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.

“Piano Man”

Billy Joel | 1973

Billy Joel’s first hit, “Piano Man,” was – ironically – an autobiographical lament about how his first album wasn’t a hit. When Cold Spring Harbor didn’t take off, Joel briefly became a lounge pianist in Los Angeles, and this song, about that experience, expressed his frustrations and fears at the time: “And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’” “It was all right,” Joel said later, about the gig. “I got free drinks and union scale, which was the first steady money I’d made in a long time.”
