Derek:  So, I just read that they’re having a tenth anniversary release of the Nine Inch Nails Downward Spiral album.

Steph:  Oh. Wow. That’s cool. Is the band gettin’ back together?

Derek:  I’m not sure if they’re getting back together. Maybe they’ll do a tour, though. That would be cool.

Steph:  Yeah. Like a CD release tour. That would be really neat.

Derek:  Yeah.

Steph:  Would you go?

Derek:  I’m not sure. Um, I might think about it. It seems like it would be a really, really interesting concert to go to.

Steph:  Are you into them?

Derek:  I used to be. Um, you know, I haven’t listened to them for a while, but, you know, I’m not opposed to it.

Steph:  Right. Definitely. Even to go to a concert just for the nostalgia involved.

Derek:  Yeah. It’s been a lot longer than I thought.

Steph:  Yeah. That’s true. Have you ever seen them live?

Derek:  No. Just on TV.

Steph:  Yeah. That would be totally exciting.

Derek:  Yeah.

Steph:  Cool.
