Had enough with the crooning amateurs covering tired songs from the seventies on contest-type musical TV shows? Maybe you LIKE to sit through the famous judges critiquing some poor soul’s performance of a lifetime. Not that it’s wrong.
Perry Farrell (have you heard of Lollapalooza?) is proposing a live music series to television networks, reports Entertainment Weekly. Instead of featuring singing competitions and celebrity judges, Farrell reportedly wants to create a showcase for established touring acts to come through and perform on TV for a large television audience.
No word on which network might be interested, if any, or what the show would be called, but one has to think that Farrell might be able to pull this off.

Jane’s Addiction, currently on the support tour for their latest release, The Great Escape Artist, are laying plans for a new album and an expansion of the popular summer festival, Lollapalooza.
“I’d like to give it a six-month window and just get another Jane’s record out, coming off the heels of The Great Escape Artist,” Perry Farrell told LocalBozo of the new record. “I think that’s the way to do it for us. I don’t think we’ll wait eight years to do another record.”
Lollapalooza will be adding another location next year as well. Just where it will be has yet to be announced.
