Amusingly, the official music video was shot recently so it's a very, very old version of her lip syncing to her 13 year old voice:I learned just recently that she was 13 when she recorded Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. FFS. She sounds like an old woman singing that.

As they say, nostalgia sells. I paid $80 this year to see an 80s industrial band that I guarantee wasn't selling tickets for half or even a third of that price at their peak.It's a sliding scale, the older the fanbase for the act, the more expensive the tickets (based on ability to pay).
On the upside, I did get to see their opener twice since the original headlining band cancelled mid-show in April and rescheduled their return in November.

I've been having similar thoughts about music, but I assumed it was because I am a 50 year old white man with lame musical taste:
https://www.audacy.com/live105/news/tre ... inch-nailsNine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has since transcended his angsty artistry far beyond his early days as music’s prettiest hate machine, adding GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning film composer to his list of accomplishments since arriving in the early ‘90s. But there’s still that old Trent in there, fans, telling host Rick Rubin on his Tetragrammaton podcast that he feels "the importance of music — or lack of importance of music — in today’s world, from my perspective, is a little defeating."
“In the context of Nine Inch Nails, in terms of an audience and the culture,” Reznor says, “music used to be the thing that, that was what I was doing when I had time. I was listening to music. I wasn’t doing it in the background while I was doing five other things, and I wasn’t treating it kind of as a disposable commodity.” (Disposable Commodity sounds like a great NIИ EP at least, Trent... Cmon!)
He adds, “I kind of miss the attention music got, I miss the critical attention that music got. Not that I am interested in the critic’s opinion, but to send something out in the world and feel like it touched places, might’ve got a negative or positive [review], but somebody heard it, it got validated in its own way culturally. Culturally, that feels askew. Like I can’t think of any review I care about today that I even trust. I could write it before it comes out because it’s already written. In fact, ChatGPT could probably do a better job, you know? Or is currently doing the job. That makes for what I feel is a less fertile environment to put music out into — in the world of Nine Inch Nails.
His passion these days will continue to thrive in his film scores, it seems, as Trent explains, "I think that’s where some of the excitement of composition in film has thrust me into places I wouldn’t be with my band. It’s made me learn and be in awe of what music is, and how powerful it is, and how much there is to know about it, and how much I don’t know about it." Reznor says he's"in awe of seeing these different ways it can affect you emotionally, and techniques and sound and soundscapes and things I don’t think I would’ve come across on the typical trajectory of being in a band."

Howard Johnson is right!

I get what he's saying but I do think it's kind of funny that for years musicians have been all "f-ck the critics" and now he's like "no, but wait, where'd the critics go?"

Had to laugh at Paul playing with the sliders midway through the video.

Faf, if I'm not mistaken Rubin isn't a guy who upon hearing a vocal track knows that what's needed is a 2dB cut at 250; rather he functions more as a serenity stone, a guru type presence. the hander-outer of good vibes. I like his podcasts and the questions he asks. the Todd Rundgren one was excellent. If you're a Todd fan I recommend it highly.My first exposure to RR:

Saw this mentioned the other day, but James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett were 22 years old, with Lars being 21 and Cliff being 23, when they wrote Master of Puppets. Imagine being that young and writing the greatest metal album of all-time. Insanity.

January 17, 1974. Top 10 album for me, maybe Top 5. Maybe Top 3.
