Red Hot Chili Peppers - Eddie

 How lucky are we? No new music for six years and not only does Frusciante re-join the band we get two, yes TWO new albums in the space of six months plus a world wide tour!

There were lots of hints dropped during the promo of Unlimited Love that the band had enough songs for two records, maybe even more and that the material they'd left out was some of the better stuff. Check out Rick Rubins podcast Broken Record for interviews with all four band members in the lead up to the release of UL as there's some great stories and honest open conversations with someone they're clearly at peace with..

Return of the Dream Canteen will be their twelth studio album and in late August Tippa My Tounge was released as the first single followed by Eddie. The track was written after Eddie Van Halen's death in 2020 and as these guys do they express their feelings through their music and instruments. It's said that Flea introduced this emotional bassline the day after his death in rehersals. I really do feel the RHCP are at their best when Flea and Chad set a tempo like this, leaving John to come in and out with his melodic chords. 

Anthony takes us back to the 80's within his lyrics, prime Van Halen and touches on Eddies Dutch heritage "They say I'm from Amsterdam, does that make me dutch?" 

This is a song of remembrance and celebration of a iconic rock star and is a fitting tribute to his memory. With a catchy chourus, fast bass line and a good 120 seconds of Fru melting our faces with a solo that is not radio friendly (something I'm happy about) this is what I come to the Chilis for. As much as I loved UL I'm hoping this next record takes us down a bass slapping, guitar schreeching, drum smashing, lyrical anagram hole!


I will be posting a ranking of ALL the RHCP albums after this new release to keep your eyes peeled for that..

Fontaines DC - Starburster

 Three days ago a ninety second video was posted on the bands socials (see link below) A homage to The Shining where green gunge oozes from a set of elevator doors as the slow, melodic opening verse of a song from the bands new album Romance seeps through the screen. Fontaines DC are back and on Wednesday night they debuted their first single from the forthcoming said album.  Starburster is bigger, more chaotic and louder then anything the band have ever done before. Elements where shown to us on Skinty Fia their excellent third album (and my record of the year 2022  My Top 10 Albums Of The Year 2022 (oldyellowbricks.co.uk)  ) where the title track dabbled in this kind of hip hop, transcendent sound that is all so prominent in this new single. It's not to far fetched to say there's elements of Moby, Massive Attack maybe even Fat Boy Slim here as the band possibly venture into new territory with producer James Ford at the helm rather than Dan Carey who has produc...

My Top 10 Movies Of The Year 2023

 10) Empire Of Light (Sam Mendes) I believe this is the first movie Sam Mendes has both written and directed and it shows. Normally I don't think this movie would make it into my top ten of the year but for some reason this film left me with a nostalgic feeling that I still have to this day. Perhaps it's because it was the first movie of the year I saw in the cinema or because it's a ode to British cinema and seaside towns it just left something with me.  Olivia Coleman as usual is bloody fantastic as Hilary, duty manager at the Empire Cinema. She's a troubled woman with bipolar disorder, something that wasn't particularly recognised in the 80's (movie is set in 1980) who's having a affair with her married boss who's clearly manipulating the situation. Stephen a new employee at the cinema, a young black guy bonds with Hilary over their love of cinema and they begin a behind closed doors relationship. Stephen suffers horrific abuse from the disgusting ski...

Arctic Monkeys Albums Ranked

First of all I'd like to say I'm a massive Arctic Monkeys fan. I remember downloading "Dance Floor" from Limewire (remember that?) as news spread about this cool new band from Sheffield playing music in a way we'd never heard before and it really did feel like that, one of those generationally bands that only come around once in a while. Damon Albarn recently said that AM are the last great rock band and I do think he has a point here as I'm struggling to think of any band since that has had such a profound effect on the industry? Here I rank all seven of their albums and my reasoning. If you enjoy this read please take a look at my other posts and share this blog on your socials.  Twitter handle: @AdBartTheSecond     7) Suck It And See - 2011 James Ford Whatever record came bottom of my list I'm sure there will be some who disagree and I fully understand because really AM haven't made a bad   record have they? For me Suck It And See is the one I just ...
