Yet another reason with Trent Reznor RULES.

He’s getting into that iPhone ish right quick, cutting deals, peeling money, touching bitches.Trent and the NIN empire is a great example of running it, diminishing industry norms by realizing and harnessing his powers. Homeboy should be admired not only as a prolific musician but also as an entrepreneur and a businessman.

The last two albums were free, rumor has it the “Year Zero”-themed miniseries might get picked up by Showtime, “The Downward Spiral” was just released on 180-gram double-thick vinyl (can’t wait to pick that up), I’m pretty sure they’re selling out every venue they hit and Trent is still 100% by the reigns of the funk-industrial beast, showing off his chops and why “Closer” is permanently hardwired into your brain.

If you want to take control of your domain, I recommend following the Trent model.
