John Frusciante unofficial – Invisible Movement

Though we got no confirmation for this (and believe us, we tried to seek one), it seems more than legit and some people received their copies already. So, if you have not acquired Niandra LaDes And Usually Just A T-Shirt yet for whatever reason or are completely new to John’s opus and would like to check it out, this is your chance.

After a long wait, the partly crowd-funded documentary on Bob Forrest, featuring John and many others is getting its DVD release in USA. More information coming soon…until then, watch the clips posted exclusively on this website two years ago.

After a longish wait, the scans of the Vintage Guitar article on John from this month’s issue are online. This article is a good insight on his playing as a lead guitarist in a rock band, with some essential recommended listens and a quick overlook of his influences and gear most commonly used. So, it might benefit everybody who’s new to John’s work with RHCP.

John just blogged, for the second time in 2013, sharing a song he’d just recorded for his friend Wayne Forman, who sadly passed away before having a chance to hear it. You can download the 102 Mb file from his official website and. while you’re at it, read John’s memories of Wayne.

Justin Borucki is selling limited-edition prints of his photos of musicians, including a nice one of John. A portion of the of proceeds from the 8.5 x 11 print will benefit relief organizations serving the people and communities affected by Hurricane Sandy. All prints are hand-numbered and signed by the photographer.

For all of you who liked the 2012 photo session for PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone and Letur-Lefr and generally are into photos, whether for the sake of art or something else; you might be pleased to know that Mike Piscitelli has a bunch of photos of John from that session uploaded to his website…

A mother of three children with three albums behind her already and a Neurotic Yell Records signee, Amanda Jo Williams is releasing her fourth album, You Are The Father Of My Songs, next month and for now, you can hear 40-second-samples. John is playing piano and organ; pre-orders are open.

This might be a lame piece of text, as it’s the 9th time it’s being written here – sorry for lack of originality, make sure you respect and love the person who brought us all together and who graces our lives with his beautiful and edgy music! Happy birthday, John!
