Having recently beem dumped, I find it funny how much band break-ups resemble the ends of rocky relationships. wink.gif
You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. That's when you have to hope even harder, and stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la laaah!"

While I'm sad to hear this news (huge Jane's fan) I'm kinda glad its going down.

Their last incarnation seemed like an oldies tour, I was just waiting for The Monkees to start as their opener. "Just Because" had great promise as a single, and is a great Jane's song, but the rest of that album sounded like "Hey let's make a record just like Jane's, but I don't wanna be bothered by actually writing and recording the thing." It was THE definition of phoning it in. In fact,

I think they did more harm to their reputation than they did good, by reforming.

All I have to say is that its about time they let go. Besides, Perry has his DJ career to think about, as if he wasnt f-ed up enough during the 90's he's hangin out at raves now. He says he's all in to his Jewish roots now and is working towards being a holy man or somthing like that. I think Its the ecstasy talking.

Dont get me wrong, I love most of their stuff. I also hold them responsible for alot of awful trends/ bands in both music and fashion. take it how you will.
THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL
