As previously reported, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor did indeed score David Fincher‘s The Social Network. Working with The Book of Eli‘s Atticus Ross, we have the first proof of that score as Sony just launched the official site for The Social Network. /Film has gathered the 46 new photos from the site if you want to check them out.

What will be the first studio recording in over two years, NIN has recorded a track for Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. The song will play during the closing credits of the film.
You can listen to the song below:
A mysterious website about a new musical project entitled How To Destroy Angels has appeared, and it has already been linked to Nine Inch Nails man Trent Reznor. No official announcement about who it involves has been made but the woman in the image certainly resembles Reznor’s wife Mariqueen Maandig; former singer of West Indian Girl and as many have pointed out the image is stylistically similar to the artwork of Nine Inch Nails’ last album The Slip.
Update: It is in fact Trent Reznor’s new side project. Trent and his wife will be releasing a six song EP this summer. Stay tuned for more info.
Most interestingly there is a 40 second clip, which is embedded below that certainly sounds Reznor-esque musically. A press release about the project informs us that there will be a six track self-titled EP set to drop this summer. Aside from that there is no other information, so for now speculation about the project continues. You can keep up to date through How To Destroy Angels’ Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and Vimeo, which for now are lifeless (aside from the 40 second clip on Vimeo) but will hopefully yield some interesting information soon enough.

Even after Trent Reznor repeatedly stated that the Nine Inch Nails’ tour this year would be their final some people didn’t believe him, but now there is conclusive proof that Nine Inch Nails as we know them are no more.
All of NIN’s touring equipment will be put up for auction on eBay through the seller ningear over the coming weeks. The first twenty guitars of various makes and models are already online. Click here to check them out.
So if you were wondering what to get that special person in your life for Christmas (or, more likely, yourself), I think the ideal present just fell into your lap. If you can afford it.
During Nine Inch Nails “Wave Goodbye” tour, the band set out to play The Downward Spiral live for the first time front to back at Webster Hally NY. Unfortunately, Live Nation would not let them professionally record the show. Reznor however encouraged fans to bring their own cameras/recording devices – with an “open camera policy”. The fans over at The NIN Hotline & This Is On Us put together various fan recordings of the show. The result is an incredible HD video of the whole show, with many raw angles and great sound.

During the 2008 Lights In The Sky tour we began an open camera policy for stills and video during all NIN shows, inviting fans to capture the events with anything from a cell phone to a hi-def video camera. The results have been overwhelming, filling our own galleries with thousands of images and videos from every show, and inspiring a number of ambitious fansourced video projects within the NIN community. Some of those projects are starting to surface now, and we couldn’t be happier with the way the fans have organized themselves and created some truly impressive work.
On the recent Wave Goodbye tour, we were unable to professionally film the band’s performance of The Downward Spiral at Webster Hall, due to exorbitant fees requested by the LiveNation venue. Our open camera policy, however, remained in tact, and as soon as the show ended fans took matters into their own hands, organizing online to track down everyone who had filmed HD footage of the show. Now, only two months later, the group has released a polished, edited, downloadable DVD of the full Downward Spiral performance from Webster Hall. The entire thing has been recorded, edited, and distributed entirely by fans, and it’s the latest example of the amazing things fans will do when their creativity isn’t limited by outdated, misguided restrictions.
You can watch “The Downward Spiral: Live” in HD on this YouTube playlist. You can download it via torrent as a burnable DVD or an iPod/iPhone-friendly video from this page (click the question mark link on that page if you’re new to downloading with torrents).
We filmed all of the other final Wave Goodbye shows professionally, and you can expect to see that footage surface in some form or another in the future. In the meantime, we appreciate the efforts of The NIN Hotline, This One Is On Us, and everyone else who helped to immortalize the Webster Hall performance.

Trent Reznor recently posted on NIN.com that they will be playing a group of small shows in August to end out NIN. Originally, it was believed that Bonnaroo would be the bands last US performance, but it Reznor explained they wanted to end it with a set of intimate shows.
Getting right to the point, we’re going to play a handful of shows in NYC, Chicago and LA starting August 22nd. They will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises. Upon reflection, the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight – it just didn’t feel right to end NIN that way. An offer to headline V-Fest in Toronto (being announced soon) set the idea in motion to play some FUN shows to end this up with. If we can get it together we’ll film these shows, too.In NYC we’ll be playing Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5. In Chicago, the Aragon Ballroom. In LA we’ll be at The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex. These should be cool, unusual and unique shows and I hope you come out – this is it.So far, The Horrors will be joining us for some shows in NYC, Mew will be with us at other shows in NYC, Chicago and LA, and perhaps more.Details and ticket info will be announced shortly, so check back.Thanks,Trent
We posted this over at my blog, onethirtybpm, when the episode was originally released, but I’ve recently viewed it again. It’s really sparked some new ideas I have for Amazing Wow.
Anyway, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor took a series of questions voted on by readers in a 40-minute video interview by the popular news site Digg. Reznor addressed many topics, including his innovative approach to releasing music, the state of his long-shelved Tapeworm project with Tool singer Maynard James Keenan (don’t get your hopes up), and the prospects for a visual adaptation of his 2007 concept album Year Zero. You can view the whole interview after the jump.
