Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood have reunited The Faces and they have something to say:

They've already recorded a new album!!

They also have a pretty amazing guy on bass: Flea!

The pair, who seperated when Ronnie ditched Rod for The Rolling Stones in 1975, reconnected for a quick little vacation around the globe. They stopped in Costa Rica, Bermuda and Miami. And then they recorded their new album in three days. 

Ronnie says "I had a great time. It wasn't so much a holiday but a mini-world tour."

And Ronnie confirmed that Flea will be their guest bass player.

Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante is recording his solo album, which will have guest appearances by Johnny Marr of Modest Mouse and Flea. The always soulful Frusciante explains his inspiration for the album:

"The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical in my approach, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music."

"I think an artist has to answer to whatever spirits are guiding him. Even if they're in conflict, that's OK."

Conflict is probably better. The gods of music are boring when they all get along.

By The Way, My Friends, Anthony Kiedis was almost on a Higher Ground this summer after his kidney turned into Scar Tissue and he needed a replacement; but doctors are more likely to Give It Away to non-drug addicts to Save The Population. They don't look fondly on Californication. Universally Speaking, Anthony's friends say the singer was Fighting Like A Brave after years of heroin and cocaine use damaged his organs:

"Anthony's health was pretty bleak. Organ failure was a possibility. There was talk of how to get him on a transplant list, to cover all the bases, but that opened up a whole new can of worms because people with histories of drug and alcohol abuse are less likely to receive the organs they need."

Anthony denies he needed a transplant, but not that he was in the hospital. So Suck My Kiss.

Good thing these subtitles have been added to the Under The Bridge video. I always thought the song was about like being lonely, and cruisin' around LA and stuff. 

Who woulda thunk??

Anthony Kiedis is speaking like god! Every girlfriend and wife and maybe someday girlfriend really should listen. You're relationship will be so much better. Chili God Speaks:

"The more time I spend in the ocean, the better off I am when I'm around (my son)."

"My goal for the year is to get better at surfing, which I think will make me a better father."

Exactly!! But it's not only better for daddies. If you're boyfriend wants to go surf -- let him! It'll pay off. Trust.

Flea's Malibu home is charcoal. It was torched in last weekend's Malibu fire. And the worst part is it was for sale. The Flea house, listed for $4.8 million, was described as "Set in a botanical paradise, this private 2.4 acre compound also features a newly refinished pool and spa, private alcoves and pathways throughout the grounds."

When Flea found out he sent a text to friends: "had burnt to a crisp".
