An ominous warning on the giant video screens precedes the Jane's Addiction show: "Be aware organised pickpockets are operating at T in the Park".It's especially timely, given that 90s alt-rock legends Jane's Addictions are gearing up to take to the stage and play biggest hit Been Caught Stealing. However, at first it was the band themselves who were robbed of time: 35min late into an hour set¸..
I've seen Janes Addiction twice, once at Hammerstein Ballroom with Flea on Bass in '97 in the vid below, and once at Jones Beach last month. For some assanine reason, one can't drink a beer at Jones Beach unless they pay for VIP seats (cuz it's a state park), so one must take matters into one's own hands before arriving, which isn't always pretty, as one tends to indulge more up front hoping ag...

Perry Farrell & Dave Navarro Reunite. Dave's guitar looks like a rocket ship? True, NYC Fashion week this year has been unbearably boring. Thus far, it's been filled with flowy non-descript spring dresses and B-grade stars making front row (The Hills and Gossip Girl chicks could really learn a thing or too about over-exposure. They're more omnipresent on the NYC streets than those Kanye slit g...
The Playboy/ C3 party is one of the best late night SXSW ragers consistently every year. So how do you celebrate year 10? With Jane's Addiction as the headliner.

I sauntered down to the NME Awards at the El Rey Theatre in LA last night, intent to see if it would live up to the golden hyped hype. After all, there was a red carpet and all! Hosted by the Brit Music mag (that has a wicked monopoly on music across the pond and is trying to break ground here) and Myspace (yes, Tom was there), the NME Awards is definitely still in the growing stages here in th...
..I'm gonna be running around over by the coastal side of town, in Marina Del Rey tomorrow, so I thought I'd slap me some LA-styled funkiness on here today via Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual LP...I don't know what it is about the bass line on this joint but I've always dug it... if your ass hasn't started shaking to it by the time that dog starts barking in the middle of the bridge, ...
