I really loved
Riverrun, but I'm with you on wanting a physical release – digital just doesn't have the same feel (uh...literally, I guess
) and brings with it its own unique set of problems.
However I wasn't just talking about Reznor's digital output; he's also been building and fine-tuning mechanism for getting concert tickets and physical media to fans while discouraging profiteering, and from all appearances they seem to be working. Even if you're not at all a NIN fan (and I'm not sure I am any more), it's worth keep an occasional eye on what he's up to, if only to see some examples of what the music industry
can be doing right with technology and the Internet.
