This week we’re discussing every album by Porno for Pyros. Formed by Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros is a completely distinct spin-off band. Where JA was more guitar-centric, these guys are more rhythmic and psychedelic. A completely different style, but dynamic and with plenty of musical depth. Also, the band did a ton of crack. They’ve since reunited with legendary bassist Mike Watt for a final tour.

This week we’re talking about Jane’s Addiction. While these days Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro are household names in rock (and reality TV), they began as a shockingly innovative alt rock band in the late 80s. Jane’s Addiction earned every reputation they ever had: great musicians, great performers, and narcissistic heroin junkies. With the possible exception of bassist Eric Avery, these are not good dudes. Rockin’ tunes, though.
Closing track: “Summertime Rolls” from Nothing’s Shocking (1988)
