THIS is how you do electronic music

NIN: Echoplex - Live at Rehearsals, July 2008 from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

You know, some things I've outgrown, and some things that I used to worship now seem downright dorky, but somehow NIN keeps bringing it. Simple but engaging melodies, tight beats, razor-sharp guitars and more sweet, sweet kit than you can wave your AMEX at.

Back in the 90s I was in a band that aspired to this; we used actual PCs running DOS onstage early on (the laptop came later), with big piles of Emulator II keyboards, and crunchy guitars, and big clunky headphones for the drummer. This video shows the 2008 style, with Lemur controllers and in-ears and the whole shebangabang. Big ups to CDM for this.
