Am nevoie de o prietena usuratica

Maybe I could try to write an actual review and stuff... dar nu. De mentionat ar fi ca AB4 le e si mama si tata astora mici din 'actualul val de formatii indie'. And the pogo... Pogo is good! Si mi-a placut coverul lor dupa 'Love Song'. Desi, tot un Placebo era mai gigea.
....

Ah, si Doru, Doru was the sweetest...Se vedea ca they weren't expecting all the love we showed them! *big smile on her face*

Oh, si un punct in plus pentru Blister Blue. I actually enjoyed their performance.. mai sa fie.

Alas, they need a new jury

Vine Mercuryu' peste noi si eu de abia acum ma prind. Nomimalizari... Luati de aici. Tristete mare, din punctul meu de vedere. Nici un album care sa zic ca imi place cap-coada. Estelle si Adele mi se par niste glume. In Rainbows nu am putut sa il ascult (vechea mea problema cu Radiohead, ii admir, dar ii ascult din an in paste si atunci doar Fake Plastic Trees). De Last Shaddow Puppets m-am si plictisit. Laura Marling are o voce ok, un album la fel..La fel pot sa zic si de albumul Neon Neon. Dar nu merita Mercury short list. Elbow and British Sea Power never got me. Dupe ce ca anul trecut, domnii cu short listu' l-au ignorat pe Patrick Wolf si al lui sublim Magic Position, anul asta, they disappoint me again. Hai, nu o fac pe the desperate fan si nu le cer sa ii puna pe Horrors ca stiu ca deh... nu e muzica pentru oricine. You do need a certain acquired taste. Dar cand niste formatii superbe iti vin cu niste albume cu coaie (adica domnii de la Foals si domnii de la These New Puritans cu Antitodes si Best Pyramid...)... ei, eu ii vreau plecand acasa macar cu numele pe short list. Si poate pe domnii de la TNP cu premiul, bocind mai rau ca Clacsoanele anul trecut.

Secret post



This is just one of those songs (and bands) that make me think I'll never be able to make music. Cause would the music I'd make really matter in comparison to this?

Oh, the rock'n'roll life...

Pe langa the really important info this little gem has for us (so, Wire likes getting weed on? 4REAL!), raspunsul la prima intrebare mi se pare de-a dreptul glorios. Da, my winamp is still stuck on some manic street preachers.

Methadone Pretty

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?


Everything Must Go

Poate ca duminica zambeam ca o idioata, dar de abia acum imi dau seama ca au fost in fata mea. Ascult 'The Everlasting' si imi zic 'Am auzit-o live, l-am vazut pe Bradfield cantant-o'. Nu am patit asta cu nici o formatie. Ba nu, mint. Dupa Rapture era la fel. Dar imi amintesc clar ca dupa concertul Placebo nu i-am ascultat mult timp (whatever happened there? Cause I know for sure I loved that gig...poate ei au venit prea tarziu. Si Manics? Ti se pare putin din 1999 pana acum?). Dupa Klaxons, desi i-am ascultat pana la refuz, nu simteam aceasi bucurie. Nu era nici un sentiment de genul 'Ba, asta stiu cum suna live'. Si, daca la unele formatii as fi vrut sa cante o melodie sau alta, acum sunt multumita cu ce mi-au oferit ei. Poate as fi preferat sa mai cante vreo 5 ore, dar cred ca asta vrei de la any of yr fave bands.

.......

Peste vreo saptamana revin cu detalii despre cum se simte un om care si-a dat seama ca i-a vazut pe Stereophonics.

You Love Us!

Ieri....ieri am stat la o coada pentru autografe de la James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire si Sean Moore. Ieri am stat mai mult de o ora lipita de un gard in fata scenei asteptandu-i pe cei trei. Ieri am urlat cat am putut de tare 'Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicky' pana cand, intr-un final, domnul Nicholas Jones s-a uitat in directia mea si a zambit. Ieri am cantat cu alti oameni 'If you tolerate this'... pretty big step de la zilele cand o cantam in fata teveului din sufrageria bunicii dat pe MTV. Ieri... ei, de ieri zambesc intr-una ca o idioata....

This Is Not A Love Song

Maine canta Nouvelle Vague la Bestfest. I-am mai vazut anul trecut, pe al sfarsitul lui iunie, la Lyon, la Fete de la musique. Bref, point is... Tipele care au cantat atunci avea niste accente mizereengleza...din alea gen Soko....adica de stupid french chicks. I know some people are crazy about 'em. Not I. Recent am facut ceva ce vroiam sa fac de mult. Am ascultat toate variantele originale. Ale melodiile cover-uite atat de original de NV. Original pe dracu. Stiam de mult ca Human Fly sau Guns of brixton nu sunt too different from the Cramps or Clash songs (intre noi fie vorba, Human Fly e de fapt stripped down de all the kinkiness the original has). Dar ce au facut cu I Melt With You si Sorry For Laughing e de-a dreptul scandalos (just for the record, alea nu mi-a placut nici inainte de a auzi originalele). Asa ca, eu maine nu ma duc la Nouvelle Vague. Prefer sa aud niste melodii relativ mediocre de pe Angry Mob. Cel putin Kaiserii nu se vor mega artsy.

