As seen on The Michigan Journal, an exibition of Annie Leibovitz’s photography called Annie Leibovitz: American Music, organized by the Experience Music Project (EMP) of Seattle, WA, is now at the Detroit Institute of Arts for a limited time. The history of American music is filled with rich stories behind the artists and the songs people around the world have loved; stories of love come and gone, the making of lifelong musical partnerships and the development of such prominent areas of music as jazz, blues, rock and hip hop. Documented through several series of photographs, renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz has captured the essence of American music in a new exhibition…

I am guessing many of you wondered what was actually written in the 1992. Rolling Stone with RHCP minus John on the cover and what kind of a vibe the article itself had. Well, Invisible Movement has the scans, thanks to our Marian’s wonderful sister Missy!

Leeds festival – 26th August 2007
First of all, until 03rd September, you can watch some of the Reading set at this URL. I know how to rip and I would rip it and extract the best parts for you, but my computer has a problem with the rstp protocol and it won’t even let me watch it. So, if anyone knows how to rip from the stream (as I assume I’m not the only person in the world with that superpower…), it would be nice if you could rip this 🙂 Yorkshire Evening Post review NME review with a partial setlist. BTW, John did not do a solo at this show, for the first time…

Here’s the setlist and some useful links for last night’s Reading Festival. The photo is courtesy of BBC. If you’re interesting in reading the NME review, click here.

More from Glasgow
As the I-M.net regulars who went to Glasgow are probably still more resting, here are some nice off-site pics and reviews from the show. Some wonderful pics…bookmark and check back as, from what I understood, there will be more. Scotsman.com have posted a not-so pleasant review. However, Evening Times says: Opening with an instrumental jam, the Chilis took every opportunity to show off their virtuoso-like musicianship, with John Frusciante extracting never before heard noises from his guitar. and also: Meanwhile, Frusciante dropped to his knees for yet another over the top solo – like the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix, the riffs just kept coming. To read the whole review, click…

More on the collaboration with Wu-Tang Clan
This is from Pitchfork. While they were at it, RZA and the gang also dragged John Frusciante along for the ride. The Chili Pepper plays lead on the Wu rendition, which is simply called “Gently Weeps” and isn’t a cover in the straight sense. Instead it features the Clan rapping over the cover version recorded with Dhani and John, acting out a heroin dealer/heroin user saga. Method Man portrays the victim, while Ghostface turns in “one of the best lyrics I’m ever heard him say” (according to RZA, but we believe him) as the dealer. 8 Diagrams, meanwhile, now has a release date of November 13 on SRC (both this…
