Jane's Addiction mastermind Perry Farrell is plotting a South Florida visit during Art Basel Miami Beach. The enigmatic alt-rock frontman will unleash the Perry-Etty versus Chris Cox act -- featuring his wife, Etty Farrell; and DJ Chris Cox -- that popped up at Lollapalooza earlier this year with special guests to boot. It's all part of the Precision Guided Musicians project, a rotating cast of electronica artists assembled by Farrell for exclusive bashes around the country.
