It’s hard to say goodbye, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers make the most of it in the video for “Brendan’s Death Song,” directed by Marc Klasfeld. The song, from the band's current album, "I'm With You," is exactly what the title describes: a goodbye to the band’s friend Brendan Mullen. He ran the Masque, a Hollywood club that gave the band one of its first gigs. The video, shot in New Orleans, takes on the feel of a very somber second line, complete with carnival masks, a funeral procession, lovely outfits and emotional, beautiful vocal from lead singer Anthony Kiedis,...

New clip is a tribute to artist Raymond Pettibon, who helped shape the L.A. punk scene the band grew up in.

When I first interviewed the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in June, frontman Anthony Kiedis made it a point to wear his now-ubiquitous Off! cap (the same one he'd wear in their "Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" video), a tribute to the punk supergroup made up of members of Black Flag, Red Kross and Rocket From the Crypt, to name just a few.
The reason I mention that now is because the Peppers just premiered the video for "Monarchy of Roses," the second single from their I'm With You album, a stark, surging, (mostly) black-and-white thing very much indebted to the work of artist Raymond Pettibon, who made his mark designing album covers,...

'Brendan's Death Song' is a tribute to longtime friend (and L.A. icon) Brendan Mullen.
By James Montgomery
Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' I'm With You is the kind of album that comes with plenty of good stories — everything from the lengthy hiatus that preceded it to the departure of stalwart guitarist John Frusciante and the rejuvenation that came with the addition of new ax-man Josh Klinghoffer. Shoot, even first single "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" and I'm With You's title come with rather sizeable preambles.
But on an album brimming with backstories, none is as poignant as the tale attached to "Brendan's Death Song," an ode to the Chili Peppers' longtime friend (and L.A. legend) Brendan Mullen, who not only gave the band their first break, but co-wrote the book that documented their first 25 years. And, when he died...

The Forum — the slightly decrepit, strangely Roman arena on the corner of Manchester and Prairie in Inglewood, California — first opened its doors on December 30, 1967, and has, in the years that followed, played host to both the "Showtime" Lakers and the Gretzky Kings, not to mention just about every L.A.-area concert you've ever heard of, or were too drunk to remember. Parts of Led Zeppelin's live How the West Was Won were recorded here, as were live albums by Cream, Steppenwolf, the Bee Gees and P-Funk, to name just a few.
Over the course of its existence, it's been known alternately as "the Fabulous Forum," "the Los Angeles Forum" (even though it's in Inglewood) and,...

Welcome to The Television Balcony, where I'll be bringing you the obscure or overlooked big-screen exploits of small-screen stars. We're opening the Balcony with a screening of What We Do Is Secret, an independent film starring Shane West (currently featured on The CW's Nikita) as the charismatic lead in the real-life story of a legendary punk rock band.
On paper, What We Do Is Secret (2007) is like my own special version of hell: a biopic about a genre of music I can't stand fronted by an actor whose work I hardly know. In reality, however, it's one of the best obscure films I've seen in a long while, centered around one of the best individual performances I've ever seen.
Given anyone that I've taken an interest in on the small screen, I'm more interested in the small movie they did years ago than the big blockbuster. This time, it's Shane West's fault.

On paper, What We Do Is Secret (2007) is like my own special version of hell: a biopic about a genre of music I can’t stand fronted by an actor whose work I hardly know. In reality, however, it’s one of the best obscure films I’ve seen in a long while, centered around one of the best individual performances I’ve ever seen.
I love TV on DVD, but my secret passion is for the obscure films that my love of TV inevitably leads me to watching. The ones no one’s ever heard of that went direct to video or got lost in the shuffle.
