Eddie Vedder : Earthling
Friday, February 11th

he'll be going on tour in February with Chad Smith, Josh Klinghoffer, Chris Chaney, Glen Hansard, and Andrew Watt but the closest shows to DC are Newark and NYC (only east coast dates).

He deserved better from RHCP

on the one hand, i understand where you're coming from… he was with them for almost a decade, and he was turned away as soon as Frusciante pulled his head out of his ass long enough to realize where he belonged.

on the other hand… Klinghoffer was always a placeholder.  it's Frusciante's band.  Klinghoffer knew it, and in interviews he's oscillated between "i knew this would happen one day" and "this was the worse thing to ever happen to me".

serious question: what would "He deserved better" looked like?  paid him more?  told Frusciante "sorry, no, we have a guitarist"?  become a two guitar band?  a transition period?  i ask, in all seriousness, because based on what i've read i was handled as well as possible.  the peppers were honest and direct about what is ultimately a bad situation.  it's like a romantic breakup: there is no good outcome for the one who is rejected.  there are only shades of bad, and in the peppers' case seems to me they handled it as well as could be expected.  maybe you've read something else?
Nice.  Liked them back in the day.

The Cure?

The Cure announce UK and European tour for 2022
A new "67 minute" album has also been teased

band is describing it as "merciless" and the "most intense, saddest, most dramatic and most emotional record we’ve ever made."  hype that hype!

previously Smith said the next album will be their last, but apparently they're now working on 3 of them - although the third one sounds like it's barely started and formless.
