for those complaining of a lack of recognisable bands on here, this is for you. but actually it's more for me: i couldn't resist. last night after a few wines i got a little ahead of myself on the ol' listening front, and we ate cake and cranked 'blood sugar sex magik' which, if i had to pick one, is my favourite chilis album.
this morning i could have chosen diversity, but instead i chose more chilis. 'live in hyde park' is one of my favourites - mostly because it really makes the most of my favourite chili pepper (see 'j') and his striking voice. it's also fun cos it's a bit like a 'best of' but with different (better?) songs (tracks from 'bssm', 'californication', 'by the way' - 'one hot minute' and 'mother's milk' omitted due to various frusciante hang ups...) and a number of other little treats thrown in including drum medleys, trumpet solos, and covers, such as this adorable little ditty:
one of my absolute favourites of all time. i tried to find a live in hyde park version, but instead found one from some german rock festival. i would add quick postcript here: does this video maybe illustrate that john is a better singer than anthony? (woah, controversial ren.) either way, this is glorious.
