Tonight at 23:00 GMT on the SCUZZ channel 364 for SKY viewers, there will be programme for 1 hour entitled “Happy Birthday John Frusciante”.

If someone could tape this in case it’s interesting, that would be great.

As the most of people visiting this (a) corner of the cyberspace, today is John’s birthday and he’s thirty-eight years old. Though there’s, like, 1% probability he’d ever read this; warm greetings from me and everyone in the Invisible Movement community!

This is Bella and this photo of her was taken three days after John and RHCP’s extremely brief state in this (I grew up there and I wasn’t scared) part of the world in June; and despite the fact that she’s female, her humble, fragile and shy looks and uniqueness compared to the rest of the heard she was a part of make this piece of Kilobytes an appropriate piece to, at least in dreams, present to John on this day.

If you want to wish John a happy birthday, there’s a thread on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ official message board. Click here!. They also have a news item for it.

You can also join the little party we’re having on the Invisible Movement boards, click here.

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

According to AlbumVote, EMI is, oops, doing it again. Red Hot Chili Peppers are to have their first four studio albums re-mastered, re-packaged and re-released on March 24 2008.

1984’s self-titled debut will have five extra tracks, 1985’s Freaky Styley will have four extra tracks and there will be an extra two tracks included on 1987’s The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. 1989’s Mother’s Milk will come with an extra 6 tracks.

According to some other sources, this might be a mixup with the news from 2003, so it’s not 100% sure.

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.

The story about Chad’s DVD, Eastern Rim, was definitely not a rumour. The piece, which is very relevant to John appreciators as it contains footage of the amazing jam held on on 11th April last year in Melbourne will be available on DVD from 10th March on.

Performances: In addition to rare, behind-the-scenes views of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, this DVD captures an explosive 30-minute improv live from Federation Square in Melbourne. Chad and his band mates surprise the crowd by turning a scheduled drum clinic into a full-fledged jam!
