Saturday question #9: Make your own supergroup ™!
Welcome to the 9th edition of Saturday questions. Last week, you were curating a dream festival. This week, we’re making a supergroup. You can, of course, have as many members as you like in it, as long as each one of them actually has a purpose in the band. So, who would be in the supergroup if you were one of the members or its manager? For previous Saturday questions, click here

Invisible-Movement.net page on Facebook
For some odd reason, likely a site bug, Facebook deleted Invisible Movement page and there’s no way to restore it, nor they’re doing anything other than sending generic emails to people when things like this happen. So, Invisible Movement has a brand new Facebook page, which you can reach by clicking here. Please, become a fan of it (again). Also, for everyone who doesn’t know it, this website is on Myspace, Last.fm and Twitter, too; and my wonderful friend Mira has created an Invisible Movement fanlisting.

The other three Peppers to appear at a MusicaRes benefit, Anthony Kiedis to be honoured.
I generally did not want to post this news because I just know some of the comments will be quite bizzare and adding oil to the pan is a concept common to mass media and people who think the news of the day is when some famous girl’s bikini top slips for 1 cm…so, this news was posted due to peer pressure from all sides of the world. I kind of don’t care what you’ll write in comments; but if you’re looking for 1992, it’s 17 years ago. And some of the things people say will be more bizzare than this paragraph. So…as per Broadway World: The fifth annual MusiCares(r)…

March 2009 roundup
‘Allo, ‘allo! March 2009 was over and done with yestersday; so it’s the time to round it up. This month would’ve been quiet if there wasn’t for everyone’s contributions that actually made many things more interesting. Of course, given that there’s always silence before the storm, April and May will probably be a blast. So, the highlights of March 2009 were simply – YOU. The highlights of this month would have to be everyone’s participation in the site’s third donation rally. I don’t know if you guys want to be mentioned by your names; but there was quite a few donators and despite the recession going on all around the…

Die Shellsuit, Die! review The Empyrean and give it 10 out of 10
James Davidson of the UK-based e-zine Die, Shellsuit, Die! has reviewed The Empyrean and he gave it 10 out of 10. He passed the review to Record Collection Music who have then passed it to Invisible Movement; so here’s an excerpt. “God†starts as dream pop along the lines of French Electro Pop duo Air or ex-Sneaker Pimp Kelli Ali, but the track soon kicks into a brooding rhythm of kick drum and electric piano leading into a maelstrom of synth and digital processors, the star ship sail boat going into hyperspace, edging out on gentle violin. “Dark/Light†carries on where the previous track left off with Frusciante’s voice searing…

Snow ((Hey Oh)) > Halo ((All I Play Oh))
Fans of the computer game Halo have spoofed Snow ((Hey Oh)) in a way that probably makes more sense to someone who’s played the game; but it still is an amusing thing to start the week with. [flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFmtr5SnsWE] If you’re interested, you can read an article about this.

The Mars Volta’s Octahedron out on 19th June?!
As reported on The Comatorium blog as well as Berlinista.com; an official announcement is expected in near future regarding The Mars Volta’s new album, Octahedron. Once again, the album will be produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. The provisoral release date would be 19th June. And, from this segment taken out of the Mike Watt’s The Watt From Pedro podcast, John’s very likely involved in this: Mike Watt: Like, uh, Omar… John Frusciante: Mmhmm. Mike Watt:..had you be a guitar player for him. John Frusciante: Yeah, I’ve played on all their albums, except their first EP. I just did another one in August. Mike Watt: Does he play on it? I mean,…

Woodstock co-founder Michael Lang is seeking sponsors for 40th anniversary concert
According to numerous media who have reported this during the last couple of days, Michael Lang, the co-founder of the legendary plans for a 40th anniversary Woodstock concert are “all speculative ideas” for now, but he hopes to bring them to reality this summer. He’s very ambitious, as he wants an environment-friendly festival, with as little carbon emission as possible. At the same time, he would not charge admission to the event and therefore he’s seeking sponsors. Here’s what else he told Billboard and how they commented on his idea – without stating any of the recent rumours, only reflecting on 1999. Lang said that musically a 2009 Woodstock would…

Manic Street Preachers are recommending The Empyrean!
On the front page of their website, British rockers Manic Street Preachers are listing the things they’ve been into these days, with the heading Manic Street Preachers have been loving. One of the things they’ve been loving is The Empyrean. Not so surprising, given that James Dean Bradfield’s answer to NME’s question on what were the best things to have happened in 1998 was simply: “John Frusciante rejoining the Chili Peppers”. Many thanks to Tom and Mark for the heads-up and the reminder. ^_^ And don’t forget to check the Manics’ blog, they seem to be really nice people; plus their music is great.
