Nostalgia 77-An Angel With No Halo

“An Angel With No Halo” είναι το νέο single των Nostalgia 77. Το καινούργιο τους  album, “A Journey Too Far”, θα κυκλοφορήσει τον Φλεβάρη από την Tru Thoughts records.


To the End

Και καθώς πάμε στο τέλος άλλης μιας χρονιάς....
ο στίχος που γυρνάει στο μυαλό μου με το τέλος αυτής της χρονιάς είναι από από το τραγούδι των Blur ...
WELL YOU AND I
COLLAPSED IN LOVE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE MADE IT, YES IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE
MADE IT TO THE END

Το τραγούδι αυτό μου αφήνει την αισιοδοξία του εφόσον υπάρχουν δίπλα μας οι άνθρωποι που αγαπάμε τα πάντα είναι δυνατά ακόμα και να τα καταφέρουμε.
 

 αγαπημένο κομμάτι για το τέλος αλλά και την αρχή

To The End (blur cover) by Rabbit Gold



σας εύχομαι καλή χρονιά και ότι και αν είστε όπου και αν είστε να αγαπάτε αυτούς που έχετε δίπλα σας.

Daft Punk - Instant Crush feat Julian Casablancas

Σήμερα το πρωί είχα ένα chat για το αν είναι καλό το τελευταίο album και ποιο είναι το καλύτερο κομμάτι από τον τελευταίο δίσκο των Daft Punk.
Το album το θεωρό πολύ μέτριο για Daft Punk (πέστε να με φάτε) και από τους συγκικριμένους θα περίμενα κάτι περισσότερο από απλή αναπαραγωγή των disco funk ρυθμών από τις αρχές των 80s.
Και όσον αφορά το καλύτερο κομμάτι το πρώτο που μου ήρθε στο μυαλό είναι αυτό....

οπότε απολαύστε το

Beastie Boys - Gratitude

Υπάρχουν κάποιες μπάντες που θεωρείς των εαυτό σου τρομερά τυχερό όταν την έχεις δει live.
Πάντα παρακαλάς να μην συμβεί κάτι,μην διαλυθούν και να βρεθείς την σωστή στιγμή στο σωστό μέρος ώστε να τις δεις.  
Μια από αυτές για μένα είναι οι beastie boys.
Ευτυχώς πρόλαβα να τους δω το απίστευτα δυνατό live τους που τρια τρομερά ταλαντούχα άτομα κατάφερναν να απογειώνουν το κάθε κοινό.

Το Gratitude είναι από το album Check Your Head toy 1992 και το βίντεο είναι εμπνευσμένο από το  Live at Pompeii των Pink Floyd.



Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan

Ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα κομμάτια των Black Sabbath είναι το Planet Caravan.

Το τραγούδι που περιγράφει την πτήση ενώς ζεγαριού στο διάστημα.
Ψυχεδελικό όσο δεν πάει ένα κομμάτι που περιγράφει όσο καλύτερα γίνεται το mood των αρχών της δεκαετίας του εβδομήντα.

Το κομμάτι περιλαμβανόταν στο 2ο album των Black Sabbath  .Η αρχική ονομασία του δίσκου ήταν "War Pigs" αλλά η "Vertigo" επέμεινε να αλλάξει σε "Paranoid" για να μη δημιουργηθούν προβλήματα λόγω του πολέμου του Βιετνάμ.

 Το κομμάτι έχει τύχει πλήθος remix και διασκεύων.

The Underground Youth - Masquerade

Οι The Underground Youth είναι από το Manchester και δημιουργήθηκαν το 2009
Ο ήχος τους είναι σκοτεινός και ψυχεδελικός με σαφείς επιρροές από Velvet Underground και Jesus and Mary chain.
Είναι ο ήχος που θες για μοναχικά χειμωνιάτικα βράδια με πολύ αλκοόλ.
Το κομμάτι Masquerade είναι από την τελευταία τους δουλειά "The prefect enemy for god" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Αύγουστο από την Fuzz Club Records.

