Yeah i know, its been a while. Again. I was probably just waiting for an appropriate comeback, on style and all that, you know... so here it goes. The wonderfull (but) hideous Lewis Taylor meets Radiohead, to say the least. One of the most hypnotic, beautiful, obscure-but-at-the-same-time-so bright, uber badass tunes that i've heard in a long long time. You know that i wouldn't lie on that one.</div>

For the record: brutally honest and as much as i'd love to take ALL the credit for finding the golden egg (and really, i'd love to) we're gonna have to thank here mister 'M' and his good eye. Or actually EAR. May you be wondering.. <i>'is that for Monkey?'</i>. Nah, its not. But he's a shy gentleman though, so lets keep his identity a classified file, shall we? Yeah.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The great Terry Callier died last night at the age of 67. Reports are that he was found dead in his home, but no details were given of where 'home' was or the details surrounding his death.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today one of the most repeated headlines about it states that 'like England's Nick Drake, the Chicago-based Callier was largely overlooked for much of his artistic prime'. He truly was. He's often seen as one of those unsung heroes of jazz for releasing critically acclaimed albums that failed to find big commercial success. Now that doesn't change the fact that he was a huge influence and inspiration for the many people who got to appreciate his phenomenal talent. They (we) will probably agree with something he once said: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“People respond to me because I’m a throwback to an older tradition that believed you should do more than sing a song for an audience, that you should make people feel something. You can make accessible music and still sing about love and peace and truth and life and death. In the end, those are the only things that matter.”</i></span></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Farewell Terry, you made it count, you will be missed.</span><br />

'Go Away Little Girl' is a popular song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The lyrics consist of a young man asking an attractive young woman to stay away from him, so he won't be tempted to betray his steady girlfriend by kissing her.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Someone said about her (and i completely agree): 'Marlena Shaw doesn't take no mess. Tough as nails except where it counts, she says what she means and doesn't need to say it twice. Marlena knew what she wanted and stepped forward to get it. Her dusky voice ripened at Columbia in a songbook that smolders with the embers of old flames. With no nonsense and no niceties, she sings "Go Away Little Boy" for all the men who don't have the courage to satisfy a real W-O-M-A-N '</div>

This is hands down one of my favorite track of all times. And here good ol' James doesn't even sing..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A very fine gentleman with excellent musical taste and also one of my best friends in the world once played this tune for me and it totally blew up my mind. A review from the records label explains it the best: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">"King Heroin" is one of James Brown’s finest moments, at the time an urgently needed reality check on the growing heroin crisis swallowing much of inner city America, and appreciated today as one of the most breathtaking pieces of haunted funk and conscious soul ever released. Reissued here in all its glory and featuring the impossible to find instrumental reprise on the B-Side, “King Heroin” once again hits the streets to combat the uncertainty of post civil rights era urban malaise. Much more than a “message” record, more than a few of which James Brown & company put out with preachy fervor, "King Heroin" holds no bars in its blunt reviews of addiction and its painful fall-out, all from a man who himself struggled with the beast inside for decades. Beyond the sweet irony remains one of the most disturbing and starkly beautiful downtempo soul records ever, a perfect encapsulation of a lost era only dreamt of in weak blaxploitation Technicolor vision today. An essential piece of eternal soul history'</span><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br />

For years i tried in vain to buy it on vinyl, till this one day while i was living in Brixton (my friend sheltered me over there for months for which i will never be grateful enough) and i got to find a copy in rather good condition in some record store. I didn't have the money on me but i asked the guy to please keep it and promised to be back for it just the very next day. So,.. the day after i run to the shop and... dude is not there and record is not there either. 'What the hell?!' i said, but it didn't change the fact that my record was gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, a few years later i just happened to find another copy on eBay, at last!!!. The cover was slightly damaged but the record seemed to be in pristine condition so i didn't think it twice and just bought it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man, i don't have much.. not a property, not a car.. not even a bike! (it got stolen just the other nite in fact).. but i have my beloved James Brown/king Heroine Polydor 1972 vinyl record. So just in case, If someone is entertaining the idea of putting hands on it he best start considering to live without 'em. And i mean.</div>

What a voice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In case you're not familiar with him here Tom Waits can tell you the best:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
"Ken Nordine, yea I know that guy, I heard his voice 1000 times, he's the guy in the bus station that says "go ahead I'll keep an eye on your stuff for you," and you see him the next day walking around town wearing your clothes. He broadcasts from the boiler room of the Wilmont Hotel with 50,000 watts of power. I know that voice, he's the guy with the pitchfork in your head saying go ahead and jump, and he's the ambulance driver who tells you you're going to pull thru. He's the guy in the control tower who talked you down in a storm with a hole in your fuselage and both engines on fire. I heard him barking thru the Rose Alley Carnival strobe as samurai firemen were pulling hose. Yea he's the dispatcher with the heart of gold, the only guy up this late on the suicide hotline. Ken Nordine is the real angel sitting on the wire in the tangled matrix of cobwebs that holds the whole attic together. Yea Ken Nordine, he's the switchboard operator at the Taft Hotel, the only place in town you can get a drink at this hour. You know Ken Nordine, he's the lite in the icebox, he's the blacksmith on the anvil in your ear."</div>

