Attention – pirates from EBay strike again
As we all know (even us who don’t actually use EBay), there are people with lack of moral who actually sell concerts and even internet albums with their own cover art.

Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at one more US democrats’ convention, this time in Santa Monica last night. Here’s the snippet of the article from Daily Bruin: A mini-demographic shift then took place as the sound of Flea’s bass guitar drove some of the audience’s older members away and brought the younger members toward the stage.

Esquire House benefit
Beverly Hills rocked Thursday night as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Perry Farrell played a backyard party at Esquire House to raise funds for both the Autism Coalition and Surfers Healing, a non-profit that teaches autistic children to surf. Surfers Healing founders Danielle and Israel Paskowitz had brought out the star power. “I’m a dear friend of the Paskowitz family, and a surfer from way back,” Farrell said before spinning a set as his alterego, DJ Peretz. Farrell also performed two Jane’s Addiction songs, “My Time” with Flea and John Frusciante, and “Oceanside” with Flea and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt.
