I’ve had this mashup kicking around various hard drives for a few years now. I never finished it…until now.

While you can read the backstory on this mashup in the Mashup area, I am choosing to use the blog space to rant.

In between the 9-to-5 work, I found the time to craft a video for the mashup. After seeing the success the last mashup video had, I made a video for the new mashup, and uploaded the file to YouTube. Damn thing didn’t even get through processing before I saw the “blocked worldwide” warning. Wow.

Now, I do see the irony here, as I handle the copyright account for one of my clients. But - this is different. When I delete videos for my client, I only delete straight uploads of released content. I do not delete fan-made content, which my mashup video is.

As I am proud of my little video mashup, I’m eating the server cost, and hosting it myself. Screw YouTube!

I hope you all enjoy the mashup. Be sure to download the video as well!

Nine Inch Nails vs Peter Gabriel - Closer To Your Eyes
(both mp3 audio and mp4 video files are available in the link above!)

Final NIN show. Four-plus hours of standing in lines. On the floor. On the rail.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. I witnessed history.

Enjoy a bit of audio from the night (courtesy of the LS-10):