....

Tot pe subiectul covers... domnul Ronson e un scump. Dar si aici am probleme. Pretty Greenu' cu Santogold e almost identical with Jam's version. Iar Valerie imi place mai mult in original...e mult mai sweet. The Only One I Know-ului ii lipseste ceva. Can't pin-point it....but it's just not there. I mean, The Charlatans one just has this overwehlming sound the floods yr ears. Nu si asta al lui Ronson. Iar LSF si Apply Some Pressure concureaza cu Melt With You si Sorry For Laughing la teh worst covers ever. Energia aia care facea din Apply Some Pressure o melodie pop geniala...well, Ronson takes it all away.... and I hate that.

.....

Ca o concluzie... cum spunea o prietena de faza lui Lennon (da, John) cu 'all u need is love'....bun om, proasta idee... Asa si Collin si Ronson.

Everybody Knows

Ziceam, dupa o prima ascultare, ca domnii Turner si Kane nu au reusit sa ma impresioneze... ei, bine, today, I take those words back...

Snap My Hands

...sau cum Timbaland a fost implicat in realizarea unei melodii care chiar imi place (yes, repeat included)

Can I pretend that I was on the run and everyone was everywhere?




Am dat intamplator peste '17' pe some music blog and I realised it had been lying in my computer for ages. Winamp love was long overdue.

Praise The Lord

On today's show...

avem un trio din Kingston Upon Thames (da, ze uk...) care isi spune Tubelord si a caror melodie 'Night of the Pencils' ma obsedeaza de cateva zile. Ei zic ca sunt ca 'Biffy Clyro having fun'...but hell. Biffy hasn't been having this fun in a while now... Aaaand structurile ciudate si all the progressive-hardcore shit invelite intr-un ambalaj pop cu chant-uri gen Wombats really make me feel like a kid in a candy store.

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you

I have a new love.... Say hello to the most perfect thing on Earth.... woot....

Also, I have a second new love.... actually, this new love is a duo... from Ohio... and they play psyche-garage-punk... and have a song called 'Poison Ivy's Chamber'. Can you spell 'we love The Cramps and we are not afraid to show it?'. They say they are influenced by 60's Garage/Psyche and by British Mod ... Really now? Like the fuzzy guitars and raw vocals weren't making the exact same statement. You had to voice it as well for us mortals.

The Black Elevators - Poison Ivy's Chamber

Also, their myspazz page features a live fuzzy-wuzzy cover of Bowie's 'Moonage Dream'. This makes me think i'd love to be a rock'n'roll bitch for them.

The EPIC Fail!

Avem in programul de azi cateva probleme dureroase si alte puncte nevrelgice...

Blaga la Primarie...da, eu + politica = FAIL! Dar mie mi-au ajuns bordurile, am destule. De 18 ani avem primari PD (-L) si multe borduri. Da, poate Videanu a mai facut ceva in Bucuresti (a se vedea lipsa groapei din fata blocului meu). Dar asa si Ontanu a facut multe pentru sectorul 2 (don't get me started with what Negoita hasn't doen from my point of view).Plus, PD-lu' e partidul lui Basescu...si ala has to go. Oprescu o fi el mai rosu de culoare (politica) - sau nu - dar si eu sunt vreo 48% ...

Maroon 5 meets Ela Ela Ela.... de ce, adam, de ce? (adam il chema pe solist, right?)



Chris Martin care pierde neuroni intr-o rata mai alarmanta ca Madonna (si ale ei idei 'netede' de a lucra cu Timbaland). I-auziti ce declara mititelu'....

"I dreamed about Radiohead last night and Westlife the night before. Which is the perfect blend of what we're trying to do musically. I always dream about other musicians. And they're never interested in hanging out with us"

Deci, Radiohead + Westlife = ....erm....well, something....NOT ON PLANET EARTH!!!! NOT EVER... it is wrongness in its purest form. Si sa mai zica ei ca nu si-au vandut their souls for commercial success... oh, you has..and the spirit of top 40 owns yr souls now (yes, that was a Mighty Boosh reference...parafrazare...ceva....)

As a conclusion...Mircea Badea a luat-o deja pe aratura, nu vi se pare?

Glazed the blazed

Am cateva probleme lately...

1. Literatura de specialitate scrisa de americani, pentru prosti si numa' buna ca pretext sa te dai cu capu de pereti dupa ce dai peste vreo 10 pagini numai cu exemple...ok, WE GOT IT!

2. Examenul la publicitate de pe 6...pe langa faptul ca o sa fie o mare tristete (cica o sa avem intrebari inteligente...da' io de asta am dat la UniBuc?), e chiar in dimineata ce urmeaza concertului Goldfrapp (eh, veti spune, si? oricum nu iti place ultimul album... in fine...)

3. Plec la Londra...nu asta in sine e o problema doar cand te gandesti la the money i shall spent there. Plec la Londra in perioada 4-10 august. Nici asta nu ar fi o problema...maybe the heat. Pe 8 august e Underage Fest (pentru pustii intre 14 si 18 ani...) . Ghici cine canta.... daaa....The Horrors... ei, asta e o problema. Pe scurt, I need a fake id saying I am ...let's say almost 18... That is a first, ladies and gents. Someone pretending they are younger in order to get in a gig venue. FAIL!

