A mention of John in an article
The Sunday Times published an article about members of famous bands going solo. Of course, there’s a mention of John. A more recent example of solo albums keeping a big band on an even keel has been the career of John Frusciante, guitarist with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Frusciante’s ability to conjure melodic riffs is a vital element of the Chili Peppers’ stadium-conquering sound, but only a tiny part of what Frusciante wants to do. Fortunately, the man’s obsessive need to make music can be catered for through the simple act of releasing solo albums (astonishingly, he once released five in one year). Of course, not five…seven.

Site updates, 16th July 2006
I am sorry for the lack of “real” updates this month, I do hope this big update will make up for everything, or at least the most of it. At some points this week I almost didn’t feel like living… but here it is, an update. The previously non-working link to the Fuse interview [alternate angle] is working now. If any other clip is leading you to an error page or downloading an error page (something like 404.php), please do tell me so and I shall fix the problem. It also appears I have never linked the uploaded intro from the 31st May RHCP show in Barcelona. Apologises to NY…
