a little ep of my friends

Nine Inch Nails Offer A Free Taste Of Their Summer Line-Up


This week in free Nine Inch Nails shit: Trent is offering a free EP of tracks from bands on his upcoming "Lights In The Sky" summer tour: A Place To Bury Strangers, Crystal Castles, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and Deerhunter, as well as the Ninnies themselves. It may not be as awesome as another free album (see, Trent, you give us everything and we only want more, more, more! It's just like one of your lyrics), but it's totally free and might inspire fans of the headliner to show up early and recognize at least one song by each of the openers. Not that Trent's live act won't blow them all off the stage. [NIN/YouTube]

Trent Reznor Will Only Bring The Best New Music On Tour With Him

Opening for this summer's Nine Inch Nails tour, which kicks off at the Pemberton Festival before fanning out across the country: Crystal Castles, Deerhunter, A Place To Bury Strangers, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, and White Williams. Average Pitchfork score of the five openers' albums: 7.14—but it goes up to 8.3 if you toss out Tom Ewing's pan of the Does It Offend You, Yeah? album. Tour dates and openers after the jump. More »

Deerhunter's Bradford Cox has, for some reason, posted a series of YouTube clips that make up the entire movie D.A.R.Y.L on his blog. Hey, you're probably not working today anyway, right? If you squint hard enough, YouTube's crappy fidelity can almost replicate that of a low-powered UHF station from back in the day! [Deerhunter]

LA Weekly writer disses Deerhunter in print, Deerhunter main man Bradford Cox sends along defensive e-mail, fighting and LOLing and cut-and-pasting and a sorta-funny joke utilizing Linus from Peanuts ensue. This is one of those arguments where you don't "take sides" as much as you "regret the invention of the Internet." [The Passion Of The Weiss]

Deerhunter lead singer Bradford Cox on his eventful Friday night: "The guy put his gun up to my temple and said 'give me EVERYTHING motherfucker I aint fucking with you' I just mumbled something and he put his hands in my pants and took everything I had. My cellphone, my wallet (empty except for credit / bank cards which kristin immidietly cancelled, and about 450 dollars in cash I had for my rent.) They also got all of Lockett's money. They even took my fucking Camel Ultralights and Orange Bic. All I can say is that I'm glad we are not dead. Or more specifically, I am REALLY glad they didn't hurt Lockett." [deerhunter]

Listening Station: Deerhunter Puts Us In The Crosshairs

Everybody loves Deerhunter! Well, maybe not everybody, but certainly everybody who enjoys droning, drifting guitar melodies and the occasional peyote chip. The Atlanta quintet has been a Hype Machine perennial for months, so Lord only knows why we're only getting to them now, but better late, etc.: More »

Assumer Guide: Hunting Bunnies and Kicking Shins

As Consumer Guide tastemaker Robert Christgau once noted, there is so much recorded media coming forth every day, from major-label pushes to Myspace uploads, that it is physically impossible to listen to it all. Our disgruntled postal carrier brings more bubble-packed mailers daily, and there's no hope of our "to listen to" pile going down anytime soon. More »
