LIKE IT? LOVE IT? HATE IT?

This week I received an e-mail from Nine Inch Nails asking me to fill out a survey (read below).

Wait a second is this Happiness-In-Slavery-I-Want-To-F*ck-You-Like-An-Animal Nine Inch Nails? Or the Olive Garden?

Once again, I'm torn. I don't know if I like it, love it, or...hate it.

Visit HERE to take the survey.

Message from Trent:

Hello everyone.

I'd like to thank everyone for a very successful year so far in the world of Nine Inch Nails. I'm enjoying my couple of weeks off between legs of our Lights In The Sky tour and got to thinking... "wouldn't it be fun to send out a survey to everyone that's shown interest in NIN?" Well, that's not exactly how it went, but regardless - here it is.

As we've moved from the familiar world of record labels and BS into the unknown world of doing everything yourself, we've realized it would benefit us and our ability to interact with you if we knew more about what you want, what you like, what you look like naked, etc. I know it's a pain in the ass but we'd truly appreciate it if you'd take a minute and help us out.

As an incentive, everyone who completes the survey will be able to download a video of live performance from this most recent tour (and I know what's going through your little minds right now: "I'll just grab this off a torrent site and not have to fill out the survey!!!" and guess what? You will be able to do just that and BEAT THE SYSTEM!!!! NIN=pwn3d!!!)

BUT

What if we were to select some of those that DO complete the survey and provide them with something really cool? I'm not saying we'll ever get around to it, but if we did maybe something like signed stuff, flying someone to a show somewhere in the world, a magic amulet that makes you invisible, a date with Jeordie White (condoms supplied of course), you know - something cool. See, you'd miss that opportunity AND be a cheater.

Do the right thing - help us out. You'll feel better.

Thank you and I've had too much caffeine this morning,

Trent

Umm...yeah...I don't feel so comfortable with this. It's like getting a visit from a Jehova's witness, so imposing you just want to run and hide. Trent, you're the artist, make it rock and we will buy it. Don't make this complicated, focus groups aren't needed. Your fans buy your music because you are not a suit, stop acting like one.
