Red Mosquito

Lets start with this video....cool moment.

I kinda hate this band now.

I don't think they have an album that I like front to back. The closest would be Mother's Milk or Blood Sugar Sex Magic I guess. Those are kinda fun if I'm in the right mood. They usually have a couple good songs per album. At least in the '89-'99 period. It would have made a better Jane's song but I always loved the song Warped on the Navaro album. Show Me Your Soul has my favorite Frusciante solo. That's about it.

I have fond memories of their mellow stuff, like "Breaking The Girl" and "My Friends". Their "funky" stuff, not so much.

I've never been able to connect with this band beyond a couple of songs.

One Hot Minute is hands down their best album

BSSM is their masterpiece but I have a soft spot for Californication. OHM has a few tasty treats but a lot of meh.

Anthony`s book is such a fun read.

I can't bring myself to do it. Highlights?

pretty much everything. Im a really big fan of the mofo uplift era..cool moments with Jackie Irons and Hillel.

And the Navarro era is also a strange but good moment of the band.

I'm down with this, though I think all those records still have major down spots ("By the Way" is probably the strongest overall). The sex-funk side of their business just isn't something I ever got into, and anything not from this era doesn't interest me at all (I attempted to listen to "What Hits?" one time and couldn't get through it). A well-made mix from these four albums (and including "Soul to Squeeze") would be exquisite.

Gong Li is another outtake that ranks above their best work.

Thats a beautiful song.

BSSM and Californication always come to mind when probed about some of my all-time favorite albums.

When's the last time you were probed?

I can never figure out what he is saying in that song about looking through blinds or shades or something. It is irritating.