4. Nu gasesc pe nicaieri Dandi Wind... adica, albumele. ca am si eu acolo de un repeat. Dar vreau mai mult....Sunt sublim de haotici.

Dandi Wind - Mafu Cage

p.s.: credeti ca daca I hang around the fest venue and I wait untill The Horrros show up and I try to get their autographs...and, like, explain the situation....they'll feel pitty for me and like take me backstage with them?

*FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!FAIL!*

I Hear A New World


Isi spune Billy Trivial si inventeaza o poveste assez sympa despre ale sale origini. Seamana izbitor cu un fanatic Horrors. It's good to capitalize on the success of the 5 Southenders, especially when you don't really sound like them.Probabil, ca si Horrors, a ascultat prea mult Joe Meek si BBC Radiophonic Workshop. De fapt, suna pe alocuri a varianta cu vocals a Spider and the Flies (care, cum poate stiti, sunt varianta imbunatatita a melodiei Gil Sleeping de pe albumul de debut a celor 5 amintiti mai sus...)....Adica tot la Horrors ajungem. Trist, nu? Noroc ca avem si niste momente mellow si usor acustice ca the Joshua Third hair makes the wrong statement.

Ah, sa nu uit... Insects Indomitable nu va aduce aminte (cu o nesimtire pe care doar la Horrors si al lor 'A Knife In Their Eye' - cover Monks mascat sub un alt nume - o mao au) de Just Like Honey-ul fratilor Reid?

Sinucideri in masa sau prostia mass-media

Banuiesc ca sunteti la curent (alternativ... doi 20 etc) cu stirea care a umflat cu audiente buzunarele posturile romane de teveu'. Una mica de 12 ani s-a sinucis ca avea probleme in familie. Dar nu asta e bomba, doar zilnic se sinucid pusti care au probleme cu mama, cu tata, cu pisica... Pustoaica declara, probabil intr-un puseu de teribilism, ca e emo. Irelevant motivul real al sinuciderii (doar nu e o stire ca un caine a muscat un om), hai sa zicem ca Emo = moda sinucigasa (invers, e insa stire de zile mari si audiente cum numai domnul Vali Stan mai are). A se vedea bataia de joc aka articolul Realitatea. A urmat o tanti de la Libertatea (MARELE! ziar Libertatea, fruncea tarii) care a zis ca emo a dat nastere gothului (informatie verificata din surse sigure... cativa cocalari care se dadeau cu saniuta prin Ploiesti si se credeau emo). Bine ca era Lenti Chiriac langa ea. Dar eu sa fi fost, i would've bitten her her off like Ozzy with that bat. Oricum , am vaga impresie ca de la cati goths care se manifestau vestimentar (n-)aveam in Romania, acum nu o sa mai avem. Au fost ,inevitabil, analizati mari artisti emo, Tokio Hotel. Au aparut cativa care au zis 'E rockeri din-astia' (pe buuuune? hai ca pe asta nu o stiam...). Unii emo au zis ca ei este mai sensibili si mai romantici (sa mori tu... in cazul asta, Morrissey da pe dinafara de ce emo e.... ). Unii s-au cutremurat la gandul ca se fardeaza cu negru, poarta mult nergu si au haine bizare (da, imi pare rau mama, de acum nu mai poti sa porti Vansii aia ai mei, ca's bizari...doar ii poarta toti emo....). Au urmat si massurile de o inteligenta rar intalnita de genul... erm...citez...

'mesaj pentru toti care se cred sau sunt emo:ma pish pe curentu vostru si pe mentalitatea voastra de rahat...o fetita de 12 ani s-a sinucis din cauza voastra ieri si acum cateva luni inca o fata de 14 ani a murit pentru ca sunteti prea handicapati ca sa ganditi normal si ii corupeti si pe altii...treziti-va fratilor la realitate si invatati sa treceti peste probleme k asta e tot sensul vietii:sa inveti din greseli si invatati-va copii sa nu gandeasca la fel si sa nu treaca prin chestii dastea si sa-si distruga viatza la o varsta asa frageda...da mai departe daca ai sange-n coaie!!!DESTROY EMO!! sorry de mass pooooooooop.l-am primit si vi-l dau si voua..mass care merita'

De mare finete compozitia. Ma intreb care-i cocalarul...erm... artistul care i-a dat drumul pe 'piata'.
Am o adaugire de facut... mentalitatea de rahat e a alora care invinuiesc o miscare, un curent muzical, un artist etc de faptele unor oameni cu probleme. Oameni care chiar daca ar asculta Rhianna sau Take That are fi la fel de labili psihic. Pot sa asculte si muzica clasica, domnilor. Tot isi trag un glonte in cap, se arunca de la etaj sau impusca un liceu.

Inchei cu un citat din Guy Picciotto de la Fugazi si Rites of Spring (formatii considerate intemeiatoarele genului emo)

"I don't recognize that attribution. I've never recognized 'emo' as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me."

