Happy New Year 2009 to I-M.net readers!
Dear visitors of Invisible Movement, I would like to wish you all the best in the coming year. As you know, this website gathers people from all around the world, and we don’t always celebrate the same holidays. However, there’s one thing we really all know: the New Year begins tonight everywhere in the world, in a timespan of 24 hours. I hope 2009 will bring you everything you want it to bring you, as long as it isn’t physically or mentally harmful to you or people around you. I would like to ask you to take fifteen minutes to do something different. Instead of focusing on things that are…

By request: all links for The Empyrean in one place
As a large amount of people asked for this, I have compiled a list of links with websites where you can acquire The Empyrean, as LP, CD or Japanese version of the CD. If anyone else has a link to share and thinks their link could help out someone who doesn’t know where to order the album from, do share.

Site updates – 28th December 2008
This is the first half of the last content update in 2008, unless one of the five countries with the right to put veto on a decision in UN decides to delay the start of 2009 until its beginning in the Julian or Chinese calendar. So, yup, such probability comes down to 0,0044 %. The second part of this massive update might come tomorrow. If you’ve ever been stuck in end-of-the-year reviews, you might know how it feels like. More lyrics not transcribed before Some corrections in the discography section A page for visual art More scans from Me And My Friends Off The Map screencaps Orphaned magazine scans from…

MusicRadar to publish the podcast in 2009 + more
For everyone who got upset about Music Radar’s interview page being a 404: it’s still there and you should read it carefully. In short, they have contacted John and the answers to selected questions will be posted on their website early in 2009. Also, in their own Christmas wishlists, one of the staff members,Michael Leonard, wrote: A Gretsch White Falcon – what Santa would play? Whiter than Santa’s beard and blingier than P Diddy’s Christmas tree, the White Falcon is one of those grandly-desirable instruments that only the likes of John Frusciante get to play. I’ll never likely own one – there are more sane ways to spend £2300 –…

Warner Bros’ videos are being pulled off YouTube
Warner Bros are mass-pulling music videos off YouTube since Saturday (20th December). Reportedly, their negotiations with Google, who own YouTube fell apart and there’s nothing else in sight apart from this rather radical solution. Unfortunately, this includes RHCP videos. Warner Music Group ordered YouTube on Saturday to remove all music videos by its artists from the popular online video-sharing site after contract negotiations broke down. The order could affect hundreds of thousands of videos clips, as it covers Warner Music’s recorded artists as well as the rights for songs published by its Warner/Chappell unit, which includes many artists not signed to Warner Music record labels. Warner Music, home to artists…

Mike Piscitelli talks about “The Past Recedes” + new photo
Director/photographer Mike Piscitelli[1] talks about making of John’s The Past Recedes video on his blog. He also posted a high-resolution video on Vimeo, given that all the YouTube ones are of “crappy quality” and you can see it here; alongside an anecdote from the set. There’s a new photo by BLUR PHOTO from the last month’s session for The Empyrean and it’s available on the site of Japanese Rush productions website. Click on the thumbnail to go there and see it in its full size. A reminder: you can also order the 12-track version of the album in SHM-CD format on that website. The Q & A on MusicRadar is…

Site updates – 21st December 2008
Once again, I’m sorry for the delay regarding the “regular” updates. A bunch of things were happening the last couple of weeks. All I ask of you is not to push when you see that the updates of this kind are not happening for a while. There usually is a good reason for that, or a couple of good reasons. Someone or something might have gotten crippled, someone or something might have died, something could have been broken and in need of a repair…or, why not, all those things at once; which was the case now. So, do enjoy the updates. And horribly overdue music features will be added within…
