Happy 38th birthday to John!
As the most of people visiting this (a) corner of the cyberspace, today is John’s birthday and he’s thirty-eight years old. Though there’s, like, 1% probability he’d ever read this; warm greetings from me and everyone in the Invisible Movement community! If you want to wish John a happy birthday, there’s a thread on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ official message board. Click here!. They also have a news item for it. You can also join the little party we’re having on the Invisible Movement boards, click here. ♥ Love above everything! ♥

EMI to re-release the first four RHCP albums (again!?)
(Many thanks to Lauren for the heads up!) According to AlbumVote, EMI is, oops, doing it again. Red Hot Chili Peppers are to have their first four studio albums re-mastered, re-packaged and re-released on March 24 2008. 1984’s self-titled debut will have five extra tracks, 1985’s Freaky Styley will have four extra tracks and there will be an extra two tracks included on 1987’s The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. 1989’s Mother’s Milk will come with an extra 6 tracks. According to some other sources, this might be a mixup with the news from 2003, so it’s not 100% sure.

Donation Rally 2008 is on!
The search for volunteer is now over, so, if you received the previous update on this together with this one, feel free to discard it. There have been three candidates who have applied to help with gathering donations and I’m more than thankful to them. However, as a friend is gathering donations for his own website (many things from which end up on Invisible Movement as well), I thought it would be the best choice. So, click this button to donate money for the next fourteen months of Invisible-Movement.net’s hosting. The goal is aproxx. 100 Euros / 150 $ / 76 GBP and, IF more than needed is gathered eventually,…

Eastern Rim out soon
The story about Chad’s DVD, Eastern Rim, was definitely not a rumour. The piece, which is very relevant to John appreciators as it contains footage of the amazing jam held on on 11th April last year in Melbourne will be available on DVD from 10th March on. Performances: In addition to rare, behind-the-scenes views of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, this DVD captures an explosive 30-minute improv live from Federation Square in Melbourne. Chad and his band mates surprise the crowd by turning a scheduled drum clinic into a full-fledged jam! To read more and order the DVD, click here. *Thanks to Jason for heads up!

Invisible Movement needs your help (again, unfortunately!)
OK, this one is serious. And rather urgent. Invisible Movement needs help to stay on its feet for the second time. For those of you who were not following this website in November 2006 and for those of you who don’t remember it, back in the days the old hosting company kicked I-M.net out of its server because of “using up too much of the system resources” and, thanks to an amazing person, who partly made this site what it is and who is and always will be the most wonderful human on Earth, no matter where she is and what she is doing right now, who agreed to accept…

Site updates, 26th February 2008
The week behind us leaves its mark by an one-day-hiatus on Friday (there were two reasons for it and you can read about one of them here, just so you’d know it wasn’t some stupid thing!); BUT also an extra large update in the live photography gallery, including three photos from Mother’s Milk era, something from 2003 and some from 2006 and 2007. I can also assure you that there will be more next week. Also, the gigography section is temporarily offline, as it’s being rebuilt. If you have been to any of John’s solo shows in 2001, performances in 2004, shows with Thelonious Monster in 1997, ATP Festival or…

One more blurb on RHCP’s hibernation/hiatus
As Contact Music reported, here’s one more thing Chad Smith said regarding the current RHCP hiatus and, well, it’s up to you to count when they will be coming back to work. “We took a look at each other in September (07) and we were like, ‘You know what? I love you guys, but we all kind of need a break,’ and we all said, ‘Let’s reconvene in one year.'”
