Echos from the other world

Mi-am amintit ca ii vad in some 20+ days... OMGOMGOMGOMG! Desi Klaxons imi par formatia perfecta pentru small venues (and, oh boy, did they rock that venue in Lyon... :D:D:D:D), i'll settle for a small crowd/fest thing this time...

Vin cu completari... pentru cei interesati, desigur....Citeam ca pe setlistul de la gigul din Conventry (a se vedea vidul de mai sus), melodiile noi au fost:

- HOODOO BORER (le place la baieti titlurile dubioase, nu zic nu)
- VALLEY OF THE CALM TREES
- SILVER FOREST
- ECHOS (da, fara e... as in sound... nu ecou...pfffff... )
- VENUS

Deci, poate curand si un albumul ala mult asteptat
....


Vorbeam acum cateva zile cu a good friend, si el fanatic al clacsoanelor. Evident, amandoi cu aceasi problema: impactul muzicii lor asupra publicului romanesc si cati ca noi mai sunt out there. Eu imi pun teeul luat de la concertul din Lyon, cu blugi rosi skinny si bummed converse...el teeu' lui new rave/80ist cel mai probabil...ne tragem outfituri de descreierati. O sa repetam versurile inainte just in case si alte faze. Dar cativa vor mai fi ca noi? Doi, trei?

It's like xmas all over again

See, singles are coming out... (p)reviews (ah, NME , ce imi faci tu mie... ) , fake reviews (eventually, o sa imi fac si pe Forever Delayed -forum.oficial.Manics - cont... )... Albums will soon come out(4th of May, 11th of May, 1st of June, 8th of June, God Knows When of '09)....

But first...

*Coughs*

Noul single The Horrors... Sea Within A Sea... HUUUUUUGE!!! Indeed, blabla, no more garage gimmicks, blabla, doamne de ce imi amintesc in halul asta de Stone Roses?, blabla, vai sunt geniali, blabla, ce cauta Rhys la bas si Tom la orga, blabla, more MBV plz kthnxbai... Ptr further details, go here (una bucata mp3 pe moca, ca's baieti sympa - ai de capu' meu, Rhys, mama, da' de ce esti atat de bun???)

Noul Placebo... Battle For The Sun..noooooooow, hm, hm... a grower, yes. Like Meds was, yes. Sunt nitel cam enervante repetitiile, ajungea sa zica de 3 ori, sa se auda like an echo, sa fie mai incet, sa nu fie deloc, cum preferati... eu zic 3X, like an echo. Toborasul e bun, saracu, vai de mama lui, tre sa replace Hewitt, how the fuck do you do it when we all still are in grief cause Hewitt left the band? Dar baiatu' e bun. Instrumentalul e divin, liric vorbind, Molko nu mai face ce facea pe vremuri (evident, coae, se putea muuuuult mai bine). Zicea Molko ceva de un album optimism, seeing the light in the darkness blablabla...But, seriously, optimism is not what we want from Placebo (ca doar ne-au invatat cu altele...)...desi, intelegem, ce sa say, they are middle-aged, crissis, decapotabile alea-alea.... Bref, mp3 disponibil pe siteu' oficial placeboworld.co.uk , ca da bine la CV.

In alta ordine de idei, asteptam cu entuziasm primul single de pe bomba Manics de anu' asta... produs de Steve Albini si cu Wire beat-boxing... 4real!

Do It Again!

Acum vreo doua seri eu si tanti baterista ne holbam la teveu'... same time, same channel, different places... de unde stiu? pai, ieri ii spuneam ca am deschis si eu televizorul la 11 noaptea si am dat de vidul asta, videoclip care mi-a reamintit how much i love Brian Molko... reactia: "ha, si eu tot atunci l-am vazut"....



Tot cam acum doua zile, am ramas cu gura cascata ascultand melodia asta
The Chemical Brothers - Battle Scars (Feat. Willy Mason).mp3
Dom'ne, how can I say it? Vocea lui Willy Mason suna bestial pe instrumentalul electro. It is officially my second favourite track from "We Are The Night" (prima va las pe voi sa o ghiciti... *whistles*).

