Review by: Adrian Onsen (aka Outsider)
Being a Trent Reznor fan from the early industrial days, I sometimes look him up to see what he’s been producing musically.
On June 1, 2010, there was a free EP released called How To Destroy Angels by the group with the same name, How to destroy Angels. The band is comprised of Trent, his wife Mariqueen Maandig-Reznor and Trent’s long-time collaborator Atticus Ross. The group is named after a 1984 Coil single of the same name.
The EP is very typical of Trent’s last few NIN albums (With Teeth, Year Zero), and many elements will be recognized throughout the 6 tracks on this EP. The mood of the album is downbeat and quite mellow for the most part. This EP pretty much sounds like another NIN album, just with a new band name and there’s no revolutionary changes with the exception of the majority of vocals being done by Mariqueen. If you enjoyed Trent’s NIN material of the past 10 years, this release will make a welcome addition to your Trent library. If you’ve been on the fence about Trent’s recent releases, this EP is unique enough that it certainly deserves a listen.
There’s a full album to be released sometime in 2011 (the fall?) which Trent refereed to as “more beat oriented” in a recent interview with Times Talk.
Download the free album from the How To Destroy Angels website or you can buy it from amazon.com for $5.94?

How does one go about starting their own radio sattion? Are there laws or restrictions or some kind of form I should know about or fill out? Does anyone know any websites or reliable sources of information that can accurately answer these questions? The radio sattion would be small, of course, and would play a variety of music, have a few talk shows, and it would be (at first) voluntary, until enough money can be raised to pay people. Local bands and businesses could adverstise as well. Main target: teenagers, high schoolers, recent high school graduates.If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!

Is that really all there is to it because that’d be flabbergasting.

Let's use a little common sense. Assuming that IMF guy is innocent, the first thing he and his lawyers will demand is that the hotel maid be given a polygraph test. Now trained agents can supposedly fool the polygraph, but young hotel chambermaids probably can't, and her story will quickly break down.I thought everyone already knew polygraphs are shit. Their utility is basically confined to that of a prop used to bluff the uninformed into confessions. Our conspirator-maid would be informed.

Weather usually doesn’t bother me much, but we’ve occasionally had wind here that lasted for a day or two that actually shook the walls of this old farmhouse. Doors weren’t shifting in their jams, they were actually buzzing.That drove me a little batty after a while.
