Michael Schellenberg [My Bass Player] first showed me Nine Inch Nails. And I will say, it took me a while to get used to them.
I started off with the album "With Teeth", and then got myself the Free Download for The Slip.
I found myself very interested in Trent Reznor's ideas for Music Distribution, and it ended up being the First Article I ever wrote for The Real Musician!

Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
