The filth, the fury, the fuzz - 2

Las bocinas de mi computadora son muy pequeñas para despertar a los vecinos a esta hora con mi nostalgia por tiempos en los que nunca me toco vivir y de cualquier forma ya tengo reservada mi buena dosis de Merzbow, flying saucer attack y demas similes para cuando quiera cometer homicidio sonoro en venganza por aquellas tardes en las que he tenido que echarme la puta cancion esa del gorila-u-u-a y la discografia entera de David Bisbal y Chayanne en las clases de baile de sus hijas.

Aqui va la segunda parte con las canciones que no pude subir el sabado por falta de tiempo. Esta lista incluye dos covers (”ain’t no sunshine” y “she’s a woman” de Bill Withers y de los Beatles respectivamente) Fleetwood Mac en su mejor epoca y algo del Led Zepellin tardio asi que creo esta mas acercada a terrenos conocidos y digeribles que la pasada. Espero les sean del mismo goce del que son para mi.

Fleetwood Mac - Oh well (part 1)
The Association - six man band
Mama Lion - Ain’t no sunshine
Led Zepellin - houses of the holy
Churchills - she’s a woman

La imagen me parece es un still de un video de los eels pero no recuerdo de donde ha venido ni si en realidad viene de un video de los eels.

Five Easy Lists for Lovers. e.Songs

… I think it has to do with the nature of visual memory. Not only do I remember photographs better than I remember moving images. But what I remember of a movie amounts to an anthology of single shots. I can recall the story, lines of dialogue, the rhythm. But what I remember visually are selected moments that I have, in effect, reduced to stills. It’s the same for one’s own life. Each memory from one’s childhood, or from any period that’s not in the immediate past, is like a still photograph rather than a strip of film. And photography has objectified this way of seeing and remembering.

-Susan Sontag, Interview

“Five Easy Lists for Lovers. e. Songs”

01. Peter Gabriel - Love To Be Loved
02. Ray LaMontagne - Three More Days
03. Band of Horses - For Wicked Gil
04. Lady & Bird - Walk Real Slow
05. Henryk Gorecki - Pieces in the Old Style 1 (william Orbit remix)
06. Labradford - by Chris Johnston, Craig Markva, Jamie Evans
07. Pere Ubu - Humor Me
08. Shellac - Steady as She Goes
09. Pixies - Is she weird
10. High Dials - Strandhill

note: A belated list from last June, with slight tweek. It’s a MdM type of mood list. Mellow, atmospheric and softly ambient. This one with William Orbit, Labradford, and mix of psych rock and no wave classic. I don’t think I will ever complete this list. So this will be a 3 out of 5 series, unless somebody has better idea what to fill the b and c part. Enjoy. I like the songs in this list.

On a certain level I think they’re great, but on another I can’t relate… to anything they do.

L’AMOUR

Nunca he sido muy seguidor de mi pais vecino ni musicalmente y menos cinematográficamente. Pero ultimamente un aire francés me perturba. Cualquier dia me veo viendo una de Godard y peor aun, igual me acaba gustando.
Asi que hoy toca Francia, mejor dicho, gente que canta o parece que canta en francés.
Me temo que dada la afición de Kahlo por el tema, puede que repita alguna que ella ya haya puesto (en ese caso espero que se lo tome como humilde homenaje).

Popurri
rouge rouge - l’amour

the pinker tones - travel club

April March - La Piscine Couverte

Têtes Raides Fabulous Trobadors - méfie toi

Etyl - Enlhomme

Pink Martini - Dansez-Vous

Ariane Moffatt - Montréal

La que no podia faltar (que alguien me ayude a rellenar el espacio de las X)
carla bruni - Le Plus Beau Du Quartier

carla bruni - Le Toi Du Moi

Yo diria que dice algo en frances
northern exposure - jolie louise

Los mas grandes
Mano Negra - Pas assez de toi

jazz & swing
Sanseverino - La cigarette

Madeleine Peyroux - J’Ai Deux Amours

The cover (una vez hice cosas con esta canción)
Presidents of the United States of America - Ça Plane Pour Moi

La pseudofrikada fank
Matthieu Chedid (mas conocido como -M-) - Jam Man

Roxan Hotel

some great explosion, a metamorphosed
tug clawing the imagined
fall: to be dead at the dead wind’s hand,
and indistinguishable as indistinguishable trees against
the passive ever changing labor of thought.

- J. Schneider, The Gesture of Seasons.

Fall comes early. This small list announces it. Starts out as a random filler list (between “five easy list for lovers” and “fall best of album” ), this list takes its own life as a brutal mood list. It’s the type that goes one direction. Once listened end to end, mood is completely transformed, like fall laves folliage. They beautiful and full of colors, but once the process starts, the leaves won’t turn green again. It’s irreversible process awaiting for early winter dark sky and melancholy.

In the list: Steady, open air rythm, moody, like fall breeze. It moves and sweeps. (Ane Brun, Calexico) The opening and closing gems that dictate the mood, check them out. (Buckwheat Zydeco, Thee More Shallows) The rest are stories in between.

“Secret of Love - This Voice”

01. Buckwheat Zydeco - Secret of Love
02. Ane Brun - This Voice
03. Jesca Hoop - Silver Screen Demos (web)
04. Stephen Clair - Stupid Game (web)
05. Shivaree - I Close My Eyes (web)
06. Gaby - Be Careful What You Wish For, Cause It Might Come True (web)
07. Calexico - Sonic Wind
08. Thee More Shallows - I Can’t Get Next To You (web)
