stole over to the hammer museum this afternoon while i waited for belle (who was reclining in a dentists chair). show was missable but i spent the hour browsing their bookstore. i struck by how many great ideas are contained in any collection of books like that one. i was also reminded of just how important it is that we make things that are totally unnecessary. there have been years, even before the years of gw bush and friends, where mostly conservative folk have had contempt for art that, according to them, has no 'purpose'. they believe that the marketplace, not tax dollars, should fund art. but i would argue that that by definiton is a market. it creates commodities and the exchange of commodities. that is fine as well but its different. it is in the moments when we contemplate unnecessary things that we transcend our daily lives. i believe we, especially americans, need more of this kind of time. and personally, for a believer in truth, reality, and rationality that sort of time is the closest experience i have to magic.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 433 Newer› Newest»Dave should definitely record an album with Corgan's group, IF they can keep it loose and natural, as opposed to giving everything a lifeless metal sheen. They sound surprisingly good.
Billy Corgan is a good artist and obviously very intelligent. Lets hope his new project continues in this new direction
Glad Dave is playing music instead of doin reality shows and the like. Music is where he is best and Spirits in the Sky is nice & organic. Fits perfect.
This is a fact, Perry loves canned music
Hope Corgan's project doesn't get real big and just becomes cult. I don't want this to be the next big thing and spoiled.
It would B a treat to hear a studio remake of "mornin dew" with Navarro, of course
^
That may be in the works
in 2001, JA reformed, PF decided to be a businessman from then on. He was tired of making artsy music, it bored him nearly to tears. The problem is he sucks at business and the business world.
What a suprise to see BC resurrecting a Grateful Dead number. Fun.
Dig that he is not hiding behind a wall of distortion and the garden variety of synth beats like so many guys do.
Granted the cover tunes he presented is miles away from his background and anything else in his career but at least he is keeping it real.
Got to give him credit for looking to nature for influence and to bypass the technological gimmicks.
Once again Billy has become the "alternative".

Not a Dead song dumbass read the blog
you're married eric your bills will only get bigger. you should know thats what women do best spend a man's money
^

To be fair to the dumbass, Corgan & co. did perform the song with Dead-like touches, and were likely influenced by the Grateful Dead version, which is the best-known version.
However, I still like to give credit to the original songwriter. It had been recorded a number of times by different artists before the Dead added it to their live set.
Another example is "Hard To Handle." People think the Black Crowes wrote it. Then, if they're lucky, they hear the Dead version from much earlier, and say "oh, The Dead wrote it," when in fact it is a song originally recorded and co-written by the great Otis Redding. Also reminds me of the song "Respect." People think Aretha Franklin wrote it. They hear Otis Redding's version and think it's a cover, when in fact Otis Redding was the writer and the first to record it.
"you're married eric your bills will only get bigger. you should know thats what women do best spend a man's money"
F you and a kiss on the cheek in the most gentle & rehabitual way. You couldn't be more wrong. Maybe your dominant paradigm is a tight fitting dress that only fits you.

But he won't sing
Billy Corgan was born on Pluto sent here by an alien to save the earth from bad music
Hate to say it ea, but you dropped the ball again
Billy C,
Dig what your doin cept your audience really blows. Carrying on loud conversations up front and center while u play, just plain rude. Thats SoCal for u. They don't appreciate that stuff here. Yr in the right state but ya need to head north my friend, head north and small towns and make sure Navarro is by yr side.
Yr gonna find folk who appreciate what yr doin and love lyrics not just goin for a social gathering to be with a celebrity musician. Remember all the tards at Jane's Addiction this summer holding up there camera phones. Lame Lame Lame!
y doesnt he play on college campuses?
This is not BC blog... hey Eric post something new.

