Idolator

Remember that babysitter you looked up to as a kid, only to run into him when he was grown up and realize he or she was kind of a sad dick? That's how we feel about Perry Farrell. In the early '90s, he was the lead singer of Jane's Addiction, a band whose space-metal sound and censorship battles prompted at least one-half of the Idolator team to wear a first-amendment T-shirt in high school.

Then came the 21st century, which brought a weak reunion tour, an even weaker reunion album, and all sorts of BS that Jane's fans were forced to endure. And now, according to AOL news, he's dug up the still-pretentious corpse of Jim Morrison, using a previously unknown vocal track from the Doors singer for a song with Farrell's new, sure-to-be-terrible band Satellite Party:

Now, the $64,000 question: Where did this track (and 'The Vast Visitation of Energy,' another Satellite Party song that features Morrison) come from? As previously reported, the tapes came from a healer in Israel, who contacted Farrell and implored him to co-produce the tracks. While the song features poetic imagery, Farrell says he adapted the vocals to fit the music. "I want this to be on the radio," he says.

Lord help us, this could be the least desirable posthumous team-up since Tupac met Bruce Hornsby out on the range. If Farell's quasi-new age kick is the result of fifteen years of drug use, we're going home and throwing away all of our Dimetapp.
