I have a new hero. Someone i was only mildly aware of until now. His name is Perry Farrell, and his current band Satellite Party has released an incredible album called Ultra Payloaded.

The former front man of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros, (remember the incredible song “Pets”?,) and the “inventor” of Lollapalooza as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction, this incredibly stylish, talented, genious, and bold man is my new hero.

When i got the new Satellite Party album and listened to it, (twice in 3 hours,) i also decided to find out a little bit more about Jane’s Addiction, and discovered a fantastic gem, “Just Because,” from the album Strays, which i had never heard. Ultra Payloaded, the new album, is even more fantastic and modern, and features incredible vocal performances by Perry Farrell as well as performances by many iconic guests, including bassists Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Peter Hook (New Order and Joy Division,) guitarists John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Peter DiStefano (Porno For Pyros,) vocalist Fergie (Black Eyed Peas and solo fame,) drummer Jack Irons (Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam,) as well as 2 other guest groups, Hybrid and Thievery Corporation. All together they have created an album which is currently my favorite album! Get it. It rocks! Perry, I LOVE YOU!!!
