4. Have you lost your mind, The PIXIES! Wilco! Sonic Youth! The Flaming Lips!
are beyond cool. The Pixies and Sonic Youth were the two biggest influences on Kurt Cobain. Geffin would not even have signed Nirvana, if Sonic Youth had not told him too.
I have never been so excited about a concert in my life.

Stay away from corporate music, it has fried your brain.

3. Perry Farrell is THE MAN

Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell goes to Sudan on slave redemption mission

(snip)

Since 1983, militia forces armed by the Sudanese government have been terrorizing black African villages in southern Sudan with slave raids: shooting adult males and abducting women and children as chattel slaves.

Armed only with a boombox and his legendary voice, Farrell started up freedom parties at various redemption sites. "He began dancing and singing," said Wiebalck. "I wasn't sure what would happen, but then everyone joined in."

Belting out tracks from his new album "Songs Yet to Be Sung" (Virgin Records), Farrell sang about freedom with songs like "Happy Birthday, Jubilee", which evokes the biblical injunction to free those in bondage every 50 years.

Farrell was introduced to the modern-day anti-slavery movement by Aaron Cohen, of the Jubilee Freedom Foundation. In September of 2000, Farrell and Cohen came to Washington to watch escaped Sudanese slave Francis Bok testify to the Senate. A few months later, Farrell brought Bok on stage in front of a crowd of 40,000 to launch the American Anti-Slavery Group's website, iAbolish.com.

And I too absolutely LOVE him for it.
