I don't know how to make that a tour or anything exactly but uh that lineup is too good to be just a one off.

I wonder how much overlap of sets there will be, and what the stage spacing will be like. There are a few headlining bands I'd like to see that might conflict.

Hopefully Puppy gets some dusk/evening light to their set, or maybe some stages are indoors? Seeing Puppy doing their thing in the middle of the afternoon is akin to walking through a pro haunted house with all the lights turned on.

Is Al still obsessed with thrash or is Ministry back to making good music? I haven't paid attention to them for a while.

Neither? From what I heard from AmeriKKKant (2018) it's too slow to be thrash, but I wouldn't call it super compelling either.

He also made a 2016 one-off side project called Surgical Meth Machine that is mostly incoherently fast industrial thrash (but not in a good way like Nailbomb). However, I'm Invisible shows that he could probably still make a good album if he cared (maybe he needs a producer or something?):

That song is awesome, it also sounds tailor-made to be on the soundtrack of a Lynch project. Shame the rest of the album is nothing like it because if it was it would be the best thing he's put out since Houses of the Mole, which wasn't great but did have some moments. I checked out Amerikkkant as well and it was incredibly disappointing, except for one track where I heard Al playing harmonica again which was awesome and something that he should do a lot more.

The best part of AmeriKKKant were the “fans” that got really upset by the shocking revelation that Uncle Al has left wing political opinions. Maybe they only paid attention to his 9/11 truther flirtations

I liked the entire Bush Trilogy but I consider that to be their end and Cover Up a nice coda.

Yeah, I saw they made a video for the Antifa track and clicked it just for the comments which were sadly predictable.

Al's always been political and had left wing anti-imperialist & anti-capitalist views that he's been very vocal about. Back in the mid 80's he was writing songs criticizing the US invasion of Grenada. I think he's more upfront about things now but that just makes it even more confusing, he's so forward with his views that I do not understand how anyone can be genuinely shocked by them unless they're trolling.

I can't put my finger on why/when people began thinking that all these bands which are rebellious by nature would be writing right-wing anthems but it's bizarre to see. The Rage Against the Machine comment reminds me of the band having to get involved and prevent their songs being used at some Trump rallies or something? Another time someone whined about their politics until Tom Morello pointed out he got his doctorate at Harvard.

I think it was Trump. A lot of his supporters only believed what he said, not what he did. Both Al and Trump railed against typical big business pro-war politicians so that must mean that Al was on the MAGA train right!? Never mind that “draining the swamp” meant filling it with sewer rats.

I think generally we just underestimate how little most people have actually paid attention to politics for most of their lives -- usually privileged people, since they basically don't have to. A bunch of those people are now plugged into Fox News or worse, and suddenly everything that isn't explicitly Conservative Evangelical is actually part of a godless communist liberal plot against them.

Which is funny because Trump is the epitome of a big business and pro-war politician. People really did just completely tune out the actions of the man and only pay attention to what he said and the fake construct of himself that he built. If he behaved in the exact same manner but was a Democrat those same people would have lost their minds (well, more so, and to even more dangerous levels).

Steering the conversation back to NIN, as well as being one of the best album closers (top 3 alongside Hurt & Zero-Sum for me) I really liked the live performance of Right Where It Belongs with the projection screen. I've always considered it a very personal and self-reflective song for Trent given he was fresh out of recovery but it works so well with that imagery as a political statement too.

New ixi analysis on the TDS title track:

Some good stuff in there buried in the mix that I've never noticed (like the Eraser 'moaning'), and it makes me want to revisit Further Down the Spiral for some of the remixes.

This looks to have an appropriate pretentious to poor production value ratio. (IMO) I hope it's just a lovely looking trailer and the feature is better.
The cinematography looks very "mid-budget TV movie".

Seems weird to have Trent & Atticus produce an album about pregnancy. Obviously the fact she's promoting the hell about of them doing it (which is rare enough for producers) is meant to set a tone but unless she's birthing Damien, it seems off.

I dunno, there's plenty of scope to do a 'dark' concept about pregnancy. You reference Damien but the whole horror of stories like that, Rosemarys Baby etc comes from the fact that birth is inherently kind of weird.

Everything related to child birth is dark. The ripping and tearing. The fluids. The fact that you're bringing another disgusting human being into this doomed Earth to do either nothing but suffer or cause suffering. It's a bad scene all around and it should be abolished, IMHO.
