The Sex Pistols - No One Is Innocent






God save The Sex Pistols they're a bunch of wholesome blokes
They just like wearing filthy clothes and swapping filthy jokes
God save television keep the programms pure
God save William Grundy from falling in manure

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk

God save Martin Boorman and nazis on the run
They wasn't being wicked God that was their idea of fun
God save Myra Hindley God save Ian Brady
Even though he's horrible and she ain't what you call a lady

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk

God save politicians God save our friends the pigs
God save Idi Amin and god save Ronald Biggs
God save all us sinners God save your blackest sheep
God save the good samaritan and god save the worthless creep

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Sold his soul Sold his soul Sold his soul to punk.

Dälek - Abandoned Language (2007)




Από τα καλύτερα Άλμπουμ της Underground Rap που άκουσα το τελευταίο καιρό και που απ' τη πρώτη στιγμή με κατέκτησε.
Η αλήθεια είναι ότι δεν είναι εύκολο πράγμα το review, αλλά επειδή μου άρεσε πολύ το άλμπουμ θα προσπαθήσω να κάνω ένα.
Το πιο ωραίο με τους MC Dälek (vocals) και Oktopus (production) από το New Jersey, είναι ότι δεν είναι και τόσο Rap όσο θα νόμιζε κανείς ακούγοντας τους στην αρχή.
Καλύτερα θα έλεγα ότι το βασικό στοιχείο τους, ο ρυθμός είναι Rap, αλλά η μουσική τους έχει κάτι από Shoegaze, Noise κλπ.
  • Abandoned Language: ένα χαλαρό 10-λεπτο κομμάτι όπου ο θόρυβος είναι σε χαμηλά επίπεδα: "Turn the page motherfucker ‘cause the story’s all scripted - six hundred years ain’t a fucking thing different"
  • Bricks Crumble: εδώ μπαίνει ο ρυθμός και αρχίζει η παράνοια
  • Paragraphs Relentless: μάλλον το καλύτερο track με το συνθεσάιζερ σε όλο του το μεγαλείο και με τον θόρυβο να περιφέρεται γλυκά και με ένα επίμονο ήχο sonar που δηλώνει κατάσταση έκτακτης ανάγκης.
  • Content To Play Villain: η Jazz πλευρά του άλμπουμ
  • Lynch: εδώ πιστεύω ότι τους έχει απασχολήσει για κάποιο διάστημα ο Iάννης Ξενάκης
  • Stagnant Waters: όπως το λέει και ο τίτλος εδώ βουλιάζεις και άλλο στη λάσπη και βρώμικα νερά ειδικά όταν συνειδητοποιείς τους στίχους "Men and women shed tears when our people get shot, multiplied fears turn person to flock" και "Epitaphs have no authors, patient paupers, my nation of authors turn lawless"
  • Starved For The Truth: εδώ μπλέκουν πολύ όμορφα τη Jazz Rock με το Hip Hop
  • Isolated State: χαλαρώνουν, κάτι που θυμίζει πιάνο από Pink Floyd και προς το τέλος ξανά Rapάρουν
  • Corrupt (knuckle up): το αρχικό μπούκωμα και το beat σήκωσαν τη στέγη του σπιτιού μου
  • Tarnished: δυνατό με φανταστικά έγχορδα στο τέλος
  • (Subversive Script): ένα από τα καλύτερα κομμάτια κατακλείδα σε άλμπουμ και σου υπενθυμίζει όλα τα προηγούμενα που άκουσες με το ίδιο χαοτικό τρόπο.
Τέλος η άλλη αλήθεια είναι ότι άργησα να το πάρω χαμπάρι το δίσκο, αλλά όπως λέει και η σοφή παροιμία "Κάλλιο αργά παρά ποτέ".
Ανεπιφύλακτα και σ' αυτούς που απεχθάνονται το Rap αλλά τσιμπάνε με τους My Bloody Valentine π.χ.

The Hold Steady - Chillout Tent



There was a stage and a PA up in western massachussetts,
and the kids came from miles around to get messed up on the music.
and she drove down from Boden with a carload of girlfriends,
to meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms
and they did and she got sick
and now she's pinned and way too shaky.
she don't wanna tell the doctor everything she's taken
the paramedics hovered over her like a somber mourning family
they gave her activating charcoal, they flooded her with saline

her:
"I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent,
they gave me oranges and cigarettes."

He was rough around the edges:
he'd been to school, but never finished,
he'd been to jail, but never prison.
it was his first day off in forever, man
the festival seemed like a pretty good plan,
cruise some chicks and get a sun-tan.
and his friend gave him four, but said only take one,
but then he got bored and ended up taking all four.
ah, so now my man ain't that bored anyways,
the paramedics found him: he was shaking on the side of the stage.

him:
"Everything was spinning and I came to in the chillout tent,
they gave me oranges and cigarettes."
her:
"I got really hot and then I came to in the chillout tent"
both:
"They gave us oranges and cigarettes."

She looked just like a baby bird, all new and wet and trying to light a Parliament
he quoted her some poetry, he's Tennyson in denim and sheepskin.
he looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin.
they started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs,
it was kinda sexy, but it was kinda creepy.
their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola,
they had the privacy of bedsheets
and all the other kids were mostly in comas.

her:
"He was kinda cute, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent,
and I never saw that boy again."
him:
"She was pretty cool, we kinda kicked in the chillout tent,
and I never saw that girl again."
her:
"He was kinda cute, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent,
and I never saw that boy again."
him:
"She seemed pretty cool, we kinda kicked it in the chillout tent,
and I never saw that girl again."
