I realize I’m a day late in commenting on this, but time flies and there’s other things happening in the world. Still, this is almost too good NOT to mention. What I’m talking about is the video that’s emerged this week of Nine Inch Nails performing on a super cheesy late 80’s/early 90’s live dance TV show called “Dance Party USA”. They played “Down In It”, Trent Reznor has long hair wrapped in a scrunchie, and white teens are “dancing” to it. Hilarious? You’d better believe it. But it also says something about NIN, which Trent Reznor naturally took to the Internet to help clarify: “Many years ago, a young and naive Nine Inch Nails were asked what TV shows they’d be interested in appearing on. As a joke (and likely drunk), they thought of the most absurd choice they could come up with at the time. They were then informed their bluff had been called and were actually booked on said show… They hopped in their Honda Civic touring vehicle (hatchback) and travelled many miles to (I think) NJ for the big show. They had a laugh making fun of the people, their fashion choices and hairstyles.” Good times, right guys? Okay, let’s talk current, hot off the presses new music right now in today’s Pick Your Poison. Today I’ll recommend tracks from Dntel, The Forty Nineteens, Magic Trick, OFF!, Parlovr, and Teen Daze.
