Song of the Day: Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole

     I was doin' some driving today, and as I'm sure we can all agree, being on the road requires the right music. If you're anything like me, you can't really spend a few hours in the car with anything too mellow or sedate. That shit can be dangerous.



     No, any road trip longer that a jaunt down to the corner store requires something rocking and...well, driving. Metal usually makes good driving music, but other stuff can work just as well. The genre-straddling work Trent Reznor has done over the years in Nine Inch Nails is replete with excellent examples, like today's song.

     Your song tonight is the Nine Inch Nails classic "Head Like a Hole" from their 1989 debut album Pretty Hate Machine. It's got the perfect combination of heaviness, singability, and crossover appeal to garner the approval of each and every occupant of your car. And if somebody in the car isn't down with some Nine Inch Nails to get their roadtrip rolling, what are you doing going anywhere with them?
