Happy Birthday!

We are so intent on crap shoot, a stain to paramusicali anecdotes and insanity, to inform a small small world of our paranoia that we did not notice that Monsieur le blog has taken a year. So

Parachute Hair Oil Really Make Hair Grow

Zaz - Zaz

A kind of Jovanotti Alps, hippies and long hair, which gigioneggia with musique beyond the Alps. Go to bal musette, accordion tziganeggianti jazzatine and melodies, producing a minimal, almost in real time. The brushed drums and songs that hold up the hollow body guitares peep at Vian and Zaz (real name Isabelle), there embroidery melisma that do not fit in history. In France it became a case, some newspapers have incensed as the future incarnate, Les Inrockuptibles, and others cut off as the reigning trivia, and his "Je veux" was hoisted on all the radio as a signal anticonsumista. New flag to score a back craft or another mistake? Probably the truth lies, as often in the middle: the girl is Bravin, the voice is so so, the minimalist production and the final product was carefully designed polite, but there's little genius. Less free-range and deployed large Femmouzes T (by the way, their "On parle de Parite" is really a hymn), less intriguing of the various Keren Ann or Françoiz Breut, the Zaz seems a little 'sister francophone Amparanoia. Good pace, rhythm and style, a midfielder from your feet as soon as discreet, but little ingenuity. For us, forties, or would Tresor Giresse, not Platini.

Big Booty Cartoons Blond

The Kinks and the ghost of the old UB40 - Ray Davies' See my friends, "Ali Campbell" Great British Songs ", 2010)

For rockstar and for the players, as explained in Cicero's De Senectute , manage their aging is not a problem recently, especially after having lived the glory days with crowds cheering and critics benevolent. And so, note that the artistic talent has dried up (or has become varicose), the cashier at the supermarket not only does not ask for an autograph but she does not recognize you, that you're no longer on the cutting edge of a chair but with grandchildren, is just wrong. There are few who take pride and wisdom with his gray hair and old age have made an evolution, not a decline. The senescent wiser thin out their wares and often chisel craft niche might collaborate with promising young and often move towards a style perhaps more quiet, charming and cultured. Examples? I know, Peter Hammill, Robyn Hitchcock, Laurie Anderson, the same Knopfler. Other anzianotti struggling instead to cede the limelight and often reinvent style gatherings Pavarotti & Friends (& built-in, of course) or throw in a painful reassessment of their latest production cut (venghino Ladies and Siori, rifamo all in techno version) nor to seek to break the bank at the box office with a packed anthology of great songs, which they duly revised.
Two recent cases. Ray Davies, voice, guitar, songwriter and soul of the immense Kinks, we loved everything. Grandfather Bertoncelli Quote: Davies of home cooking we ate the leftovers also, and it is true. Also because their plates are kept well: a distance of 40 years, the taste is almost unchanged and Sunny afternoon is seductive, bitter and ironic as in 1965. For this a bit sorry 'that Ray has felt the need to find a horde of "friends", as it happens for a track, repeat all his best things, all in strict duet. But the result is tristarello , no song is horrible, but they are all consistently lower than the original, which inevitably runs the memory. Well, no, thinking back to Paloma Faith is just horrible. Beyond the selection of tracks (missing Sunny Afternoon cited above, lack Dandy, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, but these are personal preferences) or the selection of friends (everyone has their own, including those of Ray's most worthy people, of course, by that Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams at Jackson Brown, Alex Chilton, but also people that I left out the door, like Metallica or Jon Bon Jovi) what is puzzling is that there is no answer to the simplest of questions: Why? why remake popular songs with friends who have had better clothes, much better? Who loves the Kinks What do I do with Victoria sung by Mando Diao, also equal to 'original ? or Lola nasaleggiata brutally by Paloma Faith? e chi non li conosce che idea se ne fa? Sembra tutto un grande tributo all'ego di Mr. Davies che, intendiamoci, sta otto gradini sopra chiunque altro nel pop inglese anni 60, eccezion fatta per 4 liverpudliani, probabilmente però in fase carenziale di riconoscimenti. Sarebbe stato probabilmente meglio che il Ray avesse  preso alcuni (pochi) veri amici, attempati come lui, e dopo la cena ed il whiskino di rito, si fossero messi a registrare su un 4 piste delle versioni casalinghe dei brani, con quel suo vocione caldo e furbetto, un unplugged di coscritti, della prestigiosa leva del '46. Senza fare tardi beninteso, che l'età è quella. L'antologia si chiama See my friends ("guarda i miei amici") ma, se proprio we have to stay in titles kinksiani, "Autumn Almanac" would go very well. Too bad. And in the heat
revivalist draws live, Ali Campbell, white from black voice and the face of facciosa UB40, those of Red Red Wine, Rat in the kitchen and another thousand regghettini, some of which have been persuasive superdanzerecci soundtrack phenomenon of hormonal hypersecretion, other powerful hymns libertarian (Sing Our song down!), all still enjoyable.
Mr Campbell had already produced a duet with his personal friends in 2007 (he had pulled in, with the taste oxymoron Smokey Robinson and Mick Hucknall and Katie Melua) and then comes back with an idea a bit 'but banalotta potentially sympathetic, that is some great sing English songs (it's called the Great British Songs album). Too bad the younger Campbell knows not only the music there, and 80-82 years in this key boring us again Beatles (Got To Get You Into My Life, A Hard Days Night) Stones, Kinks, Hollies, Free. All this, however, recorded in 2010, and with plenty of samplers and electronic bells and whistles and Sly & Robbie at the console. From Psychoanalysis then that Campbell there are great songs in the 80 British and already so, to me, two or three titles would be. Net pastiglione is a very uniform, his voice not bad but not momentous - not Paul Robeson or Marvin Gaye, and he feels - that could be heard in dance but honest volumes becomes background music from a supermarket. It is easy to imagine the frozen food industry to ask, but who is reggae's version of Paint it black? We start sadly the case and if you have not before Ali Campbell himself, nobody will answer. However, do not ask the cashier, she does not know Campbell.
PS: While writing this biliosissima pulled, caught by the doubt of being excessive in my comments I surfed the www looking for other, more learned and more cutlery reviews. With great joy I discovered that the BBC is more sarcastic than me.