And hey, you can bet i don't do such a thing for hardly anyone.</div>Alive.n.kicking Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00491784512346520916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182820180089401332.post-53992303302538757462010-10-06T17:07:00.000-07:002010-10-06T17:18:58.236-07:00No fun city..hum i think i might be going to Vancouver one of these days..<br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9410543?byline=0&portrait=0" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br />i smell GOOD pictures.Alive.n.kicking Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00491784512346520916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182820180089401332.post-49809126391867648342010-10-05T03:13:00.000-07:002013-09-12T10:27:46.401-07:00Honkeyfinger - Running on EmptyI'm gonna shoot this fine gentleman. <br />

AND Michael Stype is one of the most interesting frontmen ever. If you ask me who i'd like to put in front of my camera if i could posibly choose anyone in this world he would be up there on the list any day of the week. Period.<br /><br />There's this documentary called 'This is not a show' (Vincent Moon, 2008) that shows them playing at the Olympia theater in Dublin, i got to watch it last year at the In-edit music films festival and one thing i can say about it is that even if it turned out to be a bit too much of a 2 hours '..man i'm so conceptual i'm so artistic i'm so so damn cool filming videoclips i'm gonna jerk off on my own magnificence' exercise from Moon truth is that musically speaking is a great chance to see the band on a five nights public rehearshal which they recalled as an 'experiment in terror' BUT lucky enough makes a wicked compilation of a number of kick ass live performances of some of the tracks that would end up being in their album 'Accelerate' and later on at the double record 'Live at the Olympia'. <br /><br />Check it out or loose something good. Up to you.<br /><br />R.E.M. - THIS IS NOT A SHOW - TRAILER<br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/sdOlkpKXWEw/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sdOlkpKXWEw?fs=1&hl=es_ES"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sdOlkpKXWEw?fs=1&hl=es_ES" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />Now, in the meantime here they go 3 of my favourite R.E.M. songs.

He was definately living somewhere out of this world, dont ask me where..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last thing i heard about him was that he was about to marry old friend and former german tv star 'Supermommy' (just in case u cant picture her, think of a HUGE version of Oprah Winfrey)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">crazy huh..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wonder whats been of their lifes and stuff all along these years.

The spice of life, you know.<div style="text-align: justify;">In the last couple of days two different people whose only connection is probably being friends of mine and also proficient at shaving their incipient morning beard just told me exactly the same two things: 1. That they split with their long time sweethearts and 2. That they fell in love again. With another subject, i mean.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ha. I reckon that's just a clear and undeniable sign of pure good ol' school fortune. Damn, and i'm really glad for them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's entertain a minute trying to find an answer to the following question: whats better than feeling your blood running through your veins everytime you just cross with that particular whoever? Hum. Maybe my homemade cocktails. But now thinking.. nah, not even then. And oh boy, they ARE good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Right. This is a song for those ones who just found out that there're still matches in hand and wood in the oven. Congratulations you bastards.

The fine tune in the following video is actually part of its OST (which is in fact a very good source of GREAT music, so in the future i'll probably try to burn your ear with recurrent mentions to it. Please note that you ARE just being warned and dont act all surprised later, right?..)</div><br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/1aadmrs4Ou4/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1aadmrs4Ou4&hl=es_ES&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1aadmrs4Ou4&hl=es_ES&fs=1" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />..aint it good?

(which is greatly appreciated btw). Now he was wondering.. 'are you gonna fucking BLOG every once in a year or what?. Well those werent his exact words but.. in essence that's pretty much what he meant, so.. lets stick to it.<br /><br />In the meantime (till i find something so unbelievably intelligent to say).. this is a movie i watched the other night. Is in fact one of the best films i watched in a while,.. i later read that someone said about it something like 'there's a lot of hurting in it, and a lot of healing too'. I agree. And some great characters too, so.. go have a look. Adam Scott totally nails it and I think it kicks ass. Or as we say in Spain, es cojonuda.<br /><br />Ah, just one more thing.. never trust anyone who says that swearing is rude. Swearing is actually an art and he must certainly be an uptight prick. Screw him. Or her.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy the movie.<br /><br /><br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/8WwgfenauD0/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8WwgfenauD0&hl=es_ES&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8WwgfenauD0&hl=es_ES&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Alive.n.kicking Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00491784512346520916noreply@blogger.com2
