Flea on RHCP rehearsing and his work at Silverlake Conservatory
OK, so, some of you complained about Invisible Movement becoming a website about Chad Smith. Some others claimed there’s too much fan-made contents (I assume you’re not into web 2.0, huh?) and some thought this was getting as stupid as Kunta Kinte at a a Merle Haggard concert. So, here’s a video where Flea confirms that band is rehearsing, it’s at 6:20 and transcribed below the video. [flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-0Lw8b04Q0] Host: People always want to know, what is the latest with the Chili Peppers? Flea: Oh, the Chili Peppers…well, we’ve just had a hiatus, so we took a break and now, we’re, you know, we’re in the room, working on new…

Six paintings by Lorraine Tyler
As you all know, this website is about John Frusciante and his work in Red Hot Chili Peppers, tremendous opus of solo stuff and collaborations. But every now and then, Invisible Movement gladly features super-talented creative professionals and amateurs who found a lot of inspiration for their work in the works of John Frusciante. Two months ago, young French filmmaker/photographer Raphael s presented his music video here. This time, you all get a chance to enjoy the emotional and colourful paintings. Lorraine Tyler of Wanganui, New Zealand; is a talented painter. Her artwork is currently being exhibited in Wellington and amongst the pieces, there are six of John. I stumbled…

Saturday question #37: Your biggest dream
This week’s question will be pretty simple, containing yet another overused word that might have lost its proper meaning, but the concept of “having a dream” mostly remains the same. So… What is your biggest dream? For those who don’t know: Saturday questions are a weekly meme on Invisible Movement where the site visitors get their own say. The questions are of a broad range, some of them are directly connected to the site subject and music, some are wonderfully irrelevant and some are very random. This is just a little way for everyone to interact, especially when it comes to people who don’t visit the forum. For previous Saturday…

Even more minor RHCP insider scoop from mr. Smith on the radio
In last night’s interview, to the central-Florida based Real Radio 104.1’s The Buckethead Show, Chad Smith was mostly talking about the Bombastic Meatbats and Chickenfoot but, given that there’s more and more suspense and curiosity brewing about it; he was, of course, asked a couple of questions about the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well. Here’s a not-so-perfect transcript of the relevant parts of the interview, starting at 08:36. As usual, there might be some blanks to fill, but please do not be perfectionists, as I still have not dug through most of your August, September and October emails, it’s almost physically impossible. Many thanks to the ever so kind…

Saturday question #36: What’s your problem?
This week, we have a guest asker. The question is very broad, so do not make it narrow, as the answers can vary from angry to super-funny and it all depends on you. And if you need help on defining the word, you may start here. Maja asks: What’s your problem? For those who don’t know: Saturday questions are a weekly meme on Invisible Movement where the site visitors get their own say. The questions are of a broad range, some of them are directly connected to the site subject and music, some are wonderfully irrelevant and some are very random.

RHCP are rehearsing indeed, sez Mr. Smith.
This post is brought to you by Invisible Movement and RHCP Universe together, because we split the duties to find what was necessary; and man, we sure had a lot of caffeine as well. On Monday, Chad Smith was interviewed by yet another radio station, Cities97 and you can listen to the interview here or download it by right-clicking and saving as, as some computers have problems with Windows Media streams and it was easy to get the actual link. And Dolfina of RHCP Universe was so kind to transcribe the relevant bits: things regarding RHCP rehearsing and nominations for the RNR Hall of Fame. I hope this little tea…

Random surprise once again – not just because!
So, last month there was a Random Sunday surprise just BECAUSE. This month, on the contrary, there’s a random surprise – not just because. And whatdoyaknow, it’s a 2001 solo show again, as John’s raw, acoustic solo performances are a beautiful thing to watch and listen. This one was held in Amsterdam, at Paradiso, on 08th February 2001. To view all thirty-one videos from this event, head over to the video archive and enjoy. Be happy, if nothing else, I’m sure all of you have someone who makes you smile often, even when they make you frown every now and then. Live, love and don’t let go. Please. ^_^ Want…

Saturday question #35: Love
Since I know everyone’s waiting for the site updates tomorrow and the fans on Facebook were told that they’ll get a surprise on Monday if they don’t mention Monday before Monday…how about I make it hard for you all until Monday because I am mentioning Monday though I don’t care about Monday; yet you’re all waiting for Monday though nothing’s really going to happen for a long while after Monday? So, in order to make everyone remember what really matters (and that is not Monday); this week’s question is REALLY hard. And you should crank your souls and minds to 11 and give it your best. What is love? Define…

The “R” in Friday is for WallpapeRs and Reviews. RrRrReally!
Sticky caps in the title? Six days with no updates? Well, it’s quiet before the storm. Very quiet. All quiet on the western front and Remarque’s no longer alive to see it. All quiet on the eastern front and no one’s ever even written a book about it. All quiet on the north, all quiet on the south, so…I’d better shut my mouth and give you all a gift. This amazing, yet somewhat simplistic wallpaper, was created by Invisible Movement’s long term contributor, Leni, who’s one of the rare people who have been by the site’s side and by my side for almost five years now (and such people are…

Saturday Question #34: Colours
It’s Saturday! And you know what it means, time for another question. As I said last week, everyone’s welcome to suggest a question to ask Invisible Movement’s visitors, by sending me a message as well as a DM or @reply to site’s Twitter as well. This week, it’s diving back into abstract again, though it’s simple. What is/are your favourite colour/colours and why? What do you associate with them and what do they remind you of?
