Jane's Addiction are heralding the August arrival of their new album The Great Escape Artist by giving away a free mp3 of the set's first single "End to the Lies." The track starts off with a funky groove from the band's new bassist Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio, but quickly shifts into the sort of colossal, soaring rock that made the group alt-rock legends.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
