What should you listen to today?

Nine Inch Nails - The Slip

Trent Reznor is as prolific an artist as any out there.....outside of Ani Difranco who seems to put out an album for every season (turn, turn, turn.  With the Internet's low barrier to entry  (if you have a computer and a MySpace account, you at least have "Tom" as a virtual friend/fan), distribution of music has never been easier.
