Maybe the guy who operates "some divers whistle" could ask Eric about some of these pending issues. Plus its always a pleasure hearing Avery's insight.

It's absurd to the point of offensiveness. If it's "kid" music, then Jane's should make music for 15 yr old kids and we should keep on distracting ourselves elsewhere. The "kids" business suggests pandering and selling out. If the goal of Jane's is to be played a lot on KROQ, then the whole thing is a sham, and can only end horribly. If you're not making music for people of intelligence and taste similar to your own, ARE YOU NOT THEN SOME KIND OF VERSION OF THE WIGGLES FOR TEENAGERS? <BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, Jane's does not aim to make "rock" for "kids," but instead aims to simply make MUSIC (which may well rock, BTW), and aims not to be played nonstop on KROQ, but instead to make music which is deep and from the heart, and full of art and complexity and variety, then we'd be getting somewhere. We can look at the model of Radiohead or Tom Waits. These people simply make music. They make what they want, and they take chances and they DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE INTELLIGENCE OF THEIR AUDIENCE. They don't make music for "kids," they make music for people. Tom Waits does whatever the fuck he feels like, and he has a devoted audience that is guaranteed to pack a theatre every single time. He will never play to an empty seat, and he will also never try to make a KROQ record and play in giant stadiums.<BR/><BR/>I hope that Jane's aims to make quality art for intelligent PEOPLE. They will never play to an empty seat."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-86734822312516799162009-02-04T05:02:00.000-08:002009-02-04T05:02:00.000-08:00Yeap!Yeap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-56955153720560377882009-02-03T17:20:00.000-08:002009-02-03T17:20:00.000-08:00Not Satellite Party alone, Panic Channel is rubbis...Not Satellite Party alone, Panic Channel is rubbish too mate.

Excessive exposure makes a child materialistic, which in turn affects their relationship with their parents and their health.<BR/><BR/>That is one of the conclusions of a new wide-ranging survey into British childhood, produced for the Children's Society.<BR/><BR/>It says that children are part of a new form of consumerism, with under 16 year-olds spending £3 billion of their own money each year on clothes, snacks, music, video games and magazines.<BR/><BR/>The report claims that some advertisers "explicitly exploit the mechanism of peer pressure, while painting parents as buffoons" and that in its most extreme form, advertising persuades children that "you are what you own".<BR/><BR/>In addition the "constant exposure" to celebrities through, TV soaps, dramas and chat shows is having a detrimental effect.<BR/><BR/>It says: "Children today know in intimate detail the lives of celebrities who are richer than they will ever be, and mostly better-looking. This exposure inevitably raises aspirations and reduces self-esteem."<BR/><BR/>It adds the way celebrities are portrayed "automatically encourages the excessive pursuit of wealth and beauty."<BR/><BR/>This "media-driven consumerism" is having a negative effect on a child's wellbeing, the report says.<BR/><BR/>Continue at: http://tinyurl.com/avzbs2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-4517105061018849462009-02-02T18:32:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:32:00.000-08:00hEar mE ouT aLL. per-i in a veLvet coRset & d...hEar mE ouT aLL. per-i in a veLvet coRset & dav-e in a black dress on tHe tour pleAze or it won't b janes'. erIc whaT will u bee wharin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-4422807466699592552009-02-02T17:52:00.000-08:002009-02-02T17:52:00.000-08:00Hey lhr you're not posting, thats not like you are...Hey lhr you're not posting, thats not like you are you sick?

R&B riffs, dirty blues and Jaggers mock American vocals made them dead certs for success in Uncle Sam land. They got up everyone's noses and the kids loved them. Beatles or Stones ? Compare their version of I want to Be Your Lover complete with Blues slide guitar. Pisses all over The Beatles. The Beatles were pop. The Stones were R&B. Early songs showed their influences of Chuck Berry, Willy Dixon, gospel and country. <BR/><BR/>While the Beatles were loveable mop tops the Stones looked like Neanderthals and they played it to the hilt. They portrayed themselves as vulgar, arrogant and aggressive causing parental and establishment disapproval with their attitude including peeing against garage walls and allegedly snacking on confectionary from the hairy cup. 'Satisfaction' their theme toon railed against advertising while hinting at unrequited sex and the nihilism of youth. The authorities hated them. Punks with money, women and prestige.. Their contribution to punk has never been truly acknowledged probably because of what they became. From the nihilism of Paint It Black thru the garage punk of Be Your Lover, Satisfaction and Jumping Jack Flash. Where would the Dolls have been without Richards hairstyle and jaggers lips and unusual dress sense ??? The link between The Blues, Rock'nRoll and garage. <BR/><BR/>We can even laugh at their ludicrous attempts to mimic the Beatles with their dreadful Satanic Majesties Request album. But all power to them they came back with Let It Bleed and Beggars Banquet ( the original cover was going to be a manky graffitied urinal !!!)... two near perfect albums and as spiky as ever. Like the Beatles reality intervened at Altamont when instead of being Lucifer, Jagger and his cohorts were just jumped up rock stars out of their depth in the reality of a death. Unfortunately that was it.. as America drugs and money beckoned they progressed to become a drug addled super group going thru the motions and embodying the worst excesses. But for a golden period they were the bollocks. Now a corporate monster and freak show to despise. A living waxworks."<BR/>www.punk77.co.uk/punkhistory/rollingstones.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34077024.post-17477734500659794942009-01-28T16:38:00.000-08:002009-01-28T16:38:00.000-08:00ugggggg!!!!