Pop Music Review
Corgan in good spirits at friend Saxon's tribute
By Nina Garin
Union-Tribune Staff Writer
September 1, 2009
Corgan and crew performed lovely, acoustic-driven songs complete with three-part harmonies and instruments as diverse as a violin, organ, flute and tambourine.
The complex arrangements showed Corgan as a more sophisticated songwriter than you might expect. There may be more in his musical future than Angst-driven rock songs and Smashing Pumpkins reunion shows.
Even when the show got loud during the band's cover of Pink Floyd's “Lucifer Sam,” there was still something refined and mature about the five-minute jam. The 15-song set was mostly a mix of obscure covers and new material. It was heavy on soft sounds, almost New Agey. Still, the crowd was riveted.
“It was totally worth it,” said Bay Park's Tim Bollisch of the $50 tickets he found on Craigslist. “I would have paid more. Billy Corgan is still writing great music.”
The mood in the room full of 20- and 30-year-olds was so casual that even Corgan interacted with the crowd. He was chatty and took questions all night.
At one point, a bit of Corgan's difficult side did emerge.
Early in the set, he asked the audience to sing along to his new song, “Widow Wake My Mind.”
It wasn't loud enough.
“This ain't gonna get me back to the arena,” he said.
He started over, but then the band messed up. It took four tries to get that song the way he wanted.
So, yeah, maybe Corgan is a perfectionist. But if it makes for magical concert experiences like this, who's going to complain?
Union-Tribune
Hey Corgan your not supposed to keep restarting and replaying a song if you mess up that pisses off the listener Corgan
OK I feel bad and apologize for the F-you. The kiss on the cheek remains.
Couldn't stand to hear you defame Belle like that. Still, sorry for cussing you.
Womyn have saved me from doom over and over.
With affection, respect and kindness,
Mike

Sorry but he's one of the few doing anything interesting in the music world right now so what else is there to discuss. We were counting on JA to do it, but alas they let us down. Don't misunderstand I'll be more than happy to retract this statement if & when they get their act together.

Small tip in reference to your recent writing blocks. If one listens to good inspiring music it will most likely enable him or her to write good quality music.
You see, Perry listens to absolute garbage electronica so he is not inspired to make anything great. Put Garbage in get Garbage OUT. That seems to be the way it works. If Perry actually listened to Cabinet Of Curiosities instead of nonstop Britney Spears and Daft Punk he would succeed.
Britney´s Addiction....still this blog has the most honest comments of this phase of Jane´s(unlike ja.com)...which by the way I don´t know where is going.
When we have an earnest willingness to change and let the light consume us, there is only love ahead. I guess there is always a third road, one of devout faith and meditation, a sober man's way to enlightenment.
Be patient.
We must keep reminding ourselves of this...
we are far from exempt of that third road though. if we don't want to fall back, its exactly that road one must embark upon.
There are no real shortcuts to enlightenment. We can ask for directions though; and perhaps get a glimpse of what lies ahead, to keep one going (or get one started).
Now go and listen to Flower Quartet "Remembrance" and ponder..
You can lead an old horse to water but ya can't make him drink, hehe.
The only thing I don't like about the Navarro & Corgan band is the drummer. He puts too much heavy handed emphasis on the downbeat. Thats fine for heavy metal but if you want to go floating away on clouds and rainbows the drummer needs to play lighter and more relaxed and let the hand percussionist do more of the work. Stephen Perkins would be good in that spot.
I am new to the Grateful Dead. There are many CDs to listen to. Can you point me to best ones? I like the country folk sounds the most. Any guidance would be thankful.

