Thoughts from Trent Reznor

Good to hear NIN is going the same way as we are. There is a revolution in the music industry & eb's on the front line of it. We're blessed to have the connection we have with the few people who already care about what eb does. I want all to feel a part of what we're doing. I don't wanna ask you all to help spread the word of eb; I want you all to wanna do that bc you wanna share with friends, bring them in so they're part of the eb community. We'll keep putting out righteous songs with the highest quality musicianship & lyrics & will continue to reward you who are already here with the most exclusive material and access to our process. All we ask in return is for you to sign up on everyboy.net. That'll make this community your community too. We'll climb this path together and amaze ourselves with the power of the internet to bring together like-minded souls. Step by step. One foot in front of the other. We'll climb this mountain and say what we have to say all the while. This is a community of warriors...warriors of the Light. eb is one of them. If you are too, or wanna strive to become one, join us on this visionquest. You will never regret it. This is a holy train bound for Glory. We're here to generate Light with each other & to spread that across the universe for the sake of all existence. Please join us today.

"Managers / booking agents / small labels
Any or all of these may be good for you - or not. Here's a truth: nobody knows what to do right now, me included. The music business model is broken right now. That means every single job position in the music industry has to re-educate itself and learn / discover / adapt a new way. Change can be painful and hard and scary. If any of these entities we're discussing are interested in you, ask them about their strategies IN DETAIL. None of them know for sure what to do. Some of them have an idea of how to negotiate these waters. Most of them don't. If you are young and use the internet, you know more about your audience than they do - for sure. This is a revolution and you can be a part of it. The old guard is dying, if you have good ideas - try them.
Bottom line - before getting involved with anyone else, ask yourself what it is they can clearly bring to your table and is it worth their cut. Do they know what they're talking about, and does their strategies match yours?

I have not gotten into the basics which I believe are self-evident: believe in what you do, do the best work you can, work hard, practice, practice more, find your voice, hone in on it, take chances, play live (if applicable), practice more, keep believing in yourself and prepare for the long haul."

Welcome to the blog world eb...

I'm an old-school boy in a digital man's world just getting used to the future where I have access to say what I want when I want.

Bringing me to the point of this first installation: I'm working away trying to finish writing eb's next cd, due out next fall. Ugh! Workin thru themes, and styles, and trying to top my first efforts. It goes well. I am both scared & excited to be on this journey, a good sign no doubt. But, like most hikes worth their weight in salt, I do not know exactly how I will get from here to there. I mean I know I can get there & I know I have gotten there in the past & I also know that the best of what art I have managed to create on this earth has come to me from some blessed place that I was honored enough to be in but it is always a matter of actually getting there. Jordan had to make the shots, Tiger those putts, Dizzy those notes, each and every time. Or at least at lot more often than their contemporaries. And there my sports analogy breaks down, because art is not sport & there are no putts to sink or hoops that swish really. There's only successful expression of an idea, with success being defined first and foremost by its creator. Anyway, that's what's going on. I will try to keep as good a travelog as I can along the way. I hope it will be useful to those who might one day want to tread this path.

Good news my dear friend, grammy-award winner, John Holbrook (http://www.johnholbrook.net/ ) has graciously agreed to continue working with eb on his recordings.

The current east coast ensemble is goin to Art Farm Studios (http://www.artfarmrecording.com/) Oct. 16 to record a few tunes to tide over and reward the faithful in the meantime. I look forward to working with Dave Swanson & Sean Boyd again, & my bandmates Billy Masters, Rich Mercurio, Dan Weiss, and Lee Nadel for the first time in the studio. 

More news soon.

Night all ;)

be well,

eb
