]]> The Red Hot Chili Peppers “The Uplift Mofo Party Plan” released on this date, September 29th, 1987. RHCP’s third album went to #148 on the US chart and is the only record upon which all four original band members play on all the record’s tracks (and the last: guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose nine months later). It’s funky, of course, with a lot of metal guitar and swagger. They released “Fight Like a Brave” as a single (also on Sept. 29th ‘87; it did not chart) and then a few years later, in ‘92, released the mellow rocking, sitar-tinged (played by Slovak) “Behind the Sun” to help promote the What Hits!? comp; that single went to #7 on the US Modern Rock chart. My favorite track on The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is “Skinny Sweaty Man” – I’m pretty sure someone put this on a mixtape for me at some point back in the late 80′s (I didn’t have this LP in our collection until recently) – because it’s funny as hell. The singles are good, and I also like “Me and My Friends” and “Walkin’ On Down the Road” is OK, too. I’m not a fan of their cover of Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” – it’s pretty much unrecognizable from the original (that’s one of the few Dylan songs I actually like) nor do I care for “Party on Your Pussy” (for obvious reasons that track is listed on the album cover as “Special Secret Song Inside”).