Hush, hush, my love

Daca Pete o face, o face si Carl. Sau invers...given the fact that Carl was the one who first annouced the free download. Pete l-a pus direct. Si dupa ce a anuntat Carl. Da, ladies and gents... Dirty Pretty Things....aka formatia aia nu foarte diferita de Libertines dar care ne place oricum... si-au lansat single pe net. Free download...

si simt ca in sfarsit Carl a reusit sa treaca peste Libertines...

Dirty Pretty Things - Hippy's Son

De asemenea, citeam o stire de prin februarie bout The Chavs ( aka formatia aia din care fac parte Carl, Jamie si Steff de la Klaxons si Tim Burgess) si cica ar scoate album la sfarsitul anului... Dar vai... asta inseamna ca o sa avem album Klaxonesque before November?

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.

We love Lily Allen and stuff...dar this is the lowest of lows... asa cum spunea cineva... 'lily lily...arata ca Fitza (yes, her actual name)...colega noastra manelista blonda'.... Sad, yes...


Also, this being a music blog si nu unul de mondenitati, vi-l prezint pe Kid Harpoon, un domn din Kent a carui muzica aduce a Larrikin Love si Mystery Jets... in sensul ca are aceleasi influente pshyce-folk. Unde e NME cu scena lor de Thames beat?

Kid Harpoon - Fifty Seven
Ah, si pe aici pe undeva e un cover genial dupa Manhattanu' lui Cohen.

Cand a fi penal e deja prea penal....

...sau cum NME a lansat o barfa de zile mari care pune la colt orice ar zice vreodata Simona Senzual pe Acasa. Cred ca o stiti pe Peaches Geldof... daca dati un search pe wiki, va zice ca e 'British socialite and occasional broadcaster' ...ah, si fata lui SIR Bob Geldof. Sau cum a zis Bican 'nu e asta ala care a cantat in Boomtown Rats si pe urma s-a basit?'. Ba ala... care daca ar avea mai mult creier, in loc sa organizaze Live Aiduri (unde vine Doherty,Peaches se da la el, el o ciupeste pe Peaches de cur si tot ea se plange), ar putea sa cumpere o tara de prin Africa si sa o transforme in US of A part 2. In fine, nu asta era the whole point. Ci Peaches. Caci Peaches este o fiinta cu adevarat remarcabila. O cheama si Honeyblossom, daca nu stiati. Iese numai cu rock dudes. Donny Tourette (the second greatest punker in the world, after Johnny Borrell), cu Joe Lean, cu unu de la Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man.... Acum e cu Faris Rotter. Dar ziceam de NME. Care zice ca nu mai e cu Faz. Ci cu vocalul/chitaristul de la Tiny Masters Of Today. Ivan il cheama pe al nostru baiat. Pre-puber. Caci aici e tot schepsisu (asa s-o scrie?). E nascut in 94. In urma unui calcul simplu... pen and paper pentru cei care au avut probleme cu matematica... are 14 ani. Peaches are 19. ooooooo...

Vb unuia pe forumul Horrors. 'I thought you'd all be exceedingly happy that she found someone of the same maturity level'... desi cred ca pustu' o depaseste pe Peaches la partea cu maturity level.

Si daca tot zic eu de Tiny Master Of Today, alfati ca's 2 frati, Ivan si Ada (14 si 11 ani), din Brooklyn (c'est la merde, ca!) si fac muzica (suprinzator!) buna. Bowie a zis ca's genii. Karen O si Kimya Dawson au colaborat cu ei. Au chiar un cantecel anti-Bush (unde sunt mascatii romani sa puna bata pe ei?) scris pe vremea cand Ada avea 8,9 ani... Ce faceam noi la 8 ani? Unii ne jucam cu **** in tarana si ni se parea ceva GENIAL! Eu stiu ca ascultam de bunica-mea, aveam parul prins in codite impletite si invatam tot ce trebuia pentru scoala. Si ma jucam cu papusile Barbie aduse de mama din Franta. Dormeam cu ele. Le dadeam nume. Cred ca visam si la un ponei. Sigur visam la casa aia Barbie. Sa ma gandesc macar ca as putea face ce fac Ivan si Ada...NEVER!

TMOT - Bushy
TMOT - Hologram World (feat Karen O)
TMOT - Trendsetter ( feat Kimya Dawson)



Ca o incheiere (plina de simbolistica and deep meaning and shit).... daca ma gandesc mai bine, i too would date this kid... chiar daca am 20 de ani si el 14. De cand e varsta o problema? eeee...

Mon dieu!

Citesc eu pe blogul lui muzicant de festivalul alora aproape vamaioti (ca sa o parafrazez pe o tanti de la Realitatea... ), Stuf...unde cica ar veni Sex Pistols (speram ca mustata lui Rotten e inclusa)... Se mai zice de Sigur Ros si Tricky dar de aia nu prea ma doare. dEus au confirmat...

In orice caz, ma intreb cum se simte politia romana care a avut atatea probleme cu 'anarhistii' aia 'aproape hipioti'. Acum ne vin in tara alti 'anarhisti'...de data asta 'cam punkeri'... pfoai

(note: tot ce sper e sa nu fiu plecata in perioada Stufului... desi... Londra... Sex Pistols... which one wins, ha?...exact, nici eu nu stiu)

Pretty Weird

Inainte de a ma apuca de treburi serioase, vreau sa multumesc oficialilor romani care s-au gandit sa ne dea liber de summit... si astfel mi-au permis sa imi duc viata de pensionar fara sa fiu deranjata de factori externi... adica scoala... u know.

