Ma uitam si eu pe blogurile din bookmarks si vad un post cu o leapsa pe blogul lui Rekabu.... de pe 18 iunie... FAIL? y/y

Oricum, leapsa asta goes like this... (un copy-paste mic...aaaaaaaaaaaand)

'list seven songs you are into right now. no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to'

Si eu fiind bored si dornica de a mai tranti cateva melodii pe blog.... well, imi cer scuze daca o sa fie prea mult Manics

1. Manics - Born A Girl (pentru ca uneori imi zic 'i wish i were born a boy...')

2. Nicky Wire - Break My Heart Slowly (mi se pare mie sau domnul Jones nu prea are voce? ... totusi, asta nu inseamna ca nu o pot asculta pe repeat...revin... a zambit in directia mea cand urlam 'Niiiicky')

3. James Dean Bradfield - Emigre (in lupta albumelor solo e un 0-1 ptr Bradfield... si melodia asta poate nu o fi geniala si Bradfield e cu siguranta capabil de mult mai mult...dar... )

4. Birthday Party - Dead Joe (daaaaaaaark.... almost cacophonous...like post-punk should be)

5. The Horrors - Excellent Choice Alternative Story Version (adica prima varianta, aceasi melodia ca cea de pe album, dar alte versuri...versuri tot in stil reminescent The Gift. Si totusi asta parca imi place mai mult. cele trei voci, feleul in care alterneaza, accentele, refrenul....partea cu 'Leaches!Leaches!')

6. Danny Elfman - Little Things (de pe coloana sonora a Wanted. filmul e o porcarie, just for the record...but this soooong. Zici ca Elfman e un tinerel, nu unu de 50 de ani. Ce voce, domne)

7. Manics - I'm just a pantsy (ma gadeam la melodia NIN de pe OSTul Wanted...but fuck it.... )

Nuj pe cine sa tagguiesc.... Adica, trei cred ca stiu.... Claxoanele, baterista si domnul Red... dar restu' de patru?

Said she's going to L.A.

I like Manson.... as in Marilyn...not Charles... i mean, I don't if I'd like Charles. I never did try and see the pro's.... only the con's and that is not a good thing. Anyways, there was a point to all this... as in this post. I remembered I had a Misfits version of Ramones' 'The KKK Took My Baby Away' ... which in fact I don't have anymore. Well, I might have but I have no idea where it is. And I can't find it anywhere on the interwebs. Soooo... yeah, you get the point. On the other had, I found a version Manson did. Which gets us back to the beginning of tis post and my statement 'I like Manson'... and I like his cover of 'The KKK Took My Baby Away'. It was in fact the first time I actually understood what the lyrics say...besides the part with 'KKK took my baby away' ... yeah... this really makes me think of Exploited. Cause you never really understand what they say unless it's in the song's title....

oh, a mp3 of Manson's cover...yeah, suuuuure....

Marilyn Manson - The KKK Took My Baby Away

I also remembered how much I love Big Black's 'Kerosene'... and Misfits... so i'll throw two other songs... the named Big Black one and a song that was covered at a certain point by Metallica... yeah

Big Black - Kerosene
Misfits - Die, Die My Darling

Boy awaits return of the runaway girl...

Stiu, nu am mai scris nimic de muuult timp... Intre timp m-am lasat de 'Incest'-ul lui Anais Nin, am terminat ultimul Vargas Llosa si mi-am facut cruce incercand sa citesc 'Cum mi-am petrecut vacanta de vara' a lui T.O. Bobe (dar vai, nu o recomand nimanui...).

Am asculat pana la refuz Nuggets si alte muzici care l-ar face pe Bican sa zica 'Nance, dar ce muzica asculti...maine, poimaine te apuci si de jazz...'

Am ascultat pe langa Nuggets&Co. o formatie gigea si extrem de sympa din the much loved 80. Formatie numaita The Fuzztones, probabil specializati in coveruri Sonics, fac un garage psyche-rock de zici ca sunt the reincarnation a vreunei formatii din 60.

The Fuzztones - Green Slime
The Fuzztones - Strychine

Am intrat in posesia albumului din 2007 a unei formatii care o arde cu iubitii mei Horrors si al carui clapar chiar arata ca a a Horrors member, Soho Dolls. Nu sunt garage, punk sau psyche... sunt mai electro de felul lor. Chiar imi amintesc de domnul Corner si al lui proiect IAMX. Bun,bun, bun. As a random fact, au aparut pe coloana sonor a O.C-ului de New York, Gossip Girl. Now, this..i ain't sure it's that good.

