Om de lut

Alexandrina Hristov lanseaza cateva piese in avanpremiera albumului "Om de lut", primul din cariera artistei, album care va aparea in luna octombrie.

The dull flame of desire

Ultimul videoclip Bjork, lansat ieri, 15 septembrie pe youtube. 3 regizori, 3 viziuni, 3 plasmuiri inedite. "The dull flame of desire" este al cincilea single de pe albumul "Volta", dupa "Earth Intruders", "Innocence", "Declare Independance" si "Wanderlust". Piesa este interpretata alaturi de Antony Hegarty de la Antony and the Johnsons si, mai nou, de la Hercules and love affair. Versurile sunt traducerea in enngleza a unui poem scris de Fyodor Tyutchev si folosit in celebrul film al lui Tarkovsky, "Calauza".

Jumatatea vizuala a artei Alexandrinei Hristov:

Another "Indian Summer"

Rar ma impresioneaza interpreti de sex masculin, mai ales daca sunt in afara unei trupe. Gasesc insa momente ca "Indian Summer" care ma linistesc de prejudecati sexiste. La fel de frumoasa ca piesa omonima a celor de la The Doors, dar fara nici o legatura cu aceasta,

Ozark Henry - Indian Summer



Mersi, Codrin!

Pink Martini

Din nou Vama

Pink Martini - Hey Eugene

Coin-operated boy

Intre Cocorosie si The real Tuesday Weld. "Brechtian punk cabaret".
Una din bucuriile verii asteia in Vama:

The Dresden Dolls - Coin-operated boy

Once

S-a intamplat ca bjorkeritza mea de suflet sa-mi recomande filmul "Once", citez : "pentru atmosfera"..

L-am vazut de trei ori intr-o zi. Este un film cu foarte multa muzica, fara a fi un musical. Cald, patrunzator, inteligent. Un soundtrack ce a castigat Oscar, compus si interpretat de chiar protagonistii filmului. Cantece in aceeasi nuanta de rosu tomnatic, de urcat in iPod-uri pentru plimbari nostalgice.

Deine Lakaien

O piesa care m-a obsedat acum o jumatate de an si de care iata, mi se facu dor :

Deine Lakaien - Over and Done

Hercules and love affair

Hercules and love Affair este un proiect dance new-yorkez pus pe picioare de DJ Andy Butler, alaturi de Nomi, Kim Ann Foxman si....Antony Hegarty. Ei bine, ideea nu putea fi decat o reusita conceptual-comerciala; atat de reusita incat piesa care urmeaza se difuzeaza "un pic" si la noi. Se pare ca radioul romanesc (de prima audienta) a avut o scapare fericita in a aduce la urechile poporului ceva cu adevarat catchy si valoros deopotriva. Sper sa nu fie doar o scapare..

Hercules and love affair - Blind

Chica and the Folder

O trupa cu vreo 26 de mii de views pe myspace poate trece drept necunoscuta...pentru mine cu siguranta era pana ieri.
Facand-mi obisnuitul tur de net in cautare de eventuri muzicale autohtone, aflu de Bridge Festival, show putin mediatizat se pare, poate tocmai din cauza lipsei de nume cu rezonanta ale muzicii mondiale. Festivalul are loc la Giurgiu-Ruse chiar in aceste zile si face parte dintr-un proiect numit European Sound Delta, concept "pan-european axat pe sound-art, live performances, field recording". Pe afis : Prins Thomas, Mira Calix, Phill Niblock, Chica and The Folder, Minus si Ion, Sillyconductor, Tom Wilson, Alien Pimp, SKVJS, Vali Chincisan, Henning Lundkvist, Pistamashina, Cosmiq Microbiq, Camil, Julien Ottavi, TO, Katherine Liberovskaya, WPMG

Ok, ideea e ca am cautat primul nume care a sarit in ochi, si anume Chica respectiva (dimpreuna cu Folderul adiacent). Descopar cu entuziasm o muzica electronica inteligenta in "aberatiile" ei, aducand optimismul Soutpaw (gasiti un clip al lor acu cateva posturi) in combinatie cu gravitatea lui Amon Tobin, spre reusita unui concept pe care o sa-l numesc dark-pop.

Chica and the Folder mi-au placut mult si ma bucur sa stiu ca festurile romanesti sunt mai numeroase si mai diverse decat imi inchipuiam.

This place is a prison

Un cantec despre neputinta. Sublim prin simplitate si puterea mesajului.

The Postal Service - This place is a prison



This place is a prison
And this people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again
And again

Ther're guards at the on ramps armed to be teeth
And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound,
But you are not permitted to leave

I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen
In my living room late last night,
It was almost too bright to see
And i know that it's not a party if it happens every night
Pretending there's glamour and candelabra
When you're drinking by candlelight

What does it take to get a drink in this place?

What does it take, how long must i wait?

Groove Armada - At the river

O piesa pe care am ascultat-o prima data prin 2002 (desi e mai veche de atat). Primisem un cd mostra de trip-hop mai putin "circulat" sa-i zic..
"At the river", piesa de rezistenta a celor de la Groove Armada (in afara de celebra "I see you baby") este unul din cantecele care la vremea aceea m-au facut sa "cad" in meandrele muzicii electronice adevarate..Asemenea acestei piese, imi amintesc de placerea cu care ascultasem "Vinger and salt" de la Hooverphonic si "Daydream in Blue" - I monster.

Deocamdata impartasesc/reamintesc "At the river", intr-o minunata interpretare live, in cadrul "Isle Of Wight Festival 2007"

Si daca vreti sa pastram atmosfera de relaxare solara, primiti si "Healty Drug" de la Southpaw..

Groove Armada - At the river (live)



If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,
quaint little villages here and there


Southpaw - Healthy Drug



Will you be my secret lover?
Underwear or undercover
Will you be my favourite creature?
A little nicer than my English teacher

Healthy drug, healthy drug...

Will you be my cosmic dancer?
See, my heart beats like sequencer
Will you be my private preacher?
A little wiser than my P.E. teacher

Healthy drug, healthy drug

Oh, my healthy drug
I know I just wouldn't get enough
But now a brand new day
Is gettin' born again
My body is full of pain
So I have to go and kill some more of my braincells.
Will you be my secret lover?
Underwear or undercover
Will you watch me when I'm singing?
And every end with you
Is a new beginning
