long long time...

it has been a very long time since i made my last post.

working you see. it has been a year though.. kill me, i'm not a guy to blog maybe...

fuck it.

There is this girl...

Who writes real good stories.

"The Story of Talema Who Went Out In Search of His Name"

It is good. But here another one: I like it. Got the translation. Yes, I know her. I'm lucky.

God was gone.

Like he was lost, or dead, or like he never existed. People were unsure and confused; as if someone just turned the lights off, they started walking gropingly in the dark, not knowing where to go. The electricity was cut. It was like someone had taken their clothes away. One usually isn’t aware of his clothes, but their absence is extremely eye catching. Even those who never before realized God was there did realize it once they stood completely naked.

The smell of silence and change rose from the houses. “We’re Closed” signs were hung on the walls of churches, synagogues and mosques; evil eyes and crucifixes were taken off walls. Sobs arose and melted into the groans of people who didn’t know where to find shelter. The Buddhists just shrugged, and started to wait for God to reincarnate in a higher form.

The governments took measurements to assure national security; investors hastily grabbed their phones, shouting instructions to banks. Workers called it a day off and went home; unemployed ones continued to sit at home. The poor no more knew who they should complain to. The children got confused; some cried because they wouldn’t get the red bicycle they wanted for Christmas, some were happy that faeries didn’t count as God and continued to leave their teeth under their pillows. The smaller ones just shrugged and went on with their game; better the grownups decide whether God existed or not. The even smaller ones didn’t know about God anyway; they just went on trying to eat their toes.

The sinners were happy that no one was left to send them to hell. The philanthropists were disappointed that they wouldn’t profit from their charities. For the drunkards it was a reason to drink, but God or not, they always had a reason anyway. The Theists gave the Nihilists 100 bucks. The dreamers prayed, the opportunists started to work on the Holy Scripture of the new era. And all the infidels, the atheists, and the blasphemous, peacefully watched from their living rooms the fish that swam around in their fishbowl with their eyes and mouths wide open.

Stolen Idea

I just loved SheiBaue's idea of creating alternative GATies. So I did one myself..

An old record, a new album

by Omar Rodriguez Lopez & John Frusciante.

Record is released at 1th of May, 2010 -so I'm bit late to publish it. I just first wanted to listen and feed myself with it for a while. but they they recorded it many years ago.

You can download or simply listen it for free from here.

Music is such a free feeling. If you ask me, I listen this record at my car while I'm driving for fun and that gave me such a free mood. And I listened at my room, while I'm doing nothing but laying on my bad and imaginin visions which came with this music piece. So yes, I recommend you all to download it. It's good, it's experimenting guitarists, it's free and it's worth your time. And I loved the cover art too...

Smash it Up

One thing that we poor guitar players never do (at least I don't)

The Last the Who

I totally didn't know Pete Townshend has hearing problems. Roger told to some mag that if Pete has a risk to gone totally deaf, that they will stop their performances and studio, in other words I guess it's end is appearing at the horizon for the Who which is a shame. But as Roger told they are getting old, really.

Maybe Roger would really end up playing with Jimmy Page and become a blues singer. I mean duo would be good I believe, both are great.

Roger Waters is the Wall-ing

Gilmore said about Roger's almost personal record The Wall was a “a catalog of people Roger blames for his own failings in life”. You know, The Wall doesn't seem like a catalog to me and I'm glad that Roger Waters actually packs up for another The Wall Tour.

I found something Roger Waters says about the tour in a website: “maybe the story of my fear and loss with it’s concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and ‘isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life.”

Again... Frusciante and all..

Frusciante is the top guitar player of the last 30 years. here is the list according to BBC 6music' The Axe Factor Poll:

1. John Frusciante
2. Slash
3. Muse's Matthew Bellamy
4. Johnny Marr
5. Tom Morello
6. Metallica's Kirk Hammett
7. Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood
8. Prince
9. Jack White
10. R.E.M.'s Peter Buck

Well I agree with them. First of all.. who the hell is SLASH??! I mean, he is nothing comparing to Frusciante. Tom Morello is some guitar player that I cannot say bad, I just never liked one of his bands - but that's just me, Jonny Greenwood is really good, But I prefer John Frusciante just like BBC does. On the other hand I am very suprised that he is at the top, they usually don't put him to the top of the lists, so that's a good change.