Soho Dolls - Pleasures Of Soho

Last Shadow Puppets (da, da...formatia aia a lui Alex Turner) si-au lansat album de debut. L-am ascultat. Nu m-a impresionat. Imi plac unele melodii mult, fara altele as putea sa traiesc. I'll listen to it again someday and maybe i'll like it more.

The Last Shadow Puppets - Standing Next To Me

Ah, Hot Club de Paris are back...asa cum ii stiam pe Drop It Till It Pops... si am o varianta acustica assez sympa.

Hot Club de Paris - Boy Awaits Return Of The Runaway Girl

Si mai ii am pe lista de must listen pe domnii de la The Deadly Symdrome. Fac indie-pop cu piano, sugar, spice and everything nice. Suna bine and they put me in a good mood. They should be higher in my lastfm charts.

Deadly Syndrome - I Hope I Become A Ghost

And last, but not least. The Kabeedies. Or a tamed version of Blood Red Shoes. Dance-y as fuck. Nice boy-girl harmonies.

The Kabeedies Ep

Je sens la pluie, l'ocean et les crepes au citron

In meniul de azi... niscavai melodii numai bune de transformat in obsesii....

The new things de la Hatcham Social imi revin in atentie cu o nebunie de piesa cu chitari baggy si versuri repetate maniacal

Un remix Cheeky Cheeky and The Nosebleeds ma impresioneaza pana la repeat in winamp

Domnisoara George Pringle imi aduce a un LCD minimalist
(gimme moar gimme moar)

Australienii The Death Set ma ridica de pe scaun cu o melodie pretty bouncy and uplifting

Suedezii de la Lacrosse sunt prea sympa si sweet sa nu le mai ascult inca o data piesa de inceput a albumului This New Year Will Be For You And Me (2007)

Iar Louis Garrel...eh, Louis Garrel e un dulce cand ii spune lui Gregoire Leprince-Riguet 'j'ai traine comme un cretin'

Lips Red From A Bottle Of Wine

Vroiam sa scriu ceva... de fapt, vroiam sa scriu multe...

Incep cu mama. Mama mea. Prin ianuarie, mama a plecat la Paris. Mi-a cerut niste carti. I-am dat 2. The latest Beigbeder was one of 'em. I-a placut. Mai sa fie. Asa ca i-am promis de 8 martie 99 francs/19,90 lei/6,20 euro edition folio/cat o mai costa prin atle tari... She is currently reading that. Prin vara, mama vroia la o piesa pe Motoare. Hell dupa cartea onomina a Lolitei Pille. Am dus-o luna trecuta in Lapatarie la piesa respectiva. I-a placut. Mai vrea la piese de gen. Si vrea si pe Motoare. Acum stau si ma intreb daca s-o gasi in romana cartea. Tot mama umbla prin septembrie 2007 in Vansii mei...prin Lyon...pentru ca's comozi. Si acum ii mai poarta cand iese sa puna masina pe locul de parcare sau pana la paine. Si tot mama mi-a spus sambata ca muzica lui Pop Levi ii se pare pasnica. Eram cat pe ce s-o intreb daca vre un cd. Oricum i-am promis un cd cu Nouvelle Vague. Si un bilet la Cohen. Si o vizita pana in magazinul cu conversi de pe Strada Smardan. Ca i-au placut conversii din vitrina....

Ca tot vorbeam de Pop Levi ... una bucata melodie pasnica....

Pop Levi - (A Style Called) Cryin' Chic

Pop Levi este considerat a fi urmasul de dreot al lui Marc Bolan. Dar asta stiati, i'm sure... Tot urmas de drept al lui Bolan mai e considerat si americanul David Vandervelde... desi, sincer, mie imi miroase mai mult a Arcade Fire/Win Butler... eh, fiecare cu ale lui

David Vandervelde - Feet Of A Liar

Si am o intrebare. Daca Pop Levi e pasnic... cum e Sea Wolf?

Quickie: Cu Sea Wolf a fost dragoste at first play. Stiu, mi se intampla prea des. I am full of love, what can I do? Alex Church, frotmanul acestui outfit indie-pop din LA, face un folk 60ist cu influente usoare de electronica, cu tematici care amintesc ba de morbiditatea Misfits, ba de perioada medievala si care este la fel de trist ca Joy Divison si la fel ce catchy ca Interpol.

