A review of NIN's 5.18.07 performance at Tokyo's Studio Coast has been added to the "Shows" page and can be read here. Thanks to "geogirl" for sharing her experience.
5.23.07 [6:43]
Another review of "Licker's Last Leg" can be read at soundthesirens.com, the track "Apple Pie" has been added to the Goon Moon myspace page and a new photo of Jeordie has been added to nin.com's current page. Also, the video for "Burn My Shadow", the track on UNKLE's upcoming album on which Jeordie contributes, is available for viewing here. "War Stories" is currently set for a 7.24.07 release in the U.S.
Finally, let's try to get more exposure for "Licker's Last Leg" via some well-deserved radio airplay. If there is a radio station in your area whose playlist isn't solely dictated by what the major labels feed them, give them a call or shoot them an email and ask that they add "Licker's Last Leg". More likely targets would be college and indie stations, but sometimes the more commercially-oriented stations have specific programs where they do showcase indie acts and other music outside the mainstream. Find out what's in your neck of the woods. If you are in Southern California, you can hit up Indie 103.1 or KCRW 89.9.

You can read a new interview with Jeordie in today's Great Falls Tribune, where he compares his time in Manson to where he is now. I've also added a review of one of NIN's recent shows in Melbourne, as written up by "stacey84".

Thanks to Thomas at www.mastersofreality.de for passing along the information.

Just wanted to let everyone know that "Licker's Last Leg" is now available on iTunes. For those of you having trouble finding it in-store, or who don't feel like waiting on shipping from amazon.com, et al., this is another option for you. Also, be sure to check out another great review of the record at this location.
For those who don't already know, NIN have been forced to postpone the May 10th and 11th shows at Luna Park in Sydney. These shows have now been rescheduled for September 15th and 16th, respectively. Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored at the rescheduled ones. For those who are unable to attend, refunds are available at the point of purchase.
The band did, however, play Sydney as scheduled on May 9th and some photos from said show can be found here.

Got a potpourri of stuff to share this morning...
First, Jeordie has added "Feel Like This" to his youtube page and the track "Balloon" has been added to Goon Moon's myspace page. A new review of the record can be found at dreamlogic.net.
Next up, I've heard some reports of the album not being readily available in-store (low on stock or not stocked at all), so I wanted to provide a couple of more links to where it can be purchased on line. Check out circuitcity.com, fye.com, and barnesandnoble.com. It will also be available soon on iTunes. If you are in Germany, it will be available starting May 18th on amazon.de.
Finally, if you haven't been to nin.com in the last 24 hours, a bunch of new dates have been added to NIN's summer Euro tour as follows:

The long wait is finally over! Today marks the worldwide release of "Licker's Last Leg", so head out to your nearest purveyor of music and indulge in all that is Goon Moon. Bring some friends. And if you like what you hear, help spread the love by sharing your thoughts on the album on various music/media pages (iTunes, etc.) across cyberspace. I've also set up a thread on the message board for you to do the same. If you are having trouble finding the record locally, you can also order it online at bestbuy.com and amazon.com.
Regarding UNKLE's "War Stories", the only info I have thus far on Jeordie's contribution is that he plays bass on the track "Burn My Shadow", which also features the Cult's Ian Astbury on vocals. Also, although the U.S. will see a release date of July 24th, the album will drop earlier in the UK, Europe and Australia on July 9th and in Japan on June 20th.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank all of you who participated in the recent Q&A and of course, a big thanks to Jeordie for taking out time to respond during his short break from NIN touring duties.
5.7.07 [8:20]
UNKLE's "War Stories", on which Jeordie is one of several guest artists, will see a July 24th release date in North America. More information on the record can be read in today's edition of billboard.com.
5.6.07 [7:52]
Jeordie has added another video/unreleased Goon Moon track to the youtube page. Go directly to it by clicking here. Two days and counting until the release of "Licker's Last Leg"...
5.3.07 [4:33]
Jeordie has responded to more of your questions over at the Q&A section. The Q&A is currently not taking any new questions, but keep checking back. This may or may not change after Jeordie is done responding to the enormous amount of questions that came in this past week. Keep in mind that NIN is heading back out on tour for a few weeks, and that could affect any decisions regarding the status of the Q&A.
"Built In A Bottle", the final track on "Licker's Last Leg", is the newest addition over at Jeordie's youtube page.
