And it's time for a brand new discography project - and I told you I'd pick an uncool one! It's the funky monks the Red Hot Chili Peppers who, among many other things, were one of the very first bands I fell in love with. And that's a huge reason *why* I wanted to cover them, to explore what their discog means to me in 2026 and to balance the critical and nostalgic sides of myself.

I don't listen to them much these days but there was a period in my early teens when they were a daily presence in my CD player - and that's why I'm kinda hyped to revisit this stuff and see how both they and I have grown, warts and all. So we start from the beginning, with the scrappy and troubled self-titled debut: 1984's The Red Hot Chili Peppers, https://grumpfox.neocities.org/artists/rhcp#rhcp_rhcp

New review, and we return to the world of Manic Street Preachers for a bit to look at bassist Nicky Wire's second solo album, which appeared one July morning in Bandcamp and then has proceeded to kind of just exist. 2023's Intimism: https://grumpfox.neocities.org/artists/manics#nw_inti

This is going to be the last review for a couple of weeks as I've got some holiday travels coming up. June's reviews will see a new artist discography page pop up!

New review! Continuing with the R.E.M. gap fill, it's time to look at their era-celebrating Warner Bros period best of album - and its b-sides & rarities bonus disc. 2003's In Time: https://grumpfox.neocities.org/artists/rem#rem_it

New review up. When I did my R.E.M. runthrough a few years back I missed a couple of releases, so let's catch up on those. Starting with their one and only (partial) film score. 1999's Man on the Moon (Music From the Motion Picture): https://grumpfox.neocities.org/artists/rem#rem_motm
