Site updates – 21st April 2009
It’s been a couple of weeks since the last regular update. I’m sorry to you all, I was really busy with work and one of my closest family members suffered a strong heart stroke and…in a situation like this, it’s a miracle that the site was actually updated during the last three weeks. To everyone whom I still owe a response: patience, you’ll get it. On this particular occasion, I’m really glad to announce that the board has passed another milestone and that there are more than 3000 registered users now. And the Twitter account has more than 100 followers now. It’s nice to see that there are so many…

Saturday question #11: Duets!
Welcome to the 11th edition of Saturday questions. After last week’s excursion into “what if”; we’re back to music this time.

More news on the new TMV album, Octahedron
As reported by Pitchfork in their yesterday’s news item; The Mars Volta’s new album, Octahedron, will (how surprisingly) contain of eight songs. The Pitchfork staff member was somewhat humorous about the album’s personell. On the album, the core Mars Volta duo of guitarist/sound wizard Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala are joined once again by multi-instrumentalist Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, drummer Thomas Pridgen, keyboardist Isaiah “Ikey” Owens, bassist Juan Alderete de la Peña, and guitarist John Frusciante (who is also in some other band, apparently? Ice Cold Hot Salts or something?) The track listing should be, as follows: Since We’ve Been Wrong Teflon Halo of Nembutals With Twilight as My Guide Cotopaxi…

Celebrating I-M.net’s 5th nameday and 1 500 000 visitors with videos – Part 2
As said earlier today, 13th February happened to be the fifth anniversary of purchasing this domain name and starting a crash course in frankensteining the mammoths, washing this thing with a toothbrush for babies et cetera. And, to celebrate that occasion and one million and five thousand hundredth visitor to the site sometime today, we’re having a V-day. Video, not things commonly glued to buildings on fire, don’t worry. These two videos are not full clips, each one is 3 minutes long and they’re both from 02nd February 2004, from one of the two Ataxia shows, also known as Performance 3. Due to the memory of cameras in early 2004,…

Celebrating I-M.net’s 5th nameday and 1 500 000 visitors with videos – Part 1
The most of you of you know that Invisible Movement is a Saggitaurus and that it was “born” on 24th November 2004. However, the domain was registered more than seven months before that, as a project of this size required careful preparation. So, I like to say that it was conceived on 13th April 2004, thus making 13th April its nameday. I won’t bother you with the story behind it, as it involves a human, two different trees, tram number two and a McToast; but if you continue reading this, you’re in for a surprise. One day later in some timezones, yes, because my ISP was refusing to cooperate during…

Saturday question #10: Undo…what?
Welcome to the 10th edition of Saturday questions. So, last week’s question was the most successful so far. This week, we’re taking a break from music and we’ll be a bit more unrealistic. Why? And why not? According to previous weeks’ statistics, people do enjoy these as well, given the matters discussed on the forum and in music people might listen. You can undo one thing in history – may it be the recent history, something centuries ago, something global or something that’s known only to you. What would you undo?

The Grape Jam claim that John predicted their formation
Many thanks to Dolfina of RHCP Universe for this unusual news. In their interview for Nuevo.net, The Grape Jam claim that John predicted their formation. Here’s the article bit mentioning that and you should definitely check out their music. The band’s Chili Pepper-esque style has much to do with the direct influence that comes with repeated listening (Sipes referred to the Chili Peppers’ Live at Slane Castle as The Bible on DVD). But Burns believes that Chili Pepper guitarist John Frusciante predicted the band’s formation through some prophetic words. “I read an interview when I was a sophomore in high school with John Frusciante, right after Blood Sugar Sex Magik,…

Tape Op on Adam Samuels’ work with John on The Empyrean
The newest issue of Tape Op magazine – the picture of which is to your left – features a short addendum to the interview with John published in the September/October 2007 issue as well as an addendum to the Ryan Hewitt interview from the same issue. It was written by John Baccigaluppi once again, and it answers many questions, regarding mastering and Adam Samuels’ involvement in mixing of The Empyrean. Mr. Baccigaluppi appears to like the album more than any others that John’s published before. You can order Tape Op from their website, there are free and paid subscriptions available and the whole article has been typed out, for your…
