At the February 19th, 2007 [[Nine Inch Nails |Nine Inch Nails]] concert in Barcelona, Spain, a second plain-looking USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall. This drive had two MP3 files: one called [[2432.mp3]] and the other "Me, I'm Not."
==Trent Reznor on sounding like KMFDM==
A forum user said on [[The Spiral]] and [[ETS]]:
<blockquote>Play Me, Im not.<br>
Then play 03 - You're No Good - KMFDM - Hau Ruck<br>
Exact same bass line ... and sounds the same<br>
Its kmfdm revamped .. nothing new ...<br>
(kind of)<br>
<br>
again ...<br>
ITS STOLEN FROM KMFDM -<br>
but KMFDMs version is better ...<br>
You're no good - Hau Ruck</blockquote>
[[Trent Reznor]] replied on [[The Spiral]]:
<blockquote>You: go fuck yourself. Now. The day I steal something from KMFD-Fucking-M is a sad fucking day indeed. Call up Sasha and have him sue me if you feel that strongly about it, meanwhile let everyone have some goddamned fun without you pissing on the parade.</blockquote>

==Versions==
===Me, I'm Not===
This is the original album version. Highly repetitive, it features a consistent drum loop and manipulated bass riff throughout. On top are layered various synthesizers and samples in addition to Reznor's vocals, which are mostly sung in his lower range, sometimes nearly whispered.
===Me, I'm Not (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 4:56'''''
This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his remix.nin.com account.
===Me, I'm Not: Olof Dreijer===
'''''Running Time: 14:00'''''
This remix is on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' Coming in at over 14 minutes long, it's the longest [[Nine Inch Nails]] remix to be officially released. Very different from the album original, it begins with a simple beat and synth melody, over which a high-pitched droning sound element is added. This sound invokes similarities to the instrumental melody within the original song's chorus. The sound is a lot like a wave, cresting and receding. Soon, a basic percussion beat comes in on top of these sounds. At around 4 minutes in, the higher sound drops out, and finger-snap percussion joins in shortly thereafter. A hi-hat beat joins in and another beat comes in. At around 5:25 the higher sound begins to creep in and whispered vocals ("I'm not used to this") come in and out through this portion of the song. A lower synth melody comes in almost halfway through as the higher part again disappears momentarily. The higher sounds return as vocals appear sporadically in this sequence. Once again, a wave-like pattern is invoked in the sound elements dominating this piece. Past the 9-minute mark, the lyrics "I define myself/By how well I hide" and "What I know right now" are clearly audible through the rest of the sounds. The finale contains several sound elements emerging and fading away in a repeated cycle before fading out altogether.

Never planned on this
You've got something I need
Kind of dangerous
And I'm losing control
I'm not used to this
What you want from me?
I'm not used to this
This thing I've begun
And it's hard to telltell—just Just where Where it's coming from
And it's hard to see
What I'm capable of
And it's hard to believebelieve—just Just, what What I've become
Hey, can we stop Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop (C'mon) Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop (Yeah) Me, I'm not Hey, can Can we stop?
Me, I'm not
I define myself
By how well I hide
I can win this war
By knowing not to fight
If I take it all back
If I knew back then
What I know right now
Hey can we stop Me, I'm not Hey can we stop (C'mon) Me, I'm not Hey, can we stop (Yeah) Me, I'm not Hey, can Can we stop Me, I'm not ?
Me, I'm not
