Listening Post reports that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is looking for videos for the new Ghosts I-IV album. They can be posted on the Ghosts YouTube group.
To expand the idea of the "Ghosts" project, we're inviting anyone and everyone to create visuals to accompany the album's music. In a few months, we'll be gathering the entries we feel are particularly exceptional and highlighting them. There are no rules to this - be as creative as you like. Create a music video, or a short film, or something completely abstract. Use only one track from the album, or use multiple tracks. Only one caveat: Incorporating copyrighted materials (clips from movies, music by other artists, etc) into your video might limit our ability to feature it in the future.
To submit your video, join the Ghosts group at http://www.youtube.com/group/ninghosts and add your video to the group. Good luck, and enjoy.
Here's a video from Trent Reznor explaining it.
Radiohead also has a YouTube contest going on. PopWatch notes that they both are pitching YouTubers. It may just be a coincidence as many bands are trying to interact with YouTube users these days.
The Sun is reporting that Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor has written a tv show about the band's latest album (Year Zero) and the group is trying to pitch the idea to tv networks.
It is a concept album about the singer's forecast of the America in 20 years time, and Trevor is currently pitching the idea to TV networks.
He said: "We've got a producer on board and have met with writers.
"We're about to pitch it to the network, so we're a couple of weeks away from meeting all of the main people, and we'll see what happens."
Nine Inch Nails the tv show? Like Trent says, "If it works, it works and if it doesn't, it doesn't." Nine Inch Nails also has an official site on YouTube. There's nothing there about a tv show but here is a video of NIN performing in Stockholm, Sweden.
