Wrong. Trendy quirk-lovers bought it, people trying to be cool. Average music fan on the street is NOT checkin for MIA.



I love how you just make up shit and jump to conclusions based on.....absolutely nothing.

I'd actually wager that we're making as much if not more cash than MIA right now, since we just went platinum in countries where MIA has yet to sell or even release a single record.

I could easily post amazing reviews we've garnered, like at Glastonbury 2007 when The Guardian newspaper rated as as one the TOP FIVE acts to see at the festival in the official festival guide. MIA was also in that top five list but decided not to play at the last minute, which I'm sure delighted her fans who went to see her.

Haven't sold any records yet? LMAO. If we hadn't sold any records yet, I'd be pretty surprised that our songs have already been in major Hollywood movies and multi-million selling video games. That doesn't happen to nobodies. Also, we've headlined an MTV Awards show.....something your precious MIA has yet to do.




I'm not the one making personal attacks. Now who's the angry little man?



Thanks for the mental image. I may dislike her music, but that's still kinda hot.



Sure. What would you like to know?




It's true that that happens, but I don't see it's relevance here.





Erm.....I'm not "a DeLon follower". In fact before I saw that video I'd never heard the guy. It's not up to me to judge the guys intentions, but it certainly seems to run deeper than him just trying to sell some records.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because he associates with REAL Sri Lankan artists like Ranidu.




I don't think any of those things you posted. I don't think NIN are THE MOST original and THE MOST cutting edge music ever. In fact, I've NEVER said that, so you are just putting words in my mouth, which is generally what people do when they are full of shit and have no real argument.



Once again, you lamely attempt to paint me as some sort of mindless MTV watcher. I don't watch MTV, and I certainly don't eat at fucking McDonalds. As a vegetarian, I have a little more sense than that. Even if I ate meat I still wouldn't eat there.

So you prefer Ministry to NIN. You've made that pretty clear, and of course you are entitled to your opinion. But don't you fucking dare try and claim that anyone that shares my opinion is some brainless trend-following moron. As a matter of fact, the NIN forums have an intellectual crowd there that could probably best most artists fans when it comes to being free-thinkers.

I'm starting to think you're nothing but a troll. You start a thread about a Saul Williams album PRODUCED by Trent Reznor (the only Saul album to gather any kind of attention, I might add - and I should know - my manager was a head honcho at Columbia when Saul was signed there and promptly shot me down when I expressed that Niggy Tardust might sell a few records because of Trent's involvement - the label did everything to push Saul and nobody gave a fuck. In case you want to question his musical credentials, he's the one responsible for signing Nas, Cypress Hill and The Fugees and he still manages Pras and Leela James, and was the main co-ordinator for the Fugees short-lived reunion a couple of years ago) - and then when people express that they like Trent, you try and shoot them down? Sorry, that screams TROLL.




Actually, Steve Albini is a fan of Trent and he told me that to my face. We had great discussions about lots of bands including NIN. It might be that he enjoys the fact that they have a shared dislike of a certain Miss Courtney Love, but that's beside the point.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree here.
