Trent Reznor + Karen O cover Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs have just released a video (directed by David Fincher) of a hard-rocking/industrial edged version of ‘Immigrant Song’ by my favorite band of all time…Led Zeppelin. It’s from the soundtrack for the film Girl With The Dragon Tattoo now available on iTunes. The CD comes out later this month.
This makes it the second time Trent Reznor (with his partner Atticus Ross) have worked with Fincher. Reznor and Ross brought home an Oscar for the soundtrack to The Social Network last year, which was directed by Fincher as well. Awesome CD too!
Jane’s Addiction – The Great Escape Artist CD review
Had to wait eight years to hear a new CD from Jane’s Addiction! Well worth it.
It’s not like Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, and Stephin Perkins along with TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek haven’t been keeping themselves busy.
I’m not going to go into detail about the particulars of this CD. Basically if you’re a fan of Jane’s Addiction you will also like this CD. It does not disappoint. If you want a huge review I suggest you check out this one in pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15910-janes-addiction/ (Though I don’t agree with everything that reviewer says about this disc.) I am a huge fan of the band…but I don’t just follow a band blindly. They need to earn my respect and this does. Jane’s Addiction have done it again.
I was lucky to get the bonus edition which includes a second 11 track CD of a live performance from the 2011 Vive Latino Festival in Mexico City. Perry’s between-song banter is hilarious!
Jane’s Addiction is the Led Zeppelin of our generation.

Hipsters in the news…12/13/11
This ‘Hipster‘ article was in today’s Village Voice here-> villagevoice.com
Pretty funny….
I tried to make it the Brooklyn Christmas Tree, not the Hipster Christmas Tree; however, I am happy for everyone to have their own take on the work.
All hipsters deny being a hipster. Fact.
Hipster Christmas!

Pearl Jam Twenty on Netflix
I watched the new documentary called Pearl Jam Twenty (or PJ20) streaming on Netflix. I love when new movies go straight to Netflix streaming so I don’t have to wait for it, or go rent it at my local video store. That can sometimes take years.
PJ20 is directed by Cameron Crowe who is famous for starting as a writer for Rolling Stone magazine at the age of 15. He is definitely one of my favorite directors and he is a huge Pearl Jam fan.
I’m a big Pearl Jam fan as well. I first saw them at Lollapalooza ’92, and have seen them a handful of times since them. They always put on a great show, and I’ve always been a huge fan of grunge (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains…)
I love music and I also love movies, and when the two meet…that’s the best. This movie doesn’t disappoint. It brought back memories of great times in the ’90s. I definitely recommend this documentary.
