    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s. During working nights as a handyman and engineer at the Right Track Studio in ClevelandOhioReznor used studio "down-time" to record and develop his own music. The sequencing was done on a Macintosh Plus. With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn.

  • 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.

This is why, as the President of FEW, I encourage other businesswomen in Japan to support this cause and to help find Lindsay's suspected killer. —Julia Maeda President, Foreign Executive Women Twenty-two-year-old Lindsay Ann Hawker was teaching English in Japan when she was brutally murdered at the end of March this year. She was last seen with 28-year-old Tatsuya Ichihashi and her body was discovered on the balcony of his flat in Tokyo. He remains the Japanese police's only suspect and as we go to print, has still not been found. In support of Lindsay’s family and the Japanese police in their hunt for this man, Being A Broad has launched a t-shirt campaign. We hope that enough people—men and women, Japanese and foreign—will wear this t-shirt or one of our bags, so that this man’s face is seen by as many people as possible in Japan, on a daily basis. The Japanese words roughly translate to “Until this man is caught, I won’t sleep at night”, which can be interpreted in many ways: perhaps you are that bit more nervous at night knowing this man has not been caught; perhaps you are a father and worried about your daughter; perhaps you are a husband and worried about your wife; perhaps you want to make a statement against all violent crime against women.

  • Opinion SC07-771
    Supreme Court of Florida ____________ No. SC07-771 ____________ RONALD PALMER HEATH, Appellant, vs. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. [January 29, 2009] PER CURIAM. Appellant Ronald Palmer Heath seeks review of an order which denied him postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. Heath challenged his capital murder conviction for which a sentence of death was imposed. This Court possesses jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(1) of the Florida Constitution. I. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY Guilt and Penalty Phases A jury convicted Ronald Palmer Heath of the first-degree murder of Michael Sheridan, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit uttering a forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, forgery (seven counts), and uttering a forgery (seven counts). See Heath v. State, 648 So. 2d 660, 662-63 (Fla. 1994). For the murder of Sheridan, the jury recommended the death penalty by a vote of ten to two. See id. at 663. Following that recommendation, the trial court sentenced Heath to death for the murder. See id.1 In its opinion affirming the imposition of the death penalty, the Court detailed the facts surrounding the murder: Heath and his younger brother, Kenneth, drove to Gainesville to visit some of Heath’s friends. On May 24, 1989, the brothers went to the Purple Porpoise Lounge in Gainesville where two of Heath’s friends worked as waitresses. Sometime during the evening the brothers struck up a conversation with Sheridan, a traveling salesman who had come to the lounge for drinks and dinner. Sheridan bought the brothers a drink and inquired if they ever got high or had any marijuana.