You say the others suck, but I think you just don't know them well enough. You list Zeppelin as being good, but you suggest Muddy Waters sucks, although he was a huge inspiration to them to the point that they ripped off his music multiple times. The Stones worshipped Muddy Waters to the point that they NAMED THEIR BAND AFTER HIS SONG. Unlike Zeppelin, they had the decency to credit his songs ands influence, and perform with him, at which time even narcissist attention hog Jagger laid back:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydspyNjoIp0
Sam Cooke doesn't even come close to sucking. Listen to Live at the Harlem Sq. Club. Lou Reed, whose band you listed as being good, said that he didn't know how anybody could live without this album Also listen to Night Beat. Listen to A Change Is Gonna Come. Sam Cooke is was hugely influential to most of the other artists you listed. Shit, just listen to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdkzMlTVHaA
You suggest Bo Diddly sucks, but he was revered and covered by several of the artists you list as being good. Covered by The Doors, The Stones, and fuck knows who else:
Who Do You Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAGoqMZRLB4
You list Little Richard as sucking, but likewise he was a huge influence to jsut about all the artists you list, especially The Beatles and Stones.
Otis Redding sucks? LOL! Then you list a wishy-washy namby pamby act like Simon and Garfunkel? Otis Redding was a fucking maniac powerhouse. Nothing against those two little momma's boys, but Otis would've bitten their heads off.
You've basically just listed artists who are more famous to mainstream rock fans. I'd check out some of the other people in a more in depth manner.
Hi, I listened to some of the sound clips from The Grateful Dead releases you mention and they're good. Going to make a run at the record store this weekend and pick me up some vinyl.
Thank You!
Spirits In The sky.......well.totally.yeah.
Did Dave co write any of it? In any way I wanna hear him bust out some original acoustic music in that style. Ya man totally narly dude.
The solos were his
butt wat kaused Korgan 2 make a sudden shift n stile
May B it had somethan 2 doo w Dave's spiked butt plug
BC/Navarro's new songs remind me of the whimsical album 'Space Oddity' by Bowie, a fine release. One of the classics.
I would cum in britney's right eyeball
No one has answered this question, why's Perry Farrells voice so much lower now? Is because he can't sing high or cause the guitar>bass is downtuned.
BTW-I do not like downtuned Jane's and not be able to hear Erics mighty bass cut through because he plays too low like grunge nu-metal people.
^
Another brainless comment, what's your point?
^
^
^
Singer's voices get lower as they age, and Perry is no different. It's not really a "question," as everybody already understands this fact. It happens to all singers, even trained opera singers.
There was no choice to play lower. If these guys could go back to their regular tuning, they'd do it in a heartbeat. There's no denying that most of the material sounds worse in a lower key. It gets to sound muddy and plodding. This is not to say that they do not play well. They do play well. It's just that they've got to cater to Farrell's seriously diminished voice.
You can still hear and feel the bass guitar you just can't always distinguish the notes he's playing (or tell exactly what its doing) so its more like a presence and not a defined tone like say, Joy Division or Jane's '86-91. I think he distorts it now sometimes as well so that would change things a lot. I think he's shooting for an industrial metal sound, not my cup of tea. His bass tone on "Chicken Bone" isn't bad but still not like old Jane's which was near perfect.
^
MOre likely to do with low quality youtube vids not picking up the bass freq
The sound Reznor slapped on "Whores" is expired anyway. 1994-1997 NIN/Marilyn Manson sound is dated and that's what it sounds like.
Eric Avery's debut solo album Help Wanted is a fence rider. By the time it was all over I didn't really get a sense of what direction the music was trying to go. Instead, I was greeted by an assorted mix of songs with the only identifiable commonplace being the unmistakable style of Avery's vocals. I was also disappointed in some of the bass licks. Being a bass player with a deep resume, I was looking forward to hearing some interesting lines. Unfortunately, I was mostly let down. This could be a creative decision however, so it would not be fair to knock him for it. Overall, this album is ok. It's probably not worth purchasing on just a whim. After all, what's in a name?
