And yet…Upon rereading this book, I realized I didn’t need to reread it. Everything I was going to get out of it, I got the first time. I didn’t gain any new insights or discover nuances I’d missed the first time. Initially, he didn’t think these aggressive electronic songs he was writing would ever be played live. That changed when he got a chance to open up for industrial linchpins Skinny Puppy on their US tour, assembling a band specifically for the shows. By that point, he’d already amassed several of the songs that would appear on NIN’s debut album, Pretty Hate Machine, although Head Like A Holewasn’t among them. I like that the supporting characters seem to have real personalities and lives of their own, even though the reader might not learn much about those lives and personalities. None of the characters seemed flat, although this book is definitely plot driven. Head Like a Hole" was re-issued as a single in Australia in 1995, where it peaked at #57 on the ARIA singles chart and spent 7 weeks in the top 100. [10] Kuchma, Leonid) (2007). «После Майдана.

Whenever I worked at the bookstore, I worked alone. The owner was either out trying to buy books or visiting his friends in San Francisco. He went to San Francisco a lot, which meant I worked a lot. That was fine with me. I liked the store better than my apartment. It was quiet. I could sit and read for hours at a time.”

The song was used in the television advertising campaign for the action video game Gears of War 5.

I wonder why Jen Banbury never published another novel; I know she turned to journalism, but I hope she does eventually revisit fiction writing. Her style of writing, her character development, it's all cohesive and thorough without being overwhelming. The twists and turns in the story are fantastic and realistic all at once, and the ending is unexpected and yet appropriate. That urgency fed into the song, with a whirring electronic pulse giving a sense of relentless forward motion, only interrupted by an explosive chorus. As with all the other songs that would end up on Pretty Hate Machine, Trent played everything on Head Like AHole. Just like his idol Prince, he was reluctant to let anyone else possibly dilute his vision. This is a book about a book, to put simply, but to be more in depth, it's a book about detachment, about holding onto intangible things while others put so much value on material things.

Mario also sets him up with Eloise Rogers, a widow and an acquaintance of Sophie, who is considered a more appropriate companion for Tony than his current girlfriend, Shirl. Jill would have fit in fine with the neurotic staff, but might not have done well with me directing her to run a cash register, answer the phones, or fetch a book for a customer. The thing about bookstores is I’ve never worked in one that wasn’t understaffed. Every shift I worked, I was short at least one pair of hands.

There really isn’t room for collaboration when you’re trying to express very personal feelings and internal angst,” he told Propagandamagazine in 1990. “Collaboration leads to compromise, which can only water down the impact. What would a Van Gogh be worth, artistically, if he had other artists dabbing their paint brushes on his canvas?” The old childhood pal, Jerry Marks, now a wealthy promoter, invites Tony to a party. Pretending to be prosperous, Tony explains his scheme to buy land in Florida and open a second Disneyland there. Jerry seems interested in being his partner again.
