Snarky, *usually* up-to-date, smart-ass music news. If you are looking for pop princesses or flash-in-the-pan rappers, you have the wrong site my dear.

Trent Reznor has taken issue with what he's sees as a corporate approach to the new Smashing Pumpkins. As many of you know, NIN has released a new album entitled, Year Zero, which has been getting tons of press for the unique way it has been marketed. There have been secret messages, thumb drives randomly strewn about, strange websites - you know, all that wierd shit. This type of conspiracy/concept/storyboard marketing has been done before, maybe not to this magnitude, but it's nothing new. However, I am intrigued by what the sticker on the cd says.
"Bureau of Morality
Consuming or spreading this material may be considered subversive by the United States Bureau of Morality. If you or someone you know has engaged in subversive acts or thoughts, call 1-866-445-6580. BE A PATRIOT- BE AN INFORMER!"
To all of you who have made it through high school english - major I.Q points if you can tell me what this seems to be directly taken from. There really is only one right answer. I'll be uber impressed if you can not only tell me what book it's from, but also what the Bureau of Morality represents in reference to the book.
Link - no, the answer is no where in here

I think I already posted about this but Trent has some serious NIN From Zero propaganda circling - if anyone is keeping up with the secret messages and shit, let me know.