http://www.staticmultimedia.com/music/reviews/eric_avery_-_help_wanted
Eric Avery
Help Wanted
Though there are some well-written pieces, utilizing a wide range of strings, synths, and drum machines, I just can’t shake the feeling that this album already sounds dated. The production and style (namely the guitar sound) screams mid-’90s all the way. Not that there’s anything terribly wrong with that; it’s just not exactly pushing the envelope here in 2008. I’m sure longtime followers will take away a lot of positive vibes from this album, but I don’t see a whole lot of new fans coming along.
http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Eric-Avery
Eric, pleaze go back to making alternative-surf-funk like the song "Zulu". That's the best post- Janes you have created my friend.
And please make the drums sound real this time and not like prepackaged Portishead drum-machine loops.
^
And please shut up
If I forcibly eject a mass of bloody red & brown stool out of my glute onto a wall and it leaves a pretty stain could this be called art? I want to know.
You're welcome with regards to those Dead albums. I know they'll provide musical kicks.
^
^
^
^
^
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think EA was the one responsible for the surf guitar you mention. I think his guitar player wrote the clean strummed sectins in Polar Bear.
Now to the vocals;
Perrys vox were above average on "Whores" and "Chip". Nice reverb, delay there. Not as high as he used to but not bad. He can't pull it off live at all but on tape he can do ok.
Now to the music;
Well very badly produced, not impressive. Need improvement.
HR I agree with your comments...is Dave Jerden retired?
I like NIN but the production on the Jane´s songs is not good.
criE yrevA
Do ignore 95% of these comments, they could be harmful to your aspiring career and Jane's Addiction.
^
^
It is a matter of record that Dave Jerden has already offered to Eric that he would love to produce a new Jane's Addiction album.
I love dance djs and electronic "artists". They are soooo talented to able to go in, sample some1 elses music and call it their own. How cool is that? To go in and steal another's work without giving credit. I want to be a electro hipster when I grow up and hang with the candy ravers and hip hop masters like Perry Farrell.
^Hey that subject has been beaten to death on all the forums.
Basically anyone who aligns himself with the karaoke electronic nonsense cannot be taken seriously as a musician.
He effectively removes himself from the arena of classiness and lowers himself to the level of comedic parody.
So lets move on. Carry on with the Avery discussion...
Dave talks about Spirits In The Sky
DAVE NAVARRO: You know, I’ve known Billy for many years and I’ve never had the opportunity to play music with him. So this is truly an honor. I’ve always found that as a musician, I’m more influenced by the artists I work with. Just having gone through the rehearsal process in this project has opened up a side of my creativity that I wasn’t in touch with. So, I’m honored, I’m grateful and I’m extremely proud of what we’re doing
www.shockhound.com/features/741-billy-corgan-dave-navarro--spirits-in-the-sky?cm_re=Homepage-_-Panels-_-BillyCorganDaveNavarroInterview
I hope Corgan stays with the name of the group, calling it Spirits In The Sky. The Smashing Pumpkins name is a 90's thing and will always be associated with that period and not anything new or charting new territory. The Smashing Pumpkins moniker is like an anchor holding everything back in my opinion. Plus if Dave stays in the band it would be fitting to keep the new name.
sounds like rejuvenation for dave
billy corgan lol. what does billy cock's real singing voice sound like? all i hear is a horrid screech that hurts my ears if i try to listen
Boston Herald: "If Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl revived Nirvana with Courtney Love, riots would ensue. (On the other hand, Billy Corgan is the lone original member operating in the Smashing Pumpkins, and nobody seems to mind)." - #

