2013-04-13T15:25:00.001-07:00

Ian Deborja, 24, of San Francisco said he had heard with "80 percent" certainty that Daft Punk would perform with Phoenix during its set tonight on the main Coachella Stage, especially after a commercial was shown at the festival last night with Daft Punk.Deborja added he had "heard" Frusciante, the Red Hot Chili Peppers previous guitarist, would perform with the band on Sunday but he did not know if it would be for a song or a full set.

DANNY CAREY (TOOL), CEVIN KEY (SKINNY PUPPY) AND JOHN FRUSCIANTE (EX-RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) WORKING ON SIDE PROJECT?

2013-01-17T13:45:00.000-08:00

We’ve been waiting on a new Tool album for far too long – quite literally, their last album came out seven years ago, with reports saying the album has been in works since 2009. Frontman Maynard James Keenan started a winery and filmed a documentary since 2006′s 10,000 Days came out. If you found yourself asking what drummer Danny Carey was up to, you may have a surprising answer: he’s been working on an industrial side project with cEvin Key fromSkinny Puppy.

When speaking to UK-based drummer magazine Rhythm, Danny Carey was asked if he was working on any projects beyond Tool. He said “I played on some Collide tracks. They’re a gothic type band, more industrial-sounding. I’ve done a few things with Skinny Puppy in the past. Actually, me and cEvin Key from Skinny Puppy have a project in the works right now. John Frusciante might play guitar…”

If former Red Hot Chili Pepper Frusciante does play guitar, this will be the first recording of his since his two strange, semi-instrumental synthesizer hip hop (…seriously) recordings that came out last year. I’d be pumped to hear Frusciante making real rock music again, although disappointed Tool hasn’t apparently been everyone involved’s fool focus.

The issue of Rhythm Magazine with the full interview is out now; it was first discovered on Frusciante fan site Invisible Movement.

John Frusciante on sexual castle demo, “FLIP THE SCRIP”

2013-01-12T03:58:00.003-08:00

Flip The Scrip_demo by Sexual Castle

After having joined their forces in newly reformed WEAVE!, the band that once opened for rising stars WarPaint and the killer combo of John, Josh Klinghoffer, Flea and Stella Mozgawa at the Troubadour in 2008; Nicole Turley and Ivory Lee Carlson have formed another band - Sexual Castle.

John can be found playing guitar on one of the three demos the band posted so far, the song titled Flip The Scrip.

The music could be classified as synth pop/new wave revival, similar to what some of the more mainstream artists were doing in the '80s and around mid-90s; but that is, as usual, not all that there is to it; so you are more than encouraged have to check it out yourself. The girls themselves claim that they make music for strawberry lovers. While all of this may sound merely passé for us people who won't get what appears to be their inside jokes (including us here), music is music and this is good for chilling out.

Bob Forrest quotes Frusciante in recent interview

2012-11-19T15:55:00.000-08:00

In a recent interview Bob Forest quotes several times John Frusciante.

"If you look at me, John [Frusciante], Anthony [Kiedis], Perry [Farrell], we’re all kind of spoiled brat, late baby boomers who were spoiled by our parents and grew up in some sort of affluence or upper middle class. That’s part of why I’m so good at dealing with these rich snotty kids—because I am a rich snotty kid."

You mentioned your friend John Frusciante. There’s disturbing footage in the film of a super-high Frusciante. It’s more disturbing than some of the footage of you.

Obviously I don’t like to think about it personally all that much, but other than John Frusciante—who then eventually got clean, which is also shown in the movie—there’s no worse a drug addict than me. No worse.

So you put yourself right there with John Frusciante?

You always have to have somebody you think is worse than you, so that you can continue. Some lower companions or whatever. John, though he had a lot of money, was a lower companion. So I could feel like, “Well, I’m not that bad.” I think Perry Farrell hung out with me thinking, “Well, I’m not that bad.”

Frusciante is just a well-rounded musical genius

2012-11-17T14:25:00.002-08:00

In a recent interview Chad Smith just tells his thoughts about John Frusciante

Smith said of Frusciante, a man he considers the most talented musician with whom he’s ever played.

“We all bring important elements to the group. But in the songwriting department, John Frusciante was very important, and he’s just an encyclopedia of music, not to say that he’s not as well an incredible musician, guitar player, singer, everything. He’s just a well-rounded musical genius."

