KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree

Ella se lo guisa y ella se lo come. Su estilo descrito como "acoustic extravaganza" en su propia web nos muestra en este video lo que es autosuficiencia... Bajo mi punto de vista tiene su propio arte dentro de otro arte.

Algo como..."I need you" es una cancion de los Beatles que esta dentro del album Help! Es la segunda cancion grabada de George Harrison y se grabo el 15 y el 16 de febrero de 1965. La letra confesional es el conmovedor pensamiento sobre la relacion entre Harrison y Pattie Boyd, a la que conoció en Marzo de 1964 durante el rodaje de A Hard Day's Night( Se casaron en enero de 1966)...

Encontré este video una madrugada, ante todo me parece una joya, pero en particular he hecho este post y no otro porque en este video sale "stonehenge" lugar donde estuve el pasado verano, jejeje. Una autentica sorpresa que duras penas palia la decepción que me lleve al contemplar el tamaño de las piedras... Ah, y una gran cancion de Harrison por supuesto.

Oasis My Generation (Live)



Fucking brilliant!

Wikipedia says...

"My Generation" was one of the biggest early hits of the British rock group The Who, and quickly became their anthem. Written by Pete Townshend in 1965 for rebellious British youths called Mods, it expressed their feeling that older people "just don't get it". He reportedly wrote the song on a train and is said to have been inspired by the Queen Mother who is alleged to have had Townshend's 1935 Packard hearse towed off a street in Belgravia because she was offended by the sight of it during her daily drive through the neighbourhood [1]. Townshend has also credited Mose Allison's Young Man Blues as the inspiration for the song, saying "Without Mose I wouldn't have written My Generation." [2]

It has entered the rock and roll pantheon as one of the most celebrated, cited, and referenced songs in the idiom; it was named the eleventh greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Perhaps the most striking element of the song is the lyrics, considered one of the most distilled statements of youthful rebellion in rock history. The "attitude" of the track alone helped make it an acknowledged forebear of the punk rock movement,also considered to be the first punk rock song. One of the most quoted--and patently rewritten--lines in rock history is I hope I die before I get old, famously sneered out by lead singer Roger Daltrey.

Like many of The Who's earlier "mod" output, the song boasts clear influences of American R&B, most explicitly in the call and response form of the verses; Daltrey would sing a line, and the backing vocalists Townshend and John Entwistle would respond with the refrain "Talkin' 'bout my generation":

People try to put us down

(Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Just because we get around

(Talkin' 'bout my generation)

The vocal melody of "My Generation":

is an example of the shout-and-fall modal frame. (Middleton 1990, p.207)

Another salient aspect of "My Generation" is Daltrey's delivery: an angry and frustrated stutter. Various stories exist as to the reason for this distinct delivery. One is that the song began as a slow "talking" blues number without the stutter, but after being inspired by John Lee Hooker's "Stuttering Blues", Townshend reworked the song into its present form. Another reason is that it was suggested to Daltrey that he stutter to sound like a British mod on speed. It is also proposed, albeit less frequently, that the stutter was introduced to give the group a framework for implying the expletive "fuck" in the lyrics: "Why don't you all fu.. fu.. fade away!" However, Producer Shel Talmy insisted it was simply one of those "happy accidents" that he thought they should keep. The BBC initially refused to play "My Generation" because they did not want to offend people who stutter, but they reversed their decision after it became a huge hit.

The instrumentation of the song duly reflects the lyrics: fast, aggressive, and laced with attitude. Significantly, "My Generation" also featured one of the first bass solos (by John Entwistle) in rock history. The song's coda features an explosive burst of drumming from Keith Moon, whereupon the song breaks down somewhat awkwardly in spurts of guitar feedback from Pete Townshend, rather than fading out or ending cleanly on the tonic.

The song was released as a Single in November 1965, reaching number two in the UK and number 74 in America. [3] "My Generation" also appeared on The Who's 1965 debut album, My Generation (known as The Who Sings My Generation in the USA), and in greatly extended form on their live album Live At Leeds (1970)."

Scatman John, Scatman (1995)

Wikipedia says...


"John Paul Larkin (13 de marzo de 1942 en El Monte, California - 3 de diciembre de 1999 en Los Ángeles), mejor conocido como Scatman John, fue un famoso scat singer que inventó una fusión única entre el scat singing y la música disco. Su canción Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) (1995) fue un éxito a nivel mundial. Como a él le gustaba decir, su carrera hacia el éxito fue un proceso de "convertir mi mayor problema en mi mayor cualidad", pues Scatman John era tartamudo. "

Recibió 14 discos de oro y 18 de platino por sus álbumes y singles. Asimismo, recibió el premio Annie Glenn por su servicio a la comunidad de tartamudos y fue incluído en el hall de la fama de la National Stuttering Association.

Scatman John murió de cáncer de pulmón en su casa de Los Ángeles, California, a los 57 años de edad. "

Descubrí este grupo gracias a mi amigo Simon en Inglaterra, el es de Liverpool y no podia creer que no los hubiera oido nunca. Estar en Inglaterra "donde todo surge antes" me enriqueció con grupos como este, tambien the kooks, artic monkeys, etc... Pronto os ire presentando cositas.

the Cramberries Zombie(1994)

Wikipedia says...

"Zombie" is a protest song by the Irish band The Cranberries from the 1994 album No Need to Argue. It is about the conflicts in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles, with references to the Easter Revolution of 1916.

...In the video, Dolores O'Riordan is covered in gold paint surrounded by children. She is reminiscent of the classic image of Saint Sebastian. The video also contains shots of British soldiers on patrol in Northern Ireland."

Roda~KLoWN says:

Algo como... "Zombie es una cancion protesta del grupo irlandés The Cranberries dentro del album "No Need to Argue". Va sobre los conflictos en Irlanda del Norte haciendo referencia a la Easter Revolution de 1916. Vuelve a aparecer la imagen de San Sebastian encarnada por la figura de Dolores O'Riordan pintada de dorado."

Roda~KLoWN coments:

Una cancion que sueña entrañable. Una joya de mi corona. A pié de lo de San Sebastian podemos decir que estamos ante otro caso Donosti. He de averiguar el porqué de la referencia reiterada al Santo. Algo ha de haber, investigaré...

Por cierto, un piropo para O'Riordan. Es la mas guapa... del grupo.

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion 1991

Wikipedia says:

"The video, directed by Tarsem Singh, was declared Best Video of the Year at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. The video also won for Best Group Video of the Year, Best Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction in a Video, Best Director of a Video and Best Editing of a Video.

The video is heavy with religious imagery, and notably features images of Saint Sebastian. Contrary to popular belief, the promotional music video was not banned in Ireland due to its use of religious imagery because the Republic does not ban music videos."

Roda~KLoWN says:
Algo como..." Fue galardonado con el premio a mejor video del año 1991 por la MTV. El video contiene mucha imagineria religiosa, sobre todo en referencia a San Sebastian. En contra de lo que pensaba la gente el video no fue censurado en Irlanda por usar el contenido religioso ya que Irlanda no censura videos musicales."

Roda~KLoWN says: Personalmente una de las mejores canciones jamás compuestas. Esta incluida en el "Out of time" junto "shiny happy people", mis dos canciones preferidas del album.

the doors "Break on through" 1967

Wikipedia says:

"The original line in the chorus was "She gets high." Elektra Records censored "high," making it sound like, "she gets uugh," but the "high" line can be heard in live versions."

Roda~KLoWN says

Algo como... "En la version original en el coro decía "she gets high" pero Elektra records dijeron que nanaina, que eso era in..moralmente inoportuno o algo asi. Lo cambiaron en el disco por "she gets uugh" que es casi mas explicito viendo cantar a morrison y despues hicieron los que les salio de los... intrumentos, ya que en cualquier directo puedes oir la frase original."

Una cancion viva, que no se por que me da ganas de conducir con alguien durmiendo al lado.
