NiN|Ja2009 sampler

I was pleased to check my email this morning and see some info on the upcoming Nine Inch Nails/Janes Addiction tour (otherwise known as NiN|Ja2009). The North American tour starts May 8, just up the road from me in West Palm Beach.

What was especially cool about getting notice on this was a link to download a six-song EP with new – or new versions – of music from the bands. Along with stuff from NiN and Janes are a couple of songs from Tom Morello’s new band Street Sweeper, who is also on the tour.

And if all of that isn’t enough to make you crazy, at the NiN Website you can also get tour info, media from each band, streaming music, and new multi-tracks for you to create your own remixes.

This tour looks to be one of the tastiest of the summer, so if you get a chance, definitely get there. Word from last Thursday’s SXSW appearance was that Janes Addiction (with the full original line-up) killed. Here’re the scheduled dates:
