c.s.y.:

Matt Jones:

> I just got halo 4. I think, in Get Down Make Love, I heard a sped-up, possibly reversed, sample from the original vocals. It’s during the weird sounds towards the end of the track. Anyone know if this is real, or just more analog synth?

In the original version of this song by Queen, there is a strange part in the song as well, with weird “bddldldlddbdldlddddburp” noises and Freddie moaning/groaning/singing/whatever.

Anyways, this weird part from the original is what was sampled in the NIN cover, methinks…

As far as I can tell, after being a fan of both Queen and nin for quite a while (simple statement, no flames necessary), I’d be willing to bet that all that ‘sample’ is, is holding down the fast forward button on a cd player and panning it back and forth during the goofball experimental middle section of GDML. Oh yeah, plus the WWRY riff at the end. Yowza.

Question: Has anyone out there heard of a NIN live CD?

The only one I know of is Solid Gold Hell, available as an import from Cocomelos Records. Decent enough, although I wouldn’t rave about it. The first four tracks have the best recording quality, the rest of them were obviously recorded from somewhere in the audience, and on some you can hear more of the testosterone-laden ass next to the tape recorder singing than Trent! I figure it’s worth having for those first four tracks…but if you can get it used, do that before blowing the money for the full import price.

Um, the Fixed CD is no longer in print…and after trying to find a copy for myself, I can say without reservation that it is NOT “easily found.” Heck, I ended up paying something like $9 for it because it is so hard to find.

Really? Bizarre…up here in Anchorage, it actually is fairly ‘easy to find,’ as both locations of Mammoth Music (the local ‘alternative’ music store) regularly have at least one copy on the shelves, and I even see it fairly regularly at Camelot…

Tell ya what…anybody wants a copy, send me a check/money order made out to either Mammoth Music or Camelot Records (saves you from worrying about my cashing your check), and I’ll send you a copy of Fixed…we can work out postage later…

Hello, anyone know how many pressings were made of the special 3 inch CD included in the first releases of Broken by NIN. Also which countries got this release and does anyone know the song titles. One’s an Adam Ant cover, and I think the other is Pigface?

Thanks.

Don’t know the technical info (only that I got the 3-incher up here in Alaska), but the songs are “Too Physica” by Adam Ant, and “Suck” by Pigface. Suck is available on a couple different Pigface albums in a couple different versions…don’t have ’em myself (wish I did) but heard ’em at a friends…

All I know is that the local Mucusland (Musicland) moved the date in their little book for his new album from October/November to January. Ergh…starting to get torqued at this!

Am on a quest of sorts…

According to a DJ at the local college radio station (88.1 KRUA, if you’re ever up in Anchorage AK), there was a sampler put out by Hollywood records a while back with a remix (not remake) of Queen’s Stone Cold Crazy, remixed by Trent Reznor. I’ve heard it on the station twice, but never been able to find it…

Would anyone have an idea as to the name of the sampler, whether it’s still available, or where I might be able to get ahold of it? Local record stores have been next to no help…

Any help is greately appreciated…
