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 don’t remember what I was thinking about at the time, but it was pretty much about yelling at a beast without putting a face to it In 2020, Kerrang and Billboard ranked the song number eight and number two, respectively, on their lists of the greatest Nine Inch Nails songs.

I didn’t gain any new insights or discover nuances I’d missed the first time. The play/film was re-adapted a decade later as the Broadway musical Golden Rainbow, a theatrical vehicle for Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

Ace marksman Jay Benson lives a retired life from the army with his beloved wife Lucy, and starts a school for training in firearm shooting. Unfortunately they fall short of money, when Augusto Savanto walks into their lives, promising Jay a huge sum of money in return for teaching his son Timoteo, who is totally uninterested in shooting. He wants his son to be able to shoot like an expert in just nine days. Benson agrees but soon realizes that he has entered a circle of revenge and murders involving mafias, in which he must participate, else it could affect both Lucy and him. First, let me make it clear that I didn't buy this book. I won it. Actually, I won a video of "Tarzan" (I'm not talking about the cute Disney version) and then chose to swap it against the book, thinking that a book, any book, suerly must be better than "Tarzan".

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.

There’s a trip to Vegas. There are bad guys, and one of them is a dwarf! And the whole mystery, the main conflict of the plot involves a book!Ryan, Kyle (August 27, 2015).

I wrote it at the last minute as a throwaway,”he said in 2005. “The rest of Pretty Hate Machinewas already written, and we’d revised everything else about nine times. Up until then songwriting had been a meticulous and agonising process, but this took me 15 minutes in my bedroom.”
