Happy to be a none-American

From theninhotline.net :

April 14th 2007
One of the newly-discovered websites, Open Source Resistance, advertised a meeting in LA for last night with explicit instructions on clothing to be worn and procedure to be followed. For the fans who showed up, they were surprised with an AIR kit which included buttons, posters, stencils, and in some cases, cell phones.

Secret NIN show in LA raided by police

Remember how last week a bunch of people in LA got AIR kits with cell phones from some dudes in a van somewhere? Well, these lucky fans got calls on their phones telling them to show up at a certain location last night, and what began as an AIR meeting led to a secret Nine Inch Nails performance that was prematurely ended by the local SWAT team. You can watch video of the meeting on Open Source Resistance.

My Violent Heart, Year Zero


The Alternate Reality Game got rough. It is a game no more. And it is no longer about music. The meaning of art consists in targeting the individual i.e. it affects individually i.e. it results in altering a single mind/soul.

When it results in uniting individuals into a community on the ground of an idea it is no longer art.
When that idea is backed by the government that is propaganda.
When it is not – then it is treason.

I have never ever ever EVER thought that NIN and politics would cross paths but now that it is a reality I feel
shocked
amazed
happy
frightened
confused

and very proud to be a NIN fan.
