Dave Navarro is the very definition of a rock star: exuding black-leather cool when he walks into a room, all tattoos, eyeliner and silver skulls. The innovative guitarist from the seminal L.A.-born rock band Jane’s Addiction, Navarro has inspired many a kid to pick up a guitar and start a band of their own. For Navarro, that same inspiration came from the classic rock of his youth — Led Zeppelin, The Who, the Grateful Dead and most importantly, Pink Floyd.

Your head is throbbing, your tongue is hairy, and the sunlight is burning your eyes. Congratulations, you’re officially hungover. Water and aspirin help a bit, but there’s got to be a better way to deal with the morning after.

Bytox is a patch designed to be worn during your night out that promises to halt a hangover before it starts. Rosebud asked Bytox advocate Dr. Leonard Grossman to talk about what Bytox is, how it works and why it’s different.

Spring is the season when the land around us becomes green again. But there are some places nature never meant to be green at any time of the year. One of those places is the Coachella Valley, where the hot, dry desert climate (averaging only 4.83 inches of rain annually) means that very little grows on its own. But that hasn’t stopped the area from becoming an oasis of vacation homes and golf courses where perfectly manicured lawns are nurtured by endlessly hissing sprinkler systems.

Men and women alike rejoice in seeing the Victoria’s Secret catalog land in our hot little hands each season. Men enjoy those glossy pages for obvious reasons — they are full of some of the most beautiful women on the planet. But Victoria’s Secret and its Angels represent a fantasy to all of us — especially entrepreneurs who marvel at the brand’s massive success.

Hey music fans & growers, we have one of our coolest music features ever and it’s in the latest issue of Rosebud Magazine. We talk to rockstar Dave Navarro (of Jane’s Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers fame) about one of his favorite bands – Pink Floyd. Dave is excited about the new Pink Floyd box set and Roger Waters touring The Wall in North America. Be sure to pick up the current issue of Rosebud Magazine to read the full interview.

In the latest issue of Rosebud Magazine, we feature an interview with Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker and psychonaut, Hamilton Morris. Morris hosts a web series called Pharmacopeia over at Vice, a cool site with lots of stuff we like.

I logged onto Facebook tonight and found out that Whitney Houston has died. The pop singer best known for her eleven #1 hits, including “I Will Always Love You,” “Saving All My Love For You,” and “How Will I Know?” had fallen from grace in the public eye thanks to a long bout with drug addiction and some wild domestic troubles with husband and fellow pop star Bobby Brown. But nevertheless, the news came as a shock to me, and I’m sure to many who heard.

Hey growers, once again we’ve got some suggestions for the soundtrack to your hydroponics lifestyle. This week we’ve got five interesting groups - some veterans and some relative newcomers. It’s a little bit of a mixed bag, as usual, but we’re kicking things off with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers and following up with a couple of other bands who have made their way from the underground to major labels. And we’ve got another couple of groups, each with just their second full lengths recently released. Now let’s get to what’s been rocking us at Rosebud Magazine this week.

Remakes have become a Hollywood mainstay. We previously discussed some movie remakes that really missed the mark, but not all remakes are failures. Sometimes a remake can improve on the original by bringing new special effects and updated graphics, sticking more closely to the source material like a book or graphic novel, or employing better acting or directing. This got us thinking-- which movies are ripe for remake? We think we have come up with some excellent candidates.

Christmas comes early this year in the form of a re-mastered, expanded and digital edition of Some Girls, the Rolling Stones’ 1978 work of genius. The stylish box set comes packed with extras as well as some secret, unheard tracks. It seems that producer Don Was went creeping around his musical vault and unearthed a few rarities that are currently being kept top secret until the November 21 release. The treasure trove of extras in the box include a collection of images from a 1978 photo session with the prolific Helmut Newton and a seven inch single of “Beast Of Burden”, B-sided by “When the Whip Comes Down”. This is a must-have for any Stones fan.

Sick Of It All is undoubtedly one of the most important and enduring hardcore bands ever. They helped invent New York hardcore back in the ‘80s and 25 years later they’re going just as hard as ever. We had a chance to catch up with guitarist Pete Koller, who, alongside his brother Lou, founded the band with drummer friend Armand Majidi. Bassist Craig Setari joined in 1992, and has been on board ever since, making Sick Of It All one of the longest running hardcore bands ever. We caught up with Pete in New York to talk about many things, including their new record, Nonstop, on which the band re-recorded some of their classic songs.

The latest edition of Rosebud Magazine features an exclusive interview with one of Hollywood’s hottest rising stars, Henry Cavill, whose new movie The Immortals opens this week. The film is based on ancient Greco-Roman mythology and features lots of cool action of “the swords and sandals” variety. This one is definitely worth checking out and it got us thinking of other movies we’ve loved in this genre. So we put together a roundup here for our faithful RosebudMag.com readers. Check it out.

We’re doing something a little different this week here in Hot Stuff. That’s right, ya’ll. This week there’s no pop, no metal, no hip-hop, no synthesizers. We’re getting’ down home with the twangiest edition of Hot Stuff ever. We know growers are a diverse bunch, so we’re accommodating the cowboys among you with some country, western, and bluegrass choices. We’ve also got some alt country selections for you who like your twang a little further from the mainstream. We’ll be back to our usual eclectic selections next week, but for now, grab your ten-gallon, your spurs, and saddle up.

What do a pair of underground hip-hop heavyweights and an outside-the-box mixed martial artist have in common? Well, besides a love of combat sports and hard-hitting music, East Coast rappers Jedi Mind Tricks and UFC star Mac Danzig both know very well what life is like outside the mainstream.

Jedi Mind Tricks, comprised of MCs Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah, have just released an impressive new album, Violence Begets Violence. Meanwhile, Mac Danzig, aka “The World’s Toughest Vegan,” is coming off one of the most exciting fights of the year at a UFC Live event in October. So we here at RosebudMag.com figured it was the perfect time to sit the three friends down to share their thoughts on everything from the music industry to fighting.

Buckle up readers. This isn’t your typical journalistic Q & A. This is a candid conversation between three men who have carved out a niche in their industries while bucking the stereotype of who you need to be to succeed as either a fighter or a rap group.

American culture has changed profoundly in the 14 years since iconic MTV cartoon Beavis and Butt-head left the airwaves. Today, “reality” television rules; in 1997, MTV's Real World had a virtual monopoly on the genre. Now, in 2011, B & B's brand of sarcastic irreverent humor, using dim-witted high school outcasts to illustrate the stupidity in our culture is more appropriate than ever. The show was so far ahead of its time when it came out that creator Mike Judge had to make very few changes to keep it relevant—even after a 14 year absence, last Thursday's premiere had fans feeling like our boys had never left.
