Robin Finck Joins Nine Inch Nails Tour Lineup, Trent Reznor Confirms
"It just didn't feel like Nine Inch Nails without Robin Finck," Trent Reznor tweeted this afternoon along with the above image, "Now it does." The news that Finck, a longtime Nine Inch Nails collaborator and member of the band's classic Downward Spiral era lineup, has entered the fold quickly follows this week's news that Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery was dropping out of the band's upcoming 2013-2014 tour.

As pointed out by Pitchforkand others, The New Yorker's new profile of Trent Reznor(catch it in this week's issue) boasts a few juicy announcements. The first: Interscope Records will release a best-of "greatest hits" type Nine Inch Nails collection in 2014 featuring two new songs, with the all-new NIN record Reznor has been promising for a while following soon after.
The other reveal addressed Reznor's until-now secretive project with Beats By Dre ("It's probably not what you're expecting!" he posted on Facebookearlier this fall), which he now confirms is a new music-streaming service tentatively called Daisy, which he hopes will launch next year. As described by Reznor, Daisy "uses mathematics to offer suggestions to the listener... [but also] would present choices based partly on suggestions made by connoisseurs, making it a platform in which the machine and the human would collide more intimately," "like having your own guy when you go into the record store, who knows what you like but can also point you down some paths you wouldn't necessarily have encountered."
If Daisy is going to insist I listen to anything remotely resembling the new How To Destroy Angels EP, then yeah, sorry, I'll pass…
Excited about the prospect of new Nine Inch Nails music and/or annoyed that we'll have to wait at least another year and some change to hear it? Hit up the comments section below.
Johnny Smythe:
There is no need to start another streaming music service. Everything he claims is missing in the usual suspects are already available via YouTube and sites like www.fuhshnizzle.com You can find millions and millions of songs (and videos). fuhshnizzle already has something called shnizztv that serves recommended and related songs to whatever you are listening to and lets you have direct input in what you get to hear.
Also, he will still run into the whole royalty issue that is killing Pandora and Spotify. YouTube already cut a great deal with the music industry and sites utilizing its API get the benefit - artists get paid, copyright infringers can get reported and the sites have a fighting chance to provide great product without need to push upsells.
