Trent Reznor takes part in a fascinating interview, conducted by an able interviewer with questions that were determined by popularity (of course - it's Digg). It's very nice to see an able, professional musician weigh in on interesting questions that largely are about the business and how it's run. After all, I could use advice regarding questions like: "What advice do you have for up and coming bands who chose the internet for distribution over traditional channels?"

It's also nice that the Web allows the interviewer and interviewee stretch a little; there's no time limit really with these sorts of things, unlike on TV or other media that have very specific time restraints. It is a 40-minute interview, but every second is used well because Trent is very good at taking a question with multiple layers and contexts, sorting them out in his head, and explaining his answer thoroughly. I really wish more interviews were formatted like this.
