It's Red Hot

I can't contain the excitement any longer... Red Hot Chili Peppers are releasing their tenth studio album on 30th August according to founding member and lifetime shenanigan lover Flea aka Michael Balzary.

Not only do we already know this next album will be titled "I'm With You" we also know that without any surprises John Frusciante has stepped out (back in 2009) of the band and Josh Klinghoffer has filled the guitarists shoes.

I'm a little surprised the album is coming out so soon with so many extra curricular activities that have taken place since the boys announcement of their extended hiatus back in 2007.

Anthony Kiedis is now a family man to son Everly Bear as well as experimenting with a television series for HBO based on his #1 autobiography Scar Tissue.


Flea got seriously stuck into the books taking up music theory at USC. He has also been dabbling in some solo recordings from the comfort of his own home.

Drummer Chad Smith not only has 5 kids to chase after, but also decided to get back together with the band he was with prior to being coaxed to play with the Chili Peppers called Chickenfoot. They too are planning to release an album this year.

Newcomer Josh Klinghoffer recently composed the music for the film Bob and the Monster which is a documentary detailing the turbulent life of Bob Forrest.

30th August 2011 could honestly not come soon enough!

You've Got The Love

Described by The Times as “the most peculiar and most highly acclaimed female singer of the moment” there is no doubt on why I want to share this clip with you all. "a bundle of nerves and passion, of darkness and pure joy.”

Suffering from both dyslexia and dysmetria, Florence Welch is the front woman and supernatural voice of Florence and the Machine. Explaining that she does most her song writing when drunk or hung over, her pure motivation is emotion .

Lungs was released this year, with Welsh explaining the eclectic lyrics as “about love – and pain. People see my lyrics as crazy, but to me it’s an honest, heartfelt album. I didn’t set out to be wacky. I just want it to be emotive.”

By far my most favourite artist of now
(I am probably a few months behind some of you)
please enjoy...
