To the surprise of absolutely no one, I'm a fan of the band Nine Inch Nails. How devoted a fan am I? Devoted enough to name a hereditary degenerative neurological disorder after the lead singer.
For reals.
In the Star Trek: TNG episode, "Bloodlines", I gave Patrick Stewart a possible son, then messed the poor kid up with Forrester-Trent syndrome. The Forrester part of the name is a tip of the hat to the late Larry Forrester, who wrote the episode that "Bloodlines" served as a sequel to, and the Trent part is a shoutout to NIИ frontman Trent Reznor.
So... NIИ fan? Check. Astronomy buff? Check. If you're either or both of these things, you really ought to see this NASA Mars mission animation that's been set to a Nine Inch Nails song. It's powerful, and you might be surprised at how well the music and images serve each other.

I'm a big NIN fan. Their album FRAGILE is one of my all time albuns ever. Great sound production.
altough it's a shame they never played in Portugal, moving on...
the clip it's really well done, specially in some parts where it combine with the highpicks of the music.

BTW, Idlewild showed up yesterday! I'll probably get some time during a vacation trip next week to read it. :)

Ângelo: The Fragile is a great album, though I think my favorite might be The Downward Spiral. And wow, there's some *insane* dancing in that video--I love it!
Gail: That's a fun video--I'm really enjoying the combination of space exploration and rock. You'd think there would be more of it. (Outside of planetarium laser shows, I mean...) Great news about Idlewild, and thanks for turning me on to Pandora. Looks fun, and I've been searching for this sort of thing. I'll have to play with it, and compare it to Last.fm.

on a The Downward Spiral VS The Fragile, with would be difficult for one to win. But Fragile, to me, says a lot more. But yeah Downward's also a great album.
Those Korean Girls are crazy
ahahah