In alta ordine de idei, vroiam sa scriu acest post ieri dar m-am gandit ca e 1 aprilie, nu o sa ma luati in serios etc etc... Despre ce e vorba? Despre cum publicul la un concert Panic at the Disco s-ar putea sa nu mai fie preponderent emo...da, Panic fara !. They dropped it. Si sincer, e mai bine fara ! given the new musical direction. De unde erau fratii mai mici(?) si ceva mai dashtepti ai alora de la Fall Out Boy, PatD au ajuns sa fie comparati cu Beatles. Da, ati citit bine, Beatles. Noul album e dubios de psyche, usor acoustic, cu orchestratii ample (uitati sintetizatoarele omniprezente pe primul album) si cu versuri less...well, emo... Spun 'less' pentru ca, desi melodiile sunt mult mai intelingente(cu exceptia melodioarei cam tampite 'We're so starving'), the writing style e inca tipic lui Ryan Ross si aduce a 'A fever you can't sweat out' (the same wit, same type of word plays) . Alt factor care iti aminteste de semnul de exclamare e vocea lui Brandon Urie care, desi reuseste sa duca melodiile la cap mai mult decat onorabil, e tot 'emo'... Un punct in plus pentru melodia Behind The Sea, pe care Ross preia indatoririle vocale. Stroke of genius, Behind the Sea fiind probabil cea mai buna melodie Panic si una dintre cele mai reusite melodii ale anului so far.

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'

Des bonnes raisons

Aud ca s-a lansat la noi 'Chansons d'amour'



O prietena mi-a zis ca merita filmul si din alte motive decat cele...tipice, sa le spunem... Ea, prietena, se referea la subtitrare... Ceva legat de extremitati si frecarea lor. Merg extrem de rar la cinematograf sa vad un film, dar promit ca de data asta ma voi duce...

Louis Garrel - Delta Charlie Delta

Elvis, I wasn't talking about that king, or ..

Spuneam in postul anterior ca ma duc la 'agatat' de emo.... a fost, well, trist. Deprimant... emo.
...

oh, forget it...

Si acum

1. o melodie care ma obsedeaza de cateva zile.... o melodie numai buna pentru indieotul din voi....

Hatcham Social - Snap My Hands

2. si o melodie pe care o vreau cam de un an, de la concertul Automatic si pe care in sfarsit mi-am amintit sa o downloadez...

The Automatic - Gold Digger (Kanye Kunt Boy West cover)

Saturday, March 22

EPIC FAIL!

Daca vedeti maine in zona Universitate - Romana o tipa care intra in vorba cu pusti emo... si le spune... 'Well, I'm doing a study....erm.... for school....erm....on you guys'.... eh, ati vazut-o pe yrs truly.
....

O sa mai vina doua prietene cu mine... De una imi e frica... Emo kids might end up chasing us with sticks or she might cause a mass suicide... oO

The London Scene, The London Scene

... si formatiile ei reprezinta tema unui nou post...

First of all, S.C.U.M (sau cum ne zice Lastfm, nu formatia de black metal din Cehia, S.C.U.M. ) fac post punk minimalist, par a fi fratiorii mai mici ai Electricity In Our Home, sunt aproape imposibil de gasit pe MySpazz (puteti sa va luati gandul de la google-uit...), au numai vreo 100 de plays pe lastfm... si alte nebunii din astea din care reiese ce indie (a se citi 'necunoscuti in afara Londrei') sunt ei ... Singura melodie pe care o am si eu ma face insa sa cred ca in curand plays counts-urile pe lastfm vor ajunge la peste 100 de mii si baietii isi vor muta gigurile din puburile 'mizere' londoneze in cele 'mizere' din restul Marii Britanii.

S.C.U.M - Visions Arise


Futurism Vs. Passeism ar putea sa se redenumeasca These New Puritans... a, ba nu, nu pot. Da, seamana CHIAR atat de bine cu TNP. Nu e bine, stiu... dar nu-i asa ca TNP suna bestial?

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

Sugar Assault Me Now

Mai, sincer, eu vreau front row and I ain't afraid to kill some people to get there....adica, au facut si 'pustii' astia vreo doua-trei melodii bune. Din umilul meu punct de vedere...merita.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

In the news today....

Did I get it right and we're seeing Leonard Cohen on the 14th of July?
(da, da... in Bucuresti, bah...)

I got meself a Ramones tee from Zara... shhhh

Sunt pe UrbanStyle...yes, I rock socks...

However, Rhys, Tom and Josh rock more socks than I do...d'asta si d'asta si d'asta

Faris no longer rocks socks cause he is dating this creature....

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

Some Might Say

Timez for some London Scene (and beyond) bands....

