Jane's Addiction Work With Master Musicians of Joujouka

Jane's Addiction are back this August with a new album, which they showcased this week with new single 'End To The Lies' which, intriguingly boasts an appearance by the Master Musicians of Joujouka. You can download the track here.
Jane's Addiction, featuring original members - singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins - announced the collaboration on their website: "We wanted to add a sense of ancient ritual and some depth beyond normal instrumentation, getting off the typical path that rock bands use, etc,” said Perry Farrell. “And we wanted the music to cast a spell on the ‘lies.’”
New album The Great Escape Artist was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. Costey said the Master Musicians of Joujouka’s parts weren’t recorded with the band or in a studio: “It was all recorded in the Master Musicians Madrassa [school house] which is out in the village of Joujouka in Morocco where they live. The drums were recorded in the kitchen and the rhiatas in the main room of the house."
Farrell added: "Lots of sounds were recorded with them so you may hear more of them on the record. You'll have to wait and see."
Master Musicians of Joujouka manager and sometimes producer Frank Rynne said: "I met Jane's Addiction in 1991 backstage at the Marquee in London. They are sublime rock & rollers, musicians and artists. I am proud of the Master Musicians performance for this record and the musicians worked hard and really listened hard before they did what they always do and blasted hard trance rhiatas and funky tribal beats."
The Master Musicians recordings for Jane’s featured a 14-man lineup, many of whom will be appearing at the festival held in their home village in June, with more plans to be announced soon. For more information about that, go go here.

PJ Crowley Criticizes Pentagon for Denying UN Visit to Bradley Manning

Former State Department spokesman PJ Crowley isn’t stepping back his criticism of the Pentagon’s treatment of Wikileaks whistleblower Bradley Manning. Crowley was fired last month after calling Manning’s treatment – which includes being stripped nude nightly and existing in almost complete isolation – “ridiculous, counterproductive, and stupid.”
On Twitter last night, Crowley renewed his campaign against the Pentagon’s torture of Manning. In two tweets, Crowley contrasted the State Department’s push for human rights for an American held by North Korea with the Pentagon’s decision to “play by its own rules” in denying the UN Special Rappoteur on Torture an official visit with Bradley Manning.
While Crowley seeks to contrast State vs. DOD, both are to blame. It’s clear from the State Department briefing with Crowley’s acting replacement that the United States is having a hard time differentiating itself from China with regards to human rights and detention policies. State claims to be completely forthcoming about UN visits to Manning, yet it still hides behind the Bush-era defense of “ongoing legal proceedings” to not discuss why it’s complicit in denying the UN an official visit to Manning.
It’s hard to imagine Crowley continuing to go rogue in contrasting State with the Pentagon; clearly, the State Department wants to Pentagon to take the blame for Manning’s torture, and it’s open warfare in the media right now.
That said, Marine rules clearly state that “official visits” are allowed to prisoners at Quantico brig. The Pentagon and Quantico should follow its own rules and allow official visits to Manning.
Sign our letter to Quantico and Pentagon leaders: follow your own rules and allow official visits to PFC. Bradley Manning. Click here to add your name.
