a new studio album for the first time in 13 years. WooHoo!!!

Jane's Addiction Vow To Be Nice To Fans, Make Them Bagels 'Just Because'

'Just Because' is Jane's Addiction's first new song in six years.

by Jon Wiederhorn

Jane says to stop being so selfish and do something to make someone smile.

On the propulsive "Just Because," Jane's Addiction's first new song in six years, frontman Perry Farrell delivers a message of hope in a time of turmoil.

"It's

about people's ability to stoke each other out for no other reason than just because," he said. "It's very rare when a person will just make ya a bagel just because. I wanted to plant a seed that hopefully will become kind of infectious with people doing things for each other just because."

One of many potential singles from Strays, the band's first studio record in 13 years, "Just Because" encapsulates the energy and positivity of the rest of the album, a joyous celebration of life peppered with pointers about how to make the world a better place without stalling the party.

"When I'm writing for Jane's Addiction, I never leave you in doubt," said the spiritual singer. "I'll either give you a solution or I'll raise a glass and say, 'Let's have a toast,' or I'll get slinky in the corner with somebody. I like to have a good time because I don't want to bum people out. Music should lift you and music should give you a feeling of celebration. It's a very positive vibe."

Musically, Strays blends the kinetic drama of the band's 1988 record, Nothing's Shocking, with the sonic exploration of their second disc, 1990's Ritual de lo Habitual, but does so cleanly and concisely, filtering grandiose themes into four-minute songs tailor-made for rock radio.

"It's harder to keep us from squiggling than to ask us to squiggle," Farrell explained. "If you let us go, we would come up with a 20-minute song. That's squiggling. We know how to squiggle and wiggle. But it's harder to say, 'Now, guys, stop moving a little bit so I can see you.' "

"For the first time we really approached it saying, 'OK, let's write a song that has part "A," part "B," a bridge, and then ends,' guitarist Dave Navarro elaborated. "We're still able to take you on a sonic journey, we've just been able to compact it a bit more."

To the average fan, the title Strays might not seem as declarative or flamboyant as Nothing's Shocking or Ritual de lo Habitual, but it has a special meaning for Farrell, who has often felt like a stray dog wandering the street.

"I came up to California as a stray," he explained. "I'm a Greyhound Kid. And then I ran into these guys [to form Jane's in 1984], and we got together for a short time and had an incredible time and an incredible journey. And then we all strayed off [in 1991]. And then almost 13 years later, we strayed back together. And it feels great."

Yeah... Whole lotta love in some trippy acid trance way. It's not good. I't will be interesting to hear the new album, but I know it's not going to be anything like Nothings Shocking/Ritual. That time is over.

StupidFuckingWhore · 06-13-2003, 07:41 PM

the new janes album has already leaked out, i have it, and its good but not great. nothing really stands out too much but there isn't any techno shit in the album lol.

neewwman · 06-13-2003, 07:49 PM

Flame me if you must, but this is the best band of all time:

Perry's always been kind of a fruity hippie... Thats nothing exclusive to their newer stuff...

'Summertime Rolls' off of Nothing Shocking (1990)

"Fell into a sea of grass
and disappeared among the shady blades
Children all ran over me
screaming "Tag...you are the one."

He trips her as her sandals fail
she says, "Stop - I'm a girl
whose fingernails are made of a mother's pearl."
Yellow buttercup, helicopters,
orange bittercat chasing after
the crazy bee, mad about somebody, oh no

Me and my girlfriend don't wear no shoes
her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
She loves me, I mean it's serious
as serious can be
Well she sings a song and I listen to what it says:
"Well if you want a friend, feed any animal."
There's so much space I could cut me a piece
with some fine wine
it brought peace to my mind in the summertime,
and it rolled

Summer
oh
oh oh oh summertime rolls

Me and my girlfriend
don't wear no clothes, you know
her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
I love her, I mean it's oh-so serious
as serious can be"

Always sounded like acid trip hippie babble to me...

Plenty of refrences to "blue water and flowers" too

But that being said -- I do still think that Janes is one of the best bands of the last 20 years at very least

hottoddy · 06-13-2003, 09:50 PM

The new single sounds decent.

Jane's Addiction first got big when I was in college (UCSB). They played several times for free. While good live, Ferrell spent several minutes every show insulting the audience. He's an arrogant dick.

I would agree with as far as live bands go but they never translated well on their records.

shit got me in hot water in 98

AmeliaG · 06-13-2003, 10:11 PM

I saw Janes Addiction play a club show in Connecticut before they blew up and it still today stands out in my memory as one of the best live shows I've ever seen.

Saw the beginning of a Cheap Trick show around the same time at a different venue and some gigantic guy broke my friend's knee so they had to stop the show and get emergency med techs in. I asked the EMTs to give her something for the pain and they told me they figured we had more to offer there than they did. Sadly, we did not.

jollyperv · 06-13-2003, 10:19 PM

Ahh, cheap trick-- surrender, that song is so fucking good.

Bobby Fissure · 06-13-2003, 10:33 PM

If only Waters and Gilmour could be on speaking terms again... then the title of this thread would be justified.