In enemies' hands I don't have to measure

I don't have to measure

In enemies' hands I don't have to measure

I don't have to measure up

And I've seen a million eyes at once, staring as one

You are the apple of my life

There's no one but you in the world I'd choose

You are what carries dark to light

There is no excuse for being untrue

In every sound is an above and below unfound

The dance they do we all feel

Above and below sensory input are two lovers disconnected by us

So we have to join them in our actions

We are the center of what one wants

You are the apple of my life

There's no one but you in the world I'd choose

You are the sum and whole of life

There is no one in the world but you and I

You connect the earth to the sky

And nothing comes between us

Our bodies or minds

Nothing disconnects us

Not silence or time

Before the break of day

Blackness has no chance

Forever all we've seen

You know it's gotta last

Faulted into being

No, we have no chance

All we've ever been is a dog bitten lass

Always intervene

Nothing is attached

Rounded into seeing

Surround where you stand

Alternating beams

Through the vision cast

What travels is the spring that spins under glass

You know we have to lose

We break our minds to choose

Between when, what and where

The carriers of pain do not discriminate

Distinction's in the stars

Aw sides

Bringing me a vision in my mind's eye

Etiquette as a stroke

You don't know what I mean and yet you go to it

Rain from yourself to the cloudy sky till you are dry

Lightning strikes the sun

Won't you come on

Rain from yourself to the cloudy sky till you are dry

Lightning strikes the sun

Won't you come on

PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone - Lyric - Mistakes

Mistakes help one see

That you make your own surroundings

Life is a dream

And is made by inwardly seeing what you want it to be

Success has its trappings

You judge yourself based on how you think you're seen

And you may guess how you're spoken about

And try to fit into a box till you can't get out or move freely about

Respect who you are inside

Let your heart be your guide

What others think says nothing about you

Just how you relate to what they're going through

And that's not much

Does not say much

Unless it's a friend when it's everything

Those who don't want you to be anything but what you are

Do you feel this, my sad emotion

Do you feel it inside

Forever is here in receptive motion

Earth with a river inside

Do you feel it inside your body

Earth with a river inside

I need a taste

I can almost face myself

There is a way, a never-ending pavement cast

Land on a date such a long, long way, way back

Which has a crave for the path that ends in black

I gotta fade another day

I can taste it, I can feel it

And you can have, you can have my face right now

Standing back from the lapse

Children are what you are

Tim Gilbert weighs internally more than the scales say

Carries a weight such that no eyes see in air

Jean Nealy views from a place where time is flat

She sees a haze that could penetrate more black

She's gotta seize who sees

And she wants to live in lightning

God, shrinking multiplicity you are

And you can have, you can have my fate right now

Another grave, another blank

Children are what you are

Landscapes come and pass my way

Vision goes in a car

What you say, another day

Above you, you mostly are

And in the cradle, a newborn babe

Is a dot in the war

Spreads its wings, intervenes

Human atop a star

I want, I want, I want searching

I'd never been right before

I walked right out that door

There's a minimum for lurching

I will erase my face

There is no time or place

It's just the way you are seeing

I'm a song, I'll arrest myself

Healing, healing

Life is gold and omitted my home

Reeling, reeling

Feelings hit the door

There's never been more than war

Our appetites bind resisting

There is more than fate

There never is loss you take

Only the wind of receiving

I want, I want, I want

Heaven's whore eating at my sides

What's a goal that picks at my soul

I never was loved before

For who I am, no more

The universe can be forgiving

There is no more fate than there is no mistakes

And mind is a big tape just playing

I want, I want, I want

There is you by my side

And I want you, I need you

In the afternoon take a bike and become you, become you

No one gave me time or rhythm

I don't give you mine

Intricacies, intricacies

Sees as deep into anything

Help me son cuz you will give me mine in further intimacy

In a steady set up scene

The lights are closing in on thee

Who is this that stands right up to time and closes in

Apples gleam in riches' filthy

Walls and doors

Any sigh is a womb

Releasing to the room of senses

Results of plans are ours

Our actions girt in what will be

One time seems a bunch

But we don't see in front of us

When you do anything

Everything's coming to you

When you see a changeling

He's nothing but his appearances' sum

Touch knows what's hearing

Sight knows who's speaking

They're walls and doors

And naught upholds it all

What never ends lost it all

It echoes and re-throws

The bornless win it all

They echo tomorrow's sounds

And all is turned around

Not so new, but in case you were in caverns and didn't notice you can pre order the awesome new album (PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone) of our beloved Johnie!

As he describe in its blog:
"I might mention that Walls And Doors was also the first time my electronic instruments had begun to convey the visceral energy that one associates with people beating the fuck out of their instruments, in the context of a pop song."

And for sure you can heard the first music, it is just a matter of download and heard.
