Do you like the Red Hot Chili Peppers? To some, the response to that question is, “Duh, who doesn’t?”. Those would be the hardcore RHCP fans talking. But in many ways they are a divisive group, and one listen to their last “double” album “Stadium Arcadium” hopefully is all the evidence you need. It’s been 5 years since the band released a new album, and since then guitarist John Frusciante has left the band (again). There is a new member though, and that comes in the form of Anthony Kiedis’ moustache. I’m only kind of kidding on that. But Josh Klinghoffer is Frusciante’s real replacement, and their new album “I’m With You” is your chance to test his mettle vs. the brilliant Frusciante. August 29th is the official release date of the new record, but if you go to iTunes right now, you can stream the entire thing. You know, in case that’s something you’d like to do. For the rest of us, it’s all about the downloads, baby. Today’s Pick Your Poison highlights include tracks from The Duke and the King, Hella, Mint Julep, Netherlands, Sondre Lerche and Wiretree.
