Ongoing History of New Music

Someone posted this ancient Ongoing History show on Nine Inch Nails on YouTube. Cool!

Wow. I’d forgotten that this show even existed. This was produced when we were still using multi-track magnetic tape and technical producer Rob Johnston had to edit out all my flubs and mistakes with a grease pencil and razor blade. It seems to archaic now.

We must have this show backed up in the archives somewhere–probably on DAT, although it may have been burned to CD-R at some point–but I would have never listened again had I not been tipped off by a fan named Geordy who found it be accident.. Thanks, bro!

No idea who took the trouble to post it. And I’m not going to ask for a takedown notice. Why would I? This is cool! Enjoy!