You know John Frusciante is playing with a band called Swahili Blonde, and they are good too. It's not hard to hear Frusciante out of that music either. The badns founder is Nicole Turley who is ex-drummer and singer of WEAVE! and the other members are violinist Laena Myers-Ionita, bassist John Taylor (Duran Duran - I hate that band...) father and daughter Alen Meyer (Deva) and Alina Meyer (the Likes) and all... I think "shit". I'm kinda excited about it. The record will come up @july 2010 -we still have some time to wait.

nice cover by the way, don't you think?

Vatican Had Forgiven Beatles

But did Ringo Starr forgave them?

The Vatican may have forgiven the Beatles over the weekend for their "satanic" messages -- but Ringo Starr, the legendary band's drummer, says he couldn't care less.

In a tribute published to mark the 40th anniversary of the breakup of the band, who singer John Lennon once claimed were "more popular than Jesus," the Vatican newspaper "L'Osservatore Romano" said it had forgiven them and called them a "precious jewel."

But Starr told CNN: "Didn't the Vatican say we were satanic or possibly satanic -- and they've still forgiven us? I think the Vatican, they've got more to talk about than the Beatles."

stolen from:http://whatreallyhappened.com/

no truly. I find it amusing that vatican still forgives, punishes, thinks that IT IS important in people's life. come on. who really cares what vatican thinks or does?

beatles?

definetly not!

In the Age of 64

People will feel sad.

I don't. Malcolm McLaren is dead.

When I enter his website I found this: -I don't know for how long the site will remain same but what is written in the site was:

Malcolm will return shortly...

Sauced Zeke

The Puppy Also Cooks.

I think this thing perfectly fits.

Next thing will see is some good old Zeke who looks like

yeeeee-haaaa

Guitar Test #3: Les Paul & Fender

Well... Here it is. An objective see thru.

With all respect: not bad.

I prefer Strat. All the way.

But...

anyway. it is simply something I've found on youtube.com

I am not even sure why I am posting it. Just a guitar check.

what the hell happend to juliette?

seriously people. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

sending just 2 videos from Julliette Lewis: one with the Licks, and the other is solo.

What the hell happend to Juliette, man?! Hot Kiss video maybe suck but the song is real good.

But what the hell is UH HUH?!

HUH??!?!??!

VERSUS

yeah. julliette released her new video.

great.

hahahaha.

damn.

My best pal was missing for a few days...

BUT I HAVE FOUND HIM!!!

Guitar Test #2 Gretsch

A Gretsch White Falcon. Most of the guitar players that I've met wants that piece of wonder.

With a cool sound and damned look, this guitar steals people's heart! Well, I like it.

Did I ever wanted one of this babes? Well, you know how guitarists are. We never get enough of guitars.

I have no idea who the guy is, but he tests the guitar for us.

And I just remembered that Frusciante got a Gretsch White Falcon as well.

You see, that guitar is the guitar of smooth sounds, you need to be pure and kind to that guitar, like holding a bird.

Here is a Frusciante&Gretsch White Falcon co-operation. It's simply Californication, but listen the solo before the song, I think it is amazing.

I think that's enough to say. Music shows you the way. Never care. Find your own tune and play to it.

Guitar Test #1 Telecaster

Telecaster? I don't have a Telecaster but I am planning to have one, as I am actually an old school Stratocaster player. I decided to search on youtube for some guitar sounds so I can show people, actually I don't know why. Maybe some kinda collecting instict or something?

