Hmm. I'm thinking maybe Jane's heralded the end of alternative rock by cycling back to classic (stadium) rock influences. That's the kind of stuff (pompous, bloated, over-produced stadium rock) that alternative rock was originally the alternative to.

You probably won't believe this . . . I barely do myself! . . . but I *just now* got it: "peripheral." (gently chucks temple with palm)

"Before Jane, there was no alternative rock"? What an arrogant ass. I agree with #5, I left their performance at Stubb's 10 minutes in. Terrible.

Before Perry Farrell, there were no pretentious rock stars- or were there?

His new band was horrible at SXSW. Maybe the band has gotten better or maybe the CD kicks ass, but the shit they played at Stubbs was god awful and embarrassing.

The Replacements, Husker Du, Pixies, and about a hundred other bands would beg to disagree, Perry. But hey - it did make for a nice sound bite.

Hi - small typo in the article. The show is indeed on August 25th, but that's a Saturday, not a Friday.
