===Direct Effect: Music That Inspired [[Nine Inch Nails]]===
''Posted to Reznor's Beats Music account in 2014 with the following caption: "Trent, can you create a playlist that most represents who you are as a listener?" Umm... Weeks pass and when I finally confront the task I realize I've misinterpreted the request - I've been making a list of music that played a vital role inspiring the idea, concept and music of Nine Inch Nails. So, this is THAT list - a certainly incomplete collection of tracks that represent a variety of vibes, feelings, trends and records that were exciting to me as NIN was coming together in my head.''

''Posted to Reznor's Beats Music account in 2014 with the following caption: See Part 1's description. Note: being a kid living in rural Pennsylvania throughout the 70s I had never heard of Gang of Four or Joy Division during the actual 70s. These songs are included here to appear cooler than I actually was at the time. Since no one will likely read this description I feel safe admitting this here.''
