Two years ago Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo decided to begin his tribute to the late Jaco Pastorius.
A jazz musician by trade, Pastorius was known by other musicians for his intricate solos and ability to make his fretless guitar “sing” in upper registers.
“I loved jazz fusion and branched out from there,” Trujillo says in an interview with USA Today. “But Jaco had an edge that far exceeded his jazz persona. He was funk, he was rock, he was soul. And his whole attitude was punk.” Trujillo continues, “Jaco was my hero growing up.”
According to Pastorius’ biographer Bill Milkowski, “Jaco was the Babe Ruth of the bass.”When can we expect to see the film?

The Kaleidoscope Orchestra, performing at the Contact Theatre in Manchester, England, recently recorded a 10-minute classical piece using songs from GRAMMY award winning DJ Skrillex‘s More Monsters and Sprites and Bangarang EP’s, as the foundation. His remix of Benny Benassi’s “Cinema” plus his own songs “Right In,” “Equinox” and “Kyoto” were woven together to produce the orchestral experience.
The piece was written by Steve Pycroft, a composer, drummer and percussionist. Pycroft’s resume includes drumming on The Johnny Cash Story, creating remixes for notable dance artists and recording new material with Plan B.

People can collect some pretty strange things. We recently found out that actress Anna Kendrick collects lip balm, and it turns out Kevin from the Kevin and Bean Archive collects Mountain Dew cans and bottles from around the world.

A mixture of Britpop and ’70s-tinged soul ska with groovy gospel organs, the California-based band Suedehead dubs themselves “international soul rebels.” The name Suedehead applies to a dapper sect of ’70s British subculture; Suedehead kids who also liked ska and reggae, but preferred a more soulful, elegant style.
In the very intimate video, the director and friend Derek Bahn captures the subtle, intimate details of the band members including freckles on knuckles, the pulsating drum pedal, fingers plunking out notes on a keyboard, and guitar strumming. All juxtaposed with close-ups of frontman Davey Warsop standing in front of a black abyss.
What’s up KROQ listeners/readers, and welcome back to another edition of Into the Wild Wednesdays. Summer is just around the corner, and you know what that means…cuties in bikinis and dudes with six packs…not of beer, silly.
What better way to prepare for those stares than to soak up the sun and warm up that beach bod in the midst of the jungle that is LA/Hollywood…Runyon Canyon.

It’s no secret that Jack White and Beck–who rock similar style these days with the long hair/hat combo–have been musically interested in each other for quite awhile. For example, almost a decade ago, the two played a show in Ann Arbor, Michigan together.
Recently, the two have come together to lay down some tracks at White’s Third Man studios for the Blue Single Series. The tracks are a scorching number called “I Just Started Hating Some People Today” and “Blue Randy.”
According to the Third Man Records website, the tracks were recorded in 2011 in Nashville while Beck was working on new material for his next album. Beck conjured up the tracks while on his final day in town at the studio.

Josh Homme totally gives off “cool bro” vibes and the Queens of the Stone Age frontman sure has enough talented artist friends to prove it. Just recently,the red-headed musical behemoth sang a sultry rendition of Johnny Cash’s “Jackson” with Florence Welch on MTV Unplugged and the Hives confessed that Homme was their main homeboy at an interview with KROQ/Los Angeles at Coachella.
Now Homme is showing off his really awful/hilarious/weirdly erotic acting skills with an album “infomercial” for the Scissor Sisters’ forthcoming album Magic Hour which will include collaborations with artists like Diplo and Pharrell.