We have stones and pachets of herbal tea!

(ma plictisesc asa ca imi vin idei de cum sa scriu bout bands... categories! they are the new shit! asta voi face acum... behold)

Fun tracks of the week:

Washington Social Club – Jarvis Cocker
Dance you down… its lyrics are funny enough and you can act goofy while dancing… and most importantly, you can dance…

Thieves Like Us – Fass
Optzecista pana la ultima clapa a synthului. Ca bonus, a whiplash sound.

Xerox Teens – My Favourite Hat
Do I hear something like a muzicuta? Usor maniacali. Coined as ‘nu-rave’… as zice dance-punk. No one can look good while dancing on their music. However, we’ll all do it.

Bands to be high in my weekly chart… erm… this week:

The KBC
Englezi. 20 -21 de ani. Din prima clipa in care i-am auzit, am stiut ca they are meant for greater things. Cu o combinatie superba de house, disco si rock. Fac genul de muzica care te forteaza sa te ridici de pe scaun si sa dansezi. exact, infectious!

Poisonous Emblem

The Mary Onettes
Sunt suedezi. Suna optzecist, dar nu la modul dance-indie, ci datorita sunetului de guitar pop specific acelor ani. Ma duc cu gandul al Echo&The Bunnymen, Jesus & Mary Chain si chiar Smiths. Atat vocal cat si instrumental. Sunt grand si dreamy si sunt the closest Labrador will get to stadium rock.

Void

French electro kinkiness:

Teenage Bad Girl
Recunosc, nu mi-au placut cand le-am auzit prima data melodia “Cocotte”. Acum ii ador. Doi francezi, un mix de Aphex Twin , Daft Punk (pai se putea), chiatri distorstionate si melodii schizoide. Kinky all the way.

Cocotte

Classics:

Hot Chip – Sanfrandisco
In iubitul stil Hot Chip, dreamy si perfect… all filler, no killer – cum zic chiar cei 5 britanici.

Ah... la classe...

*i'ma do a little French talk right now, so excuse me...*


ah, mais regardez-le... ah...la classe... l'attitude... le style... il est trop con... Il est James de Klaxons... et il porte un tee-shirt avec Dr. Dre (comme d'hab... je fait de la merde et je mets de n'importe quoi avec ces mecs sur mon blog... il faut que je m'arrete... c'est pas drole... pour les autres, bien sur... moi, je m'amuse bien.... )

aaaaand, a little bonus to drool all over the downloads window... it was bound to happend... it is fantastic... it's the clash of the stars... you'll be saying 'use me, show me the jacuzzi'.... trop con....

The Chemical Brothers feat Klaxons - All Rights Reversed

I'll just spread the word

I won't say anything about The Tangles...Tina introduced them to me...she even recced them on her blog... so I'll just spread the word this time...I love them too much not to...on their site, you can find the entire demo album and a video...enjoy...
.

Dan, u there

To quote Bican: "Funny fucks"....

(Klaxons on the G-couch...Gonzo, baby!)

Lyrics of the evening, favourite weapon of choice....

And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths.
and Morrissey.
And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.
But when I say let's keep in touch,
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mix tape.
It's short just like your temper,
But somewhat golden like the afternoons
We used to spend before you got too cool.

You and me were kings over the
parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever
while we walk around this town
like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer
like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up(wake
up)it's time to get down"

And when I pass the bottle back
to Pete on the overpass tonight,
I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen
(new haircut)
to anyone about anything
(new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and
it's all been said
(eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we
take what we can get
(wait forever)

Just jealous cause we're
young and in love
You're just jealous cause
we're young and in love

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

Is that what you call a getaway?!!
Tell me what you got away with!!
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!
Have another drink and drive yourself home!!
I hope there's ice on all the roads!!
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield!!


So I update this almost every single day for you
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you do
Go tell him how my wrist is sore
from pulling at your insides all night
Nothing that you do is new to anything or anyone but you.....
