retro NIN.

okay, seriously, i was the only goth cheerleader at my high school, back when NIN was cool. not sure i fully understand the newest NIN projects, but i can still enjoy the tracks off 'pretty hate machine' (i actually bought the cassette from sunrise records in the mall where i used to work. yeah. cassette. probably still have it too.)

oh, tortured trent reznor. how many breakups did you soothe with this masterpiece? (i know he worked his magic once with this song - an old boyfriend used the lyrics and some carefully planned tears to postpone the inevitable. it was well played, but alas, the relationship still didn't survive.)