Adorati de The Horrors (I swear, this is not why I like them), Ulterior sunt un cvartet londonez a carui muzica e suprarealist de buna. Sincer! Single-ul de debut, Weapons, pare a fi o combinatie intre Prodigy si Suicide (finger-licking, I'd say)

Electricity In Our Homes sunt tot un cvartet londonez al caror stil post-punk minimalist e la fel de naucitor. More Minimal


Membrii Friendly Fires (formatie tot din UK) faceau parte inaite din varii formatii de hardcore. Asta pana au descoperit probabil ce fun e sa faci melodii dance-indie-punk extrem de catchy...cam ca On Board sau Paris

Si, last but not least... I Am The Arm, tot londonezi, sunt probabil urmasii de drept ai celor de la Boys Of Brazil. The same infectous drums, the same screaming... and so on... Daca nu ma credeti, ascultati Russian Industrial Movement

Leave your yens at the counter

The Violets sunt o formatie londoneza, din gasca Horrors-Neils Children-Ipso Facto-These New Puritans, care - dooooh- fac un punk de orientare 80ista. In cazul de fata, influentele sunt Souxsie and the Banshees ( cu care au fost si comparati de nshpe mii de ori) si Slits. Se simte in special in vocea solistei.

The Violets - Shade To Be *pe bune, nu va aminteste de Hong Hong Garden melodia asta?*



PS: I must mention that my blog is one year-old... de ieri... am uitat si tin sa ii cer scuze ca nu am sarbatorit properly... promit ca in weekend cel tarziu o sa ma fac praf la targul pentru geeks de la La Scena. Poate o supradoza de cookies, who know...

Stick a knife in the public eye

I'm just running in circles, fidgeting and...erm...stuff... Deoarece, deoarece ma omoara gandul ca The Horrors o iau pe cai necurate intr-ale directiei muzicale si eu nu am cum sa aud ce produc creerasele lor... ME WANTS!





Note: ca sa vedeti ce proasta sunt, am inceput sa plang mai devreme cand am citit un review facut pentru concertul de la Astoria in care the reviewer zicea ca nu mai suna so 60s si nu mai sunt centrati pe orga lui Rhys (they should, Rhys's magical fingers are the reason we love Horrors...well, one of the many reasons...)

Ah, si eu si Rhys... suntem facuti unul pentru altul...*dreamy*.. mai ales de cand m-am tuns ca el.. heh...

Disco dancing

Pana acum, Cohen si al lui First We Take Manhattan erau our disco guilty pleasures... Ha! Forget it... Long Blondes au o noua melodie care e pe cat de disco-orientated pe atat de goddamn hot thus giving NYPC a run for their money... Noul album, "Couples", iese pe 6 aprile si e binecuvantat cu atingerea magica a lui Erol Alkan (production).

Long Blondes - Everything I Touch

Don't stand under THAT umbrella...

Sincer, sunt dezamagita... Great laser show, but that was the only Klaxons part in it... They basically ended up being the back-up band.



Later edit: also, Klaxons lost to Take That (Live Act) and Mika (Breakthrough Act)..mdea...ah, si Jamie e my favourite wozzy-fuzzy creature. Ever.

New sounds

Asa, de nightie night, niste live-uri de calitate buna sau nu cu niscavai melodii noi The Horrors...








Plus mommy and her little naughty boys....

Cu intarziere, avem some juicy news

Cu intarziere, cum suntem obisnuiti... I-auzi, dom'ne, cu cine canta Clacsoanele (not centaurs) la Brit Awards... Cum suntem obisnuiti in urma unei stiri clacsonesti, i'm running around the room, hyperventilating...

Ah, my fave part was this...

"Her people kept sending versions back going 'No, this sounds more like you'.
"
It's strange when someone thinks they’re better at being you than you are!"

Commercial breakdown

Don't you just hate bands who are like... 17 and have been playing together for 3 years now?...
One Night Only sunt genul ala de formatie... ce mai ma face sa respir linistita e aroma de formatie de duzina... Solistul are totusi o voce buna si fac melodii memorabile. I for one know I can't get that 'Just for tonight' song outta my head...

One Night Only - Just For Tonight


un P.S. ca da bine: m-am (auto)nominalizat la the long list pentru RoBlogFest... nu intentionam sa zic nimic.. (i mean who's gonna vote for me? eh, make me happy, I wanna be emo... anyways)... dar dupa ce am citit seria de posturi scrise de Andrei si am ma vazut si pasta tot beanahre... deh, ma luasi si eu dupa ei (tot nu imi pun banner.... noooo)

Collapsed

Please explain this.... I mean the 'collapsed' photo on the Boys Of Brazil myspace... I mean... is this the end?

Climb, climb on board!

Uk Times says something about the latest types of tribes.... I say I'm going for the membership card in the nu (g)rave one. With out the 9 inch platforms, black lipstick (actually, no lipstick is the best... natural almost unheathy beige lips are the best)... I thing that the main reasons why I should be in this tribe are:

1. My look is getting more and more goth... sure, meets mod.... and in a sligthly 'i've attended a Klaxons gig last evening' way.
2. I like to make meself noticed at a party... especially if I don't like it.
3. My (unheathy) love for the Horrors and Ipso Facto*
4. Spirits on ice is a nice why of getting 'poisoned'
5. I love Bauhaus and other 80s goth bands...

