Seen them - a sellout for us wrinklies. I forgot how good a guitarist Lindsay is and Stevie wore her hat. Very good indeed - I need to see more live music! John McVie excellent as always on Bass. Mick Fleetwood (62)is the spokesman - an excellent drum solo at the end.
On Jools this week - they said they wanted to get together to investigate their Blues roots.
Comprised of Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount), Jack White (of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs), Dean Fertita (of Queens of the Stone Age) and Jack Lawrence (of The Raconteurs and The Greenhornes)
Fever Ray is the title, of both the project and album by Fever Ray, aka Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of The Knife. It’s the culmination of work that began in 2007 when Karin and Olof, the brother-sister duo who are The Knife, decided to take time out following a handful of incredible live shows.
This album is full of angst but ultimately enriching.
1. If I Had A Heart 2. When I Grow Up - this is an amazing video
Air (sometimes spelled with all capital letters as AIR) is a French (from Versailles) music duo, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. The name AIR is a backronym for Amour, Imagination, Rêve which translates to Love, Imagination, Dream.
Allison Russell and Awna Teixeira. Hailing from Montreal and Toronto respectively, both women left untenable home situations at fourteen, found music instead of bad ends, and lived to sing the tales. The interplay between these two stunning performers is truly something to behold –
In the morning you go gunning For the man who stole your water And you fire 'til he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singing As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hanging And they put you on the street
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back, Jack, do it again
When you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two-timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one And she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smiling You'll be on your knees tomorrow
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back, Jack, do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gambling man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of milk and honey You must put them on the table
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back, Jack, do it again
This green island is like a boat, floating in the moonlight. My darling, you too are floating in the sea of my heart. Let the sound of my song follow the breeze, blowing open the curtain of your window. Let my love follow the flowing water, endlessly pouring out its feelings for you. The long shadows of the palm trees cannot conceal my love; the bright beauty of the moonlight casts its brilliance into my heart. This green island night is so calm and serene — my darling, why are you silent, saying nothing?
Thanks go out to my online friend MKWillis for reminding me of this one.
...Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor stories she could feel the ocean foam rise she saw its ragin' glory but he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man and Brandy does her best to understand...
Relentlessly highbrow, Haines’s dark-but-mischievous lyrics typically fall into three groups: musings on obscure Anglicana (The Mitford Sisters, Freddie Mills is Dead), bitter attacks on modern society, particularly the arts (The Death of Sarah Lucas, Christ) and twisted 1970s anti-nostalgia (Leeds United, Here’s to Old England) - with the odd dash of self-aggrandisement thrown in for good measure.
I like this - a lot. Haines has played at book signings for David Peace who was promoting The Damned United, a book on Brian Clough's brief tenure at Leeds United in the 1970s. Leeds United relates to this, and with the reference to the Yorkshire Ripper, to Peace's earlier Yorkshire/Red Riding Quartet. The refrain "The North! The North!" advances on the earlier Auteurs track The South Will Rise Again, itself a response to The N.W.R.A. by The Fall. The phrase "The North! The North! Where we do what we want! The North! The North! Where we do what we like" is also a quote from a character in the Red Riding Quartet.
My online friend em2wice turned me on to Mulatu Astatke just recently. So I thought I'd return the favor and put the word out. This is good stuff.
According to Wikipedia;
Mulatu Astatke (surname also spelled Astatqé) is an Ethiopian musician and arranger. He is known as the father of Ethio-jazz. Born in 1943 in the western Ethiopian city of Jimma, Mulatu was musically trained in London, New York City, and Boston, where he was the first African student at Berklee College of Music. He would later combine his jazz and Latin music influences with traditional Ethiopian music.
Kings of Convenience is an indie folk-pop duo from Bergen, Norway. Consisting of Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, the musical group is known for their delicate tunes, calming voices, and intricate and subtle guitar melodies. Øye and Bøe both compose and sing the songs.
The news that Thom Yorke had come to Los Angeles and formed a temporary supergroup with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was surprise enough to most Radiohead fans. Most were intrigued, but for those concerned with rock credibility it was like hearing that the chaps from Peep Show were taking a break to write a show with Jim Davidson, or that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall was collaborating with Bernard Matthews on a turkey burger.
.... the kinetic opener No Kind Words, a tale of going off the rails that sees hooks, chords and melodies tumble over each other with a gloriously frenzied intensity.
Frontman Orlando Weeks is a slight, self-conscious figure, but much of the Maccabees' appeal lies in his tremulous, keening vocal and heroically bad dancing. His ungainly hopping from foot to foot is easily forgiven on Can You Give It?, where the band's chiming, three-guitar assault recalls the spindly energy and dizzy joy of early James. Weeks looks overcome on old live favourite Precious Time as 4,000 hoarse voices bellow the band's words back at them, but recovers his panache for William Powers, a nervous stutter of a song that shares Arcade Fire's knack of being simultaneously epic and intimate.
By the encore of Love You Better, even the drums appear to be speaking in tongues. If the Maccabees got any more overexcited, you would be unwise to rule out the possibility of spontaneous combustion.
The Hot Rats is a cover band formed by Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey as a side-project from their main band Supergrass. The band is named after Frank Zappa's album Hot Rats.
My Granddaughter saw him recently live and is a new convert. I've posted him a couple of times before but its worth it again
Ian Brown is an English musician and former lead singer of the alternative rock band The Stone Roses. He is widely considered to be one of the pioneering members of the Manchester scene.
The single used a noticeably different mix of "She Bangs the Drums" to the album version. The hi-hat intro was omitted, and it featured a slightly heavier guitar sound and a marginally different backing vocal arrangement. This single version is the one most commonly used for compilations and radio play.
The CD and cassette singles were noted for their strong selection of B-sides: "Standing Here", "Mersey Paradise", and the backward playing track "Simone". It is noted for its fusion of Indie rock, and acid house genres. Ian Brown wrote the verse lyrics, while John Squire was responsible for the chorus.
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "She Bangs the Drums" at number 12 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.
I can feel the earth begin to move I hear my needle hit the groove And spiral through another day I hear my song begin to say Kiss me where the sun dont shine The past was yours But the futures mine Youre all out of time
I dont feel too steady on my feet I feel hollow I feel weak Passion fruit and holy bread Fill my guts and ease my head Through the early morning sun I can see her here she comes
She bangs the drums
Have you seen her have you heard The way she plays there are no words To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass Shell be the first shell be the last To describe the way I feel The way I feel
Have you seen her have you heard The way she plays there are no words To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass Shell be the first shell be the last To describe the way I feel The way I feel
Have you seen her have you heard The way she plays there are no words To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass Shell be the first shell be the last To describe the way I feel The way I feel
