Freaky Styley I'll have to admit, The Up Lift Mofo Party Plan & Freaky Styley are my two fave RHCP albums. This is the RHCP I know. I have great memories of cranking this stuff at my print shop graveyard job back in the late 80's, doing a groovy headbang at the light table with a Malbro cigarette & a 7/11 Big Gulp in front of me. Enjoy my good friends enjoy... The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

It's hard to imagine a viable alternative music culture without the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the helm. That is true. With that being said, you probably know how I feel about the commercialization of their music and the homogenization that occurred in their sound after the single "Under the Bridge" transformed them into corporate cash cows.

Gong Li is one of my favorite b-sides and it brings me back to a time when I was living in San Antonio around the time Californication was released.
