Amy MacDonland - This is the life

Scoperta da poco anche se non nuovissima

Ed ecco il testo:

Oh the wind whistles down

The cold dark street tonight

And the people they were dancing to the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair

While the shy tormented youth sit way over there

And the songs they get louder

Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four

And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door

But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four

So you're sitting there with nothing to do

Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew

And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs

Thinking this is the life

And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Fammi Vedere i Tuoi Genitali - Show me your genitals

Un po' di trash non fa mai male. Trovo divertente questa paradio del tipico maschilista incallito.

Ed ecco il testo:

Show me your genitals, your genitals…

What! Show me your genitals…

Genitalia! Show me your genitals, your genitals…

What! Show me your genitals… Genitalia!

You’re talkin’ to me about stuff…why?

I’d rather see your titties.

Now you’re talking about other stuff…why?

I’d much rather see your titties.

I can’t have sex with your personality,

and I can’t put my penis in your college degree,

and I can’t shove my fist in your childhood dreams,

so why you sharing all this information with me?

It’s not sexist ’cause I’m saying it in a song,

That’s right *****, now take off your thong…

And show me your genitals, your genitals…

What!

Show me your genitals…

Your genitalia!

Show me your genitals, your genitals…

What!

Show me your genitals…

Your genitalia!

Knock knock, who’s there? It’s me…

Wondering why you’re not naked.

Know knock, who’s there? Me again…

Still wondering why you’re not naked.

I wanna see your bum, I don’t care what you say,

No I don’t have feelings cause feelings are gay.

Something something in the month of May,

Bitches love my penis cause it’s really big.

Girls’ brains are much stupider than men’s are,

so they should always listen to us cause we’re smart.

Women are only good for three things,

cooking, cleaning…and vaginas.

Show me your genitals, your genitals…

What!

Show me your genitals…

Your genitalia!

Show me your genitals, your genitals…

What!

Show me your genitals…

Your genitalia!

I can give good sex to you…

cause I’m really good at sex.

I can give good sex to you…

cause I’m really good at sex.

Ahh yeah, that’s right, shake your…bums.

I’m out of here…I gotta go have sex…

with a lot of girls.

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Ecco il testo:

I'm gonna fight 'em all

A nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes

Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that aint what you want to hear

But thats what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones

Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita

Far from this opera for evermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding

Right before the lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

And I will sing no more

And the stains coming from my blood

Tell me go back home

Marta Sui Tubi - Cenere

Ci sono una miriade di piccoli gruppi italiani. Ogni giorno ne scopro di nuovi.

Oggi vi faccio ascoltare i Marta sui tubi. La canzone si intitola Cenere.

Marta sui Tubi - Cenere from Cyc Promotions on Vimeo.

Ecco qui di seguito il testo:

Odio sorprendermi e stare a un passo dal bisogno di volere fare ancora un passo in più sei schiuma sulle onde dei pensieri che si affannano ßsulle rocce calde di quest'isola

comprerei da te...

ogni sorta di magia

ma se tu

vendi solo fuoco

brucerò sulla mia stessa cenere

E come anelli intorno al nulla

galleggiamo nell'inganno di un

sorriso

che ci schiaccia ma che non

c'incastra più

cerchi concentrici se vuoi

remavo contro ai tuoi

miracoli

gettavo ombre sui miei limiti

e non ho più...

più pensato ai sogni che ora

comprerei da te...

ogni sorta di magia

ma se tu

vendi solo fuoco

pagherò sulla mia stessa cenere

The Kills - Alphabet Pony

Ecco il testo:

He's the alphabet pony

He's the alphabet pony

Phoney monkey,

toy money,

loose ends,

soda hands,

pink plastic Jesus on the dashboard

Just saying

He's the alphabet pony

He's the alphabet pony

No fun,

not happy,

got no money,

need a friend,

a volcano dish on a mountain-top to live in

He's the alphabet pony

He's the alphabet pony

I cancel Sunday,

cancel Monday,

don't look at me,

I've running on a no-tomorrow road at great speed,

n-n-n-need a punch,

a pop, a bang, a different song,

like a nice new home needs a mean stray dog.

He's the alphabet pony

He's the alphabet pony

Oh we go up

down up

down up

down town again

we like the walk, the talk,

don't stop and fall into the quicksand.