Sea Wolf - Black Leaf Falls

Bring yr own bombs

So...this a a completely pointless rant about how I hate Kim Stuart and Pixies and Peaches Geldof and how the fact that Klaxons are hanging out with them and going clubbing and stuff really makes me wanna crawl in my dark/emo corner and never come out... I mean... those three persons mentioned at the begining of the post are...well, hateable by default and whores (not h0rs...they probably want to be h0rs, but the real ones are seemingly not so on drugs as klackeys hence make fun of them...) and they are not worth hanging out and drinking and getting high with Klackeys. I honestly think Al Quida should focus all its energy on bombing them and their families and especially those who gave birth to them..end of rant...


------

Oh, this being a music blog, here are some song I like

The Rascals - Out Of Dreams
The Courteeners - No You Didn't, No You Don't
Amy Macdonald - Poison Prince
Rooney - Where Did Your Heart Go Missing

Wrote a song last night while I was sober...

I would love it if this post was about some new Strokes material... cause, quite honestly, I am sick of all "the rumours" saying that the guys are going to go in the studio at the end of 2008... But hey, one can't always have what one wants...

Those Dancing Day - Those Dancing Days

If You're Not Living On The Edge You Take Up Too Much Space

Fusesi tag-uita de Bjorker... ar trebui sa fac un top 15 al melodiilor care mi se par mi despresive (desi in momentul de fata mi se pare mai deprimant un outfit aiurea decat o melodie.. deh, shallow little me)... Imi pare rau, nu pot. 15 melodii mi se pare prea putin... asa ca ma enfichez si fac o lista... Here goes nothing... (tin sa mentionez ca asta e selectia selectiei... )

(incepem cu formatiile alea a caror intreaga discografie ma fac sa stau intinsa pe podea holbandu-ma la tavan)

System Of A Down - Aerials (yeah, I'm not mistaken...)

(daca nu le-ati ascultat pana acum si le vreti, stiti de unde sa le luati... nu de alta, da imi e lene sa uploadez atatea melodii..)

As da-o mai departe, da nu am cui... sad, innit? almost depressing...

Yrs truly...

As dormi incontinuu... honestly...

Ahah... figured it's a good way to post some funky fresh songs... fresh in my Winamp playlist, that is...

Robots In Diguise - Voodoo *utterly mind-blowing... the sheer thought that sometimes their bass player on tour is Noel Fielding makes me wanna play their music on repeat....*

Electrocute - I need a freak *damn, I love band names that spell out what the band is all about...*

Neon Plastix - Prick Tease *Doncaster, UK, electropopdisconuraveindiesomething...*

It's all these words, ideas and different arguments

It's a most wonderful thing to walk down the street at 6:45 am and listen to Patrick Wolf's Bloodbeat... however, it's a most frightening thing to hear Up The Bracket's start at the same early hour of the morning... full volume both

In other news... here are some songs I fancy...
and am too lazy to write a decent review...

Vincent Vincent and The Villains - Midnight *catchy.. in a Wolf Parade kinda way... quite difficult not to sing along while trying to imitate the lead's intonation*

the rumble strips-don't dumb down *60ish... enough said...*

Cazals - Poor Innocent Boys *garage rock... kinda like The Daze... just that Daze are better*

Band, band, band

Bands moment... 3 juicy ones....

1. White Williams.
Diverse little fuckers from the US of A. Actually, don't really know much about them, just that they're touring with Girl Talk and Battles. Song that impressed me:
New Violence


2. The Florists.
Indie/reggae/ska band from Sussex. Good vibe and nice lyrics. Bubbly music.
Stolen Love


3. Elle Milano.
Cynical bastards from Leicester. They make fun of the shallow and full of cliches pop world and the waaaay too pretentious indie universe. Good vocals (yelling, singing and speaking... all included), sharp rhythms, even melodic pop parts. Darlings of independent music zines like ArtRocker.
Swearing's For Art Students

Flat Beat

Nu mai imi e lene! Sa scriu, that is... ca in rest, am lene pentru aaaaall of you... The treatment? Vreo 6 ore de french electro ieri seara si o discutie about my exam (ala de luni) cu mama in Cora azi (in timp ce se auzea pe fundal Klaxons... aham, de la aia din Cora, nu din castile mele)... Asa ca I bring to you my fave tracks de aseara + azi... adicatelea... French house.... fuckery, ain't it?