Sop Gold Desert Eagle Softgun

Klezmatics, Wonder Wheel (2008)

Tra le tante cose che il grande Woody Guthrie ha lasciato dietro di sè c'è anche una corposa raccolta di testi scritti e mai musicati. I suoi eredi, per musicarli, hanno coinvolto una prima volta Billy Bragg ed i Wilco, con ottimi risultati. Correva il 1998 e la combinazione del inglesissimo Bragg e degli americanissimi Wilco  had led to a very intense album, sure of success (as far as to say, a Grammy nomination), certainly unbalanced side to the stars and stripes, to the great wealth of steel guitars, banjo, Hammond organ.
Now, at the instigation of Nora Guthrie, we reprove the Klezmatics, with ingredients, this time is completely different. Although American passport, the Klezmatics are from a cultural area some distance from the American country-folk and their curiosity about how they could apply their jazz and klezmer styles kissed on the rhymes of verses of Guthrie was matched only by doubts about the success. I admit to having bought the CD with some hesitation, and the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing with an album of covers Guthrie's own version of klezmer terrified me. But with a great move displace all the Klezmatics and offer a kaleidoscope of melodic jazz and klezmer has little nothing. How un'insalatona where at the end everyone will harmonize well Klezmatics ranging from lullabies to Morricone, from Celtic music to the Middle East passing through psychedelia, places ecstatic vocals and distorted guitars, engaging in a good vocalist training Celtic (Susan McKeown) and a guitarist that can not be more American (Boo Reiner). It takes less than 7 tracks to get the first taste of klezmer and true, and in the meantime has passed through Arabian violin, Scottish mists, trumpets Mediterranean and tropical winds. Difficult to identify a favorite song, maybe the heartfelt gospel of "Holy round" or the frantic "Mermaid Avenue"-style zydeco calypseggiante, in the end what is most pleasing is the sense of an intoxicating cultural miscegenation, a musician and as a huge baobab has so many roots that no longer worth the trouble to count them. Oh, and also won the Grammy.

Jcpenney - Hair Straighteners

Look moon!

Basically, I come from is an evergreen.
I have three children and with each one of them had to come to the inevitable and understandable compromise on the music to listen together. They pull for The old farm ia-ia-oh, I might steer me toward a vintage Stooges.
Va da sé che che di una mia vittoria in questa diatriba non se ne parla neanche e l'unica alternativa ad una mia completa capitolazione è il compromesso, costituito da brani che non mi dispiacciano ma che possano nel contempo suscitare un loro interesse, ché poi, una volta che la melodia gli è entrata in testa, è fatta, sono capaci di canticchiarti pure i Talking Heads (gli Stooges no, non c'è verso).
Comunque, quel che volevo dire è che con un brano in particolare ho sempre riscosso un successo (leggi: approvazione) incredibile: si tratta di Guarda che luna interpretato da Petra Magoni&Ferruccio Spinetti.
Lei penso che sia una delle migliori voci presenti in Italia (non me ne intendo, ma potrebbe benissimo essere La migliore), lui è un altrettanto valente contrabbassista, già in forze agli Avion Travel, e insieme hanno formato questo duo, a nome Musica Nuda appunto, in cui le canzoni sono interpretate solo da loro due. Contrabbasso e voce dunque, nient'altro.
Questo era il loro primo album e fu una vera rivelazione, canzoni d'ogni dove e tempo (da Eleanor Rigby a Prendila Così a Monteverdi) reinterpretate in questa forma piuttosto inusuale. Tra l'altro pare che l'intero album sia stato registrato per gioco in un pomeriggio, e non è difficile crederlo tanto palesemente traspare certain moments of spontaneity.
Then they released more albums, just as beautiful and with some concessions to more collaborations (Stefano Bollani, for example) but that simply was not surprising in the first formula.
That song, Look moon, is also a classic interpretations of my a cappella (stuff that only my closest relatives and innocent can bear) and the other night I had the idea to propose to the smallest of my babies. As I listened to sing those words, the easy references to the moon and the sea, night, love ... seemed to be kidnapped.
Today I Did I dusted off the CD and made available on His battered radioCD.
Result: only song to be played from beginning to end that being inordinately impatient. He usually listens to a song for the first 7-10 seconds, then Skippa to the next. This did not, from beginning to end and back again.
I have to say that today I felt 30 times and then I'm getting a little boring, but overall, compared to the old farm, is a great step forward. For
Down on the street no time.
