grr i said fuck it and listened to the leak of nin’s “My Violent Heart”. I shouldn’t have. that’s all i’m really gonna say. oh who am i kidding? can hear a saul williams influence on it BIG time. the spoken word, the back beat etc. i don’t know. i just don’t know. i’m not sure if this makes me excited or not. maybe this will be like the fragile, where it’s hard to listen to a single song from that album, outside of the context of the whole package. i guess that’s where i am after 1 listening. :-/ i’ve always said i could listen to trent talk for ages, so yeah i admit, the spoken word is quite teh hotness.

i admit this whole ARG/viral marketing stuff is pretty clever, tho it’s gotten way too involved for me to continue paying attention. and i don’t feel like i’m missing out of anything because i’m not participating.

i have to say, the burst of static at the end of the My Violent Heart leaked mp3 produces quite the image when you do spectral analysis of the ending burst of static

and that’s pretty clever. that’s the only word i can think of to describe all of this,( though it’s been done before by Aphex Twin). clever (how’s that working out for you?). oh, and the image, it’s supposedly of The Presence which is talked about in the ARG. creepy.

and as far as the leak is concerned…it was pretty much done on purpose, which is how i justify listening to it haha. the song was found on a usb/flash drive left in the mens bathroom at the lisbon concert – with more of these drives showing up in the mens room of the madrid show too.
