TRENT REZNOR SUFFERS so you don't have to. Alienation and self-loathing have been constant themes since the main man of misanthropy first crossed angry industrial music into the mainstream with Nine Inch Nails' '89 debut ``Pretty Hate Machine.'' His tortured outlook hasn't changed much with this year's spiny opus ``The Downward Spiral.'' We love him anyway: The disc debuted at No. 2. Vent with Trent tonight at Hampton Coliseum. You'll feel better.
Nine Inch Nails, Jim Rose Circus and Marilyn Manson. 7:30 tonight at Hampton Coliseum. Tickets: $22.50; order at 671-8100. More info: 627-1440.

IF YOU THINK Norfolk and Portsmouth are aglow with the holiday spirit now, wait until Saturday's Lighted Boat Parade. At 6 p.m., nearly 70 vessels of all sizes, done up for the occasion, make their way down the Elizabeth River. Fireworks choreographed to seasonal music begin at 7:15. And while you're there, show up for the Dockside Party outside Waterside from 7:30 to 9. After that, it moves inside the marketplace. Free. 623-1757.

WATCH CLOSELY when ``The American Revolution'' unfolds Sunday at 8 on cable's Arts & Entertainment channel. When the gentlemen and ladies retire for an evening of minuets and reels, they're supposed to be in 1775 Philadelphia, but the portraits of George III and Charlotte are a giveaway: The footage was shot recently at the Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg with local dancers. ``We don't usually function as a generic Colonial set, but we're accommodating (A&E) because of the merit of the project,'' said Colonial Williamsburg's Jim Bradley. And it's a meritorious project, indeed, covering in three nights the eight years that shaped our history. ``It's always difficult to find novel, compelling ways of telling history,'' said Michael Katz of A&E. ``Whenever you're dealing with a period of time before photographs - before the Civil War - there's the question of how visually compelling it will be for the audience. The use of tasteful re-enactment is something we're quite excited about.'' The series continues Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m.
