The Nine Inch Nails and Timbaland Collaboration

Trent Reznor was pretty vocal about how much he hated Chris Cornell's collaboration with Timbaland, when he tweeted the following statement in 2009: "You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell's record? Jesus." So it was a pretty perfect April Fool's day joke when he began promoting his new album Strobelight, a collaboration with Timbaland, on April 1. The fake record featured songs with titles like "Everybody's Doing It" (featuring Chris Martin, Jay-Z and Bono) and "P---ygrinder" (featuring Sheryl Crow), both of which we hope become realities in the very near future.
