Further Down The Spiral (1995)

[robsheridan]

Nine Inch Nails The Fragile released 25 years ago today. Here’s a 1999 digital camera photodump from the months surrounding the album’s release; a surreal, transformative time in my young life. Words can’t describe what it was like, but these photos and textures bring back the strangest hazy memories that feel like a dream: Not even a year out of high school, moving to New Orleans to work for my heroes as they were in the final year of recording a dense, challenging masterpiece of an album. Not everyone was ready for The Fragile at the time, but it now stands as one of the seminal works of pre-millennium art. If you’ve never experienced it, or haven’t in a while, it deserves a focused, solitary beginning-to-end listening in the highest fidelity, on your best sound system, at the loudest volume.

What if... What if someone sat on my thighs and trapped my hips with their legs and pinned my hands with their knees so I can't really move or fight them (😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫) and then they tickled me for um . no reason?

Analog Motion: abstract 35mm film photography of Danny Lohner (with a hint of Charlie Clouser), taken at an unknown date on Nine Inch Nails' 2000 Fragility tour.

Another scan + details from some old photos I once considered "throwaways" that I'm discovering again in a new light, appreciating them as a different type of analog art. See my first post about this for more and I elaborated further on my Patreon. And again, save your old "mistakes" - you might see them differently some day.
