Pitchfork: Nine Inch Nails Tour Kicks Off Tonight

Just a few days before the May 3 release of With Teeth, Trent Reznor & co., aka Nine Inch Nails, are heading out on tour in support of the group's new LP. The band will cue things up in San Francisco before tackling a headlining spot at Coachella. From there, the tour will head to the East, hitting most major cities with a two-night engagement, and wrap its way around through the South before coming back to Southern California. Following a night in Mexico City, it's on to Europe for summer festival season. After some shows in the UK, they'll have some time off before a couple of festivals in Japan.

In other news, Reznor has made the album's lead single, "The Hand That Feeds", available for download in Apple's GarageBand format. This'll enable you (yes, you!) to make your own remix of the album and play around with each different track.

Reznor explains: "I did this on a PowerBook...Drag the file over to your hard disk and double click it. Hit the space bar. Listen. Change the tempo. Add new loops. Chop up the vocals. Turn me into a woman. Replay the guitar. Anything you'd like. Giving this away is an experiment. I'm interested to see what comes of it, what issues are raised and what the results are."

That's right, boys and girls. You can download this, add a cowbell track, and call yourself the DFA. Oh wait, speaking of the DFA, they're currently prepping their own remix of "The Hand That Feeds". On the NIN website, Reznor said the DFA are "doing the most interesting production work out there."

That said, James Murphy's remix will most definitely be better than yours.
