Music » Music News » NINE INCH NAILS: Book About 'Pretty Hate Machine' Due Late Summer
Mar. 25, 2010
D.X. Ferris of Cleveland Scene's music blog C-Notes reports that the on-again-off-again book about NINE INCH NAILS' "Pretty Hate Machine" is now scheduled for release in August or September via Continuum Books.
The book is part of the 33 1/3 series, a collection of volumes about or inspired by classic albums. The author is Youngstown native Daphne Carr, who lives in Brooklyn and edits Da Capo's "Best Music Writing" series.
The Amazon product description says, "This is the story of the depraved, no-future land called the American Midwest in the 1980s, and of a boy who rose from a dismal town (population 2,300) to become one of the biggest selling musicians of the 1990s. A kid from a broken home, and a college drop-out, Trent Reznor wrote the material that would become 'Pretty Hate Machine' while a janitor at a studio where he tinkered after-hours ...
"Carr's book will fill in the background of Trent Reznor's early years in Mercer, Pennsylvania ... This book not only tells the story of the birth of NINE INCH NAILS, but also gives voice to a peculiarly American subculture that — especially since the Columbine shootings — has been widely vilified: mall goths, of whom Trent Reznor is undoubtedly the patron saint."
