So I have Red Hot Chili Peppers on my mind. I remember when I first heard of them, friends kept telling me about "Fight Like a Brave", and said I had to check it out. I listened to it and shrugged. I forgot about them until their Mother's Milk album came out. "Higher Ground" came on the radio, and it was like a slap. That song always kicked off massive activity of chair slamming in the CAD department mosh pit. We all listened to the same station, and when a high energy song came on we would kick off from our desks, propelling our chairs outward until we slammed into someone else. Frenetic chair slamming activity would ensue until the song was over, then we rolled ourselves back to our lovely plines and arcs.

So the Red Hot Chili Peppers have continued to mature in their music style, and I'll point to their Californication album as proof. Today's song of the day is "Other Side."

"How long how long Will I slide?
Seperate my side I don't
I don't believe its bad
Slit my throat
it's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never changed my mind
I gotta take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spilling my guts
She want's to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long, how long Will I slide
Seperate my side I don't
I don't believe its bad
Slit my throat
it's all I ever

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that It's not my friend
I tear it down, I tear it down
And then it's born again"