Sorry butt he can't answer for that of which you speak. Take that issue up with his boss, PF.
NIN played Dead Souls...what a great song an a great cover by NIN also.Can´t believe they played it.
kneel before Perry and his $100,000drum computer that makes music for him without any work on his part
Love 'em or hate 'em you have to admit 31 songs is giving the diehard Nails fan there money's worth at well over 2 hours, probably 3.
Perry Farrell would be hacking, gasping for breath and coughing up blood at anything past the 1 1/2 hoour mark, hahahaha!

You'll have to pardon him, Eric knows not of the King Crimson song which you reference. He is of limited knowledge and cannot respond. But he can recite the lyrics to each and every Radiohead and 9" nails song in existence.
Soft shit is really one long, mostly continuous sausage before it comes out. It gets its "link" look because we tend to pinch off lengths of it with the anal sphincter as the shit emerges. If a person pinches hard enough, the shut separates into several shut units. If the person doesn't pinch that hard, the shit may stay connected. If you can remain sufficiently relaxed, you can produce an awesomely long shit that will coil up inside the toilet.

Eric go see the Butthole Surfers live if you can those guys are still playing and sounding great..they reunited the 1989 formation....Gibby´s voice sounds just as psycho as it did in the olds days... unlike Perry Corporate Farrell.
Trent Reznor and his boyfriend were walking down the street and his boyfriend said, "Hold it a sec-I smell fresh cock." "No you don't said Trent Reznor. "I just burped."
nin can play 30+ songs a night because most of it is pre-recorded backing tracks. I wouldn't be suprised to learn TR lip syncs.
Q What is the difference between Britney Spears, nin and Milli Vanilli
A There is no difference.
the thing with the abandoned studio sessions 2008 make me think janes can't play like they used to. i mean with perry making dance music and eric making his music sound processed without strong bass guitar make me think they lose the skills they once had. maybe they have no other choice but to go electronic because they lost the chops. true?
I can't speak for the other guys but Dave is in fine form this year. With Perry, Billy or Trent he is a diverse guitar player and a chameleon. None of the other guys except for Perk can shift gears so rapidly and play almost any type of music out there and do it with finesse. Props to Dave.
A new decade is upon us and there is a change in the wind. The 2000's were rubbish for music. Lets hope the 2010's will bring a breath of fresh air as this decade comes to a close.
With steady pressure, gently insert tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement. Insertion may be easier if person receiving bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the ass. Do not force the tip into rectum as this can cause injury
Whatever Jane's A decides to pursue...should they plunge into a new recording...they must ask themselves....in 10-20 years from now...will this album hold up?
Guys like TR are so transparent. What a self-centered pouting little twit. Every other song he writes is about him and his stupid dysfunction and depravity. He attempts to generate this soap opera aura around huimself and his miserable life and proceeds to tell the planet about it. Get a load of these song titles about his spoiled rotten life

What did I tell you guys about a new JA album, huh?
Expecting anything good to come from JA is like expecting the sky to rain money. It isn't going to happen.
Why don't Eric and Dave sing some background vocals along with Perry live? His voice sounds so weak and strained nowadays so Eric and Dave could prop him up a little. By themselves Eric and Dave are not great singers but in a backing context they could do fine and dandy. I wouldn't mind hearing them do some covers well outside their comfort zone like anything from 1964-1973, when the best music was being made.
no
Trent should have kept his long hair girlie look because now he is ugly. Yeah so he has some muscles now but the steroids make him look like a balding gremlin.

An estimated two million conservatives, fed up with runaway government spending marched on Washington, DC today and delivered a resounding “no” to a proposed nationalization of the American health care system.
Obama the communist and his fellow maoists in the congressional leadership are taking this country down the tubes at lightning speed, yes this is true. but what bugs me about the "fake" conservatives is where were they when jackass bush wasted billions on iraq, spent loads of (borrowed) $$$ on new entitlements and the banker bailout last october?

