RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik and One Hot Minute |

In 1990, the group switched labels to Warner Bros. Records. Rick Rubin was hired to produce their fifth album, which was, at the time, still untitled. The writing process was far more productive than what was  written during Mother's Milk. Kiedis said that: "(every day) now, there was new music for me to lyricize".
Throughout the entire 6 month process, the long periods of rehearsal, songwriting, and the incubating of ideas led the band to record the album. Rubin, however, was discontented with an everyday recording studio, implying the Chili Peppers would bear fruit in a more unorthodox setting. He came across an "amazing, huge, empty historically landmarked Mediterranean haunted mansion a stone's throw from where we all lived." For the next approximate month, Frusciante, Kiedis and Flea remained in seclusion, never once leaving the house during the entire recording process. Smith, however, decided not to stay, as, according to many, the mansion was haunted; he had no intention of remaining, and would leave on his Harley Davidson each night.
The title of the album was still uncertain to the band, however, one particular song title stuck out: "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". Although it was not a featured song, Rick believed it to be "Clearly the best title we have now....." |

Ben Gibbard: Sometimes Rock Belongs to the Quiet and the Shy |

 On Tuesday night at Town Hall, Ben Gibbard thanked his fans for coming to see him, and then he went further. “I know there’s a lot of stuff going on in town, especially with the Arcade Fire show tonight,” he said. For a moment, one of indie-rock’s most popular singer-songwriters sounded a little bit like a flight attendant: He knew we had our choice of concerts, and he thanked us for choosing his. (Somehow he refrained from wishing us a pleasant stay in New York, or wherever our final destination might be.)
But then Mr. Gibbard is nothing if not unassuming. With Death Cab for Cutie and the electro-pop side-project the Postal Service, he has perfected his knack for writing and singing bittersweet love songs that sound bold and shy at the same time. The lovely melodies stick in your head, but the guy delivering them never makes a spectacle of himself. |

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Part II |

 Today we would continue in talking abour RHCP.
George Clinton was selected to produce the next Red Hot Chili Peppers album, Freaky Styley. Clinton successfully fused various elements of punk and funk into the band's repertoire, allowing the Chili Peppers to be musically diverse and varied, meeting their fruition. Compared to Andy Gill, Clinton was not only undemanding to work with, but believed in the band from the moment production began. Released on August 16, 1985, Freaky Styley, as its predecessor, saw little to no commercial viability. It failed to mark any impression on any chart, whatsoever, and the resulting tour was unproductive and financially futile.
Cliff Martinez departed from the group in the summer of 1986, and the band temporarily hired Chuck Biscuits to finish the tour. Jack Irons, out of work and finally separated from another commitment, rejoined the group, shocking Anthony, Flea, and Hillel. The band chose Michael Beinhorn to produce their next album. Songs began to form quickly, and the album's shape came within sight; it would blend the same funk rhythm and feel as Freaky Styley had, but also take a harder more immediate approach to punk rock and funk metal. Having all four original members allowed for creativity to flow, and flourish.
