The NIN Hotline:- People all over the world have been receiving their copies of Halo 27 on CD & DVD, and found that depending on what numbered set you got, you get one of three different sticker packs. Several different efforts have been put forth by the users of Echoing the Sound to track (and trade) different sets. If you haven't ordered your copy already, you should pick it up this week, as most major reta [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- With the private show on July 19th being over and done with, now's as good a time as any to re-remind everyone of the tour journal forum over at Echoing the Sound.If you were at the show and haven't posted your thoughts and opinions of what you saw, post them here. If you'd like to talk about the show but weren't there, head here to speculate about what we might see once the tour cranks into gear. [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- Volk wrote in to point out the awesome news that on the Rock Band website, they announced next week's download content: THREE more NIN songs will be available. "Burn", "Capital G", and "Last". A lot of people are going to be blowing their voices out on that last one.

The NIN Hotline:- We hinted a little about how there were things on the Google Earth maps for the NIN Tour - essentially, little black question marks showed up on the map, people went to them and found invitations to a private dress rehearsal that's happening... soon. As of last night, a total of four of these black question marks had showed up over the last few weeks. Well, 21 new markers just showed up. If you [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- The Slip is now available for purchase Down Under - I bought a copy this morning from a large discount retailer, however it will set you back around $AU32. Remember that its limited to 250,000 copies worldwide so if you are wanting a physical copy you should probably think about grabbing one "soon":)

The NIN Hotline:- Grab your tequila and sombrero, brush up on your Mexican and get ready to head south of the border! Two new dates in Mexico have been added to NIN's tour page - 10/18/08 in Mexico City and 10/19/08 in Guadalajara. Both shows are part of the Motrokr Festival. Regular tickets go on sale August 18th while a date hasn't yet been set for the presales. It's unlikely there will be one since these perform [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- After originally being slated for release the month of June, Amazon has thrown up a page for Modwheelmood's Pearls to Pigs, Vol. 3, where you can check out some previews for the latest five songs (clicky here).What's curious is that they've also listed a release date of July 17th for the EP. Normally, new music, DVDs, etc. are released on a Tuesday and the 17th is a Thursday and I know this becaus [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- For those of your who remember the UK NIN Tour archive that sprung up on the interwebs in 2005, and was mistakenly thought to be a part of the ARG in 2007...it's back, with international flavour at www.nintourarchive.com !It is entirely user-content created, and intended to be a portal for our tourside snaps for gigs worldwide past and present. Just add your photos to the Flickr Group here and se [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- Well, turned out the rumor was kinda true. Pearls to Pigs, Vol. 3 is out NOW at iTunes (here) and probably tomorrow at Amazaon (here). Check it out!

The NIN Hotline:- The first photos of the limited edition CD/DVD showed up at the nine inch nails website. In addition, Jason Koning from New Zealand reported getting an email from Amazon that his copy of the Slip digipak shipped yesterday. I had admittedly been too lazy to put in an order myself, figuring I'd just pick it up at a store, but for some reason this prompted me to pre-order, ha.

The NIN Hotline:- That's down from $17.99, and nearly half the original price of $24.98. If you already pre-ordered, you automatically get the lowest price. You might as well toss in the vinyl to qualify for free shipping ;)

The NIN Hotline:- Sorry news has been so slow, but between the band prepping for the tour (btw rumor has it the stage setup is a-fucking-mazing) and my own personal turmoil, that's how it's going right now. I wanted to tell you about the Google Earth treasure hunt and all that, but visit Echoing the Sound for more on that. Anyhow, a few people noticed that you can buy The Slip as a digital download on iTunes. (By [cont...]

The NIN Hotline:- Nine Inch Nails has just released the fourth in a series of live rehearsal videos, this time for the song "Ham 'N Eggs". I'm assuming it's another song from The Slip (I haven't actually gotten around to listening to it yet). Anyway, it's pretty cool. Not sure why they went with YouTube this time, but Trent always knows what he's doing.Check out the video here.

The NIN Hotline:- The first wave of South American shows have been announced over at nin.com - and they're not festivals!
