Question not the combined power of a Trent Reznor fan, a computer, and a poll that let's you vote as often as you like. VH1 Classic took a poll from a provided list of the best videos ever for an end of the year special. On that list was "Closer." (Not to mention other great vid's like "Sabotage", "It's Oh So Quiet" and that Fatboy Slim one with a dancing Christopher Walken, oh yeah, "Weapon Of Choice" knew I'd remember it eventually. Atleast one NIN fan site mentioned the poll and tah-dah!!!!, "Closer" came in at number one. It is a seriously cool video, even in it's edited version. The best part was it kicked the asses of many a lame band/artist. Frickin' "Cradle of Love" from Billy Idol was #2...da hell?
I have a request of my friends who have high speed internet and are way smarter than me when it comes to this computer thing. As a Christmas gift, the aforementioned Mr. Reznor has provided a download of his impossible to find Closure release. Originally on VHS, disagreements between Trent and "the man" have kept it from being released on DVD. But now, over at thepiratebay.org you can get a download of it. Or rather, you can get disc one right now. Disc two should be available soon.
One of the few times I actually need a faster ISP (oh the irony, eh Jinn?) and I'm sorta screwed here. If someone could download it and burn it (which is do-able according to the site) and send it to me I would be most appreciative. I would even send you some sort of thank you, at the very least I'd pay you for the DVD's you copied onto. If one of you thinks it is possible, let me know. MERCI BEAUCOUP!
Quick note, the picture is from the concert I saw in Feb. in Champaign-Urbana. Not sure which song this is though.
Also, here's something interesting to check out, especially if you are getting a passport after the new year. More anarchy from Wired. www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.01/start.html?pg=9.
Best of TV list 2 probably tomorrow.
