What NIN Song Did Miley Cyrus Cover?

 Miley Cyrus played a musician named Ashley O in an episode of the television series 'Black Mirror'. In that episode, Miley Cyrus plays a cover version of the song Head Like A Hole, a song which was originally written and performed by Nine Inch Nails (NIN).

She sings a version which is unique to her, but which is largely the same song, but she also sings a highly altered version where many of the lyrics are changed, but the song keeps the same rhythm and melody. The song goes from being dark to being very upbeat and positive. The pop music version of the song is titled 'On A Roll'.

I didn't much care for the really poppy, positive cover, but I really liked version that was more similar to the original.

I thought that the effects she used on the vocals in that version sounded a bit like Rob Zombie's vocals.

Here's the video for the cover that sounds like the original:



And here's the video for the pop music version called 'On A Roll':




I wrote another blog post about what I think is the best cover of the NIN song 'Head Like A Hole'. If you heard these versions and liked the song, then I think you'd really enjoy the one I talk about in that article. It is in the style of americana country and folk. It's a really original take on the song, about as original as this pop version.



Did you like either of these cover versions? Have you heard a better version by someone else? Let me know in the comments!

What Is the Purpose of a Blog Post?

When people are new to blogging and they are trying to research what makes a good blog post or how to improve their blog’s performance measures through their content, a certain type of advice comes up almost every time. “Write the BEST content on your article’s topic.” “Make your article better than every other article on the web.” “Make your post the definitive, most detailed resource available.” “If someone finds your article, they shouldn’t need to look for any other information anywhere else because your post will be so complete that they will have learned all they need to learn about the subject.” This is a wildly intimidating goal to set for your content, and unfortunately, while the intention of setting a lofty goal is that you will end up achieving better results for it, what most often happens is that you will develop a fear of failure and that will prevent you from even starting. Which is the worst possible outcome. Even a failure that gets finishe...

The Importance of Entrepreneurship to the Economy and Society

Image
An entrepreneur is a special kind of person.  The entrepreneur is a life/world/reality designer.  The entrepreneur takes what isn’t yet and makes it happen. Someone who is entrepreneurial or chooses the path of entrepreneurship will create the world that others live in.  Where most people must settle for the way things are and must pounce on the job opportunities they see in the world because those are the limit of possibilities for them, the entrepreneur will choose to create opportunities for themselves and others when they do not see the opportunities they wish for. Clearly, I think highly of entrepreneurs. Can Everyone Be An Entrepreneur? I think that there are some people who lack the skills and the mindset to ever be entrepreneurial. They will go through their entire life only taking what other people give to them or allow them the chance to work for. All of their life’s choices are simply what more spirited people have created ...

The Skilled Marketer Paradox: Do Good Marketers Need Jobs?

 Look around the world of work and at job board postings and you will see a ton of positions open for digital marketers. Companies have come to realize how effective and efficient digital media and content marketing can be in generating sales and brand recognition. Now that they see the need for marketing that works for them, they are trying their best to hire marketers to do that work for them . Often in the job postings there will be a requirement for previous experience. Few if any of the open positions will accept applicants with less than 2 years of previous experience doing marketing professionally. Lots of these positions even want 7-9 years experience. And they don't just want experience, they want proven results. They want marketers who can show them how they made an impact on the businesses they have worked for before. They want to see traffic and rankings growth. They want to see sales and conversions growth. But I see this as fundamentally unreasonable and impossible. I...
