As we have mentioned before, the Nine Inch Nails fan community has a long tradition of creating recorded audio and video content for its peers. Recently, one of the most prominent creators of live audio compilations has been Mike Ris, or "notincnstopmenow". He recently took the time to explain his backcatalogue, and why he creates these mixes.

Following on from the exclusive footage found on Another Version of the Truth: Bonus comes 30 minutes of never before seen footage from the Lights in the Sky rehearsals show at the LA Forum.

On July 19th 2008, Nine Inch Nails kicked off their Lights In The Sky with a very intimate performance in front of a small crowd of less than 300 lucky fans.

Security was very tight, as Trent didn't want to spoil the surprise of the great visuals effects, which he knew would be all over YouTube minutes after the first official show. We managed to uncover extremely rare, partial HD footage of this show. We used some of it as backup footage on Vegas, and now we're making it all available to you guys.

Quotes are coming in for cases and inserts, people are asking about it, and a plan has come together.

Upshot of which is that we need YOU to step up now and show us how much YOU are prepared to help out. We need to get commitments to burn around 5,800 DVDs and 200 BluRay discs for this initial run.

Please head over to your profile (you must be logged in!) now to update your preferences under the BD/DVD Distribution Settings. To help encourage productivity, we will buy media for people prepared to really help out.

If you are requesting a set, we have also changed the options available, so please update your request if you want one.

We will send an email with full details of this process at some point over the weekend of 6th/7th February. If you have any unanswered questions regarding this process, please wait until receiving that email before asking .

Don't worry if we don't fulfill your order on this initial run. There will be a more organic fulfillment after this to help get copies to others.

During the making of "Another Version of the Truth", several people from the wider community came forward with features that they wanted to contribute to the effort. Before long, there was enough content to warrant a separate disc, and AVOTT:BONUS was created.

I just did a refresh on our web stats and found that we have 100,001 unique visitors this year! So I thought I'd take a minute to let you know about the demographics.

Just who are these people? Well, they're obviously tech minded. According to Wikipedia, Internet Explorer has 59% of the browser market, with Firefox a distant second at 28%, and Safari at only 4.5%. According to our stats, 38.3% of you use Firefox, 18.6% of you use IE and 14.8% use Safari.

The folks over at Pitchfork TV got in touch with us a couple of months ago about streaming Another Version of the Truth on their site. After checking the ins and outs of doing this with a couple of our peers, we quickly cobbled together all of the edits from Ghosts I-IV and The Slip for a special video that is now available to stream on their website...for one week only!

Thanks to Xvostya, we've got a really nifty KML file that you can download and view in Google Earth that will be updated regularly with new screening dates and information links as they are confirmed world wide. It may also be updated with other information, so I'd keep my eye on it. ;)

Rob Sheridan's posted a great article on nin.com about our release and other fan community projects. I forgot to put up a Digg page at release, but Rob's posted one and it's already front paged, so it looks like we're going to be getting a little more attention now.

Thanks to everyone who's been getting the word out and helping us to distribute and repackage the content as needed. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Here are a few soundbites on the project from the media:
