Invisible-Movement.net is on MySpace
I have (finally) made a page for Invisible-Movement.net on MySpace. Here it is, add it to your friends. And don’t worry, it won’t be one of the pages cluttering your bulletin board and friends’ updates section ten thousand times a day. Currently, I’m in the process of looking for a band whose music will be on I-M.net’s MySpace as a default profile song during February 2008. It’s first come, first serve so…drop me a line over there or here. Oh yes, and, for now, those who have been featured on the site playlist aren’t eligible for this; but they will be in future.

Site updates, 27th January 2008
As you might have noticed, there was no playlist update on Wednesday. I decided to keep this one for one more week and focus on re-uploading some important stuff. But don’t worry, there will be a new playlist on 30th January and, for now, here’s quite a large update, containing some material from the Johnny Ramone tribute, with a very nice John interview…oh yes, that one will be on the playlist on Wednesday as well, for those people who are not so keen on downloading. A brief list of updates is below. For the details and links, there’s the “continue reading†link. Forum and fanlisting milestones One more language in…

If you live in St. Louis in USA, don’t miss this
If you live in St. Louis in USA, do not miss to check out Todd Owyoung’s concert photography at the Suite 100; it will be up until February 10th. As it was said in St. Louis Today, among the bands Owyoung photographed here are the Police, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Strokes, Polyphonic Spree, the Sounds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modern Day Zero, Tony Bennett and Common. A confetti-strewn photo of Polyphonic Spree’s Tim DeLaughter is particularly arresting, as are images of Eagles of Death Metal’s Dave Catching and Fabrizio Moretti of the Strokes. To read the whole article about the exhibition, click here. To see Todd’s photos from the…

Vote for John!
NME is choosing the greatest guitarists ever. Go to this page to vote. They will be rotating photos of guitarists and letting you grade them on the scale from 1 to 10. At some point, a photo of John from early 2003 comes up and you can rate him as well. You can check the current standings after each vote, on the list shown below the rating panel. Let’s at least make sure John is in top five! The rivals are tough.

Invisible Movement’s GLOBAL action finally goes live!
After 3 months of preparations, Invisible Movement’s GLOBAL action has been through its first phase and yes, now it is online! Since there were problems reaching some translators, the action is open for whomever still wants to participate. Do not apply for Slovenian, Catalan, Persian, Estonian and Ukrainian, as translators for those languages have been found. First of all, I would like to thank my friends Milica Radojlović and Rodrigo Mondragon Chaves for the amazing idea. Rodrigo was talking about translating John’s songs ever since early this year and Milica came up with how interesting would be to translate this particular song in September and that is how the GLOBAL…

Yet another pop diva joke
Jane O’Donnell of The Monitor is wondering which other people born in Queens could help a fellow Queens-born pop diva and actress Lindsay Lohan…funny enough, John is one of those five and the reason is pretty funny, not as serious as the be-a-role-model-to-Britney thing from a couple of weeks ago. 3. Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante: Mr. California spent his earliest years in Astoria, you know. And check out the names of the work he’s put out solo. Wow. Get him on board for an album title at the very least. (Nobody’s Angel is a snooze, and you know it.) Read the whole article here.

Yet another John fan – Adrien Brody
The Oscar-winning actor, Adrien Brody, spoke about his life, experiences and style for UK newspaper Daily Mail. Naturally, as someone who played the headline role in The Pianist, he also loves music and his taste is indeed classy! For The Pianist, he didn’t have to fake his love of music. “I grew up in New York very influenced by hip-hop music but I have a pretty broad taste. I love jazz and reggae.” “Recently I’ve been listening to John Frusciante [from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers] who has some solo albums that I admire, and I have Public Enemy’s new album in my CD player right now.” If you’re interested…

A strange comparison indeed
Of course it has crossed some people’s minds that Britney Spears’ story has a wee bit in common with what John went through (just with glamour, family matters and way too many headlines added to that…), but it is a bit strange to mention John in an article about ms. Spears. However, yes, that happens sometimes… That’s not to say that she’s bored with fame or with trendy night clubs or with surrounding herself with bad influences. Or that she’s going to go the John Frusciante route and give up all her vices to focus exclusively on her art. Well, of course she won’t. It takes one in six billion…

Invisible Movement’s GLOBAL action. You can participate, too!