Oh, I must tell you more about Ipso Facto. 4 girls form London. They make gloomy/morose garage rock and own my heart. That's pretty much it... oh, the Adams family organ and the great outfits inlcuded



Ipso Facto - Little Puppet

Murder On The Dancefloor

Prin august anul trecut mi-am luat intamplator Seabear. Nu mai stiu de ce. Poate mi-a placut numele sau poate... habar n-am. Point is, I ignored it. Nu am ascultat albumul, chiar am uitat ca aveam. Mi-a amintit Adina care descoperise formatia pe Lastfm. Eu nici nu mai stiam ca am in calculator. Credeam ca e undeva pe un cd. 'Da-mi si mie' i-am spus. Dar tot nu am ascultat. Ba mai mult, l-am sters due to lack of disk space (my preciousssssss). Acum cateva zile, stergeam disperata muzica din calculator (adica, aveam discografie completa Ash si Iron&Wine and I don't listen to more than a few song from each artist...damn... I even had several Iron&Wine live show) si am vazut ca am Seabear. Asa ca am bagat in Winamp. Sper mare-mi surprindere, nu e fata. Nu stiu ce m-a facut sa cred ca e tipa, probabil poza de pe Lastfm si faptul ca nu ma pricep la nume islandeze. Mai mult, I actually like the guy's music... Asa ca, luati de aici indie-pop via Iceland

Seabear - Good Morning Scarecrow

Tiptoe down to the lonely place

A few days ago, I read on the Horrors official forum that Jamie from Klaxons said the new Horrors album sounds shoegaze... First (stupid) reaction: oh, we know Joshua REALLY loves his white winklepinkles, but really now... he's staring at them while playing? Second (stupid) reaction: oh, great, now I can sleep while listening to The Horrors... cause I sleep really well while listening to shoegaze... not that I find it boring, it's just that My Bloody Valentine and Jesus&Mary Chain seem to be really relaxing... I even have dreams...

(and now something so the reader of this post won't get totally pissed off for reading this useless thing)

My Bloody Valentine - Loomer

Of moons, birds and monsters

MGMT vin din Brooklyn si pe alocuri amintesc de Bowie, pe alocuri de Flaming Lips si pe alocuri ma fac sa imi zic 'Asta suna a Bowie... Ba nu, a Flaming Lips... ba nu, Bowie... ba nu, Flaming Lips... Ba, cu ce dracului seamana?'... Anyways,cica au a bunch of prog-rock/space-rock/disco/electronic/britpop/shoegaze influences. Idea e ca they do make lovely anthems si, cam ca in shoegaze, vocea e efemera si se pierde uneori in instrumental. Albumul de debut l-au lansat prin octombrie anul trecut dar doar in format digital si de abia luna trecuta si pe suport... 'Weekend Wars' e melodia aia dupa care imi doresc sa mai ascult nitel Bowie pe repeat... If I'm wrong, forgive me..

MGMT - Weekend Wars



Pe Foals ii iubesc si pentru nebunia de 'Hummer' dar si pentru the imagery of Yannis (the lead, that is) dancing on Bubba Sparxxx's 'Ugly' (asta se intampla la Never Mind The Buzzcocks.. priceless moment). Cand i-am dat si domnului Bican sa asculte, he said 'ne place pentru ca se vrea experimental'... Don'soara Nancy a completat 'and because we can dance to it like an 80s bitch'. Acum, dupa cateva zile de injurat netu' fiindca mergea downloadu cu 999kb/s, am facut rost de debut... All heil... Si, guess what, they truly are a bunch of 80s bitches... Melodia de incheiere, Tron (is a nice movie), confirma acest fapt prin titlu alone... ( a se vedea wikiu'.... plus cam any of Noel Fielding's live routines when he mentions he's an 80s bitch, like Tron)

Foals - Tron (in a nice movie)



In alta ordine de idei si probabil complet irelevant... pentru cei ce nu stiau deja, Moby+NMTB = WIN!... here's why (the part with Moby wearing a sombrero is a classic... ca sa ii parafrazez pe Mighty Boosh... It's impossible to be unhappy in a sombrero)

This Is A Travesti, Sir!

Blasfemiile se tin lant... vin una dupa alta si I just can't figure out anymore where is this world standing... nu ca eram capabila de asa ceva inainte.

Mai intai fu melodia aia de 'the eternal mentioning of the eternal mentioning'... colaborarea aia dintre Kanye 'Cunt Boy' West si Chris 'Next Bono' Martin...

Pe urma, Jay-Z si-a confirmat aparitia la Glastonbury.

Acum, aflu ca (scuzati ca-urile) Kanye ar putea fi headliner at the same muddy fest ...

One Week Of Danger

Am un scaun cu rotile de la IKEA. Acum cateva zile, una dintre rotile a cazut si nu mai reusesc sa o pun la loc... So I have to be carefull not to fall. Tot acum cateva zile am gasit si melodia asta... I know it's about consumerism and... erm... stuff... but hell, everytime I listen to it I feel like saying 'IKEA did a job on ME'

Floor Is Made Of Lava - IKEA did a job on you

Oh, today's just one big fucking straight face... no, no other celebrity has died... However, I was surfing the Horrors official forum (aka Horum) and realised I need to read things more carefully... Yes, they did say something about a producer at a certain moment...