Sharp teeth, dry heat,

can't breathe too many sins,

don't forget my cigarettes and get something that we can drink.

He's the alphabet pony

He's the alphabet pony

Babalot - La lavatrice e il muro

Scartabellando tra i miei mp3 ho scoperto (riscoperto) questa canzone dei Babalot. La lavatrice e il muro che potete ascoltare online qua.

Mi piace il ritmo, il testo trova il tempo che trova :))))

Ecco il testo:

uso le scale quasi sempre

per non incontrare gente in ascensore

non vedo niente di inquietante nello spazio

tra la lavatrice e il muro

fare la spesa e poi rimpiangere

il pane a fette che già si è indurito

nello svegliarmi quasi sempre c'è

una domanda che mi dà il prurito

esiste o non esiste niente

possibilmente riposante

per vivere felicemente

che non sia fare il cantante?

e fare a meno pure di fumare

e bere birra alla mattina presto

sarei gentile e disponibile

persino con me stesso

e tra la lavatrice e il muro

saprò dirigere il mio pensiero

sopra una fetta di pane duro

visitare il mondo intero

esiste o non esiste niente

possibilmente riposante

per vivere felicemente

che non sia fare il cantante?

Cold Play: Viva la Vida

Appena era uscita non mi era piaciuta, ma ora la trovo bidda :)

Ed ecco qui di seguito il testo:

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning

I sleep alone Sweep the streets

I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

David Bowie - Starman

Una canzone mitica :)

Ed ecco il testo:

Goodbye love

Didnt know what time it was the lights were low oh how

I leaned back on my radio oh oh

Some cat was layin down some rock n roll lotta soul, he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade a ade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase ha hase

That werent no d.j. that was hazy cosmic jive

Theres a starman waiting in the sky

Hed like to come and meet us

But he thinks hed blow our minds

Theres a starman waiting in the sky

Hes told us not to blow it

Cause he knows its all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you ho ho

Hey, thats far out so you heard him too! o o

Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two

Look out your window I can see his light a ight

If we can sparkle he may land tonight a ight

Dont tell your poppa or hell get us locked up in fright

Theres a starman waiting in the sky

Hed like to come and meet us

But he thinks hed blow our minds

Theres a starman waiting in the sky

Hes told us not to blow it

Cause he knows its all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

Starman waiting in the sky

Hed like to come and meet us

But he thinks hed blow our minds

Theres a starman waiting in the sky

Hes told us not to blow it

Cause he knows its all worthwhile

He told me:

Let the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

Saybia - It's ok love

Ecco un altra canzone dei Saybia.

Ecco il testo:

Caught in a well

between heaven and hell

it's getting lonely out here

highways and hotels

and head liner shows

it's all just making me sad

Sorry if I ever let you down

I never meant to

stayed inside the only world I knew

'till I forgot

that nothing is as beautiful as when

I am with you

and life isn't life out there

without you here

Just when I thought

there was nobody out there

no one who quite understood me

I glanced to the side

and I found you there smiling

patiently holding my hand

saying over and over

it's ok love

easy love

I'm here

So finally I'm ready to reveal

what my heart tells me

bring out all that's good inside of me

and let it shine

knowing that I'll never be alone

while I'm with you

and life isn't life out there

without you here

Just when I thought

there was nobody out there

no one who quite understood me

I glanced to the side

and I found you there smiling

patiently holding my hand

saying over and over

it's ok love

easy love

I'm yours

Little 15 - Depeche Mode

Ecco il testo:

Little fifteen

You help her forget

The world outside

Youre not part of it yet

And if you could drive

You could drive her away

To a happier place

To a happier day

That exists in your mind

And in your smile

She could escape there

Just for a while

Little fifteen

Little fifteen

Why take the smooth with the rough

When things run smooth

Its already more than enough

She knows your mind

Is not yet in league

With the rest of the world

And its little intrigues

Do you understand

Do you know what she means

As time goes by

And when youve seen what shes seen

You will

Little fifteen

Little fifteen

Why does she have to defend

Her feelings inside

Why pretend

Shes not had a life

A life of near misses

Now all that she wants

Is three little wishes

She wants to see with your eyes

She wants to smile with your smile

She wants a nice surprise

Every once in a while

She wants to see with your eyes

She wants to smile with your smile

She wants a nice surprise

Every once in a while

Little fifteen

Chemo limo - Regina Spektor

Scoperta oggi Regina Spektor. Qualcuno la conosceva già ?

