The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a new album dropping Aug 30th. You will be certain to hear it on classic rock, modern rock, top 40 stations, and every station in between. There was a time when the Chili Peppers weren't so ubiquitous. Fuck those guys used to be punk rock! Performing with only socks on their cocks! That's hardcore.
The thing that caught my attention is that Mr. Brainwash is doing promotion for the new album. Mr. Brainwash aka Thierry Guetta was made famous in Banksy's movie Exit Through the Gift Shop, a meditation on commerce, art, reality, and authenticity. One of my favorite movies of the last year.
I think Mr. Brainwash and Red Hot Chili Peppers are an interesting combination of outsider/punk-rock esthetics with a full-on commercial savvy. Made for each other.
Anyways, this is one of the tunes that made me fall in love with the Peppers in the first place. Cheers to Esko for in the introduction back in the day.
