Gonzi,
sometimes you drive us all nuts, but man I am with you on what you just wrote!
Too bad I missed the Metrop show last night, damn! I did happen to hear one of
the tracks on his new single, not the title track but one that is just madness of
scratching on top of a beat, I am thrilled with this shit. DJ SHADOW is wicked
and a true artist. Reznor is a business man. He knows what he's doing and the
dollar is helping him right along. However, Reznor paid his dues in the
beginning, he was just right time right place and now he can sucker all the kids
with crappy music/gloomy image. Tough shit for the marylin Manson/reznor
fans, they just don't realize that this whole thing has been before (KISS/Alice
Cooper).

I too am ashamed Plug is associated with the Nothing label, but like I said,
Reznor knows his shit as a businessman. Sometimes a label's name could be a
good indicator of the music it releases, cause there sures is nothing good comming
from that NOTHING label, hopefully PLUG will not stay on too long.

I can't believe I am seeing booth and brown in the same sentence as reznor.
Something is just not right. AFAIK, Booth and Brown, RDJ, etc, they do their
own work, not hire someone to do it. That's why he's a leech. Pretty crystal clear
if you ask me....

Yeah, I go to them swap meats myself, usually looking for car parts for my
uncle's '36 Chevy, but Shadow is right. I see tons and tons of vinyl. Learn from
the masters folks, if you're a vinyl sampling freak (I am not) get off yer ass. Seek
and you shall find!!!

Again, Trent was making some killer tracks around 90 too! Not drum n bass,
nevertheless he was ahead of some in the crowd. Perry Farrel picked his ass up
on that Lollipop tour and now Trent is a millionare, maybe he should be paying
Perry for his fame and his 'leechness'???

Yeah, he's an idiot. I saw him on the first Lollipop tour and he blew everyone
away. I thought he was gonna revolutionize music, never happened imo. He
wasn't all that cheesey at that show, but then his next tour (downward
spiral)he's destroying keyboards (ala 70's KISS and their guitars) every two
minutes or so. The whole Alice Cooper/Kiss things has been done already Trent.
Ok, i am getting off topic. I guess I could let Gonzi do the talking for me on this
one.
