• 9 Albums With More Than One Cover Design: Kanye West, Radiohead, And More

    Whether we like it or not, an album cover greatly influences the way we hear the music held inside of it (it's why the guitars on My Bloody Valentine's Loveless sound "pink" to me). However, there are some artists who have release albums with more than one cover design, either due to arguments with their label, legal troubles, or simply their own artistic vision. Here are nine albums with more than one cover design.

  • 6 Babies Stop Crying When Their Favorite Music Comes On: Beyoncé, Pharrell, Nine Inch Nails, Florence And The Machine, And More [WATCH]

    Let's face it. Babies can be pretty darn cute, and if you're a music lover, nothing warms your heart like a baby having taste in music you like. Thanks to the Internet, videos have been surfacing in recent months of babies being comforted by their favorite artists. If my (theoretical) baby liked the same music as me, I'd be pretty thrilled and want to share it with the world, too. After we found the video of a baby raving to Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," we thought we'd give our readers a big dose of cute and gather up the best videos of babies getting down to their favorite artist.

  • Nine Inch Nails/Soundgarden Name New Openers: Oneohtrix Point Never, Dillinger Escape Plan and Cold Cave

    Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden found themselves without an opening act for their double-headline billing after Death Grips, the experimental hip-hop act originally slated to perform, randomly broke up a few weeks back. Trent Reznor, probably the organizing force behind this whole endeavor lamented believing that the group could keep it together for a whole tour, but has acted quickly to supply it with a series of new acts, each handling roughly a third of the dates.

  • Let Trent Reznor Rock Your Baby to Sleep: 6 Soothing Industrial Lullabies from Nine Inch Nails, How To Destroy Angels and More [LISTEN]

    A remarkable video posted in June has started gathering attention, displaying a wailing toddler being mollified by a recording of Nine Inch Nails' single "Copy of A." Coincidence can't be claimed: The tot makes a face of pleasant surprise when the opening synthesizer lines come on and she begins to groove with the song, even as Trent Reznor begins to vocalize his lament to conformity. So of course we got to thinking—Trent Reznor specializes in music full of jarring electronic feedback, bad language and general misanthropy: Who better to calm down upset infants?

  • Concert Review: Hologram City in Hackensack, NJ, 6/14/14

    Continuing the long line of New Jersey basement venues with awesome names is Hologram City in Hackensack. Though most basement shows I've been to take place in the middle of quiet residential neighborhoods, complete with disgruntled neighbors who love calling the cops, Hologram City sits right at the corner of a busy intersection and even has its own (small) parking lot, which makes it a great location for a venue. The show I attended there last night was titled "Basement Maneuvers - An Electronic Evening," and as that name suggests, it was an evening of performances by electronic artists. Though I've been to plenty of shows featuring electronic artists, and have even played with some myself, I'd never been to an entirely electronic show before, so the atmosphere and flow of the evening was very new to me.

  • 6 Albums Recorded In Bizarre Places: Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, And More

    Most albums heard by the general public are recorded in professional studios, or even occasionally in the artists' own home. However, some well-known albums are recorded in places so unusual or creepy that it becomes part of the album's appeal. Here are six albums that were recorded in bizarre places.

  • Trent Reznor concerned with the current state of rock music

    Nine Inch Nails is set to play a string of UK dates later this month. In anticipation, frontman Trent Reznor spoke with the Daily Record (via Consequence of Sound) about the current state of rock and his concern that acts are too preoccupied with their popularity instead of focusing on being innovative and expressive.
