Love ‘im, Hate ‘im Trent Reznor’s chat with Digg’s Kevin Rose….

is an entertaining glimpse into Trent’s (NIN) world focusing mostly on Music Business/State of the Industry sort of questions with a little fluff thrown in for good measure. He speaks more in depth what NIN has done and is doing currently, and even offers advice on how to go about getting yourself out there today […]