Theodore - The Dog Barks (live at The Church Studios UK)

Ο Theodore έκανε το ντεμπούτο του στην δισκογραφία το 2012 με το album του ‘7’.
Την παραγωγή υπογράφουν ο  Clive Martin μαζί με τον δικό μας Vassilikos.
O δίσκος έχει  εμφανείς επιρροές από Muse και Radiohead, θυμίζοντας ανά στιγμές την μελωδικότητα και την μελαγχολία καλλιτεχνών όπως ο Jeff Buckley και ο Nick Cave και με μια κινηματογραφική ποιότητα που φέρνει στο μυαλό soundtracks από ταινίες του Tim Burton αλλά και cinematic orchestra.

Το αγαπημένο μου από αυτό το δίσκο είναι το dog barks που μπορείτε να απολαύσετε εδώ.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - War Zone

Οι  Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. είναι ένα μουσικό project από το Detroit και όχι μια κλασική μπάντα.
Από το 2009 πειραματίζονται με την μουσική πάνω σε indie pop ήχους.
Όπως εξηγούν οι ίδιοι για το project τους αλλά και το όνομά τους:
"The name for us was just a way to identify our crazy new project that had no limitations. People have no idea how we are going to sound, and so it gives them a reason to actually take some time to listen to the music."

έδω το War Zone

Enjoy

Σαν πιτσιρικάς το είχα ξεσκίσει στα mixtapes τότε σε TDK 60 και 90 λεπτών που χάριζα δεξιά και αριστερά.

Είναι πραγματικά ένα καταπληκτικό κομμάτι που ακόμα και σήμερα ακούγεται και γράφετε στα mixtapes.

Majical Cloudz - Savage

Majical Cloudz are a Canadian indie pop duo based in Montreal consisting of singer-songwriter Devon Welsh and producer and live collaborator Matthew Otto.

"Savage" is a song they have been playing live for most of 2013.

As they explain about the song
"Savage" is about a friendship, it's mysteries and it's moments of excitement, and the way drugs played into all of it. It's about letting go of a relationship as it changes and the emotions that go along with that.
The song was originally a lot more minimal, just piano loops and bass. As we played it live it evolved a little bit, Matt started incorporating reverb swells and exploring the ways those could be used (along with a number of other additions) to create dynamics in the song.

Manic Street Preachers- Williams Last Words

This song is from Journal for Plague Lovers is the ninth studio of Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 18 May 2009, through record label Columbia, and features posthumous lyrics by Richey Edwards, who vanished on 1 February 1995, and was presumed deceased in 2008. It is the only Manic Street Preachers album in which the lyrics for every song were written solely by Edwards. The album cover is an original painting by Jenny Saville, who also contributed artwork for The Holy Bible.

The top four UK supermarkets stocked the CD in a plain slipcase, as the cover was deemed "inappropriate". Bradfield regards the decision as "utterly bizarre", and has commented: "You can have lovely shiny buttocks and guns everywhere in the supermarket on covers of magazines and CDs, but you show a piece of art and people just freak out ".

 "William's Last Words"is the final track and  has been compared to a suicide note, and although Nicky Wire rejects this suggestion, Bradfield observes, "you can draw some pretty obvious conclusions from the lyrics"

Happy birthday Mr Hendrix

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix born in November 27, 1942 .

 Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history , and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.

Hendrix was inspired musically he favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
For the first few rehearsals he used Vox and Fender amplifiers. When he sat in with Cream in October 1966, he played through a new line of high-powered guitar amps being made by a London drummer turned audio engineer Jim Marshall they proved perfect for Hendrix's needs.
The Marshall amplifiers were crucial in shaping his heavily overdriven sound, enabling him to master the use of feedback as a musical effect, creating what author Paul Trynka described as a "definitive vocabulary for rock guitar".

 He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Hendrix first heard a wah-wah pedal used with an electric guitar in Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses", released in May 1967.
In July, while playing gigs at the Scene club in New York City, Hendrix met Frank Zappa, whose band, the Mothers of Invention were performing at the adjacent Garrick Theater. Zappa's application of the effect pedal fascinated Hendrix, who experimented with one later that evening. The wah pedals Hendrix owned were designed by the Thomas Organ Company and manufactured in Italy by JEN Electtronica Pescara for Vox. He can be heard using the effect on: "Up from the Skies", "Little Miss Lover", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", and "Still Raining, Still Dreaming".

Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."

Jimi Hendrix was the greatest instrumentalist of all time.The drugs addiction has ended his carrer so soon but his work will live forever

So happy birthday Mr Hendrix and thanks you for the music trip.

Animal Prufrock - Love Me Love Me

Animal Prufrock created Bitch and Animal after being told that their gender was too confusing for the the faculty of a conservatory theater school in 1994.
Animal’s first solo album was released on November 9, 2010 through Righteous Babe Records. congratulations; thank you + i’m sorry was recorded over a period of two years in San Francisco and New Orleans. Produced by Ani DiFranco, all the songs are animal’s layered performance but ani jumps in with back-up vocals on “voglio,” “cosmic tranny,” and “i like you” and adds guitar on “liberation” and bass on  “i like you.”

My favorite song is "Love Me Love Me "

Leon - Someday (somewhere, maybe somebody)

León" is singer/songwriter Leon Veremis from Athens, Greece.

Born in London to Greek parents, Leon has since been a traveler. As a teenager, he soon drew the attention of the music community in Athens by forming bands such as Mimosa’s Dream.

In late 2009 he formed the multi-member band “León” accompanied by other young multi-instrumentalists of the city.

His music is a multicultural blend of sounds influenced by a variety of genres such as Greek and Mediterranean music, the new wave and pop of the 70’s, the indie rock scene of Brooklyn and the french euro-disco music of the 90’s.

León’s debut album “Futrue” (released December ‘10) was produced by Ottomo and Josh Clark (Beirut).

 you can listen Leon - Someday (somewhere, maybe somebody)


Walkabouts - "Feel like going home"

Satisfied Mind is the 6th album by The Walkabouts released in 1993 on Sub Pop Records. It consists entirely of acoustic covers of roots music and compositions by modern singers-songwriters.
Satisfied Mind is a definitive artistic statement masquerading as a loose-knit collection of acoustic covers. Sometimes a group's selection of cover material, combined with their ability to make the songs their own, winds up revealing as much about their craft as their original music, and such is the case here; mining the work of diverse artists like the Carter Family, Gene Clark, Mary Margaret O'Hara, John Cale, and Nick Cave.
Satisfied Mind represents the purest evocation to date of the Walkabouts' aesthetic and its standing at the crossroads of country, rock, folk, and punk. By casting well-known songs in an entirely new light -- Patti Smith's "Free Money" becomes an ominous waltz, while Charlie Rich's "Feel Like Going Home" is renewed as an epic dirge -- the album makes explicit all of the implicit connections in the Walkabouts' work. By extension, it underlines the connections binding the spectrum of roots music as well; Satisfied Mind doesn't simply suggest that diverse sounds can coexist together -- it proves that they always have.

Walkabouts bring the Americana sound in Europe in to 90s and the Europe listeners love them.

Listen here Charlie Rich's "Feel Like Going Home"

Bejar called Destroyer's style, for the album Your Blues, "European Blues" but has since stated that this description has come to haunt him. He has stated that the album was an attempt to emulate musician Scott Walker. It is often compared to David Bowie; the band's admitted influences are Pavement, Guided by Voices, as well as other indie and shoegaze bands. Bejar's lyric stylings are also noteworthy for their cryptic poetry, which frequently vex and intrigue listeners. Bejar openly borrows phrases from other artists and a variety of other sources, even political rhetoric (ex: Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire"). Your Blues presented a new direction in Destroyer's style by introducing orchestral elements as well as a heavy reliance on midi instruments.

Evripidis and his tragedies feat. Laura Antolín - Just a kleenex

Evripidis and his Tragedies began as a personal musical project of Evripidis Sabatis , a classically trained pianist and illustrator, while playing his piano and singing back in Athens. His heart led him to Barcelona where he started doing concerts alone, mostly in seedy bars. Very soon he discovered that some of his friends, already members of other groups of the vibrant Barcelonan indie scene, were really talented and fun to play with. Whether it was destiny that they gravitated to the project or that he invited them to join, the resulting symphony of groundbreaking ideas began making the perfect soundtrack to life in the city.
