aimstation8
msnstation
msnstation0

Taking a wild stab here myself. Flood (alias for Mark Ellis) co-produced the album "The Downward Spiral" with Trent Reznor. So I sent an email to floodSPLAThotmail.com. No bounce as of yet.

I've also sent the clues to my friend who is a music wiz and knows NIN pretty well.

I'll let you know if anything comes up.
