Is Trent Reznor some kind of music blog addict?! Judging from his hand-picked opening act selections. The answer is yes. Opening for him on his summer tour will be Deerhunter, Crystal Castles, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, A Place To Bury Strangers and White Williams.

And rumors are flying that NIN will release a new album on May 5th through their websites, much the same way they sold Ghosts I-IV.........
