Guitarist Mo Ouyang is here with us today, discussing Jane's Addiction and their 1988 major label debut, Nothing's Shocking! Over the course of an hourlong discussion, we cover...

• Mo's long residence in Shanghai, China, and the types of guitars you can get there
• Jane's Addiction's surge in late-80s Los Angeles and their cultural influence
• Who Jane was, and why it was probably not great for Perry Farrell to write a song that uses her name
• The hippy vibe of "Summertime Rolls"
• The influence of Jane's on Mo and his friend MC Frontalot
• What it was that Ted should "Just admit" on "Just Admit It, Ted..."
• Whether the lyrics in "Standing in the Shower... Thinking" really say "The water is a-piping hot" or something less wholesome
• What the "Pigs" represent in "Pigs in Zen"... and for that matter, what "Zen" is in that song, too
• Our key tracks and a preview of next week's episode!

Come join us for an hour of thoughtful and good-humored commentary, and we'll catch you on the B-side!
