FROM THE NEWS BLOG:
This week a group of musicians launched Close Gitmo Now, a movement with an eponymous objective. Why is a group of artists as diverse as Rage Against the Machine, REM, Billy Bragg, Roseanne Cash, Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne and Steve Earle getting involved in the debate over Guantanamo? Because of the use of popular music by military interrogators.
From the Guardian (UK):
"Several references to music as an interrogation tool appeared in a US senate report last year. Records were used to "stress" Mohamedou Ould Slahi during questioning in 2003, including repeated plays of a song by hard-rockers Drowning Pool. Other tracks that were reportedly played at high volume near prisoners include David Gray's Babylon, Metallica's Enter Sandman, Don McLean's American Pie, Queen's We Will Rock You, songs by REM, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Bruce Springsteen, and even theme tunes from Sesame Street, Barney the Dinosaur and the Meow Mix commercials."
While the Meow Mix cats have yet to get involved, a wide range of other musicians have. Plenty of artists are plenty pissed about their music being a torture device. Ask Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello:
“Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured – from water boarding, to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts - playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums. Guantanamo may be Dick Cheney’s idea of America, but it’s not mine. The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me – we need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
Vanguard's Adrian Baschuk took a trip down to Gitmo last year and even spent the night. What going on at the most controversial jail in the world? (posted below)FROM THE NEWS BLOG:

According to Pitchfork by way of EW, JJ Abram's buddy, Trent Reznor, is lending his musical talents to an upcoming promo for Fringe. Reznor has revamped the ending track "Zero-Sum," from his 2007 triumph Year Zero.
In it, Reznor huskily whispers catatonic missives, and actually quotes William Bell (Leonard Nimoy), like a recorded voicemail message from the future. The album itself was a concept story of a fascist dystopia rocked by war and strife, and thematically lines up perfectly with where Fringe's narrative is heading.According to Pitchfork by way of EW, JJ Abram's buddy, Trent Reznor, is lending his... more

A group of prominent musicians are joining a campaign to close Guantanamo Bay and demanding the release of records about what music was used during the potential torture of detainees there and at other facilities.
Some of the more famous names in the music industry are formally lending their prestige to an effort being led by retired generals, progressive groups and a former member of Congress to shut GITMO down. The list includes Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Rise Against, Rosanne Cash, Billy Bragg and the Roots, all of whom are joining the broader National Campaign to Close Guantanamo which was launched earlier in the week.
Hoping to cast further light on the potential illegalities that took place at the detention facility, the group is also working to obtain records about why and how music was used (under laws authorized by the Bush administration) to effectively torture suspected terrorists. The musicians have officially endorsed a Freedom of Information Act request for the declassification of all secret government records pertaining to music utilized during interrogations. At least two members of the coalition, Reznor and Morello, have had their music linked to interrogations.
"Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured -- from water boarding, to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts -- playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums," said Morello, in a statement provided by the NCCG. "Guantanamo may be Dick Cheney's idea of America, but it's not mine. The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me -- we need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
The National Security Archives will be officially filing the FOIA request on behalf of the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo (NCCG)

See? These guys got a nice set up. Sure, you may not be able to see Trent rock out through the blinding flashes, but at least the lights are coordinated with the beat so you can fall into a fit of epilepsy at precisely the right time. Pretty spectacular nonetheless.

Twittering Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor opened a campaign last Wednesday to raise money for Eric De La Cruz, a Nevada Medicaid patient in need of a heart transplant. Both Nine Inch Nails and tour mates Jane's Addiction are offering special deals for the remaining shows on their tour to fundraise for De La Cruz's hopeful transplant.
A $300 donation will grant concert attendees access to the pre-show soundcheck and a meet-and-greet with the band, while $1,000 will get you backstage for dinner and relaxing with the band, as well as stage-side viewing for the show, autographs and pictures. For fans without tickets, a $1,200 donation comes with two tickets to the show and VIP treatment backstage. This is NIN's final tour, so fans of the band will want to seize this opportunity.Twittering Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor opened a campaign last Wednesday to... more

Trent Reznor, the musical genius behind Nine Inch Nails, has found a way to not only bring attention to a man in Nevada that desperately needs a heart transplant, he's found a way to make it happen.
Reznor is offering "opportunities" to NIN fans. If they donate specific amounts to help Eric De La Cruz with his transplant, Trent has some very generous "what's in it for me" perks for upcoming shows on the "NIN|JA 2009" (Nine Inch Nails/Janes Addiction) tour.
Of course you can just donate to the cause if you like, and skip the perks. With all the meet and greets, backstage dinners and "handshake / hug sessions" Reznor is giving away with specified donations, he brings help to Eric and much needed awareness on a broken healthcare system. De La Cruz has been repeatedly turned down for a transplant because he is on Nevada Medicaid and there are not any transplant centers in the state of Nevada.

It seemed like a cool and funny idea, and now it’s a wacky reality.”His crazy idea to generate funding/attention for his album by auctioning off, well,... more
