Desecration Smile is single of the week…+ info on how to get it
According to Daily Record, Desecration Smile is the single of the week. ONE of the highlights of Stadium Arcadium, this, despite the title, is a bright, almost hippyish ballad in the style of Under The Bridge. Fresh from winning four Grammys, including Best Rock album, it again proves that they and fellow Eighties survivors U2 are the foundations of modern rock. This song stands out because of singer Anthony Kiedis’s high vocals in the early verses but as ever becomes epic with the guitar playing of John Frusciante. Now, how to get the single? Part one, featuring Joe as bonus track. Part two, featuring Funky Monks (live) and Save This…

Unfortunately, Red Hot Chili Peppers did not win an award for the best international group at this year’s Brit Awards, it went to the Killers, but they performed Dani California on stage at the Earl’s Court and John was great once again (seriously, is he ever not great?), so it comes around as some sort of comfort.

RHCP not in Belgrade, but in Inđija?!
According to 24 Äasa, VeÄernje novosti and MTS Mondo, as well as some of our sources in local media and some fairies and elves, Red Hot Chili Peppers are definitely going to play in southeastern Europe for the first time in their 22-year-long career…and what’s even better, they’ll be playing here in Serbia! However, surprisingly, the venue will most likely be an open field close to the small town of InÄ‘ija, 40-ish km north-western from Belgrade [the capital/I-M.net headquarters :p]. Here’s the translation of the news published in all the mentioned media during the last couple of days, translated by yours truly. The greatest American rock band at the moment,…
