Briefly: Nine Inch Nails, Barbra Streisand, Mavis Staples, Sinead O'Connor
Trent Reznor is giving Nine Inch Nails fans a chance to make their own remixes of his group's latest single, and has also rolled out dates for a European tour behind the band's soon-to-be-released album.
Titled "Year Zero," the forthcoming disc--which hits stores April 17--features the cut "Survivalism," a multi-track version of which is available as a free download from the album's website. (The file is formatted to work on Apple computers outfitted with that company's GarageBand recording-studio software.) Reznor plans to make every track from the album available in the same fashion over the next few months, according to a message posted at NIN's website.
Also posted at the site are details for the just-announced batch of European shows.

The event supports Staples' forthcoming album, "We'll Never Turn Back," which is due out April 24.

"Theology," a new, two-disc collection from singer Sinead O'Connor, will land in stores June 26, Koch Records announced today (3/29).

"It is my own personal response to what has taken place and is affecting everyone around the world since and including September 11, 2001. I simply wanted to make a beautiful thing which inspires me."
