A snippet from Record Collection
Releasing 6 records in 6 months has been an insane amount of work but well worth it. RC feels lucky to be the first label that we know of to release this much work from a single artist in such a short time frame. We were all very big Frusciante fans before he joined our team and every record he turns in makes it that much better. All of John’s albums will continue to be released on vinyl as well as CD and don’t be suprised if there are a few more things up our sleeve for 2005. (thanks to Kim, this was a response to her post on RC…

One more tiny bit of John in Magnet Magazine
Thanks to Kim (poppy_girl) from Ramparts forum John gets a mention elsewhere in the magazine. One of the features is called “Static Mix” where people put together a mixed tape of 10 songs. In the Fru Edition it is done by Badly Drawn Boy and one of his 10 tracks is a John on. Here is what Badly Drawn Boy had to say: John Frusciante: “The Days Have Turned”. I heard this track on BBC Radio One, and I thought it was a Cat Stevens song I hadn’t heard before. When he started with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he seemed like an impressionable kid, really young and vibrant, then…

On new releases….
Thanks to morkmango from Ramparts forum for this:) It’s from Amplifier magazine which I haven’t got my hands on yet. In addition to The Will to Death, AW, DC EP and Inside of Emptiness, Frusciante’s release schedule includes a collaboration with Klinghoffer (under both of their names) and, finally, an acoustic solo piece, all of which will street before year’s end. Each of the projects was recorded in various professional studios, except for the acoustic album, which Frusciante crafted in his home studio on an ancient piece of equipment. “It was recorded on this Ampex 8-track machine from like 1970, which is the same machine that King Crimson recorded In…

Q Magazine…
John nominated Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (Led Zep) as one of the greatest songwriters of all time in the latest edition of Q Magazine. Here’s what John said… “To me, the songs that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have given us are more like communications for the gods than songs written by human beings. The richness and depth in their music is endless.” Thanks to Universally Speaking for this 🙂
