   soo fucking amazing, really cool.

   This mashup is spreading like wildfire. I’m a huge fan of mashups, and I had three friends contact me about this one yesterday.

   I think you did a great job on this. Trent hasn’t sounded like this since his Option 30 days.

10. nathanchase April 29th, 2005 at 4:39 am 10

    yeah seems to be getting some pretty big exposure - It’s been downloaded from me 4445 times according to my web stats. Have had two servers nearly exceed bandwidth. definitely spread it around as much as you can!
    glad you enjoy it. hopefully Trent hears it at some point.

11. Mark April 29th, 2005 at 1:29 pm 11

    Amazingly well-done! I love it!

12. anonymous April 29th, 2005 at 1:33 pm 12

    Wow, nice job on the remix, its really damn good!

13. Chris April 29th, 2005 at 3:08 pm 13

    That makes my day, it really does. That one’s going onto my player RIGHT NOW!

    Also, your fame is spreading.

    Genius, Mr. Nathan.

    Say — I’m a musician who can pretty much pick up exactly what the chords are to a song, even if I’ve heard for the first time. So I’m able to match up songs that sound alike very easily. My qwestion to you is, what programs do you use to make a mesh-up? How do separate the vocal track from “Hand that Feeds” and match the tempos up from other songs? A short tutorial would be of great benefit to me. I’d appreciate it man. Good job,

40. nathanchase May 1st, 2005 at 9:23 am 40

    The individual tracks from “The Hand That Feeds” are available in the GarageBand file at nin.com - or there’s a torrent of the audio tracks on the echoingthesound.org forum - I used Acid to do the mix. As far as how its done - trial and error, beatmapping, pitch correction… Just takes a good ear really. Good luck

41. rynne May 1st, 2005 at 2:13 pm 41

    This mash-up is incredibly great. Well played, Nathan, well played.

43. Anonymous May 1st, 2005 at 3:39 pm 43

    This mash-up is funny and awesome at the same time! Everytime I listen to it, I can’t help but visualize the Ghostbusters video and THTF video simultaneously!

44. Trent May 1st, 2005 at 6:19 pm 44

    Best. NIN. Remix. Ever.

    (by a fan, at least)

    Second half fantastic. First half a bit too thick/full without much space anywhere… too many layers. Love the second half though once you thinned things out a bit more.

47. Widgett May 2nd, 2005 at 12:18 am 47

    Nicely done. Traumatic, but nice.

48. steve May 2nd, 2005 at 4:21 am 48

    2nd gade? Apparently most recent then you would have us believe.

    I’ve already told you I loved this track, but have you submitted it here yet?

    It seems to be the place for compiling all the mashups/remixes/fuckups.

    Thanks again!

57. nathanchase May 4th, 2005 at 8:58 am 57

    yeah man - was the first place I submitted - I’m #145 and #179.

    They are not including mashups in the contest though so I can’t win
    anything for my tracks.

    See http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=9951

58. desperatehours May 4th, 2005 at 3:35 pm 58

    Let me point you all over to http://www.gybo-v3.co.uk/. They’re a mashup/bootleg/bastard-pop forum currently running a Nine Inch Nails “challenge”. Among the better THTF mashups…

    THTF + Benny Bennassi’s “Time” = The Time That Feeds

    THTF + The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” = “Papa Was in NIN”

    THTF + the Love Theme from _Flashdance_

    …along with other mashups and bootleg remixes. The Ray Parker one was good, and I don’t like Ghostbusters boots; the Temptations one is sheer genius.

    Just hit the radio here in Columbia, SC @ WARQ 93.5. Sounded like the DJ was taking credit for it and is going to post it on his site at http://www.mydisorder.com.

    Nice work man. These mashups are all too often an aural disaster, that was a cool idea.

64. mw May 6th, 2005 at 3:18 pm 64

    That’s great! THTF is cheezy by itself…adding Ghostbusters just bumps it up to pure cheezy goodness!

65. P-r0t May 6th, 2005 at 4:26 pm 65

    I dunno people, i’ve never heard such a poor excuse for an amatuer mix in my life… just because its beat matched doesn’t mean it sounds good…

66. stantz04 May 8th, 2005 at 8:26 pm 66

    Great mix man! Definatly in my top ten of songs i listen to all the time!!

    Also while i’m here, i was wondering if i could ask your permision to use your mix for a fan fic trailer that i’m putting together. You’d be given credit for the mix at the end of the trailer. I’d also definatly send you a copy of it in some fashion (via e-mail or other).

    I’d thought i’d ask before i use it since you are really talented at what you do.

    Thanks again for the mix, can’t wait to hear more!