Daft Punk - Something About Us

Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat *classic, classic, I tell you... and you must remember the video... *

SebastiAn - Ross Ross Ross

Cassius - The Sound Of Violence

Para One - Les soleils artificiels

Busy P - Chop Suey

Mr. Flash - Champions (feat TTC)

Surkin - And You Too

...and a bonus...

Teki Latex - Disco Dance With You (spank rock remix)

Weekend stuff...

My computer will have a 'hard attack' and I'm surfing MySpazz/LastFm for new bands... Here are some of my discoveries...

I'm really hyped about The Pan I Am. It's the new musical project of Edward Larrikin... It's kinda electronic, kinda acoustic (kinda Patrick Wolf... *coughs*.. did not mean that!)... and it just confirms the fact that Edward Larrikin is a bloody genius...


I'm also excited bout RipChord... not much, just that they're fuuuuun....they create fun pop songs... listen closely to the lyrics cause they're well written....
Lock Up Your Daughters

Rat Traps are sheer noise... and we like that... You can find the download for "New Flesh" here

The Voom Blooms are a good garage punk act... They have a punchy guitars-based sound and loads of energy....
The London Heads

Vidz

I feel like a hypocrite at times.. when i post vids on my blog... Cause I'm the kind of person who doesn't watch vids because they don't get scrobbled on Lastfm... However, I'll keep on posting vids... here are some...

Van She -Kelly



The KBC - Not Anyone

Pull Tiger Tail - Mr 100Percent

Acid Never Dies

Categoria "Fun tracks of the week":

Riot In Belgium – La Musique (Adam Sky Remix) *as fi pus originalul... da' singura varianta pe care am gasit-o nu merge...O_o*
Pentru simplul fapt ca cei doi australieni reusesc sa faca melodii memorabile, care iti ramana intiparite pe timpan.

Dragonette – The Boys
Pop. Spun ca vor sa faca fun tracks and that’s it. Nu ne deranjeaza. We’re actually very happy with it.

We Are The Physics – This Is Vanity
Are un aer de anthemic rock track. Half way through te prinzi ca ai deaface cu a bloody brilliant dance-rock band.

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.

I got bored

I am bored and have nothing better to do... So, I say "mixtape"...

Mixtape 1


1. 586 - We Got Bored (mental song, mental video, tragi-comic, you say?)

2. BoNO Must DIE - We're Better Than You (nu mai stiu de unde am auzit, dar erau mentionati in aceasi fraza cu SHITDISCO... nu prea departe de stilul scotienilor... dupa nopti de cautat, am gasit BoNO MUST Die.... sunt buni si merita sa fie semnati)

3. I Was A Cub Scout - Oh! What A Fiasco!

4. Mumm-Ra - Clocks Tick Louder At The Dead Of Night ( melodia datorita careia am ajuns sa ascult eu un pic prea mult Mumm-Ra... )

5. Jamie T - Salvador (una dintre melodiile cele mai reusite a lui Jamie, the boy has got class )

6. The Holloways - Generator (noul single al grupului britanic, videoclipul e o mizerie, iar melodia nu da pe diafara de originalitate dar o salveaza the bubbling sound )

7. Interpol - No I In Threesome (e o melodie monumentala, probabil my fave (Interpol) track of the moment... )

8.The Bishops - The Only Place I Can Look Is Down (punkish, catchy, cu un sound solid, good vocals... )

9. Digitalism - I Want I Want (Digitalism merita toate laudele posibile, iar melodia asta e una dintre preferatele mele de ceva timp... I just want the world to listen to it at the same time)

10.The Twang - Wide Awake ( zic ca's influentati de the baggy movement... aduc nitel a Happy Mondays &co. Poate prea mare hype-ul facut de NME pe seama lor,,dar they do have that certain thing )

11.Tilly And The Wall - Freest Man

12.Justice feat Uffie - The Party ( justice... what more can you ask?)

13.The Whip - Muzzle No. 1 (suna sexy, suna al naibii de bine si pe alocuri al naibii de popish...)

14.Hadouken! - Liquid Lives ( intr-o descriere a formatiei, ziceau ca vocalul se ocupa de 'mouth mistakes'... eu zic ca's foarte reusite those mouth mistakes si ca merita ascultate pe repeat)

15.Matt Pond P.A. - City Song ( am citi despre ei in Mojo Mag acum vreo 2 ani... nu i-am ascultat prea mult desi mereu mi-am dorit, in special dupa ce am facut o obsesie pentru melodia asta)

16. Scissors For Lefty - Lay Down Your Weapons

17. Special Needs - Motorbikin'
