Tonight we beg the question

Teoria pe care vreau sa v-o prezint in continuare poate soca pe multi. De fapt, cu siguranta o va face. Mai ceva ca niste versuri cum ar fi ‘He’s a boy/you want a girl/so tear off his cock/tie his hair in bunches/fuck him, call him Rita if you want’. Recunosc. Imi place la nebunie sa sochez.
Se intampla prin 1989. Un semiotician pe numele sau Leonard Meyer avansa in cartea sa ‘Style and Music’ o teoria re-vo-lu-tio-na-ra. Cica, CICA compozitia muzicala ar fi influentata de istorie si ideologie. In mare zic. Nu vrea sa intru in detalii. Stiu, e deja prea mult pentru o singura fraza si deja simt cum mi-am pierdut o parte dintre cititori.
In 2007, un adept al acestui Darwin al semioticii muzicale ne spune ca teoria respectiva e cam ignorata, dom’ne. Stiu ce veti spune. Ar fi si revoltator sa fie considerate relevanta!!! Adica, cum? Sa ascultam toti nebunii? Ar fi ca si cum am accepta evolutionismul nebunului alalalt! Dar va rog, lasati-ma sa termin. Amicul nostru ne prezinta cartea si ne implora sa ii dam o sansa. E esential pentru o analiza completa a unei compozitii muzicale sa cunoastem putina istorie, niste ideologii, niste concepte filosofice. Si, desi pare surprinzator, am fost convertita. Acum, si eu cred ca contextul in care a fost creata o piesa muzicala si ideologiile celor ce au scris-o sunt extrem de importante.








Meanwhile, in another world, Legs McNeil, Jon Savage, Nick Kent and Simon Reynolds are all backslapping Meyer and music semioticians in general. The music press is cheering!
Also, as vrea sa primesc o explicatie de ce toti semioticienii pizdii ma-sii, de la Nattiez la Meyer si Barthes s-au blocat toti in muzica clasica… De ce Savage nu s-a apucat sa faca un studiu de caz cu instrumente ale semioticii pe Sex Pistols spre exemplu? Nu ca imi era mai usor sa fac referatu’ ma-sii acuma?

Erm....

That has to be the smartest title I have ever given a blog... Anyways, nu stiu daca e bine sa o zic acum sau aici... cert e ca de cand am hotarat, about a week ago, i'm all hyper si as vrea sa dau acum examenul ala... My mother uttrely distrusts me... I am not suprised at all... She has always been like this concerning such matters... Erm, yeah... *coughs**hands behind her back**rocks on her feet nervously*...

Dau la jurnalism... adica... aici... adica... in Romania... vorba lu' boske... "Acum esti a noastra"

Fried Thoughts

Spring is gone, summer's here... Oh, Kitty, yr face so forsaken, crushed by the way that you cry... imi fac un tea in gincups si ma asez la birou sa ma bronzez uniform... soarele ma asteapta cu o insolatie... si eu o astept pe mama... pun cana de la filtru de cafea in frigider, plina cu apa si pliculete de Earl Grey... no honey... Ladybug Transistor se potrivesc destul de bine cu this moment in time and space...

Packing Dillemas

Why are all my H&M bags so huuuge? Why do I have so many pairs of Converse? Why does one need so many clothes in order to be hip? Why do I have to wash my towles home, in Romania?

Uptade of previous post: well, Arcade Fire have canceled 9 shows...among which the one on Saturday in Lyon...so, on Saturday I won't have to be depressed...However, I still hate the guts of that fets, Les nuits des fourviers...Lou Reed is playing on the 3rd of july...and I...well, I am NOT in Lyon....nooooo....!!!

It's just my inability to think outside the box


I guess I just love pop textures..and teenish UK bands...I came across this one on This Is Fake DIY...a free download...It's funny..I could listen to it all day...The bands name: The WOMBATS...the song: "Patricia The Stripper"...it's a funny love-story...He, in love with Patricia...suffering because she doesn't love him back....I love it...I love these guys cause they have so funny lyrics..."She's my coked-up botox girl"....and because there's a certain scent of despair in the lyrics....But hell, they are funny....

I’ll just have to explain myself….

Why do I HATE the so-called Ro punk acts of the likes of EMIL and PCC and Los Pogos…Because they are based on a stupid love for Green Day(it’s just like someone would make a band because they want to be like Borrell)…Because they are nothing like that punk I love…

How’s the punk I love? It belongs in Greenwich Village next to Warhol and Velvet….Its bands are either self-destructive (Velvet, Sex Pistols, Libertines, Nirvana, Joy Division) or try their best to resist as a band (Strokes, Interpol, Television). Because there is a clash of huge egos, at times too much drugs and alcohol involved…The punk I love is a form of art…It fits in any museum of modern art…It attacks yr senses…visual, auditive…It makes you feel you’re in some kind of physical danger…And you’re not getting alive out of it…It’s poetic…Poetry instead of lyrics as Morrissey and The Smiths imposed it…It’s sensible…it’s daring, you thought of it but never had the guts to say it…THAT way… It’s cultured and refined like Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand…It mixes all the instruments you would’ve never thought of like Win Butler and his Canadian gang do…Its guitars are whipping, its bass is dazzling just like Rakes love it so…It takes a bit of all those dubious stuff like French funk and rave and influences from William Burroughs (!!! ou peut-etre un peu de Klaxons)….It’s dark and gloomy and has reminiscences of Siouxsie and the Banshees….It’s a bleeding fashionista…Because punk without fashion would be nothing….It can be heavily influenced by electro(the likes of LCD Soundsystem, God bless his NY arse), it can be kitschy like the playlist from Studio 54(Oh, yeah…Rapture, baby) or it can just share the sassy attitude of funk(all you folks, take yr Gang Of Four cds from under yr pillows)….It’s image-bassed, because all punk bands used image to convey messages…whether it was a video or the clothes they wore or how they acted on stage…(and yes, to me, a dude wearing yucky Addidas shoes is NOT a punker…)…Most of the times, its bands have seriously studied an instrument or more…and if not, they graduated from something like Comparative Lit or Theatre….Beaux-Arts is even better…

What is it about? About all these things…Fuck the whole ‘punk is just about being yrself and doing what you like’ thingy…Imagine Rotten not wearing ripped clothes on stage…Or Doherty not listening to the manager of Libertines when she told them to write some tunes that resembled The Strokes’ music…ha…Most times, punk is about what you don’t like…or just not doing EXACTLY what you’d’ve wanted…

So allow yr little child to become a snobbish punker...even if you’re middle class and cultured…

How can those so-called punk acts be real punk…When their music conveys none of those things?…when they limit themselves to rambling about infantile subjects….?

So what they do it out of passion...That does NOT make it punk…And Warhol is still feeling uncomfortable in his grave…
