Trent Reznor(Nine Inch Nails) on the future of the music industry

http://www.wired.com/ente...arg_reznor

This is quite a long and interesting read. Trent talks extensively about his ARG surrounding his last CD, Year Zero, and also extensively about the future of the music business, what other artists and labels are doing now(Radiohead In Rainbows), what he believes the advantages and shortcomings are and where things are headed. He discusses various formats and ways to release music.

Keep in mind, Trent is an incredible visionary and artist that has consistently been on the cutting edge of music and technology since he was first signed in 1989. He also earlier this year produced Saul Williams new CD which they released for free, or a small donation on the internet.

He has been signed to interscope since 1992 and his contract was just up, he decided not to resign but rather release his new music himself someway.

It's superlong, but a really great insightful read.

Mmkay, at some point I'll dig into this cause Trent's a go to guy as far as music although I can only take so much of him.

I love the fact that he's not everywhere or trying to jump on the new wave of fake rock tools like some people.