Well here Andy Summers and his telecaster (it is actually Andy Summers tribute Telecaster.) By the way the real music starts at something like after 2:35 so you can directly skip to that part, but it is some good piece so listen it, I recommend it highly. And like at the end of the 6th minute a bass solo takes andy's place, and does it good too. I guess it is an American Jazz Bass with 5strings. Though it is a bit old video, to be honest this blogging thing makes me dive into youtube, which I didn't use so much earlier.

and I guess the color of this post is totally blue. I'm not sure why, just I feel like it.

where shall we go?

The truth is:

We have to decide till sunday morning.

come on.

Tijuana?

Or the desert?

redness

Josh Klinghoffer is officially Red Hotted. Well, at least he says so, Flea says so. I also heard that Chad Smith (drummer-giant) wasn't around when John Fru. left the band and he is a bit shocked (but that was a year ago of course) any way as we all now Klinghoffer is kinda best buddies forever with john frusciante. "Whether or not this news was Frusciante's idea still remains to be seen. If so, that would mean that the whole situation is a bit like a wife leaving her husband and offering her best friend as a replacement. " says the site that I'm reading the news, just the same with Shaq's point of view. Well, marriges have their own ways I guess. But I don't really think bands are only can be seen as marriages. Leaving a wife is not same as leaving a band. I see it is much more harder to leave a band. Your friends, your collabrators. Loving people without sexual attraction but with passion is an undescribable feeling.

I really do think Josh Klinghoffer is a real good guitarist and a real wild hearted musician. I guess what I shoul do now is to listen Reds as now they are a new band, since Frusciante made his parts in the music so unreplaceble, Klinghoffer should NOT immitate the guy, and do his own music with the Reds. After all, more than being Red Hot Chili Peppers, I appreciate Flea, Chad Smith and Anthony Kiedis, and of course (still) John Fru and even Josh Klinghoffer as individual musicians, as long as they are making music I am pretty ok with that. Though John Frusciante may be the best guitarist of today's music, his solo records are definetly not as good as the RHCP albums. Being in a band is really productive thing, and he knows that. That's the reason why even the music exist. Being in a band what music is. Yes. I said it. So what?

I prefer Chilies with Frusciante as anybody. But yes, I do officially announce that I will give a chance to Josh Klinghoffer, because he seems like a real music man.

See a video from our new band -pretty damn good but I wish I could have find some Josh Klinghoffer video with good sound quality and guitar. (but I am sure that Zeke will like this jam)

by the way...

I didn't post anything yesterday about the women's day. bad me. so here it is: happy chick's day. We would be nothing without you. My heart beats for you girls.

No-Era

The 21st century is the current century of the Christian Era or Common Era in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar. It began on January 1, 2001 and will end on December 31, 2100.

Is there really a reason for the 21st century? Do we really need to be in such a whole big complete nothingness?

now only things that we understand from the future are pills, space travels, making more money, glamour.

BUY AND SELL

People should help me to find my way. I need to go to the Jerusalem or something. I need to go to the desert and get lost.

Let's make music

Let's make love

If we don't move

this will never stop

A sick game to play

but we can cheat

in the mount in the road

or in the beach

an old tradition to wake up

a new road to ride

change is something on the way

but it's not something good

I can say

If we don't move

this will never stop

let's make music

let's make love

I just realized...

that music is in a very rough road at this days.

I'm searching in the internet if anything comes up.

The new Johnny Cash album (Ain't No Grave - includes the songs that he recorded before his death) seems like it's the only record worth to be excited about. I found a not-so-good vide of the song "Ain't No Grave" so here it is:

It makes me sad to see that most productive musicians are the dead ones.

Lou Reed is remasteres Metal Machine Music (1975) as audio DVD. Better sound quality is always appealing for us, what can I say?

Red Hot Chili Peppers are in the studio (without John Fru.), so is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (blues based, jamm-kinda stuff, well I don't know what he means by that: rocknroll maybe? tcktck)

My ears are aching to hear something new and brilliant and sensational. Am I being so romantic?

There is nothing new except the old guys. I know, I know, people likes some new so-called rock, alternative types of bands. It is not what I am looking for. Less glamour more creative musically strong bands are what we need. Some new Blank Generation, people who are not only in love or heart broken or rich. People who thinks and moves.
