10. Why? Alopecia (Anticon) It's tough to write about Why?'s breakout record without anxiously jotting down a few choice lyrics from songwriter Yoni Wolf's notebook. Not to downplay its musicianship, but Alopecia is foremost a lyrical masterpiece. Wolf muses on relationships, sex, and especially death (the album opens with him faking his own death and ends with him actually doing the deed) with the detailed eye and wi

• Nine Inch Nails iPhone App Rejected: Trent Reznor is Pissed, Posts E-Mail from Apple on NIN Forum

  On May 2 Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor broke the news via Twitter that Apple had rejected the updated NIN iPhone app because it contained "objectionable content," specifically lyrics on the album The Downward Spiral. Needless to say, Reznor is pissed. After posting Apple's rejection e-mail on the NIN forum, Reznor followed up with a rant on the company's policies, which he suggests are hypocritical: "Hey Apple, I just got some SPAM about fucking hot asian teens THROUGH YOUR MAIL PROGRAM. I just

• Another Free Download from NIN

  Yet another free download from Trent Reznor is available from the Nine Inch Nails website. No new full-length LP this time - in fact no new NIN music at all, but a batch of songs from the bands that are opening for them on their summer tour. Here's what you get for the cheap price of coughing up your email address: 1. a place to bury strangers: to fix the gash in your head 2. does it offend you, yeah?: we are rockstars 3. crystal castles: crimewave (crystal castles vs HEALTH) 4. dee

• LA Flashback: Nine Inch Nails Live at Helter Skelter

  Tonight, Nine Inch Nails begins a streak of gigs at relatively small clubs across Los Angeles. While this may seem like a strange decision for a band at the end of a wildly successful career, Trent Reznor and company are no strangers to the LA club scene. Below, we found video stemming from NIN's February, 1991 show at Helter Skelter.

• Nine Inch Nails at Palladium: Sweat and Darkness

  Never let it be said that Trent Reznor can't admit when he's wrong. Last spring's co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction was an exciting idea; two alt-rock giants -- one exiting the music scene, the other re-entering -- hitting the road together. But it wasn't NIN's tour to steal. Maybe it was Reznor's decision to open for Jane's Addiction, or maybe it was having to see NIN during the day, which, for industrial music fans, is unnatural and against God's plan. Either way, Re

• Last Night: Nine Inch Nails at the Henry Fonda Theater

  Amidst false stops and starts, including a scheduling lapse that caused us to miss Health (we're hoping to see them tonight at the Troubadour), the Nine Inch Nails show last night at the Henry Fonda Theater was punctuated by interruptions and surprises, most of them pleasant, and all mediated in real time. Originally scheduled for Sept 3rd, yesterday's Fonda show was the second-to-last stop on Reznor's "Wave Goodbye" tour; the final stop will be the Wiltern show, which was planned for last Sa
