Staring at the Sea

Took the train down to Cinque Terre , which was my first time at any “Riviera“, not counting the one on the Strip. I didn’t mess up the experience by being a tourist and buying keychains, I just saw on some rocks and started at the sea.

I accompanied it with a small soundtrack, as the sounds of the ocean were too cool to ignore for a long period of time:

Kite-U2

Estranged-Guns N Roses

Sometimes-James

Fuera De Mi-La Ley

I’ll let you read into the songs. I thought a lot about how I don’t get out to the ocean much in San Francisco, and that could be attributed to the lack of “life” I had in my work/life balance. Now that I’m unemployed, I will have more time to do so, but I also feel the next job has to have some boundaries (set by myself). Perhaps my biggest regret is that I gave so much to the last job that I never really appreciated the life that it gave me. Yeah, shitty, but at least I got to go to Italy. Thanks eBay 😉

Hannah, I made you a Jane’s Addiction mixtape.You can access it here

This is obviously just a taste of them, and I avoided the “Strays” album which didn’t include Eric Avery. I started and ended the mix with the 2 most epic songs they ever recorded, “Mountain Song” has the classic  bass line, while “Three Days’ has the most amazing Dave Navarro guitar solo!

They also recently received the NME Godlike Award, which resulted in the first live performance of the ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS in over 17 years*. Here’s a cool interview about that:

Enjoy!
