For everyone who had trouble understanding how to download the DVD of RHCP’s performance at Green Fest when I announced it in the previous news item I’ve just written a handy billingual tutorial on how to do it, step by step. Click here to read it.

Given that the most of Invisible Movement visitors are from English speaking countries and the Balkans, this should clear most people’s doubts.

If you still have questions after having read the tutorial, do ask in comments to this news item. If it still doesn’t work after all this, perhaps your internet service provider has disabled use of FTP (which is common for some work and academic networks).

Green Fest DVD, made by Hcrockso is now online on the FTP of Stone Cold Bush. You will have to registed on the website and follow these instructions to access the FTP. Once logged in, go to the DVD_RHCP directory, then to 2007-06-26 Indjija, Serbia and start downloading. Your download should take less than a day on 1 Mbps connection, about a day at 768 Kbps and such.

The DVD contains of the RTS broadcast, .avi files of which are available here, amateur videos of Throw Away Your Television, Snow ((Hey Oh)) and Don’t Forget Me, as well as a short documentary filmed about the event, with TV host interviewing fans and such. There’s no translation for that last part, but it’s been said many times that picture speaks more than words.

Credits: The mastermind Hcrockso made the DVD, mocked up some amazing interface to it and provided the official video footage in a good, good format. I sent in audio, close-up videos of Don’t Forget Me and TAYT, as well as the documentary; and the clip of Don’t Forget Me was filmed by Alena Šljivo, whom I’m apologising on this occasion, as I mixed her up with another person providing amateur videos and photographs from the same events as those she went to.

If you have any additional questions, ask here in comments or on any of these two site’s message boards. If you don’t and if you were there, start looking for yourselved on the video. If you don’t and you were not there…well, this DVD will make you feel like you’re a part of the event, especially during the unrepeatably good version of Higher Ground, extra-gentle and sad SOS and, of course, the boombastic, raw show intro. Enjoy!

Here’s a brief list of what’s on this one-day-shorter-than-usual week’s playlist, which is a bit more messy this time, to see if you always play it until the end or not. To read more about it and see where you can get the last one if you liked it, click the “continue reading” link.

This week’s playlist is, as you can see, themed. There are actually two times: celebrating seven years from the release of To Record Only Water For Ten Days and, obviously, celebrating the love, as today is 14th February. I’m not too keen on these things myself (made-up commercial holidays, not love); but I figured out it would be very nice to have an appropriate theme for the week.

As reported by ultimage-guitar.com, via s-a.com:

Chad Smith gave a couple of short interviews at this year’s MusicaRes event, prior to the anual Grammy awards and the one that got the most attention was surely the one about Red Hot Chili Peppers’ further plans; which definitely leaves us an open dor to speculate about the 10th album.

Mr. Smith was quotted saying:

“We’re just taking a little hiatus, just relaxing. We toured a lot in the last year and a half, so it’s family time, and then we’ll recharge and get together sometime this year and make some more music.”

Here’s a little video clip of it, courtesy of Artisan News.

You can read the whole article here, but prepare for bad grammar, wrong data on awards the band won and similar things.

The Maneater recommends Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s Calibration as a worthy listen and, (not) surprisingly, they said that Glosa Picaresca Wou Men is the most listenworthy track on it.

Another common collaborator of Rodriguez-Lopez’s, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante, brings forth the best effort on this album. Oddly enough it is not for a guitar solo, but for lead vocals on “Glosa Picaresca Wou Mên.” His haunting vocals fade in and out only revealing certain lyrics, such as “I know where I’m at/I know where I’m at.”

Maybe Frusciante knows, but anyone listening has no clue where they are.

You can read the whole review here. And here’s another one, from URB magazine, where the reviewer is quite puzzled with the song’s ending.

“Glosa Picaresca Wou Men,” featuring the Red Hot Chili Pepper John Frusciante, is a treacherous, chaotic and frankly, enjoyable journey, until it stops prematurely: a cliff-like fall with zero slope, right into the next track.

You can read the whole review here.

Slightly off-topic:
If you’re interested, a video was released for the title song.
