Photos from the Swahili Blonde album release party
We’ve seen the first as-it-happens impressions from the Swahili Blonde album release party this morning, thanks for the wonders of the new media and its “channels”; now it’s the time for more fine-polished stuff, which will be posted as they keep on arriving. If you have photographs of your own, please do send them over. Invisible Movement will never claim your photos as its own and if you’re an owner of another website, they will go online with your own watermark/no watermark (whatever is the way you prefer them). At the same time, this website reserves the right not to publish anything that I feel would be too intrusive/invasive. Thank…

John on stage with Swahili Blonde. Details to follow. [updated]
Apparently, the 22+ months of not having had the pleasure to hear and see John live are over. According to numerous reports on Twitter, he has taken the stage with Swahili Blonde for the instrumental track, Dr. Teeth. Some of us are apparently physics so they woke at the right moment to publish it here-as-it-happens. The others should probably not freak out about that and enjoy it. ^_^ Grimy Goods, who have previously given away tickets for this event, report: Frusciante hits the stage with Swahili Blonde finally. You can hear it! But everyone is still very confused. Swahili Blonde! Where’s Frusciante? It’s dark back here but dude does not…

K’Naan: John Frusciante is just incredible
Somali-Canadian musician and poet K’naan was featured in The Independent’s section “My Fantasy Band”. He picked John as his fantasy band’s guitar player and here is why. He’s the guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers and I think he’s just incredible. His melodics are always great and I like how his sustain pedal always creates a little bit more of an extended dream. I don’t remember hearing anything I didn’t like from him. The rest of K’Naan’s band would be the late Nina Simone and Fela Kuti, as well as two living musicians – Idris Muhammed and Markéta Irglová. You should read the entire article to see why. Even though…

Invisible-Movement.net’s donation & suggestion rally 2010
HEY, EVERYONE, IT’S AN OPEN MIC NIGHT! Sorry to disappoint you, but you are not going to get a chance to sing. More likely, to give some ideas and donate some money. What will the money be used for? As usual, site’s hosting costs and message board hosting, as they’re not hosted on the same server, yet they’re both resource hogs. Any funds that exceed the required amount will be used for random giveaways, to pay the material/commute costs for people who’d film events, if any events come up and similar site-related things. You can donate in a currency of your choice, but remember the difference. Donators of the past…

Here, Air now available as a free download on John’s blog!
First of all, I am sorry for a long, long time of the site being MIA (it was in a not-so-nice place called piÄka materina, to be precise). Basically, it was not deleted, it was disabled due to server problems. The site might have to be relocated in near future, as this is getting frustrating and comes in the worst possible moments. Here, Air; the 13th song off The Empyrean is now 100% free for everyone! You can download it on John’s official blog or below. You will have to submit a valid email address (and spell it correctly) and a link will be sent to your email inbox. Make…

Sepulcros De Miel by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quartet (featuring John) is out
I did not want to write about this earlier, especially after having seen what kind of rude questions some people asked to the label, claiming that they cannot wait et cetera. But it’s not like the wait was long, as the second album of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez collaborating with John, this time in the form of the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez quartet was out a couple of minutes ago. It’s called Sepulcros De Miel (Tombs Of Honey) and paying for it is, once again, optional. The quartet consists of Juan Alderete De La Peña, Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, John Frusciante and Omar Rodriguez Lopez. You can get the album in a variety of bitrates…

Gibson.com Top 50 Guitarists of All Time – John came in 42nd
Here’s one more proof that all possible polls are a matter of taste and it’s also meant to make both extreme sides relax: those who are crazy when someone doesn’t win because they’re much better and those who are crazy when someone wins because they don’t like something they endorsed to be liked by masses. Gibson, legendary guitar makers, have organised a poll titled Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time. Just like most of the time when “all time” is concerned, Jimi Hendrix topped the list, followed by Jimmy Page. However, the rest of the list differs a lot from, for example, Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Guitarists Of All Time…
