Nailed

Tron: Ares might be out of theaters (lack of interest) but you can still learn about the history of the music in the TRON movies over at the Nailed Patreon.

The full 90+ minute version of this episode is over there PLUS our Tron movie watch-along miniseries!

100th upload to the podcast feed! Yaaaaaayyyy!

Peel It Back ends tomorrow. We've heard listeners talk about their experiences at the tour. Now it's time for our story. During this hiatus we wanted to give you a little something to prove we're still alive (as you need us to be) and we love you. We talk about what we've missed and tell the tale of Xcel Energy Center and the miraculous seat upgrades! Thanks to everyone we got to hang out with. The show was awesome, so I hope we did it justice.

Note: No Tron album discussion in this episode, as it's still 4 hours away from being released here in our neck of the woods. Patience!

Now back to Year Zero...

Let's face it--you don't wanna just hear us talk. Sometimes we need to inject some outside enthusiasm. Plus we can't even see the concert yet! So we enlisted more correspondents who saw Peel It Back live in Europe, and sent us their voice memos and letters. Thanks all!

Apologies: Blake doesn't understand the difference between arenas and stadiums, and he mispronounces the German city of Cologne.

PLUS a mini-Nailbag about Year Zero stuff! Wild fan theories abound, so strap in.

Back to YZ song episodes next time!

HUH, HUH! Another track makes Blake's coveted Top Three™! Greed? God? ...George? These are the many faces of Capital G. Plus there's a killer horn section. Definitely about as poppy as NIN gets without being Purest Feeling. You push da button and play this podcast?

For the second time in our podcast career, NIN have gone on tour (no albums have been released during our podcast btw).

Having just gotten home from the Peel it Back tour opening date MINUTES earlier, our friend and listener Viv gives us the scoop on the show, acting as Nailed's field correspondent. Thanks so much Viv!

...and you know we're gonna do a F ASHION W ATCH!

The best comma title since No, You Don't!

Is MIN NIN's ~sexiest~ song? Find out within.

PLUS a discussion of the F UTURE R UINS Festival!

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY WITH TEETH! How the hell can that be real? I was just listening to the leaked album on Myspace like yesterday. Time comes for us all. Please listeners, don't waste your precious youth.

In celebration, we've decided to give the general public something from the bonus feed a few years back. Maybe that kinda makes up for the LONG gap between Year Zero episodes? Sorry about that. They're coming. Sooner than GTA6, I promise.

But why did Trent sing it that way?? In this UNLOCKED episode, we attempt to crack the code of the SHADOW VOWEL.

We also explore Reznor's overall musical influences in the With Teeth era--but we get especially deep into that certain affected style of singing. Contains lots of cool comparison clips!

This episode was 2 freaking years ago! We were a little younger, a little looser. I definitely refered to Mark E. Smith as "Marky Mark."

Thank you for listening <3

**Recorded a few weeks back. RIP Oskar, we love you forever**

HEY! C'MON!

After some bizarre interference up top, we finally get down to business on possibly the hardest banger on Year Zero: VESSEL. Do you think we can last here?!

FFO: Trent saying hawk p'tuh! Red and blue pills (incels skip this one).

A song about Year Zero's very best soldier. But what's up with that tempo?

Also: YZ murals. TGS comic book story. Pleasantville. Can you make yourself believe something? Trent has an onomatopoeiatic moment.

We're drinking the water--so should you.

[POLITICS ALERT!] [RANT ZONE!] Here we are, once again discussing Year Zero's lead single Survivalism. This time we go over the lyrics with a fine-toothed comb. Jessica gives us a history lesson on the Khmer Rouge and the cultural cleansing campaign that was their Year Zero. April 17th was an important date indeed. Plus some fun mashups.

FFO: exaggerated inhalations, Mother Nature, Slayyyter (please open for NIN!)
