I want to go to there…
Is there anyone more Hip than Jack White? I don’t think so. From The White Stripes, to The Raconteurs, and also The Dead Weather. Jack is the best.
I have recently watched entire seasons of the reality show called American Pickers on Netflix. Love it. Problem is I don’t have cable so I can’t see recent episodes. Thank God for youtube. Or watch the full episode over at the History Channel.
It was announced today that pre-sale tickets for fan club members only are currently on sale for Jane’s Addiction‘s THEATRE OF THE ESCAPISTS TOUR. (with Black Box Revelation)
The show is coming to the National Theater in Richmond, Virginia on Friday March 9th. Unfortunately general admission tickets ($44.95) are already SOLD OUT. As I write this…there are still tickets available for the Ticket + Autographed Lithograph package deal ($74.95).
Now I believe these are just the pre-sale tickets that are sold out, and more tickets will be put on sale when the show goes on-sale to the general public on Saturday January 14th.
Got back to HipsterApproved Headquarters last night from the trek over to the West Coast. (pictures coming soon..have to get rid of the jet-lag first.) Was quite excited to find waiting in the inbox of my email a notice about the hippest band, Tool performing at Hampton Coliseum on Friday February 3rd.
Tickets go on-sale tomorrow, Saturday January 7th 10:00am. Tickets cost about $54 or $69 depending on where your seat is located.
Maynard James Keenan may be the hardest working man in show busniess. I know that Puscifer is currently touring, and A Perfect Circle just wrapped-up a tour not too long ago.
MJK also is busy making wine. If you haven’t seen the movie Blood Into Wine, you should definitely check it out. It’s currently available to stream from Netflix.
Sorry for the video/audio quality. This song is available on iTunes. (Without Jimmy Fallon.)

I recently (around 12/7/11) saw a news article on-line about the up-coming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2012.
I was very excited to see that ‘hipsters’ the Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Donovan (as well as Guns N’ Roses and others) have been inducted!
I also read that the induction concert has been moved back to Cleveland, Ohio instead of New York City where it has taken place for a few years.
Well….I’m originally from Columbus, Ohio and thought that this would be the ultimate concert to see on a visit ‘home’.
I just took a look at RockHall.com website to verify the date, and saw that the concert has already SOLD OUT on Dec 17th!
The concert is taking place on April 14th 2012 at Cleveland’s historic Public Hall.
If anyone goes, and would like to report back to HipsterApproved.net with all the details…that would be great!
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!
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.
