A Warm Place: The NIИ Hotline - Просмотр профиля

At Webster Hall in New York City tonight, Nine Inch Nails played the The Downward Spiral in its entirety, front to back, followed by nearly a dozen additional songs. Words cannot sufficiently convey the bristling intensity of the setlist. At one point, Trent paused to note the significance of the moment, telling the audience they had witnessed history as he'd always wanted to play the album in full and probably never will again. The event's being discussed here and here on ETS and here on nin.com, and probably several others places on both messageboards. Check it out.

Keeping in line with my previous update about re-listing Ally's boots on eBay - which is aimed at collectors — Devon over on ETS has launched an amazing cataloging site, aptly named "NINCatalog.com" . Those who can say that one of their favorite hobbies is collecting rare NIN items will find this site indispensible. Here's what Devon has to say about the site:

The site started with my personal collection, and has expanded significantly with the help of a number of ETSers. The goal of this website: to create a definitive NIN catalog website and have it continue indefinitely. Copies of the site's content will be distributed on a regular basis to make sure the thing doesn't die if I happen to disappear; this site belongs to the community.
If you wish to contribute scans of your items to the new site, be sure to contact Devon via email.

Over at nin.su, you can check out some photos from an amazing looking fan-organized release party for …Niggy Tardust! and Year Zero Remixed, as well as shots from a previous gathering just for the hell of it. Attendees were treated to a live performances by local bands (coming soon to a YouTube near you) and DJ Heinali played a set mixing Niggy, YZR and other classics. Not the type to let the first performance by NIN in their country slip by undocumented, they've just put together a DVD of the Moscow performance — check out the screen shots here. Thanks to Xvostya for putting all this together and keeping on my ass about posting it, heh.

Head on over to nin.com and you'll be able to read all of the details about the many versions of Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D. The album will officially be available on November 20th, which we had reported a few days ago, both online and in stores.

Again, we're reporting it here because it's really big news.

About a month ago, The Limitless Potential was released on Painful Convictions, to no small amount of fanfare. One complaint that arose was the lack of availability of higher quality versions of the tracks. After chasing down a number of remixers, now all but five tracks on the compilation are available as high bitrate MP3s. So if you go nuts when you hear compression artifacts in hihats and cymbals, go back and download the higher bitrate versions and feel somewhat more satisfied about yourself.
