Now I'm Down In It.

Basegrinder, Rasterbate & I shot Model Mayhem's Christina today at what I'm sure is the jankiest, decayed, abandoned building in the Bay Area.

 

Couldn't believe Christina crawled through that window with us, but I'm really glad she did.

 

This entire ginormous place is a Nine Inch Nails video, come to vibrant, decaying life death.

 

The entire time we were in there, the needle on the record in my head kept screeching back to these lyrics:

 

I used to be so big and strong.

I used to know my right from wrong.

I used to never be afraid.

I used to be somebody.

 

I used to have something inside.

Now just this hole it's open wide.

I used to want it all.

I used to be somebody.

 

I'll cross my heart and hope to die.

But the needle's already in my eye.

And all the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why.

And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory.

I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

 

-- Trent Reznor, "Pretty Hate Machine" 1989
