How Trent Reznor is pioneering a new music industry

I’m not a big NIN fan (don’t hate!), but I’ve grown to like them more and more for one reason: Trent Reznor.  His band Nine Inch Nails rose to fame from the grunge/goth movement of the early nineties, and Reznor has been pushing the envelop every step of the way.  Cut to present day, while most artists and record labels try desperately to hold on to their old ways, Reznor is one of the few “big name” artists embracing the digital medium in a positive way, which makes him a major inspiration for Ground To Zero.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should watch Kevin Rose interview the man for an episode of Digg Dialogg.  It runs for about 40 minutes, so settle in with a bottle of wine and get ready to open your mind.
