Jane Says, Let's Party

hey hey Milwaukee.  see ya at the show.....

Bear Piss and Beck Covers Velvet Underground

kinda stumped on this one. All I can say is call the number and forward to your friends. Totally worth the awkward call.

In other news, Beck is trying to out-hipster everyone again by forming a record club that slowly cover full albums from back in the dizzy. Posts about a song a week. He can do that. He's Beck. Although let it be noted that Beck's first cover is "Waiting For My Man" by Velvet Underground. Hey Beck-tard: the song is called "I'm Waiting For The Man". Its about scratchin your addiction crazy, waiting for your heroin dealer to meet you on the 6train on Lex and 125th in NYC. So wipe that smile off your LA face and get the title right. Lou Reed should slap you with a bagel. Lucky for you, you are Beck and the cover is f-ing amazing. (sub topic: Velvet Underground, along with Jane's Addiction and Me First and The Gimme Gimme's, might be the best band name ever)

Jane Says: I Seriously Can't Handle This Right Now

So here's the dealy: Jane's Addiction are touring with Nine Inch Nails this summer on the NINJA tour. Get it? NIN. JA. NINJA. Thing is, Jane's are one of those tear-up-the-underground-and-break-up-before-your-success bands so the four of them in the same room, let alone performing again is pretty awesome. In late 2008, they decided to give it a test run so they bought out little Mexican restaurants around downtown LA to play old-school, word-of-mouth gigs. I musta went well because on Feb 16th, Jane's played their first proper gig at the Echoplex in LA which brings us to this post. I can't handle this. Peep this video and if you CAN handle this, check your pulse and cancel your internet service now. Now!
