John Frusciante unofficial – Invisible Movement

Didn’t get to order your vinyl reissues of The Empyrean or one of the bundles? Do not despair. More will be available in the first month of next year and, unlike it was the case at first, you can now get them from the European store as well.

There have been rumours regarding this for quite a while and – whatdoyaknow – they were all true. John’s entire catalog with Record Collection Music, which means the albums and EPs from The Will To Death On, is available for pre-order on vinyl. You can get the albums separately, in a bundle, or together with this year’s releases in case you’re still catching up. So…dust off your turntables, audiophiles!

Just like every 14 months, there comes the time for your support. And in the last 14 months we’ve travelled a longer way than ever before; so sparing a dime after a glorious year that it’s been would be like having a toast for the community. Anything is welcome – the board’s hosting has been paid in June, this is for the site, board licence and random competition prices.

RZA’s directoral debut, The Man With The Iron Fists, is hitting the cinemas in United States this Friday. John is featured on two of the songs that can be heard in the film; but they have not been included in the soundtrack. One of them is a previously unreleased solo track, Foregrow; the other is a Wu-Tang number. The film also stars Russel Crowe, Lucy Liu and a couple of martial arts film actors.

In an interview for Australian website Kill Your Stereo that came after an announcement of him touring down there, Omar Rodriguez Lopez was asked about how he met John and he revealed a story according to which he wasn’t even aware of whom the lover of his music and Louis Benoit [sic] films that visited a De Facto club show was. This is sure an interesting read!

The Sound Supply is an exciting new startup offering ten albums at the price of one, periodically. Due to an error in mailbox organisation, we’re a bit late to their fifth “drop” that includes The Empyrean. But if you’re reading this on the day it was published – it’s not late, go and grab the masterpiece if you don’t have it yet and get nine other albums to get to know some new artists!

KRQQ have revealed the results of their last week’s voting for the best guitar player in alternative rock; by posting a top 11; where John is placed second, after Incubus’ Mike Eizinger, who advertised the poll himself a lot. The second round of voting is on and it’s the time to change the order, don’t you think? Let’s get John to the first place and his underrated collaborator somewhere higher!

If you have not heard the new full-length album yet; you might as well pop to JF’s site now and get yourself a copy as the downloads have been released and everything else appears to be in stock. Prepare yourselves for a wild ride, but make sure you aren’t holding onto anything as this should totally carry you away.
