Road Trippin'

I got to know RHCP late, in 2005, I was rather prejudiced against them, thought them a bunch of porkies of some kind, nevertheless I started listening to the album Californication, as the songs went by I found I quite liked them, there was a sort of sensuality in the voice that paired beautifully to a music sounding direct and ever slightly raw, creating an uncompairable style. Then at the end there was Road Trippin, it completely captured my attention, almost had me crying, so simple yet so deeply poetic. That song made me completely fall in love with RHCP, I understood then that whatever said and done, there had to be something more profound in somebody able to write such a song than what a superficial glance could catch. After I did some research and learned about the band and the member's stories and although I now possess the full discography and enjoy most of their work past and present, Californication is still the one I feel more intimate with. There is so much soul and sufference yet deep joy to be found again, in that album, I feel I can almost touch the feelings in it and often even make them my own. To me it is an absolute masterpiece.

Long due update on what is going on

I'm so busy I rarely have time to drop by this blog, which is wrong...
What's taking place? There's a new album by TRTV out there called Sounds. In Life And Death Of These Derelict Souls, you can buy it on Itunes, Amazon or from the official website for just 1 euro, thus supporting also other projects by Frillye.
Warped Cats are recording the second EP, there's still quite a bit of work to be done but hopefully it will be ready by the end of spring.
All through last summer Frillye was present with a little store in Lido di Savio selling books and CDs, it will probably not be replied this summer because of other programs.
The next thing in the list is to organize an online TV channel for which I already have many ideas, the thing lacking is time, it's hard to do everything on one's own, a part from having to work and all the rest...
Also in its way the production of audiobooks covering all of Tanya's poetry production, a lenghty piece of work as it happens.
Many other things are there waiting, doesn't make sense to list them all, what I can say though is:

PLEASE SUPPORT ME WITH THESE PROJECTS

go to www.theroughandthevelvet.com and buy a subscription for just 1 euro, a little price that will help an artist a great deal.

J Fru's Music and a link to supernatural

I noticed when I listen to John Frusciante's music outside something strange happens to me. It's as if everything external to me was a sort of illusion, a hologram, difficult to explain, as if the only true thing was me and the sky, the water, the elements, as if I was part of the elements, I could reach them and touch them be immense and eternal as they are and nothing scares me then, nothing is important anymore...
So I've come to think his music is indeed a gateway to what's superhuman, to eternity, to dimensions and creatures we cannot rationally conceive, to the whole of the universe and truth.
