Another quick ETS update: I've disabled viewing the site as a guest, and disabled the ability to register for a new account. I'll turn that back on sometime next week, but I'm tired of bots probing the forums. If you need another reason to complain about AI... forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vbclou...

The motherfucking bots are slamming ETS again. There's no way half our traffic comes from Linux users.

I don't need another copy of The Fragile on vinyl, but if you know someone who'd appreciate a copy, now's a good time to grab one from Amazon. They're $28, as low a price as they've been since COVID shut the country down amzn.to/4x49Ovn

I just saw a reel of a young man doing a thing called “What’s on Grandpa’s Turntable” - & he reviewed the album the Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. I’m just going to lay here and turn into dust now.

The original score to Queer, on vinyl, $12.34 (with coupon - list sale price $14.54), shipped. It's a lovely gatefold album, and a nice pressing amzn.to/4eloNew

For the last few years, someone's been selling CDRs of unreleased music by Trent Reznor - for a lot of money. Other people have started manufacturing and selling physical media for leaked audio and digital/vinyl-only official releases, claiming to be filling a gap in the market. It's kinda gross

Teddy from Interscope asked if I could let you folks know that the Interscope Vinyl Collective store is selling unnumbered IVC copies of The Downward Spiral through the 15th. Sure, why not? With 20 minutes with my camera and an editor, I made this video. interscope.com/products/nin...

"texture: flowers 004" in print. A new piece I created in homage to my art for NIN's "Things Falling Apart." I used a black mist filter and toy macro lens adapter on my 50mm f/1.4 to achieve a dreamy lo-fi look in-camera. Only 8 of these left (thank you!) at robsheridan.storenvy.com/collections/...

Friends, how do we make the Nine Inch Noize version of Heresy the song of the summer? Do we call radio stations? Get it played at clubs. (p.s. Get me the 12" extended mix, stat) I want to hear this blasting from open car windows all around America

I am struggling for the correct words to convey to you just how hard the new Nine Inch Nails album goes. It's a remix collaboration with Boys Noize, and it's a dance-oriented blend of 'studio' recording and the live Coachella performance from Saturday. The singing is strong, the music is slammin'

I suppose I should have checked my mail sooner, but plan for an ETS outage tonight. Make alternative plans to posting on a forum: go to a Friday night gig at your nearest small venue. It's only like, twenty bucks, right? Yes, ETS is not "on the cloud"

If X is where you can see the latest posts from a community that is important to you, it is well past time for you to be willing to sacrifice seeing all of that stuff for a little while, and put work into bringing it here (or to a forum, or Discord, whatever). Fandoms will go where people go.

Yeah, if your fandom is still on Twitter, you need to talk to your fandom. There is nothing that website provides that is worth what you’re contributing to by using it AND how it is impacting your thinking in ways you probably don’t even realize (there is research on this now).

ETS was running slow today, so I checked Cloudflare, and here you can see where the bots figured their way around the "Bot Challenge" protection a few hours ago. OH WELL. Human verification for everyone again! I'll revisit tuning this another time. My focus is on improving the mobile experience.

I have a lot to say about circumstances around filming the concert, and the gist of it is that some very loud people are making very wrong assumptions, and targeting the wrong folks with their blame. More on the website, later

As I go back and fix some 25-year-old content on the site, I'm reminded of how precious disk space was for me back then, given that I don't seem to have backed up 2000-era tour images and similar stuff. Maybe it's on a CDR on the shelf. Maybe that CDR doesn't have diskrot.

It has been brought to my attention that the RSS feed stopped working a few months ago! Without getting into the technical details of CDNs, bot protection, and Google's abandonment of Feedburner, suffice it to say that I've updated the site to point to a local feed, instead of a syndicated one.

I've been a little distracted and haven't been posting. Tour's coming up fast - it's a good opportunity to spend time with friends, and to talk with strangers. I've always thought that community is very important - even moreso during times like these. See you in DC?

Are you one of the fortunate few to own the SDCC exclusive? Per the /r/VinylReleases subreddit - don't keep it in the PVC sleeve. P.S. If you own Ghosts I-IV on vinyl, and haven't resleeved it yet, this is your cue to inspect your Ghosts records. www.reddit.com/r/VinylRelea...
