Ghosts

The New York Times has a story about the surprise release. Here is footage of a young Reznor, no more than two years before the debut of Pretty Hate Machine, playing second fiddle (actually keyboard) in a band called Slam Bamboo. The 1987 hair is astonishing. For some reason I have it in my head that bad hair was mostly confined to the early eighties, but the bad hair stayed around well into the nineties.