Perrys breezy vocals buried in the mix as just another texture.
Daves' guitar is clean, spaced out, textural, and loopy
Eric's bass is sharp, high pitched and carries the melody
Steve's drums are light, poly tribal
Jane's Addiction
release 2010 -
The new album from Jane's Addiction, first release in a long seven year wait, is quite a pleasant surprise! These guys have left the 80's metal antics behind and are charting new territory. The guitars and vocals have an otherworldy touch, they sing like a daydream. Dynamic, tribal, folk rhythms push the energy gently.
Avery, Navarro, Farrell and Perkins create blissed out musical voyages deep into the 4th dimension. They seem to be estatic when picking up where the gorgeous "Summertime Rolls" and "My Time" have left off!
The elements paint a masterpiece of an homage to a bygone era that is not merely being recreated to glorious effect, but sounds as though it never went away.
^
Thats not going to happen. They never played My Time and had to be coerced to play Summertime Rolls on tour this year. These guys are bent on ramming the Trent Reznor industrial metal up your ass and leave it there till it rots.
Correct me if I´m wrong but these guys as Jane´s Addiction have not made new music since late 1988...cause I have a lot of bootleg gigs and the only songs that I have not register during that time live(86-88) are Of Course, Stealing and So What...those first two are played during 1990 and 1991, "So What" I just don´t know when it was made...my point is I don´t know if they got in them to write new music like on those days.
What do you think Eric?
Spirits in the Sky members (Dave Navarro?) are now on the scene in Chicago where they are working on a new record.
Over the past few days working with master engineer Bjorn Thorsrud we nailed a killer drum sound and just started dialing in the bass a guitar tones. It all starting to sound very exciting.
Billy Corgan turned to Vintage King sales representative Darrin Fendley for advice on outfitting his new Chicago area facility with a wide selection of top-notch vintage and new recording equipment. The list included a wide array of outboard gear, microphones, converters, Pro Tools, and three rare vintage recording consoles: An EMI 24 channel TG12345 series desk, a Trident B-Range 12 channel sidecar [ed. maybe like this one?] that was ‘Premium VK Restored’ by Vintage King’s expert tech staff and a vintage 70’s Helios console, which is currently undergoing a Premium Vintage King restoration.
Bandleader Billy Corgan is giving it another shot with the launch today of EverythingFromHereToThere.com, a mandala-crowned “collective of thoughts about spirituality and the greater good of life in general.”

Self-esteem was the best single predictor of depression. The results support previous findings with younger children and high school students by demonstrating that sex-typed characteristics in adolescents are significantly associated with depression, although this relationship is accounted for by the variance shared with self-esteem, a more general measure of mental health. However, the presence of negative feminine-typed characteristics was as highly correlated with depression as the absence of positive masculine characteristics and both relationships were stronger for females than males.
Masculinity is associated with self-esteem, body satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. Androgynous and masculine subjects are generally similar and well adjusted; whereas feminine and Undifferentiated subjects were similar and less well adjusted. Results are interpreted as evidence for the adaptive nature of changing female sex roles.
Good to see Eric, Martyn and Pete together at the surfing event via youtube clips.
How great it would be if Pete/Martyn/Perk formed a new band with Martyn on vocals with Eric producing channeling some of the spirit of Porno For Pyros.
^what about perry farrell?
He's a lost cause this point. The other guys still have it but are not making good use of time and talent. Martyn made some really good demos that he nothing with. Pete makes basement records that never get heard and Perkins is playing the oldies circuit for cash.
Hi Eric,
Will Jane's be playing any sideshows while in Australia or do I need to go to the Soundwave festival in order to catch the show?
*farted*
*relieving myself, emptying my bowels*
mmm, just thinking about a nice muscular man coming home from a sweaty day at the office, and opening his ass for me to sniff and lick
RELATIONSHIPS
In Perry's relationship his wife plays the male dominant role and he acts as the submissive female. It works for them. But a real man would not enjoy being dominated by a man in a woman's body like ELF.
In Dave's past relationships he took on the responsibilities of a man and lead. His wives were envious of this power and tried to strip it from him and rule him like a male. Dave is not gay per se and would allow himself to be belittled and feminized like PF. So his marriages didn't work.
Our culture has been chick-a-fied over the last 40 years. It has moved from a Patriarchal society to a Matriarchal in which strong masculine males are demeaned and taught to feel guilty for their masculinity in popular culture. Feminism plays a central role.
Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan took the uncommon step today of publicly committing his band to deliver the music of an enormous and as-yet-unrecorded (though largely written) album, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, in a variety of specific formats. He writes:
My desire is to release a song at a time beginning around Halloween of this year, with each new release coming shortly after until all 44 are out. Each song will be made available absolutely for free, to anyone anywhere. … We will however sell highly limited edition EP’s (of 4 songs each times 11), and details of how those EP’s will be made available are still being worked out. … When the entire album is finished, it will be compiled into a deluxe box set which will also be made available for sale. Those who have bought the EP’s need not worry, as the box set will not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces.
Corgan also addressed the album’s music and themes:
The story of the album is based on ‘The Fool’s Journey’, as signified in the progress of the Tarot. It is my intention to approach this by breaking down the journey of our life here into four phases as made by these different characters; the Child, the Fool, the Skeptic, and the Mystic.
The music…harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins: atmospheric, melodic, heavy, and pretty.
“The Fool’s Journey” is a modern interpretation of the 22 uniquely named cards that comprise the trump suit in the Tarot, a pack of playing cards that dates to the late Middle Ages. Those who have articulated the “Journey” concept — including psychedelic-movement icon Timothy Leary — associate stages in life with each card, beginning with the first card (named “The Fool” and often numbered zero) and ending either with the 22nd card (“The World”) or back again with the first card. Here is one example of how the cards can be associated with stages in life, here is a second, and this page from the latter site is much too amusingly coincidental not to link.

