Photography by Story WOOF, busy day Wednesday. Oy. Sorry for the delay... But let's get it on! Our little music brigade had ourselves a little contest over in the mixtape room. The challenge seemed simple enough, build a mixtape of essential songs, songs everyone MUST here before they die. But like I wrote the other day when I presented my 3 hour failure, the task is harder than it seems. The sheer weight added to a song by making it an "essential", [...]
Unless you were one of the lucky 390 people who squeezed into Los Angeles' La Cita Bar last Thursday evening or have some sort of weird telepathic connection with Perry Farrell, you missed Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins performing for the first second time in nearly 17 years under the name of Jane's Addicition . Aside from the folks who got turned away at the door, a good time was had by all, as proclaimed by Navarro in his recent blog entry about the intimate performance: [...]
¿Hasta cuando Perry Farrell confirmará la reunión de Jane's Addiction ? Había dicho que la vez que tocaron en los NME Awards no significaba que la banda volvería a los escenarios , sin embargo, ahora nos enteramos que el jueves (23 de octubre) tocaron en el bar La Cita de Los Angeles. El concierto se había estado rumorando durante días previos y finalmente los integrantes originales de la Adicción de Juana (Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, Eric Avery y Perry Farrell) se presentaron en ese pequeño bar donde la entrada [...]

Perry Farrell @ 2008 Lollapalooza (Photo Rollo & Grady) Jane's Addiction played in Los Angeles last night with the original lineup of Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins. I've been unable to find the setlist or a review of the show. I didn't have an opportunity to see them in the late 80's early 90's, but I imagine they still sound good. Though I would prefer my seats to be side opposite from where Dave Navarro is playing. I bet he was a lot cooler [...]
The original lineup of Jane's Addiction - Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins - played their first proper show together in 17 years at La Cita Bar in Los Angeles. One of the great bands from the alternative rock days where college radio was a bastion for unheard artists, the excitement over a Jane's Addiction reunion can't even be diminished by memories of The Panic
While not all that surprising, especially considering the recent scuttle , it turns out that cryptic image appearing on Jane Addiction's website, you know the one with the date of October 23rd being advertised down the left side, does indeed pertain to a planned reunion show. In a posting appearing on his personal blog, guitarist Dave Navarro confirmed the news, proclaiming that the original members of Jane's Addiction will be performing this Thursday night, October 23rd, at La Cita Bar in downtown Los Angeles. The evening will mark the first show with the [...]
Chris Hanson (l) and Geoff Hanson (r) "Scrapple" features what I think is one of the greatest soundtracks ever produced. In their directorial debut, brothers Chris and Geoff Hanson scored a major break when they landed veteran blues legend Taj Mahal , who produced the soundtrack, rerecorded versions of his favorite songs and added some originals. The soundtrack is really the underlying narrative of the movie and also features JJ Cale, John Martyn, Cymande and Widespread Panic. "Scrapple" follows a summer in the life of ski bums [...]
Despite making a highly publicized return at the NME Awards back in May, Jane's Addiction's status still remains as much in doubt as Velvet Revolver, Led Zeppelin, or any other of the countless high-profile rock 'n roll acts who have caused quite a few sleepless nights over the last few months. But head on over to Perry and Co's official website today, and you'll be greeted by a rather startling image. Lady aside, obviously the most important bit of info on the website's front page is [...]
Organizers have announced the dates for next year's Lollapalooza festival. The annual festival will take play August 7-9, 2009 at Chicago's Grant Park . The line-up for the three-day festival, which was founded by Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell , is expected to be announced early next year. Radiohead , Nine Inch Nails and The Raconteurs were among the headliners this year. Radiohead

![Celebrating 20 Years Of Modern-Rock Countdowns, From Siouxsie To Staind [Corporate Rock Still Sells]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1242125_lg.jpg)
Many people find it hard to tell the great from the godawful when it comes to 21st-century mainstream rock. To help figure out which is which, here's "Corporate Rock Still Sells," where Al "GovernmentNames" Shipley examines what's good, bad, and ugly in the world of rock and roll. This time around, he celebrates the 20th anniversary of Billboard 's Modern Rock chart by cherry-picking some of its most oddly notable chart-toppers: Last month, the Hot 100—the big cheese of Billboard 's singles charts—turned 50, and the publication's [...]
El Carmen 8138 W Third St Los Angeles, CA 90048 Phone: (323) 852-1552 Disclaimer: I did not know that El Carmen and Jones (July Featured Jukebox) were owned by the same person. I love both places and they have excellent Jukeboxes. There's some overlap in tunes, but in a good way. El Carmen has been in business since 1927 and for the past 10 years [...]
I was never the biggest Superchunk fan. I'm still not. I do (however) remember that one of my friends from high school (I think it was Darren?) was a huge Superchunk fan. Yeah. And even though I'm including Blur's "Song 2" here, the self-titled Blur album is such a good record of which Song 2 is actually a pretty good misrepresentation. I also saw Swervedriver open for the Smashing Pumpkins at the Aragon back in 1993 or something like that. That was a long time ago. I think my dad drove us there. [...]
Nel rock mai dire mai però a quanto pare è stata posta la pietra tombale sulle possibilità ventilate di una possibile reunion dei Jane's Addiction . Continua a leggere Jane's Addiction: nessuna possibilità di reunion per la band di mr. Farrell... Commenta »
Pese a la presentación que la banda dio en un evento de NME el pasado abril y según declaraciones de Perry Farrell que suponían que quizá la banda pudiera volver a reunirse y trabajar juntos parece que la realidad es otra ya que Farrell ha declarado que en definitiva la reunión de la banda es algo que no sucedera. Respecto a los rumores de que la banda vuelva a reunirse, Perry Farrell , el ex frontman de la banda declaro a Rolling Stone "Hay tanta probabilidad de que [...]

I just wanna be clear, right off the bat, that this is just me playing "What If?" I'm not breaking a story, I don't have a source, it's Monday, it's a slow news day, and I just got to thinking. I don't want this to be like the time that I said it might be cool if Whitfield Crane joined Anthrax and then some putz put it on Wikipedia and asked Crane about it in an interview , and asked as though it were a bona fide fact or even a real "rumor." THIS IS [...]
