I got my head, but my head is unraveling, can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's travelling

the NIN show last night was incredible. To start off, L.A is clearly agreeing with Trent as he was sporting short hair, huge arms and a tan(!?!). He’s come a long way from the pasty, angry, Orleans-based, goth-rocker with the stringy hair and child-molester ‘stache that I remember from the old days. In all honesty though- I thought he was pretty fucking hot then too.

Oh, me.

Anyway- the setlist was glorious. He opened with pinion and closed with head like a hole. In between, we were graced with the aural pleasures of terrible lie, the wretched (be still my heart), something I can never have, closer, eraser, wish and hurt (among others). During right where it belongs, they made clever use of a sheer scrim to show the usual video of insects, decay and george bush.

DFA 1979 and Queens of the Stone Age both opened to minor fanfare. I enjoy both bands, but the anticipation for my beloved trent to hit the stage overshadowed my interest in their performances exponentially.

So all in all, trent rocked the house. The show contained all of the usual goodies that fans have come to expect: trent threw a multitude of water bottles into the pit (a tradition), inserted the word ‘fuck’ into the song lyrics where appropriate as he is mindful of PFP (proper fuck placement), and lastly, he wore sexy leather pants and jumped around a lot.

What else could a girl ask for?
