I would not have guessed the guy behind The Downwards Spiral would one day be writing the soundtrack for a Disney animated feature.

This is what getting clean from from heroin does to someone who got famous for writing angry, dark music.

He is still writing dark music for NIN, not much changed in that regard.

My friends and I always said that Pretty Hate Machine is what happens when a girl really fucks up a guy.

At the same time, the guy that did Mad Max also did Happy Feet, so sometimes you just like a little grit, and sometimes you just like a little fluff. (and paychecks!!)

Dunno, NIN (which I love, btw) was always the Disney version of Midwest Industrial which itself was the Disney version of Throbbing Gristle and friends, so, you know, it’a not entirely unexpected ;-)

Friend of mine called PHM “Michael Jackson with dirty words” which isn’t an unfair characterization by any means.
