Reznor vs. Radiohead: Innovation Smackdown

Reznor: Radiohead offering was insincere, industry is inept. “…if you look at what they did, though, it was very much a bait and switch to get you to pay for a MySpace-quality stream as a way to promote a very traditional record sale.”

You can grab Saul Williams’ latest CD “The Inevitable Rise and Fall of Niggy Tardust” from http://niggytardust.com. Trent Reznor’s (NIN) influence can definitely be heard throughout the album (he produced it), but it’s definitely not a NIN thing… Saul Williams is funky, raw… and this album isn’t your typical hip-hop joint.

Check it out, download it for free - as in beer - and if you think it’s worth it go back and drop a few bucks for it. You won’t be disappointed.

“Last time I was here, I was doing a lot of complaining about the ridiculous prices of CDs down here. And that story got picked up and got carried all around the world and now my record label all around the world hates me, because I yelled at them, I called them out for being greedy f***ing a**holes. I didn’t get a chance to check, has the price come down at all? I see a no, a no, a no… Has anyone seen the price come down? Okay, well, you know what that means… STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin’. Because one way or another these motherf***ers will get it through their head that they’re ripping people off and that that’s not right.” - Trent Reznor (via)
