MTV Streaming the Hangout Festival

Some confusion on whether or not Trey is performing on the live stream. MTV took it off their schedule. Looks like they are cock-blocking Trey and the bigger acts (Black Crowes, Tom Petty & Stevie Wonder). But, you can still see some other kick ass bands on two different channels over the next two days.

Anyway, line-up info here.

Watch it live-stream here:

Funky Monks, Scare Tissue, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers

I read Anthony Keidis' memoir, Scar Tissue, for a work project. Over at my main blog, I posted a review of the book titled Scar Tissue and Funky Monks. If you dig the Chili Peppers, then please check it out.

The embedded video below is Funky Monks, a documentary filmed by Flea's brother-in-law in 1991. It covers the period of time the band recorded Blood Sugar Sex Magik in the same mansion they crashed for several months in the Hollywood Hills that was supposed to be haunted and where Harry Houdini once lived.

Enjoy....
