Here are my week two hundred and forty one recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
Drum roll please.....
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Give It Away
This week, we'll go for some funk or alternative rock with the legends that make up the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
The chillis are top of brain as I received Flea's autobiography for Christmas. I'm looking forward to reading that one. I got Joe Canning's autobiography too. Ticks the music box and sport box. She knows me well!
Ok, like with Tom Waits, I'm going to go album by album and we'll get started with 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
A quality album, and the first I heard from the boys from Los Angeles.
Here is Give it Away.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Breaking The Girl
Next up, is breaking the girl. This song explores themes of emotional pain, vulnerability, and the cyclical nature of hurt in relationships. Anthony Kiedis reflects on how people who have been wounded often pass that pain on to others, sometimes unintentionally. I think he's right on the money here and this certainly happens often in my opinion.
This description I found online sums it up pretty well:
"Musically and thematically, the song showcases the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ability to blend raw emotion with experimentation. John Frusciante’s subtle guitar work and Flea’s restrained bass playing emphasize texture over flash, supporting the song’s introspective nature. “Breaking the Girl” stands as an example of the band’s versatility, proving they could move beyond funk-rock bravado to create music that is deeply personal, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant"
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
The obvious finishing song would be Under The Bridge, but lets steer away from obvious for today and instead opt for Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
I love this song. It blends funk, rock, and psychedelic elements, driven by Flea’s elastic bassline and John Frusciante’s sharp, minimalist guitar work. Unlike traditional song structures, it feels loose and unpredictable, reflecting the spontaneous energy that defined the band during this era. The production, handled expertly by Rick Rubin, emphasises clarity and space, allowing each instrument to stand out while maintaining an edgy, live feel.
Rick has some knack for it as these other Rick Rubin produced albums show.
Beastie Boys – Licensed to Ill (1986)
Johnny Cash – American Recordings (1994)
Nirvana – In Utero (1993)
Metallica – Death Magnetic (2008)
System of a Down – Toxicity (2001)
Slayer – Reign in Blood (1986)
Kanye West – Yeezus (2013)
Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight (2007)
The Strokes – The New Abnormal (2020)
Right then, let's get to the music my friends....
Three Tune Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 241st week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below.

If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music.

Three Tune Tuesday Sponsors
We have a sponsor list of six people who selflessly offer HBI in addition to my one. They are as follows 
Due to a very busy life on my side, the winner posts often come after a delay and may come over 4 to 8 consecutive days. That's just how I do it, so please be patient while awaiting HBI and understand that only my 1HBI is guaranteed. The others are dependant on our lovely sponsors seeing these posts and sending on the HBI. That means some weeks winners may get 3 shares and other weeks they may get more.
Thanks a million to our sponsors above once again and any winners please bear in mind that some people only pop on here every few months, so be patient while waiting for the HBI.
Best of luck!
