Massive Attack live at Super Bock Surf Fest 2008

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I interrupt this never announced blogging hiatus to talk about the Massive Attack show at the Super Bock Surf Fest 2008 at Sagres, Portugal, which was, in one word, awesome.
First of all, i think they risked a lot by playing 7 (that’s right, seven !) new songs at a festival, but i think the overall […]

New NIN single: Discipline

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

About one year after the release of Year Zero and less than 6 months after the release of Ghosts, the Nine Inch Nails have released a new single and apparently are preparing to release a new album as well. The single was first released to radios (and ETS went crazy once again) and later in […]

Say what ?

My nickname on a Year Zero site ?!
The latest chapter in the Year Zero ARG makes all NIN fans part of it. Well, at least all of those who are part of The Spiral or Echoing The Sound (and believe me, that’s a lot of people: NIN has a huge online community). I’m 24.24.2.2468 on […]
