Trent Reznor interviewed on Year Zero, Radiohead and more

Wired.com has a really great (and reeeally long) interview up with Trent Reznor, lead and mastermind of the band, Nine Inch Nails. He talks at length about the surrounding story for the Year Zero album and how he went about, not only getting the story out to the fans, but getting them involved in it as well. Where each song on the album was just a snapshot of the times set fifteen years into the future, there was a surrounding story that needed to get to fans in a more modern way that didn’t involve marketing and squeezing profits from it. Reznor also talks on Radiohead’s recent ‘pay what you want’ offering for their album and how it went wrong.

There is audio for the interview, but its only 70 minutes long and will cut off toward the end due to the extreme length (about 90 minutes) of the talk.
