This update was strategically delayed for one simple reason: 750 000 visitors milestone. I thought it would be a nice non-coincidence.

As usual, the brief list of updates is here, and you need to load the separate news item page for a detailed description. There will probably be one more update in a couple of days, as I promised some people some certain audio and video, but today it’s a zeitnot, so…later.

1. The list of articles that need to be typed up has been made, in case you’d like to help out.
2. Seven sets of live photographs
3. Two sets of magazine scans
4. Two sets of screencaps/stills
5. 50 wallpapers made by a very inspired fan
6. One new painting by Tuija Myllynen
7. Three new magazine articles
8. The default poll has been replaced, as thou wanna…

First of all, guys, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thanks to everyone who’s been so kind to support Invisible Movement with donations, as you can see, the hosting has been renewed for the next 14 months and it’s all thanks to kind people who donated, and Jason who was so kind to receive them at his Paypal address and process them to the hosting company on the server of which server this website happens to reside.

In future, the donation button will remain on the site and donations will be used to renew hosting even further, possibly connect the member system on the forum with comments on the site and the gallery (which, as the most of you know, doesn’t have comments allowed at this time) and possibly access old magazine articles from various online archives and share them for everyone to enjoy and get to know more.

Once again, all of your help and support is more than appreciated, there aren’t words nice enough to describe how nice some people out there are, so just once more: thanks!

So..here’s this week set of updates. This time there are some nice magazine scans again, live photos, some of which are from a show there were no fan photos from before, some of which are from the much loved set at the ATP and…you’ll see where the others are from. There are also a couple of longish magazine articles and a revised transcript of Stuff.

1. Two new sets of magazine scans
2. Five new sets of live photographs
3. Five new magazine articles
4. Stuff transcript has been redone

Here’s some relief to all of you who keep on typing “john frusciante photos 2008″ in your search boxes and, believe it or not, there are 30-50 such searches per day, according to the site statistics.

As some of you might have heard, John was present at the opening of Julian Schnabel’s exhibition in Los Angeles on 21st February. Thanks to wonderful Julia, here are three photos from the event. Click on the thumbnail to see the album.

Here’s this week set of updates, containing one complete beautiful audio show that was requested many times by the site visitors, even more live photos and…well, take a look at the list.

1. One complete audio show, in mp3 and flac
2. Thirteen new sets of live photos: from 2003, 2006 and 2007
3. One set of live photos updated and some mistakes fixed
4. One new set of magazine scans
5. One new set of screencaps/stills
6. A separate section under articles, for letters; and four letters inside of it

The search for volunteer is now over, so, if you received the previous update on this together with this one, feel free to discard it.

There have been three candidates who have applied to help with gathering donations and I’m more than thankful to them. However, as a friend is gathering donations for his own website (many things from which end up on Invisible Movement as well), I thought it would be the best choice.

So, click this button to donate money for the next fourteen months of Invisible-Movement.net’s hosting. The goal is aproxx. 100 Euros / 150 $ / 76 GBP and, IF more than needed is gathered eventually, it will be used for future hosting payments or, if needed, script purchase and similar things that could benefit the visitors of Invisible Movement.

You should be able to donate if you have a Visa or Master card, even without a PayPal account, given that you’re from an eligible country.

Also, make sure you email me if you donated and tell me who you are, so I can put you on the donators’ list. Last time I didn’t get back to everyone as I was on dial-up, working on my Vienna excursion and first-ever project as I was freshly hired; for which I apologise. This time I promise to thank everyone personally.

OK, this one is serious. And rather urgent.

Invisible Movement needs help to stay on its feet for the second time. For those of you who were not following this website in November 2006 and for those of you who don’t remember it, back in the days the old hosting company kicked I-M.net out of its server because of “using up too much of the system resources” and, thanks to an amazing person, who partly made this site what it is and who is and always will be the most wonderful human on Earth, no matter where she is and what she is doing right now, who agreed to accept donations at her PayPal, a donation rally for new hosting was started.

And then, a bunch of people donated enough money for the best hosting ever to be bought and the remaining amount was used for the longer-term domain name renewal. One of them, certain J.H. most likely gave twice as much as everyone else together.

In the meantime, I was 100% sure that I’ll be able to pay new hosting once the current offer expires with my debit card. Unfortunately, the situation in this country did not change, there’s still no possibility to use PayPal and, apparently, even though I tried, it turned out that I cannot use my debit card online and, as the current hosting offer expires in about ten days, so there isn’t much time to react or to send money by snail-mail to someone who would be able to pay it.

In short, Invisible Movement will need to run another donation rally this week.

Before anything else is done: I’m looking for a volunteer who can use PayPal and who will be able to accept the payments and then, when it’s all done, just transfer the donated amount of money onto the hosting company’s account. The person, of course, needs to be trusting enough to do this.

So, if you think you could handle being the volunteer for this process, please, contact me. I will pick the person who seems to be the most reliable or the first reliable enough to come up, then the donation rally will start.

I hope that, among 40 000 people who visit this website each month, there’s someone who could help with this.

The week behind us leaves its mark by an one-day-hiatus on Friday (there were two reasons for it and you can read about one of them here, just so you’d know it wasn’t some stupid thing!); BUT also an extra large update in the live photography gallery, including three photos from Mother’s Milk era, something from 2003 and some from 2006 and 2007. I can also assure you that there will be more next week.

Also, the gigography section is temporarily offline, as it’s being rebuilt. If you have been to any of John’s solo shows in 2001, performances in 2004, shows with Thelonious Monster in 1997, ATP Festival or 1st anual Hullabaloo in 2005, numerous (un)expected appearances at The Mars Volta shows or, well, anything else, I am kindly asking you if you would share a bit of your experience and/or media from those events. There’s a handful of people who have submitted their reviews, mostly of ATP 2005 and the 2004 performances already, but more is always welcome…think of it as if you were contributing to history, because it IS history!

Either way, here’s a short summary of this week’s updates and, to get the details, continue reading. This one’s for the picture-lovers for sure.

1. Fifteen new sets of live photos
2. Two new sets of screencaps/stills
3. One more language in the GLOBAL action
