“The Hand That Feeds” Nine Inch Nails “The Hand that Feeds” Nine Inch Nails You're keeping in step Just how deep do you believe? In the line Will you bite the hand that feeds? Got your chin held high and you feel just Will you chew until it bleeds? fine Can you get up off your knees? Because you do Are you brave enough to see? What you're told Do you want to change it? But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold So naive I keep holding on to what I want to believe Just how deep do you believe? I can see Will you bite the hand that feeds? But I keep holding on and on and on and Will you chew until it bleeds? on Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Do you want to change it? Will you stay down on your knees? [8X] What if this whole crusade's A charade And behind it all there's a price to be paid For the blood On which we dine Justified in the name of the holy and the divine Nine Inch Nails Named one of the “Most Influential People in America” by Time Magazine and “The Most Vital Artist in Music Today,” Trent Reznor has turned music on its ear. Using electronic music to fully explore the genre of Industrial music as the “group” Nine Inch Nails, Reznor has had one hit after another. The group’s debut album Pretty Hate Machine tore up the charts and cemented Reznor as one of the most important new musicians of the twentieth century. Reznor has performed and recorded with a number of artists over the years including David Bowie (look for “I’m Afraid of Americans”). Most recently, Nine Inch Nails created a bit of controversy for pulling out of the MTV Music Awards due to a dispute over their song “The Hand that Feeds.” Reznor wanted to perform the song in front of a large picture of George W. Bush but MTV had some reservations. NIN decided to pull out of the performance rather than reach a compromise with MTV. Directions: on a sheet of paper, compare this lyrical poem to Animal Farm. 1. How is this poem related to the novel? 2. Choose a line from the poem that might describe an animal in the novel. Explain your choice. 3. What does it mean to “bite the hand that feeds?” Explain the literal and figurative meaning behind the saying. .

  • “Praying Angrily”
    “Praying Angrily” Psalm 69 Erica Cooper Assistant Minister August 4, 2019 The Ninth Sunday of Pentecost In 1993 I attended my very first rock concert. Or concerts, I should say. In the early 90’s Lollapalooza was a budding 4-day outdoor music festival touring the U.S. with top billing bands like Sonic Youth, the Breeders and Green Day. I was thirteen years old, still in middle school, and really had no business being there, but I had some older high school friends who invited me to go, with their mom chaperoning in the background of course. It was hot and humid that day, as is always the case in Atlanta in July. I had been chugging water all afternoon to stay hydrated, and soon needed to use the bathroom. Between bands, I took my friend Nori with me as we headed out on a thirty-minute journey across the field, weaving a bobbing through 20,000 sweaty, sunburned Gen-Xers. We made it to the bathroom finally, and were delighted that the next band had not yet gone on stage, we didn’t miss out on anything. So we headed back across the field to our area where the rest of our friends were. But, somewhere in the middle of our journey, Nori and I lost one another. I looked around but couldn’t find her, and at this same time, another band started to play, so I stopped where I was to listen. This band was unfamiliar to me, a band called Rage Against the Machine. At first I didn’t notice the group of 20- something shirtless men gathering around me.

  • Nin Ghosts I Remixed
    The story of... ‘‘ What a beautiful day ! ’’ NiN Ghosts I remixed In cauda venenum by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ What a beautiful day ! - NiN Ghosts I remixed Sunday, March 2, Year two thousand and eight : What a beautiful day ! Trent Reznor, the demiurge behind Nine Inch Nails has just boldly freed himself from traditional restraints to free dissemination. Ghosts I-IV, last NIN album to date, has been released without the help of any record company and the first 9 tracks are available in free download on the band's website. NIN releases the whole album and its graphics and covers under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa licence. This means any person who adquired the album, either by purchasing or downloading is by now free to share it, sample or remix it, under the following conditions : attribute the work in the manner specified by the author, and not use it for commercial purpose. This initiative obviously runs counter to digital locking systems set up by the recording industry, and counter to its hollow fight against "piracy". By choosing the free licences, Reznor prooves that the music may be shared freely, and that "free" music is not necessarily "cheap" music, which would be of lesser quality than "commercial" music. Doing this, Reznor prooves also that free dissemination is by no way uncompatible with some kind of trade, as the Ghosts I-IV album was actually sold, in lossless digital format as well as in limited edition cds. Nine Inch Nails affords the luxury to conciliate profitability and sharing. Let's hope the idea makes many followers.

  • Mandy Kane Issue 32
    Mandy Kane He scored a major label record deal on the basis of a demo recorded on a four-track; went to LA to produce his album; toured with Marilyn Manson; has enjoyed major airplay on the commercial networks; and he still lives at home… Christopher Holder tracks Mandy Kane down to his bedroom studio in the ‘burbs. hen I told Mandy Kane that his life should have been written into the plot of an ‘80s teen movie, he gave me a knowing look, as much to say ‘uh huh’. If you don’t know your Breakfast Club from Wyour Pretty in Pink then let me fill you in: Cool high school kids rule roost (ring leader always a particularly malignant James Spader); weirdo outsider breezes into town (cue a downy-faced Christian Slater); Misun- derstood freakoid cops crap from all quarters (not least from a gurning Molly Ringwold); subversive, anonymous stunts soon ensue that rally school nerds and D&D dweebs; Weirdo reluctantly owns up to being responsible for jock-jacking pranks; The Freak gets Molly Ringwold while James Spader gets his convertible towed away in a, like, so-o-o humiliating way. Mandy Kane is a self-confessed Christian Slater character, and boy is he the ‘freak turned hero’. Forget about Molly Ringwold, how about having Sophie Monk pop into your bedroom studio to lay down some vocals? That’s not the half of it: in the last 12 months he’s been jamming with Beck’s band, working with big-time LA producers, chilling with Marilyn Manson, collaborating with Nine Inch Nail’s beatmeister… I mean, the guy is only 21, he still lives with his folks in the ‘Mission Brown’ suburban wasteland that so informs his music, yet he can turn on his radio and hear his own songs beaming down at him from Melbourne’s Mt Dandenong.
