Dear pixote,

So it was Daryl Hannah that took you away for a while?

I always wondered what she's like in real life.

Dear AT&T DSL,

I know you like to freeze up and lose the internet connection at random times. I'm sure this is fun for you, but it's not fun for you. I don't ask for much from you, just play my porn, let me write whatever I want to write and don't spaz out, that's all. Please stop, I don't want to switch ISP's again.

Yours truly,
Bill

Dear Chris Cornell,

Your record really CINECAST!ing sucks.  You've sold out and decided to become a product.  Now who's laughing?

Signed,


Void

P.S.

Trent Reznor is right.  It's very uncomfortable to listen to a record as embarrassing as yours.

I don't understand the hate either, but I do understand the love for the new YYY's. What I don't understand is how someone like Trent Reznor who hasn't made anything beyond a borderline good album in close to 10 years is chiming in on the matter, and to go along with that,

Dear Trent Reznor,

You no longer matter, deal with it.

All the best,
Bill

Trent Reznor did some good work on that El-P track "Flyentology." I'm not too hot on the CD as a whole, but I respect El-P for what he does and he's an interesting guy. Not too sure about Reznor, but NIN has never really been my type of music. "The Hand That Feeds," "Capital G," and some other song are fun to listen to in Rock Band though.

What you just said is bullshit.  Year Zero is easily the best thing he did since The Downward Spiral as it was an album that was cohesive.  Didn't sound like previous NIN albums.  Lyrically, it was a new step for Trent and he took new risks with that record.  Ghosts I-IV though not for everyone, was the record he always he wanted to do and succeeded.  Taking on a record that is just an instrumental record with several people and making it unpredictable and moody while selling it on the net for $5 is pretty damn cool to me.  It was the most daring thing he did since The FragileThe Slip, though not perfect sequence wise, is NIN at its raw yet simple form as it was a record that rocked and dabbled into previous NIN styles and instrumentals.  The singles from With Teeth are great while the album is good despite its lyrical repetitiveness. 

I think Trent Reznor has done a lot more interesting music with NIN and outside of NIN that is way better than Chris Cornell's bullshit record.  Reznor is at least not slaving away to what record executives want and is in it for himself.  Would Chris Cornell give away free multi-track files to fans to remix free of charge?  Would Cornell give away 400GB of unedited raw video footage for fans to edit to make their own concert DVD?  I don't think so.  Plus, Reznor's work on that El-P track kicked ass along with the Saul Williams album he produced.  And he might be producing the new Jane's Addiction album.  He's the one who will get it right instead of what Bob Ezrin went for on the band's last album. 

Plus, Pitchfork has been praising Reznor as of late and they were often very snotty towards NIN.  They'll be giving NIN 5-7 pt. reviews for whatever happens next while Cornell is likely to get a well-deserved 0 for being a complete sell-out who made a record that doesn't appeal to either his rock fans or Timbaland's club crowd.  Reznor was just stating what everyone else was saying about that record.

So much for a Soundgarden reunion.

Probably for the best, Soundgarden is no good.