For you guys who were wondering Dave Navarro tweeted today
"Perkins and I were the Dead Heads".
So they were big fans of the Dead, probably not Eric or Perry so much if at all.
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them..
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 535 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country
Do not let these 535 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 535 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Martyn LeNoble is a good songwriter. His soft, airey voice reminds me of Daniel Ash's but better.

The genius of Dave/Billy is their use of 2 acoustic guitars. Billy's strummed acoustic and Dave's counterpoint acoustic accompiment. The 2 guitars blend together in a seamless piece of beauty as heard in this recent clip.

Trees look SO WEIRD.
The mall can be an awful place to be when you're quite messed up.
Clothes are silly and can get really obnoxious; everything would be so much nicer and more comfortable without them.
Standing on top of a huge hill overlooking an entire city while listening to Pink Floyd feels amazing.
Running down such a hill while listening to The Beatles feels almost as amazing.
Plants are really cool and they're like, higher beings of some sort; people should appreciate this and try to communicate with them.
Our perceived "reality" is nothing but a miniscule fragment of "true" existence. There is an inconceivable number of perceptions and experiences beyond possible human imagination and our measley human senses of touch, taste, hearing, sight, and smell. Our whole universe that we live in day-to-day, albeit complex in itself beyond our wildest dreams, is just a tiny speck in all that there truly is to be found.
Jasper
Hows the prozac treating you?
I agree. Martyn should make more tunes. I don't know why he doesn't. Aside from the fact that there's no money to be made in that biz anymore, unless you're U2 or something.
it is very good the profit factor has been swept aside from the music biz. too many losers making shitty corporate music for cash and not for the sheer thrill of making art and self expression

eric, where were you when the psych boom was giving way to the beginnings of progressive rock?

He was dreaming about the lovely crossdresser david bowie

He was like 5 what a stupid question is that.
where were you anyway?
Where was I? Since you must know,
I was doin quaaludes with Jim Morrison, beeyotch
Fuck progressive rock. Genesis, Yes=suck. There were better things to listen to in that period. After the Beatles broke there was born the progressive and then there was the George Harrison solo stuff, Crosby Stills Nash, and Grateful Dead's fertile period-way better than most of the progressive.

That is so interesting

Military Police Kidnap G20 Protester, Shove Him Into Unmarked Car
Pittsburg, Sept 24,2009
It’s a shocking scene that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the streets of Nazi Germany or Maoist China in humanity’s darkest historical period – a protester is shoved into an unmarked car by military thugs and driven away to whatever Godforsaken fate awaits him. And yet this is America in 2009, where the First Amendment is now officially a criminal offense and people who dare exercise it are attacked and abducted by military police in broad daylight.

