It's good to see Parry and Dave back together, but do we really need to see the album being advertised on TV?
I remember going to Jane's gigs in awsome little venues. Reading articles about how much Perry was pissing Warner Bros. off for not complying. Even supporting him thru his egotistical Porno days.
Now, over a decade later, his face is staring at me from huge billboard posters, and tv ad's are encouraging me to buy his new album 'NOW!'
I can't help but feel Perry has sold out. Capitol Records must have really squeezed him hard, and he must have been desperate.
Still I have to admit, I have liked what I have heard. It dosent quite bring back the good old days, but it is worth a listen. It's just a shame about the way it has been promoted.
