Nine Inch Nails: Broken


I'm gonna start writing about albums I absolutely love and that are close to my chest.

While I enjoy The Downward Spiral, this is NIN's best album.  It's an EP but every song is so good.  This album is to blame for some really bad industrial rip off music.  A lot of people say that Trent Reznor is ripping off Ministry, but he does it better.  these songs are so raw and they were meant to be that way, plus since the album was recorded in secret as a big screw you to his record label at the time it only gets better.  "Gave Up" is hands down my favorite NIN song.  I listened to this thing so much in high school; it was insane.  After buying Downward Spiral I wasn't sure about this band, but then I got this EP off of a recommendation, and I'm fucking happy I did.  The only other song that comes close to "Gave Up" in my mind is "The Perfect Drug", and that came out yearssssss later.  If I'm bored I will usually put this on.

As I've always said, I've never been depressed, but I love the sounds Reznor comes up with because he is truly unique.

my stupid dreams: part 1

so I decided this will be a good place to detail the few dreams I actually remember, seeing how I barely ever remember them.

So it starts off that I'm in a van going to Marine World, which is cool, but I'm in a van with Soundgarden/Audioslave singer Chris Cornell, Steven Segal, Kurt Russell and Danny Glover.  There might have been others but I can't remember.  We get to Marine World, Segal pukes after 2 roller coasters, Glover tries to break into a tiger cage but fails.  Next, Kurt Russell really wants to get a churro, so we all follow him, but there are no churros to be found anywhere in Marine World, so he gets super pissed and starts to beat the shit out of employees until they find him a churro.  After no churro can be found we all decided to go get some lunch.  We walk into a building in the food court and then realize we are in a Safeway.  Who knew Marine World had a Safeway in it!  And the food wasn't over-priced!  Danny Glover disappears at this point, Kurt Russell and Steven Segal decide to get sandwiches but Chris Cornell and I want some soup and chips.  We go to the counter to see what the soup of the day is only to find out that they are only carrying one soup, The Alexander.  The counter person tells us that it's Hillary Clinton's favorite soup.  Neither of us know whats in this soup so I ask to see the label of the soup to find out whats in it.  The ingredients read: sourdough, sourdough, sourdough.  

I then wake up, and I am just as confused as ever.

"Maverick" is one of the best films ever.

"First time I met the hombre I smelt nothing but trouble, and refried beans."

Damn this movie is gold, Mel Gibson, river boat gambling, indians, Jodie Foster being a cock tease, shooting people, the old West.  Too bad Mel is crazy, because he is so awesome in this one.
