Jan 2, 05 - 1:36 PM 		Stuff: Johnny Depp's short on John Frusciante

As a New Year's present to all of you who have inquired, I am making it easier to find this text (I know it's hidden in the mire I call my site):

This is under Pop TV about VH1's Behind the Music:

Added 3/04: A few people have inquired about a documentary Johnny Depp made about John Frusciante. This is what I know about it (I found the info at the RCHP website): "The short movie, 'Stuff', came out shortly before Niandra [Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt orig. released in 1994 and re-released in 1999] was released to promote John's debut solo album. It was produced by Johnny Depp and Gibby Haynes (from the Butthole Surfers), and contains a cameo by Timothy Leary. It's basically an abstract tour of John's house that later on burned down. It was distributed as a promo by American Visuals (American Records)." You can dl it at The John Frusciante Tablature Archive. The description of the film adds this comment about "Stuff" - "the film's main purpose seems to be depicting the chaos of John's life." I have to say I am getting a little drained just thinking about it. There is lots of info about the man at John Frusciante's official site.

Unbelievably, I only recently got around to watching Stuff. I think the last time I tried to dl it from the aforementioned site 2 years ago or so, it was really slow so I gave up. And I sort of forgot about the fact that I hadn't seen it yet.

Anyway, it runs for 11'38" and had a Harmony Korine sensibility to it. I liked John Cale's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as it ran over the end credits. John Frusciante is only in it for a a few seconds it seemed. Tim Leary is in it for the same length of time. It is mostly somewhat looped footage of a very messy abode with music playing over it. JF speaks for a bit - lyrics? a poem? not sure. The coolest thing is that it is available for the curious at The John Frusciante Tablature Archive so you can review it firsthand.

Lightbulb. With the advent of youtube.com in 2/05, it has become incredibly easy (and satisfying) to watch whatever you missed. This includes Stuff:
