Am o adevarata de colectie de coveruri, dar nu ma gandisem la un post numai cu coveruri pana cand am vazut posturile de pe blogul dlui clover (thanks again for the inspiration! :)
Menomena este o trupa de indie rock din Portland, Oregon. S-au lansat in 2000 datorita Pitchfork Media care i-a promovat in "New Music Section", si le-a acordat un calificativ foarte bun pentru primul lor EP, I am the Fun Blame Monster! - self-released in 2003. In mare masura, Pitchfork i-a propulsat (ca pe multi altii, de altfel) spre un contract cu o casa de discuri pentru primul lor album, Under an Hour aparut in 2005. In 2007 a aparut Friend and Foe, cel mai recent album Menomena (Barsuk Records)
Julien Dore a castigat in iunie 2007 concursul Nouvelle Star, un fel de American...err, French Idol. We can all see he's golden alright. A reusit sa faca piesa Moi Lolita sa sune chiar bine, who would've thought it was even possible? Golden Boy can sing.
in cuvintele lor despre mintea de pe urma, instinct si glume proaste ... later edit: despre things that go around and eventually do come around.
There is no deadline There is no schedule There is no plan we can fall back on The road this far can't be retraced There is no punch line anybody can tack on There are loose ends by the score What did I come down here for? You You
Did you stay up all night or did you hide it all away to make us think is this what I think it is it's the ink on your fingers that makes you sick what do you think?
When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know - downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose?
Soltero este proiectul lui Tim Howard. Noul album Soltero, You're No Dream - out April 11, 2008!
"Sublimely baroque.... To our ears, Soltero sounds like Grandaddy jamming with Ryan Adams, which is to say that the band should be much bigger than it is. As soon as we heard Howard sing, 'She was drunk and I was high/ And so was she and so was I/ With the blessings of the backdoor punks/ And the savoir-faire of fall-down drunks' (from the new song 'Acadian Coast'), we knew this was a kindred barroom spirit." - James Reed, Boston Globe
So look me in the eyes under expanding winter skies You'll find a feeling there that never knows the cold Look me in the eyes and the skeptic in me dies The skeptic is a fool We are exceptions to the rule
Singer/songwriter canadian. Dupa o serie de inregistrari facute ori la el acasa, ori in cadrul unor labeluri foarte mici, Chad a semnat cu SubPop records in 2005.
Okkervil River sunt o trupa de folk/indie rock din Austin, Texas. Cantece hipnotizante, genul care iti paralizeaza gandirea si iti provoaca un mare gol in stomac. Daca, inainte de a-i descoperi, as fi inchis ochii si m-as fi gandit la Texas, asta ar fi auzit. Per-fect, si nu spun asta des.
Solistul Will Sheff canta si in formatia Shearwater.
And the doorknob becomes your enemy, and the window you see through a haze. Dear Mother, I wish you could stand inside and see all my bad days. My bad days all got together and they stood in a row for me, and I plunged deep into the row, and I couldn’t hear and I couldn’t see. And I came out after thousands came and thousands passed away. Now I stand all alone at the foot of the stairs and I wait for more bad days.
The Twilight Sad inseamna James Graham, Andy MacFarlane, Craig Orzel si Mark Devine. S-au format prin 2006 intr-un orasel in apropiere de Glasgow, iar albumul de debut a iesit anul trecut si e intitulat Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters.
Desi azi este una dintre acele zile de vineri cand in playlist am numai Hurricane Jane, m-am hotarat ca e momentul pentru un post pe care l-am tot amanat (prietenii stiu de ce!)
Un cantaret care inseamna foarte mult pentru mine, si o piesa care inseamna inca si mai mult. Dar nu asta este motivatia postului, ci vocea lui FENOMENALA, timbrul special, versurile, simplitatea (imi spunea cineva la un moment dat ca ceea ce e simplu e mai mereu frumos)
I just love Damien Jurado. Si culmea, omu' asta provine din Seattle! Once again, thank you SubPop/Secretly Canadian.
Tindersticks este o trupa din Nottingham formata la inceputul anilor '90. Wikipedia zice ca desi trupa nu a ajuns mainstream, in Anglia exista un adevarat cult Tindersticks. Asa o fi. Nu e si cazul Romaniei, desigur.
In cei 10 ani de activitate, pana la infarctul ce i-a fost fatal solistului Mark Sandman in 1999, Morphine nu s-a bucurat intr-adevar de succes decat in Franta, si poate in alte cateva tari europene. Spre deosebire de alti performeri carora moartea subita le-a adus faima, fie ea si post-mortem, in cazul lui Sandam acest lucru nu prea s-a intamplat. Eu am descoperit Morphine in liceu, si din nefericire, nu-mi mai amintesc circumstantele in care i-am auzit pentru prima oara. Ca sa fiu fie si doar partial multumita de acest post, ar trebui sa uploadez cel putin 5 piese Morphine. O sa las insa bucuria descoperirii celor care vor fi incantati de piesa pe care am ales-o, The Night.
Recomandarile mele: Hanging on a curtain, Yes, Honey White, Buena, You look like rain, Let's take a trip together, You speak my language.
Cu alte cuvinte, feel-good tunes for a truly lousy day. Cine are o problema cu romgleza, sa ma pupe in le derriere.
Acum, in ceea ce priveste Black Kids, sunt o formatie relativ noua, formata prin 2005-2006 in Florida batraneilor ce asteapta moartea in bermude si polo-uri pastel. Inca o formatie cu mult membri si titluri de cantece dintre cele mai suprinzatoare... pe mine ma inveselesc oricand i-as asculta, asa ca m-am gandit sa mai apelez la ei inca o data, taman azi, in ziua glorioasa de 8 martie. MERCI J. pentru cel mai frumos martisor pe care l-am primit.
In al doilea rand, dintr-un post cu feel-good music nu puteau lipsi Guillemots.
Ma intreb ce i-ar spune Arthur. Ma intreb daca s-ar plimba cu ea pe calea Victoriei, daca si-ar tine mainile indoite la spate si s-ar uita in pamant in timp ce ea ar povesti vrute si nevrute. Oare si-ar petrece amiezile insorite la o terasa in pasajul Villacrosse? Ar manca briose si ar purta ochelari retro?
Este una dintre serile in care desi am de lucru destul de mult, iar maine am multa treaba, nu reusesc sa ma apuc. In plus, Mr. Rocky Votolato - alintat Rovo - nu ma ajuta deloc, fiindca ma trage la uitat in gol, si oftat in serie. I'm a serial sigher. A chain sigher.