Trovo questa canzone stupenda.

Ed ecco il testo:

I had a dream

Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over

Baby-sat all four of my kids

Then in my dream

I told the doctor off

He said if you don't want to do it

then you don't have to do it

He said the truth is

You'll be okay, anyway

Then in my dream

Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin and the doctor

Went and had a talk with my boss

Something about insurance policies

They kept the door closed at all times

I couldnt hear or see

When they came out they said

You'll be okay, anyway

And I smiled cause I'd known it all along.

No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you

I don't have to pay for this shit

I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo

and on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine

No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you

I ain't about to to die like this

I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo

And besides this shit is making me tired

it's making me tired

it's making me tired

You know I plan to retire some day,

And I'm gonna go out in style

go out in style

This shit it's making me tired

it's making me tired

it's making me tired

I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style

When I woke up

My kids were being quiet

I knew it was a dream right away

I called the limousine company

Then I got dressed

I dressed the kids as well

The limousine pulled in

And we piled in

The doctor he asked which way we were headed

I said, Sir, let's just go west and he listened obediently,

Sophie only wants to listen to radio BBC

Michael sat on my knees and whispered to me

All about the meanies

Jacqueline was being such a big girl

with her cup of tea looking out of the window

And Barbara

She looks just like my mom

Oh my god, Barbara

She looks so much like my mom

No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you

I don't have to pay for this shit

I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo

and on any given day I'd rather ride a limousine

No thank you no thank you no thank you no thank you

I ain't about to die like this

I couldn't afford chemo like I couldn't afford a limo

And besides this shit is making me tired

it's making me tired

it'smaking me die

You know I plan to retire some day,

and I'm-a gonna go out in style

go out in style

This shit it's making me tired

it's making me tired

it's making me tired

I'm-a gonna go out in style go out in style

Style

Style

Style?

Style.

Style..?

Style

Style..??

Style.

I had a dream

Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over and

Tutto Bene - Negrita

Lasciando andare iTunes per la sua strada ogni tanto si scoprono belle canzoni.

Oggi mi sono imbattuto in Tutto Bene dei negrita. Su Last.fm la trovate qua.

Ho trovato su youtube ho trovato un video ma la qualità audio è pessima.

Testo:

Non si risolverà più

e allora provo a darmi pace

ma ormai non c'e' più la tua voce

E questa stanza è vuota

Nessun rumore per non pensare

Eppure il vento ascolta

Saluta tutti alla finestra

La luce spettina alle candele

E la mia pace trema

Ma di piacere,

se posso avere

Anna non ancora, ancora no,

non è il momento

Lascia che sia il tempo

ad inventare un'altra

fine a tutto

Anna non ancora, ancora no,

ti stai sbagliando

Lascia che proviamo un'altra volta

a fare finta che va tutto bene...

Tutto bene

L'estate spesso inganna

T'invita sempre su una spiaggia

Poi scende il buio

e tu sei nudo e solo

senza parole, se non per dire

Anna non ancora, ancora no,

non è il momento

Lascia che sia il tempo

ad inventare un'altra

fine a tutto

Anna non ancora, ancora no,

ti stai sbagliando

Lascia che proviamo un'altra volta

a fare finta che va tutto bene...

Tutto bene

Smells Like Teen Spirit eseguita da un orchestra di Ukulele

La famosa canzone dei Nirvana rivisitata.:)

Concerto di Shantel - WUK Vienna

Sabato concerto interessante al WUK di Vienna. Interessante sia per la musica sia per il luogo. Il WUK è una vecchia fabbrica ristrutturata in cui hanno luogo mostre, concerti, incontri culturali e cosi via. Ricorda il leoncavallo di Milano con l'unica differenza che il WUK è un pochino più istutizionalizzato (non entro nel merito se sia un fatto positivo o negativo). Anche il pubblico era interessante: era rappresentata ogni generazione. (Presto in arrivo le foto della serata).

Protagonista Shantel e la sua orchestra. Musica balcanica. Una delle loro canoni più famose è Disko Partizani.

