Most states have a loophole in their laws which allows for the taking of another person's life if it is necessary in order to obtain a water bottle that has been touched by a member of Nine Inch Nails.

This and other fun facts at the Meathead Perspective, which has been entertaining me all day.

The review of the Starfuckers video also just about killed me dead, particularly the photo of Marilyn Manson captioned "Sarah Michelle Gellar in five years."

Oh yeah, and Trent Reznor in the audience for The Price is Right. I love that thesickcity always digs these strange things up.

And for NIN at MSG in November, I'm in Section 59, Row M. I was trying for floor tickets, which sold out instantly. :( I had a better seat in 2000 when Manson showed up; I'll try again for the Philadelphia show.

I've been listening to The Downward Spiral incessantly. I love this album so much. It's very weird to rediscover something that you knew inside-out ten years ago, but have barely heard since. I think part of the reason I stopped listening to NIN for a while was that it was (lyrically/emotionally) too close for comfort, and almost boring because it was such a reflection of emotions I was already immersed in. I doubt that makes sense, but, whatever, rediscovery works.

Ah, yes. Much love for Downward Spiral. For me, that was pretty much the NIN album (though I do like The Fragile quite a bit as well).

With Teeth didn't do anything for me, and is now residing somewhere on the roof of my office building.

Just found out they're coming to Portland in September, so I'm doing the happy dance.

Meathead perspective always has me laughing. I love the whole thing about the costumes for the new tour, and poor Jeordie wearing the wrong one.
I didn't even try for tickets this time around. I don't have a credit card and none of my friends were going, and I didn't feel like shlepping to MSG for potentially crapass seats. So I'll be home that night crying into my NIN poster (which I've adorned with big happy face stickers over the heads of the band).
