Not to beleaguer the point or to get all sentimental but see below for a well done video covering the recent weather events here in Nashville. I assume the backing track is by Explosions in the Sky or Sigur Ros or some shit. It doesn’t really matter, they’re all the same.
Yeah, pretty melodramatic. But you’re not stuck in a flood. Assholes.
Also, I’ve kept my ears open but haven’t heard anything about the Farm washing away or anything. I think ‘Roo is safe.
OK, OK, let’s call a spade a spade. We’ve got three more video teasers from How To Destroy Angels (see below), a sweet viral marketing campaign, and a cryptic website. I was wrong. The Rural Minority regrets the error. I’m an asshole and a sexist to boot. Count me amongst the masses excited to hear the music that this project produces.

I’m also looking forward to the day when Reznor tweets or blogs about the evils of YouTube. That’s the only explanation for his apparent Vimeo fetish, right? He’s sticking it to the capitalists or some shit?
In other news, Nashville has flooded. You may not have heard because national news outlets decided to pick up the story only a few hours ago well after 15 people had died in Tennessee alone. Luckily, this story, having to do with significantly less news-worthy water problems in a major metro area sat atop the NY Times website almost the entire weekend. See below for some of the more sobering pictures of the damage so far (and also a really great tribute song already penned about the incident). Be warned, however, that the Cumberland is still a’risin’. The worst may be ahead of us.