Gruppo scoperto grazie ai Gogol Bordello. Il concerto non è stato male, soprattutto il dopo quando Shantel lascia le vesti di cantante per mettere quelle di Deejay.

Sinceramente preferisco i Gogol Bordello, in particolare le loro performance live sono incredibile, ti stordisco per quanto coinvolgenti siano. Qua e qua trovate delle foto.

Una delle canzoni che preferisco è "Start wearing purple" di cui posseggo fiero l'omonima maglietta.

Nota di servizio: guardatevi Everything is Illuminated in cui Eugene Hütz (voce dei gogol bordello) recita.

Giovanni Allevi: un genio o solo una buona operazione di Marketing ?

Tempo fa pubblicai un post in cui dicevo di aver scoperto (in ritiardo) Giovanni Allevi.

Questo sembra aver scatenato un putiferio: 25 commenti per il mio blog sono un evento senza precedenti e senza "antecedenti" :)

Alcuni dicono che sia solo un bluff altri che sia realmente un genio.

Voi che dite ?

Essendo io, ignorante, posso solo dire se mi piace o no. La sua musica suscita delle emozioni, mi piace il personaggio.

Poi non so dire se è un genio o meno. :)

Saybia - A way out - Una via d'uscita

Chi non cerca una via d'uscita ?

Un altra canzone dei Saybia che mi piace molto.

Ecco il video:

Ecco il testo:

What if I stay one more day?

Only to see you walk away

Leaving this man for everything else

I'm trying to open up tonight

I need to know why we fight

Am I the wall we both climb?

If you walk away without a warning

If you find a way out

A way out

A way out

Cigarette's lit, and so am I

In a room full of smoke and hidden goodbyes

With walls caving in on you and I

Why should I stay one more day?

If you walk away without a warning

If you find a way out

A way out

A way out

Rino Gaetano: quale storia e' quella vera ?

Ultimamente, come ho detto in un recente post, ho riscoperto Rino Gaetano. Per farmi un quadro più completo della sua vita e dell'uomo mi sono guardato su Raiclick sia la fiction e la trasmissione di Minoli: Rino Vive.

Ora appena torno in Italia vado a cercare una biografia.
:
Fra le due versioni ci sono delle discordanze. Per citarne alcune:
1) come è nata la canzone Nuntereggae più:
Nella Fiction nata da un incontro casuale con il matto del villaggio mentre nella trasmissione di Minoli dovuto alla risposta di un caro amico di Rino.
2) il fatto che avesse una sorella (nella fiction non se ne parla nemmeno)
3) il rapporto con Venditti (molto forte a quanto sembra nella trasmissione di Minoli)

Se diamo per scontato che la trasmissione di Minoli è affidabile perché nella fiction non hanno tenuto conto della storia vera ?

Shanty Man's Life: una canzone una poesia

Una canzone stupenda di Mark Lanegan. Come al solito quando mi fisso su una canzone la ascolto fino alla nauesa. Ora sono arrivato ad ascoltare 27 volte di seguito.

Ecco il video:



Ed ecco il testo:
Steven Harrison Paulus
*note:it has been said that the version
of this song done by Dave Van Ronk is the one
that inspired Lanegan to record it.

A shanty man's life
Is a wearisome one
Though some say it's free from care
It's the swinging of an axe
From morning 'till night
In the forest wild and drear

Transported as we are
From a lady so fair
To the banks of some lonely stream
Where the wolf, bear, and owl
Give a terrifying howl
And disturb our nightly dreams

Oh sleeping at night
In our bunks without cheer
While the cold winter winds do blow
But as soon as the morning
Star does appear
To the wild woods we must go

Had we ale, wine, or beer
Our spirits far to cheer
When we're in those woods so wild
Where a glass of whiskey shone
When we're in the woods alone
For to pass away our long exile

A shanty man's life
Is a wearisome one
Tho some say it's free from care
It's the swinging of an axe
From morning 'till night
In the forest wild and drear

Mio Fratello e' figlio Unico: Rino Gaetano

Recentemente ho ricominciato ad ascoltare Rino Gaetano. Ascoltate con attenzione Mio fratello e' figlio unico. Gia' il titolo di per se e' geniale.
