Not your usual review…and it also reviews just one song.
This is a review of Running Away Into You, the song from John’s first solo album, from Tiny Mix Tapes. I thought it would be a…well…different read. “Run Away Into You,†by John Frusciante from Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt, 1995 Ever seen that Behind the Music episode on the Red Hot Chili Peppers? There’s that part where they talk about John Frusciante’s descent into heroinism (look it up, cracka) and show pics and video clips of him looking all spider-monkey-ish and ready to scratch-scratch-scratch his forearms raw. OH, SWEET SMACK indeed; as bad as those years were for Frusciante as a person, he made wonderfully jittery junkyard…

John to be on the next Rolling Stone cover!
John Frusciante, John Mayer and Derek Trucks are the cover-men for the next issue of Rolling Stone…apparently, they have been called The New Guitar Gods. The wait is over: You are officially privy to the powerful knowledge of who graces the next cover of Rolling Stone. (Don’t you feel special?) We joined John Mayer, Derek Trucks and John Frusciante at the Los Angeles covershoot to witness behind-the-scenes shenanigans. The highlights? The ever-loquacious Mayer politely declined to wear any of the clothes the stylist had selected for him, saying, “Rolling Stone is the cool jacket, so to wear the cool jacket is redundant.†Trucks had his kids in tow.

Polish concert agency reveals a RHCP show date
(thanks to wonderful Halina for the news!) Lookie here. According to this, RHCP will play in Poland on 3rd July this year. The venue is a stadium. There’s also a concert poster there and other useful information. Do not ask me where the presale starts for this, as the official site is yet to announce the rest of the shows for the European summer tour. But, apparently, the tickets can be booked. The official site announced presale for tomorrow at 10. They didn’t state how long it will last.

An update of the “unusual rumour” entry
You have probably seen this one already. Well, I have searched the internet, as I do not dare to bug call the concert agencies and newspapers yet and I have found a pretty much revealing article on MTS Mondo portal, the site of my mobile phone services provider. For those who are comfortable with the west-Balkans languages, here’s a link to the original article…for everyone else, here’s a translation I did: Peppers in Beograd!? Gossip or the truth? They’d promised us Rolling Stones back then and the new story among the music experts in Beograd is that the Red Hot Chili Peppers will be coming here in June this year!?…

Invisible Movement Charlotesville special part 4
Please, read the following carefully. I understand that many people are used to YouTube and that they have extremely fast internet connections; but this should be a part of one’s BASIC internet knowledge: if there’s a link to download a file, it’s normal to right-click and save the file to one’s own computer. That way you can watch it whenever you want to. I was surprised to hear that some people have no clue about this and that they open download links with Windows Media Player. I also made sure I disabled linking from teenybopper social sites once again, as people kept on putting huge video files from this domain…
