Well Hung heart: cover of Super Massive Blues, of Muse

Well Hung Heart, banda nascida das cinzas (?) dos Bastard Fairies, com a espantosa Yellow Thunder Woman. Versão de tema dos Muse

Atom Heart Mother dos Pink Floyd no Theatre Châtelet

Vale a pena assistir aos 28:49' do video para ouvir a peça orquestral por excelência dos Pink Floyd, lançada no álbum Atom Heart Mother, em 1970, tocada por uma boa orquestra e com um som limpo (a gravação original não é grande coisa). Em Janeiro de 2012. Deve ter sido muito bom ver ao vivo em 70...

Para começar a semana em força: Placebo - Meds

Hoje acordei com esta. Os Placebo são uma das minhas bandas de rock favoritas

Chris Eckman, deserves a careful listening!

I've had this album laying around the house for quite a few months now (if not years! I really don't remember when did this guy make it through my record collection's check-in desk...) but , who knows why, never really paid much attention to it...

Something about the cover that never compelled me to press the play button on the CD Player.

Ok, so I confess being a sucker for artwork. I've got a certain tendency to be compelled , or not, to listen to a new artist only by judging its cover...

Yes, I'm one of those rare folks that still thinks artwork is an important part of an album... Especially on a 12"LP Cover

Not that it really implies anything but...

I find it to be one of the downsides / turnoffs of digitally distributed music over the net. You miss that joy of picking up your 'swissy', tear the plastic or carton apart, and ravish your newly acquired record....

Or even worst, missing on spending half a morning on a record shop searching for new music!

And yes, there is something special about the smell of old vinyl records... Anyway...

Woopsie! Should've looked into this record sooner!

Been missing some serious music here...

Sometimes is voice reminds me of Roger Waters voice... Not that there's any resemblance to Waters music...

I'll leave you with two songs from is latest album (2008). Arrrg, it took me 5 years !!!!

Hope you enjoy it.

"‘Who Will Light Your Path ?’ is especially beautiful, a duet between Eckman and the sultry-voiced Anita Lipnicka that muses on the uncertainty of the future and love(“Who will wait for you at the crossroads ?At midnight towards what light will you turn ?”), and which sets together echoing strings with a pulsating synthesiser and an acoustic guitar." in http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/

Robert Fripp com Grinderman (Nick Cave), do álbum "Grinderman 2"

Krautrock - The Rebirth of Germany

Yet another wonderful work done by BBC.

A must for any serious music and music history lover!

Also an important part of Germany's, and shall I say, the world's history... 

Hope you enjoy...

Hoje vou pôr uma cruz em : Gram Parsons

Sou um espírito aberto, sem preconceitos musicais, pelo que tenho muito poucas embirrações. Basicamente, detesto má música, sem que até hoje tenha conseguido muito bem definir qual é. Porém, há um género que nunca gostei: o country. A música de chapéu de cowboy nunca me convenceu; e não é porque seja má música. Simplesmente, embirro com ela.

Decidi-me, ainda assim, fazer um esforço e dedicar alguma atenção a uma das supostas oitavas maravilhas do género: Gram Parsons, génio precoce e desaparecido muito novo (em 1973, com 27 anos), que influenciou hordas de gente com aquelas gravatas ridículas e botas bicudas. O seu álbum "Grievous Angel" merece elogios rasgados, a sempre insuspeita Uncut coloca-o nos píncaros. Eu tenho a dizer que: não presta. É chato. É country.

Ainda para mais: contém o hino ao aborrecimento "Love Hurts".

E pronto. De vez em quando sabe bem pôr uma cruz em cima de algo e passar adiante.

Covers: Beirut - O Leãozinho

Uma delícia, esta versão dos C-lentes Beirut para o clássico de Caetano Veloso...

(do álbum Red Hot+Rio2)

Mark Eitzel - I Love but you're dead

Prestem a vossa atenção sff a este lindo tema de Mark Eitzel, alma criativa de um das melhores bandas americanas, os American Music Club, de San Francisco. É do álbum do ano passado, "Don't be a stranger". Ouve-se em repeat.

(Quanto ao tema, sugere-me dizer que é algo que acontece frequentemente).

Versão majestosa de Stairway to Heaven

Vejam Robert Plant e Jimmy Page emocionados com esta rendição clássico absoluto Stairway to Heaven, pelos Heart + (surpresa), com Jason Bonham na bateria, no Kennedy Center.

20 anos sem Frank Zappa

É dificil perceber que já passaram 20 anos... uma das últimas entrevistas de Frank Zappa, em que ele, já visivelmente doente (cancro da próstata), fala da sua música, do seu legado e da sua doença.

Michael Bloomfield - At the Cross

Há quem entoe loas bramânicas ao Eric Clapton, eu sempre o achei um bocado figurante.

Dentro do estilo, e agora que o Verão resolveu mostrar o seu calor, a slide guitar deste tema de Michael Bloomfield cai muito melhor.

Donna Summer: expoente!

Há melhor música de Sábado à noite que esta?? Nááá...

Depois do Big Joe Williams, acho que vou ser excomungado mais uma vez - WTF...



E melhor que Kraftwerk, com a produção de Giorgio Moroder:

Big Joe Williams - Brand New Car

Hoje os blues primitivos, os Delta Blues, bateram forte cá dentro... E vai daí apareceu este:

Renascidos das Cinzas: Black Sabbath

O novo álbum "13" tem estes 9:37 minutos de "God is Dead". É caso para dizer que o tempo não passa por eles - soam ao mesmo!

Which One's Pink

Another marvelous work from BBC

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Roxy on Eno(psyche)delia

From BBC's "The Old Grey Whistle Test"


First broadcast on April 3, 1973


Were they having problems with the lighting? Was it too strong?

I guess Phil Manzanera was the only one that already knew the lights were too bright and got on stage with his shades on!  :)

I first saw the DVD box set from BBC's famous "The Old Grey Whistle Test" program at a friend's house and let me tell you that it's worth every penny.
