• Saturday question #5: Cover songs

    Welcome to the fifth edition of Saturday question, split in three pieces. This has been a busy week on Invisible Movement and I assume everyone will take some rest this weekend. I do hope that everyone who felt like it donated to the site. A couple more smaller donations will lead to paying both hosting bills. I also hope that all of you have enjoyed the birthday suns. So, we all know amazing cover songs John did, like this one: [media id=124] (Forming II – originally by Germs) This Saturday’s question is: what are your favourites amongst them? Feel free to post links to them, too. Also, what are your…

  • News on Bob And The Monster + the documentary’s director needs your help!

    As reported a little more than six months ago; John – as well as Anthony Kiedis and Flea – will be appearing in a documentary film about Bob Forrest, titled Bob And The Monster. Even though it is not stated in the more revent news items, Keirda Bahruth, the director of this upcoming effort, was so kind to confirm that John will indeed be in the movie and that there was no change of plans. A couple of days ago, a call for fans who might have some original material has been posted on Myspace. “Bob and the Monster”, the documentary film about Bob Forrest, is currently filming and set…

  • Happy birthday to John! I-M.net / YFIGTASOF.net project is no longer secret…

    First and obvious, John is 39 years old today – HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now, the time has come to reveal the Super-Secret Project 2009. As some people might’ve guessed, it was meant to be released today. On 23rd January, while sitting and reading a piece of text that couldn’t have been any simpler, yet more goosebumps-worthy; I came up with a very strange idea for a comic, featuring a stickman and a sun balloon. I drew it and showed it to a couple of people. And they liked it. A couple of days later, by a total coincidence, the sun appeared in a context very similar to the one in the…

  • Guitar Player, April 2009 issue – scanned and typed out

    In some countries, they’re celebrating Hinamatsuri today; in some others, they only remember the inventor of telephone as he was born on 03.03, too. On Invisible-Movement.net, we’re embracing the power fo more modern means of communication and the beauty of new media… …in other words, John is featured in yet another magazine that’s out. It’s Guitar Player, April 2009 issue. Many thanks to Gizem who, once again, spotted this and sent the scans by the speed of light.

  • Updated link to Way Down & an interview with its director

    Since the video posted two days ago was apparently on YouTube without Squeak E. Clean Productions’ permission; it was removed and the staff of Boing Boing have uploaded a new version of it at this address. There’s an interview with its director, Syd Garon. I’m posting a small excerpt here, go to the site to see it. Xeni Jardin: Syd, can you tell us about what we’re seeing here — the story this video tells? How did you develop this visual narrative, in relation to the message of the song (about a woman who falls in love with the Devil?) Syd Garon: Sage was painting these warring gangs of Blue…

  • Invisible Movement + YFIGTASOF donation rally 2009 is on!

    As the longer-term visitors to this website and its forum probably remember well; Invisible Movement had to move servers in November 2006, in a very delicate moment. A bunch of people donated for the new hosting account. For a variety of reasons, I have decided to fund this website by visitors’ donations once more in March last year; and since it’s gained a lot of popularity in the meantime (e.g. 400% increase in audience), it’s getting harder to maintain and the server costs have doubled when the forum was moved to a different server in order to put an end to the downtimes. I enjoy maintaining the website and, in…

  • Popboks.com review of The Empyrean

    While a whole archive of The Empyrean reviews is being built, translated and laid out, I couldn’t resist showing you this one! What a pleasant surprise: a fellow Serbian website, Popboks, has reviewed The Empyrean. If you’re from around these depths, you can read it here; if not, I have translated it for you. The album got 8 out of 10 stars, the reviews was written by Goran Tarlać. Thanks to Bojana for the heads-up! _________________ On a road from a broken junkie, through the rehab survivor of the Peppers family, to a hyperproductive author he is now, this respected guitarist releases his best solo effort. John Frusciante is still…

  • February 2009 roundup

    One more great month has gone by. This one was short so there might not have been as much news as it was the case in the “rocket-charged” January. As the visitors of this website and other similar communities all around the world continued discovering The Empyren; this month was marked by, sadly, no new posts on John’s blog (for everyone who asked: honestly, I can’t give you any information, as I’ve got no clue about it). On the other side, a great movie and a great collaboration saw the light of the day: Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke’s documentary The Heart Is A Drum Machine was premiered in Phoenix…

  • Saturday question #4: Pick four!

    Welcome to the fourth edition of Saturday questions! Four is an interesting number, isn’t it? It’s the fourth week of the month that is exactly four weeks or one lunar cycle long, so let’s make it a …four. You know, not three, not five, “four”. Three weeks ago, we discussed our ideas for music videos. Two weeks ago we discussed animals and music. Last week we discussed genres in music. You’re still welcome to contribute to all of those topics. For the end of the shortest month of the year and its last Saturday, I’m leaving you with a rather broad question, so we can pretend the February is much…
