Hey People!

I'm updating my blog because I haven't done so in a while. I live in Seattle now, I just ate a Skinny Cow, and I'm watching the office. The random word for the day is flibbertigibbet. See ya!

Why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the greatest band in the world!

There is really no way to describe just how amazing the Red Hot Chili Peppers are. There is no way to accurately convey how much the Red Hot Chili Peppers mean to me. There is also no way I can just sit here and not let everyone know what they are missing. If you don't have every single album, you are missing out on something amazing. Here is a brief bullet-point look at why you should love RHCP.

1. The music is amazing, and that's really what it comes down to. Ranging from rock to funk, funk to rap, rap to alternative...their musical library is insanely diverse. You will like at least a handful of their songs, no question.

2. Each band member is completely unique. You'd never find a more eclectic group of people in a band if you looked the world over. It's these unique and vastly different personalities that allow the band to create such diverse and original music that absolutely blows you away.

3. The live performances. Now, I've never been to one in person, which I very much hope to do, but I've seen several recorded versions of their performances. The energy is unmatched, the chemistry is undeniable, and the music flows so organically through every solo, every verse, and every crazy dance move.

4. The story of this band is crazy. Through so many hardships, such as drugs, death of friends and band mates, repeated trips to rehab clinics, and near death experiences, they still managed to become who they are today. Their lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, was only chosen as the front man because of his energetic dancing, not his voice. All things considered, it is truly remarkable.

This is as simple as I could possibly put it, but I could easily expound on each point. Only by listening can you understand exactly why the Red Hot Chili Peppers are so amazing. Speaking of which, here are some tracks to listen to, listed by album. Take a listen, fall in love.

Hello!

I totally forgot about my blog! Not that I have anything that I really want to say. Perhaps this is why I haven't done anything with this blog. What does blog mean? Who thought of that word? Oh, thanks wikipedia! Blog is short for "web log." Could a spider spin a web log?
