"Last week Trent Reznor told fans to keep an eye on that Nine Inch Nails/Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction tour Website, and now we know why: The NIN/JA2009.com launched today with a free six-song EP in tow. Featuring two songs by each of the artists involved with tour, the Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction tracks are the highlights.\r\nTwo songs that appeared on Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction&amp;apos;s 1987 self-titled live album, &amp;quot;Whores&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Chip Away,&amp;quot; make their studio debuts more than 20 years later, with Reznor himself serving as the tracks&amp;apos; producer. You can hear Reznor&amp;apos;s flourishes all over the drum-heavy &amp;quot;Chip Away&amp;quot; and on &amp;quot;Whores,&amp;quot; which sounds like it would have been at home on the second side of Ritual de lo Habitual.\r\n&amp;quot;Whores&amp;quot; was on the set list of Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction&amp;apos;s high-octane performance at SXSW last night, where the band played a not-so-secret show stocked with pre-1991 songs in an old supermarket outside Austin, Texas. The EP also features two new tracks by Nine Inch Nails, dubbed &amp;quot;Not So Pretty Now&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Non-Entity,&amp;quot; plus two tracks by Tom Morello&amp;apos;s new Street Sweeper side project, which will open for the bands on tour. As Reznor has always been a champion of high-quality sound, the EP is being offered in three DRM-free formats: MP3, FLAC and better-than-CD 24/96 WAVE files.\r\n&amp;quot;Just to get some creative juice flowing, we went into the studio for about two weeks,&amp;quot; Perry Farrell told Billboard.com about the tracks. &amp;quot;We had the idea to re-record two tunes, just because they&amp;apos;d never been done officially in the studio. And we had some fun writing some new things. A handful that are close to finished, but not quite done. But there&amp;apos;s no rush to put anything out at this point.&amp;quot; For the NIN/JA tour dates, click below:\r\n&amp;#x2022; Trent Reznor Reveals Nine Inch Nails and Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction Tour Dates\r\nRelated Stories:\r\n&amp;#x2022; Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction Rip Through Early Catalog at SXSW &amp;#x2022; Photos: A Brief History of Jane&amp;apos;s Addiction &amp;#x2022; Trent Reznor Tells Fans &amp;quot;Don&amp;apos;t Buy From Scalpers,&amp;quot; Criticizes Secondary Ticket Market"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
