I only own his first three albums. I last paid for a concert of his in 1993. Then I got a free ticket to see him this last May in Japan, where I met and talked with him extensively at a meet and greet and got the candid play-by-play on the implosion of my beloved but uber-crotchety Bauhaus (his tourmates in 2006) and their finished-since-2006-but-as-yet-unreleased new album. Straight shooter, he is. I thought then (and told him so), "still don't like your current music yo, but you are one amazing person."

Now, one more reason I heart Trent Reznor.
