Fantastic! I have Ataxia, a rare neurodegenerative disease which has made walking very difficult. I stumbled (no pun intended) upon this video searching for fellow Ataxians. Mr. Frusciante's written a gorgeous song here. I hope I can find it on vinyl. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.
Just purchased Ataxia II on vinyl from ebay. There's also some Ataxia CD's, but I can never get those damn things to work on my turntable ;-) Maybe I need a different type of stylus?
yeah, they were a band for about 2 weeks, john frusciante, joe lally, and josh klinghoffer made up the band, the album called automatic writing refers to the style they were writing which basically means, they sat down and gave no thought at all as to what they were doing, anyways, thats probably more than you asked for, but great band.
yeah i wasnt liking the version i heard from my friend. he told me that they made the band when john was having huge problems with heroin and they locked themselves in his apartment with nothing but heroin and water and made an album. his version sounded kinda sketchy
On the one hand they could have been taking advantage of John in his bad state or they could have been trying to pull him out of his crisis through music...its very strange.
Ataxia was first formed in 2001 or 2004, Im not too sure on those dates, and those were the periods when John was back with the Peppers, and therefore clean (or we hope so at least). So will11167111 version cant be right. But they definetly are a great band.
Yeah, youre right about that. I can sort of tell, althought it sounds farfetched, but pretty much all of there songs have a repeated bassline and I assume that the rest of the songs are built around that, therefore making the song production fairly 'automatic' lol. Do you see what I mean?
this song should be so much longer.. usually four mintues or more drives me nuts of unexplainable reasons, but this time, ten wouldn't have been enough!
I get high to this song daily.

Im not quite sure if that saddens me or not.
