Goodbye John

Räusche — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:36:16 +0000

It’s official. John Frusciante has quit the Chili Peppers.

The band went on an indefinite hiatus a year ago, but John has issued a statement on his website saying that he’s moving on for good.

To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.

It’s understood that there’s no bad vibes amongst the band though. Everyone is kinda doing their own thing. Flea’s worked with Thom Yorke and Patti Smith, Chad’s got the Bombastic Meatbats and Chickenfoot, and Anthony is working on a series based on Scar Tissue.

It’s a sad day, but I still look forward to what these dudes bring in the future. Maybe we can expect a Chili Pepper reunion 2015… i’ll be there.

Rage Against the Machine is Killing Christmas

Räusche — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:44:09 +0000

Tom Morello is at the forefront of the ’Anti-Ballad’ movement in hopes to have the RATM single ”Killing In the Name” reign as the #1 UK Christmas song charted this year.

His competition: X Factor Champion Joe McElderry’s version of “The Climb”.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Morello said: “I love the independent spirit of the British rock fans. Your country has a great rich history of cutting-edge, exciting rebel music.”

This whole things seems very silly…battling a talent show winner for something so meaningless anyway.

But since you care a lot, my suggestion is that you cover this and strive to make it to the top. Or you can take the same amount of effort and make new Rage songs. Whatever bro.

I Spent Time Off F***ing Around

Ev Turn — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:27:53 +0000

I spent 30 hours in Dallas and came back with only digital documents. I hope you enjoy this as much as my mother did.

I was granted with an all access pass inside Cowboys Stadium and managed to not to ruin it for myself, or my friends. Well, sometimes you just gotta take your food to go and slap some spaghetti on your face, then call it a day.

Don’t even worry, there’s bonus footage (since the 100’s of millions of die hard fans have been asking, you want it you got it, -Toyota®)

You’re not alone, I know of many people that would kill to kill me. Thank you for taking time out to waste your life on this post. More to come, and I’m not just saying that, I do it for the children.

Go Ahead, Take a Spoonfull

Räusche — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:05:34 +0000

The Hotchocspoon is an absolute game changer for the morning beverage world. Hot chocolate will never be the same.

The idea is simple. Place a spoon in a mould with 50 grams of delicious liquid chocolate. Let the chocolate solidify, remove the chocolate covered spoon from the mould and stir this through hot, full fat milk. Heavenly.

Chocolate addicts be warned.

Young Punks

These little dudes, The Bots, rocked before our set at The Roxy on Friday. Mikaiah (vocals/guitar) is 16 and Anaiah (drums) is 12. It’s good, raw, pure punk music. A lot of fun sharing the stage with them.

Peep their myspace page. Can’t wait to see what they do in the next 5 years.

Thanks for letting me use your distortion pedal, that was clutch.

Original Raw Power

Räusche — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:24:32 +0000

First off, the dude is 62!

It’s crazy to hear this with James Williamson nastily shredding exactly like he did on Raw Power in 1973.

I’m always amazed watching Iggy perform, even if he’s starting to get a little bit of a belly. I still wish I could write a song so good that Henry Rollins would tattoo it on his back.

Nowhere Boy: Lennon Before Lennon

Räusche — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:17:01 +0000

This actually looks like it’s not going to be cheesy. It seems to touch on more of his youth and life before The Beatles took off. You should go read John Lennon: The Life by Phillip Norman before seeing this. It’s definitely a raw look into his life and it’ll be interesting to see how the story translates on film.
