Another first for Nine Inch Nails, or any band for that matter. They released a new single to radio stations across the country 2 days ago. The incredible part of that is how it had only been mastered less than 24 hours before.

The new single is called Discipline. Never heard on any album before, it's making a little buzz, along with a cryptic comment 2 weeks". The comment in the meta data of the official mp3, says Go to www.nin.com may 5. Most likely that will be that date of the site's newest re-launch. Trent said it was in the works several weeks ago.

The song itself is an example of what I have come to think of as "NIN Pop". Beat heavy tunes, danceable in a way. Frankly I prefer the more experimental rock style of his older stuff. But Discipline is very good in it's own right.

I have not wrote anything for a couple of weeks now. No real reason, Just haven't thought of anything worth writing about. Today I'm writing about unreliable people. I know it's funny after such a long silence here.

Some people seem to be inherently unreliable, while others you can always count on. Now I have no idea where this difference comes from. And frankly I don't care much. I'm simply ranting.

If I tell somebody I'm going to be someplace, I'm there. If I'm going to do something, I do. Under the rare circumstances that something else genuinely unavoidable comes up and gets in the way, I let you know. That is what a reliable person does. My whole family is like that. I'm used to it. So much so that it actually upsets me when others aren’t. It doesn't mater if something is important or not. When an agreement or promise is made, no matter how mundane, it becomes important.

I had a model lined up for a portrait session today. Beautiful girl named Nicolette. She was supposed to call yesterday after work, to schedule the details. I haven't heard anything. Vinnie told me he would be bored all day yesterday, and he would call to do something. Never called.

Neither of these are greatly important. Hell I was busy enough yesterday that I probably wouldn't be able to hang with Vin any way. But the fact that he said he would do something and then didn't just annoys me a little. And Nikki not calling about the photo session, annoys me greatly.

I guess my point is, I hate no call, no shows. If you can't show up, always call.
