And you thought the Blur/Oasis feud was fun. When Trent Reznor dissed Chris Cornell’s new album on his Twitter, it didn’t really matter much; just a good ol’ Twitter jab. Reznor’s April Fools joke, however, has taken the feud to a whole new (and hilarious) level.
“To download NIN’s new full-length album Strobe Light, PRODUCED BY TIMBALAND, enter a valid email address in the fields below,” Reznor’s new site says. “A download link will be sent to you immediately. Your credit card will be charged $18.98 plus a $10 digital delivery convenience fee. Your files will arrive as windows media files playable on quite a few players with your name embedded all over them just in case you lose them. You will also receive an exclusive photo and a free email account with our partner Google’s Gmail service.”

03 Black T-Shirt
04 Pussygrinder [Feat. Sheryl Crow]
