Today In Music News: Trent Reznor Gives Good Presents, Mellencamp And King Get Musical, And What Acts Have "Jumped The Shark?"

• Anyone accusing a publication of being too boring should surely include far more snap and zing to their comment than the age-old "talking to my lawyer" trope. TALK ABOUT BORING!! C'mon tom Hendrckst, TRY HARDER. You're commonplace criticisms are in danger of making NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!

• I'm now talking to my lawyer about suing the Observer on the grounds that you are too boring. I have a good case and any jury of peers would convict.

• The Eagles jumped the shark? Really? We're going to be hearing "Hotel California" or "Lyin' Eyes" every day for the next three decades just like we have for the last three.

• That NIN DVD download was actually created by a group of fans at www.thisoneisonus.com. Trent made raw HD footage and soundboard audio from 3 shows last year available to the public last year and basically said go wild with it. The resulting DVD was edited, directed and produced with, from what I understand, no input from NIN by fans.
