[ Photos ] From his blog : Journal Entry #3 The Empyrean is a story that has no action in the physical world. It all takes place in one persons mind throughout his life. The only other character is someone who does not live in the physical world but is inside it, in the sense that he exists in peoples minds. The mind is the only place that anything can be truly said to exist. The outside world is only known to us as it appears within us by the testament of [...]
Ormai siamo abituati ai progetti da solista di John Frusciante, non ci spaventiamo più se ogni tanto pubblica degli album da solo, sono ben lontani i tempi della crisi e del divorzio indefinito dai Red Hot Chili Peppers . L'album, dal titolo Empyrean (copertina nella foto) uscirà il 20 gennaio 2009. Qualcuno ha richiamato l'attenzione sulla data scelta, concomitante con l'insediamento di Barack Obama alla Casa Bianca, ma non ci sono affermazioni in merito da parte di John Frusciante. Quello che ha certamente dichiarato è che si tratterà di un concept album, ossia un [...]
I have some news for those thirteen or fourteen people out there who still give a rat's ass about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Guitarist John Frusciante is set to release his second solo album. The Empyrean is scheduled for a January 20th release. Apparently, former Smiths current Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr will appear on the record. That man will work with anybody these days. John Frusciante's website
Johnny Marr is among guest featured on Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante 's new album, ' The Empyrean '. The forthcoming album, which is due out January 20, will also see an appearance by fellow band member Flea . ' The Empyrean ' is the follow-up to 2005's ' Curtains '. John Frusciante
Johnny Marr parece tener una personalidad inquieta. Pese a que no se decide a publicar nada bajo su propio nombre desde el 2003, sus colaboraciones son abundantes en los últimos tiempos. Ahora, cuando se anuncia la publicación del nuevo trabajo de John Frusciante , The Empyrean. para finales de enero del 2009, también se nos avisa que Marr colabora en el disco, además de Flea, compañero en Red Hot Chili Peppers y Sonus Quartet , un peculiar grupo de cuerda. Donde Marr pone la mano saltan chispas, todas sus colaboraciones [...]
I'm not sure if I've been under a rock on this one, but I've never heard of N.A.S.A. (the DJ duo, not the space agency). Luckily for them, they were obviously on the radars of more important people - their debut album, The Spirit of Apollo , features a veritable who's who of indie-rock, rap and DJ legends, including David Byrne , Tom Waits , M.I.A. , Kanye West , the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Scarface , the Wu-Tang Clan , Chuck D and [...]

beide heißen john. das eine ist nicht eigentlich eine neuentdeckung, mehr eine mehrentdeckung: john vanderslice (das gute lied "white dove" kann man sich da herunterladen). der hatte auf der stereogum-ok-computer-coverei karma police gesungen und ich mochte das und machte mich kundig. besonders toll: [auf der seite kann man sich an dieser stelle ein audio anhören] john vanderslice - numbered lithograph (vom album emerald city ) der zweite john heißt mit nachnamen frusciante und weil die werte leserschaft über den vermutlich mehr weiß als ich, deshalb nur [...]
Heut hab ich mich richtig geärgert. Nur kurz, denn der Tag war zu schön, um sich lange zu ärgern. Hab ich mich geärgert über den Fluch der frühen Geburt. Ein paar, alsogut, ein paar viele Jährchen später geboren, dann dürfte ich jetzt auch Lehrer bewerten. Aber - zu spät...die Kinners werdens schon richten. Nein, ich mein jetzt nicht, dass es mir Spass machen würde, auf Lehrer

Next week is "all cover songs all the time" on K-VEG, but I'm kicking it off early with one of my favorites. John Frusicante joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the age of 18. They immediately became one of the hugest bands on the planet, and John freaked out and quit. By this time, he was totally strung out (he eventually needed to get skin grafts on his arms and a new set of teeth), and he spent a couple years living as a recluse in his apartment in the Hollywood Hills. He counted [...]
Jackson C. Frank : Milk And Honey [1965] John Frusciante: Dying Song [2003] Off the soundtrack to Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny . Gallo is a genius. A somewhat disturbed genius, but a genius. This soundtrack nearly captures depression as well as the movie does. As far as I know, the soundtrack was only released in Japan, but you can pick one up here at a premium price. Or find some other way to get it, but this soundtrack is definitely worth a listen.
The same procedure as every year - wils, ein ganz wichtiges Ereignis fand gestern abend noch statt: das Spinnennetz testete Thüringer Bratwurst und alkoholfreies Bier - nicht ganz umsonst, aber draussen. Und das im illustren Umfeld von heimlichen, lokalen Rockgrössen und unheimlichen sonstigen Verdächtigen, auf dem Zelt für frei. Einen ausführlichen Bericht erspare ich mir an dieser Stelle in
(the lovely St. Vincent performing at the Bowery Ballroom) St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) just played the Bowery Ballroom this past weekend. I was familiar with a handful of her songs (and if you read this regularly, you probably are as well), but I had never seen her perform. Wow. Up on stage she is this delicate nervous girl, but once she starts singing the whole audience is swooped up and held rapt in her palm. It was pretty amazing to see such a rich, sincere, beautiful performance. It was also wonderful to [...]
Though most know John Frusciante from his guitar and backup vocal work with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (from 1989's "Mother's Milk to the present), as an artist his scope extends far beyond. He began his solo career in 1992 when he left RHCP for six years (during which the band made what is widely considered their worst album, 1996's "One Hot Minute" with Dave Navarro in his stead). Since then, he has released ten solo albums, several collaborations, and has worked with artists from Johnny Cash and Ziggy Marley to the Mars Volta's Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Deep Purple's Glenn [...]
[ Photo Credit ] While the chances of seeing Jon Theodore drum for The Mars Volta when we catch them at Pepsi Arena opening for the Peppers in Albany (?!?!) are slim to none, the chances of catching some Chili Peppers deep tracks are very, very good . Here's how they brought it at Earl's Court on July 14th of this year. I am not going to lie, I need to have an Omar appearance, preferably during "Especially In Michigan" or (longshot) a John Frusciante solo track... [...]
What could be a better tribute to the Fourth Of July then some Ramones covers. Today was a good day, Shuttle Discovery took off successfully (and the launch was a beautiful view here in Florida) and the fireworks were awesome. The whole neighborhood is crackling with fireworks as I type this, a truly nice sound that comes once a year. Happy B'Day to the U.S.A.! What can I say about the Ramones that hasn't been said before. True punk rock n' roll legends and one of my all time favorite bands. Joey Ramone is up in the Big [...]
John Frusciante , best known as the lead guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a busy, busy man. With countless solo recordings (2004 alone saw the release of six solo albums), side-projects and his work in the Chili Peppers, it's hard to believe that he would have time to collaborate with Vincent Gallo on the soundtrack to Gallo's 2003 movie, The Brown Bunny. Apparently all Frusciante has is time; he provided some wrenching guitar rock to a boring movie that no one really cared to see (well, aside from the infamous Chloe Sevigny blowjob scene). Too [...]
