I kept expecting a voice to cut in and say “YOUR local forecast…” and then a graphic for the week’s weather.

My wife listening to this.

I know! The weirdest thing about the RHCP’s is how many of them are close friends with very cool musicians. The whole Fugazi connection was always baffling.

This is fine. Self indulgent twaddle but if he’s going to put out music… sure. There’s zero chance this isn’t costing him a fortune. He’s always seemed a nice guy.

Apparently that's Parker's whole ETA IVtet backing him.

somnolent. I only made it through 2 minutes before deciding it was candy-assed shit and I actually like and listen to lots of "jazz". That 16 year old upright player looked like he was enjoying it...

In the days when James Chance was signed to Unicorn Records (the label that ripped off Black Flag) in LA, it's rumored that members of the Chili Peppers (or at very least, Flea) were to be in his West Coast backing band.

It's pretty bad. I texted some pals right away something like, "This is fucked up, right?"

Jay Bellerose isn't in ETA anymore?