"This might be privileged information, but just before the New Year we spent a week in the studio with Chris Cunningham and cut a couple of new tracks, they sound fantastic and we're very much looking forward to the reactions from both our fans and others. Hats off to Chris."

Come on now, baby, come with me

I'm really bored and sleepy so here are some klaxons releted news...

1.Klaxons have been nomintaed for two awards in this years Brit Awards - British Live Act and British Breakthrough Artist.


kinky, innit?


2. *as found in this week's NME*

The four-piece have booked studio time with hip-hop producer Focus (Dr. Dre, Beyonce, Destiny's Child, The Game) and long-time David Bowie producer/friend, Tony Visconti. They will record sessions with Visconti in London in February, then with Focus in March.

The band then head to Italy to record the full album with James Ford, who was at the helm for their Mercury Music Prize winner and NME writers’ album of the year 'Myths Of The Near Future'.

Whatever it ends up sounding like, the band are adamant that their second album will be worlds apart from the debut that tagged them ‘new rave godfathers’.

“I read a gig preview for one of our shows the other day,” said guitarist Simon Taylor, “they were still writing that we were kids in fluorescent clothing playing rave revival music. But this time round the most boring thing we could do is make a similar record [to ‘Myths…’]. We’ve never specifically been about fashion or anything ‘now’. We’re going to make an album that’s relevant to us.”

“We’re proud of how the first album did,” added Taylor, “but it’s not going to be hard to completely blow it out of the water.”

The record is expected to be released in September.

Klaxons were speaking as part of NME's albums of 2008 preview issue which is on UK newsstands now.


why not Dre and Bowie, WHY???... i still wonder...
...

I have some bands I quite like and would like to post some mp3s but I'm too lazy to be bothered. Plus, final exams are on their way... 3... yes, 3 *BIG!grin*

I leave you with this... Enjoy and take notes...

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)

Placebo
The Smiths/Morrissey
The Strokes (in speta FIOE... dar nici restu' nu-i de colo)
Joy Division
Of Montreal

(and now some songs)

Velvet Underground - The Gift
Ladytron - Seventeen
Arctic Monkeys - 505
Hot Chip - Boy From School
The Libertines - Music When The Lights Go Out
New Order - Crystal
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
The Jam - That's Entertainment
Bright Eyes - Happy Bday To Me
The Coral - Bil McCai
JJ Johanson - She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Yo la Tengo - Last Days Of Disco
Jesus and Mary Chain - April Skies
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...

With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor

Znovurile circula de mult pe The Horum, dar de, lenea e mare in noi... Acum, ca Horrors ne-au promis album noi in Martie al acestui an, stim... Ce e mai gigea (&cute&cuddly&whatever) e faptul ca primul single ar putea fi...erm... o melodie pe care nu o stim (inca) sau un cover dupa minunatia asta...

Suicide -Dance

..ah, si eu inca vreau acel cover facut de Horrors dupa "No Love Lost"... imi vand plamanii pentru el... stiu ca fumez, dar asta e irelevant

----

In other news(for me)... Faris e producatorul noului ep Hatcham Social.. care va iesi la data de...*googles* 17 februarie.. parca ar conta... oricum, aici, in Romania ne doare fix in paispe de datele de lansare a variilor epuri si albume... tot nu le luam originale...

Buuuun.. tot nu m-am prins cine le produce the sophomore album astora de la Horrors si ma roada... sincer, vreau si nu vreau James Ford (cum se zvonea).. I mean, brilliant producer... but let's look at the facts: i-a corupt si pe Arctic Monkeys cu nu-raveu' (those beats..)... nu vreau niste orori nurave...

Ah, si ca tot vorbeam de nurave... De ce sophomoreu' Klaxons e produs de producatorul lui Bowie, Tony Visconti, and not Bowie himself ma depaseste...

Light touched my hands



Hot Chip basically own me... so, really, I was in the mood for some Hot Chip and I found out they have a new album coming out.... which, btw, is bloody brilliant... and just about anything Hot Chip could be about: quirky, with a certain sweetness to it, catchy, ironical... blablabla...

Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor
Hot Chip - Shake A Fist

Here In My Car I Fell Safest Of All

Given the fact that tomorrow I might be too drunk or/and tired to write something... vestea trebuie data acum... Maine fac 20 de ani (vorba melodiei.. 'they sentenced me to 20 years of boredom')... Am o depresie programata si , hopefully un picior rupt pe gheata de afara (it'd be a cheeky bonus)... Cel putin vom fi hip in our red-noelfielding-sexonlegs jeans while we wallow in self pity listening to the song below (my theme song for this day since my 18 bday)

Bright Eyes - Happy Bday To Me

Oh, a little ps... remember this one? Well, turns out I'm now obsessed with the song... si imi place sa dansez ca Noel in acel videoclip... Blugii rosii nu ma ajuta... Si ma apuca dansatu in tramvai la ora 7 fara un sfert am...

oh, and... what? Are they trying to make us forget bright colours? Though, one must admit, their new Cure/Horrors look is well fit (have they been doing too much bum-bum with Horrors?oO)