Hello Jane's Addiction,
>Take us on a journey to the temple of mind expansion when we listen to your new recordings<

Check out Billy Corgan's new project I think you will be delighted. Dave is playing with them - very trippy in words/music.
The best song they did on tour this year. BY FAR!!!
:Jane's Addiction - Obvious (June 6th, 2009 - Holmdel, NJ

They did not play obvious
^yeah and birds can't fly, the sun doesn't rise in the east and perry farrell isn't a phony trend chaser
They did play obvious
Eric Avery;
I'd would kindly ask you to write a piece of music that reflects your emotion when you watched the thick ominious cloud bank roll in. I want to feel the same chill run through my bones and my entire body as if I were in your shoes feeling the unworldly eeriness. I want you to then kindly give the music to Stephen Perkins to add his tribal drums onto it. Thank you Eric.
oops I meant FOG bank, sorry Eric
ea does what he wants
Obvious was played 3 times. Idiots rule was rehearsed but abandoned cuz they couldn't do it justice with PF's sour cum throat.
I dosed at night on the beach in Pismo; the ocean's spirit came very pronounced, and the unconscious association between the ocean, death, and the Great Beyond became apparent - the ocean's spirit came alive and told me very directly that one day, too, I would merge with the Great Beyond.

Was not 'Obvious' one of the better songs you heard them play ? How many times can one listen to "the dog bark song" and "jane says" live before you get really bored and go wait in line for beer and hope to God by the time you get back they play something, anything out of the ordinary.
Perry Farrell is a worshiper of money.
They did not play Janes Says, retard
Question: Can we expect new songs from Jane’s Addiction (sooner or later..)? I so wish for that.
Dave Navarro: "I honestly can’t say if it will be soon or late, but yes!"
Please allow me to interpret DN's quote. We would like to make new songs but everyone wants to do their own thing. We are no time schedule in this band and when we get around to making new songs like we promised we may all be well into our 50's. Because everyone knows the older you get the better music you can make so why not wait? Perry insists on pumping out generic impersonal electronic. Eric insists on pumping out something that will arouse Trent Reznor's boner. I am ready to write songs with these guys but they can't agree on anything except the colour of toenail polish they should wear in the studio.
y does what perry does anger u so much?
Because he is capable of so much more and knows what he's doing pisses us off.
The Dave Navarro Experience
A free communal art project where friends of different artistic professions such as design, literature, photography, painting and most certainly music, could come and contribute and evolve.
They did play Janes Says
The only thing more boring than Eric's solo record is sitting through the AARP version of Jane's Addiction. Jane is addicted to her alzheimer drugs now.
Eric is too busy counting his $$$ from the Recraps tour to post here anymore.
I don't think they made that much from the tour cuz they had to split profits w/nin and JA had an expensive stage setup. What profits there were prob in t-shirt sales. I hope they took whatever $ they made and reinvested it in the band like some vintage analog gear, studio time, marketing plans, website improvement, ect. Perry is the weak link, not eric/dave/perk.
Listen closely young ones... many things happen to you as you approach age 50. One of the biggest is that your body seriously begins to decrease its output of testosterone. This is serious business, hon, without testosterone, you no longer can do all those things that overcompensated for your female side... sports decline, sexual appetite for women declines, you stop working out, you stop feeling like a man, and you stop feeling that you should continue to act like a man. And your feminine side explodes in the vacuum left behind. You dress more often, you take more chances, you buy more clothes, you see more men... you become more of a woman, physically, mentally, spiritually, and sexually. The stop-gap measure you have been hiding behind for so many years simply disappears... you are in trouble. But there is more...

I find my fun with the yuppies and the hipsters!
i got approval from the dubstep dippers
triphop, house, psytrance mixers
Respect and courtesy. Apply them, goes a long way.
To all the doubters, remember at the first leg of the tour they played Pigs n Zen and we heard the brand new pieces added in. They were spot on, pure Jane's Addiction. These guys still have it, give em some time and they will come thru.
Me thinks Porno For Pyros & Jane's should tour togetha do like 10 songs each then Smashing Pumpkins as da lead act!
"Three Days" played in Atlanta in May- the best I heard Perry sing he sing with more power that date. He wore cool outfit to. Dave look sexi to. Very sexi.
