Worlds collide as Eric Crampton, economist at Canterbury University, gets some commentary from death metal god (and classical pianist) Trent Reznor on the
economics of scalping. Haven't listened to Nine Inch Nails in forever but the group is of course extremely important if you ever are interested in the alt-rock/goth-rock scene and its evolution...or if you are interested in some precisely articulated goth rock that does not back down even when it gets uncomfortable NIN is it. I prefer their slower, more melodic work but there is certainly a time and a place for the harder, more cynical stuff.
