this must be the place (Naive Melody)… (4:55, Talking Heads, The Best of Talking Heads, 1992)

Na nekom radiju (99.5MHz, jedina frekvencija koju znam napamet je ionako 101 :) ima emisija o Talking Headsima, jedan od meni najdražih bandova. Posjedujem cjelokupnu njihovu diskografiju uključivo i sve derivate (Tom Tom Club i David Byrne), a neke albume čak i u obradama ili limited edition izdanjima.

Jedna od njihovih najboljih stvari je svakako Nothing but flowers s albuma Naked;

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it’s nothing but flowersThere was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
you’ve got it, you’ve got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you’ve got it, you’ve got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I’d pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it’s only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it’s nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we’d start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it’s a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it’s all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it’s turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don’t leave me stranded here
I can’t get used to this lifestyle

singer of songs… (2:48, Johnny Cash, Unearthed III: Redemption Songs, 2003)

Danas popodne je palo jedno blogersko druženje “ozbiljnih” blogera (ili se mi samo tako tješimo – ako ste skloni teorijama zavjere možete si misliti o ćemu smo razgovarali), pa sam se ogrebao za malo tuđe pameti i dobio inspiraciju za post koji ću napisati sutra. No u međuvremenu imam sjajan link.

Previđam da će ovaj link biti all_the_rage s ekipom koja ostavlja “blogač ti je supač” komentare.

Dakle moderni klinci slušaju grupu Green Day, čak i ja znam za njih, a dotični su napisali stvar koja se zove “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” , za koju sam čak i ja čuo (onako, na radiju, ne bih znao po imenu niti grupu niti stvar, ali sam je definitivno čuo).

Obradu te stvari s izmijenjenim tekstom koji nosi naslov “I blog alone”, možete pronaći na ovoj adresi.

Dakle na gornjoj stranici možete pronaći izmijenjeni tekst, degutantnu fotografiju i mp3 obrade.

Misao večeri:
If you had a million Shakespeares, could they write like a monkey?

life: the movie… (7:18, The Walkabouts, Ended Up A Stranger, 2001)

Jučer je bio jedan od onih dana za koji bi bilo mudrije da sam ostao kod kuće, pokrio se preko glave, ugasio telefone i ne provjeravao emailove.

U znaku krajnje depresije krenuo sam da odem u kinpo pogledati Walk the line, inače biografski film o Johnny Cashu koji je pod stare dane svirao žešće nego ikada i čija me muzika fascinira (film iz nekog razloga igra samo od 22:30 što je malo prekasno za nas uredske trudbenike). Iskreno, Casha sam uopće uočio relativno nedavno i to nakon što je napravio obradu od U2 One što je izišlo na jednom od CDa American recordings. A totalno sam pao nakon što sam poslušao obradu Hurt koju u originali sviraju nine inch nails. Nine inch nails su pak poznati po tome što su svojevremeno izbacili iz banda člana koji je bio “prekonvencionalan” a danas se taj (izbačeni) lik prodaje po svijetu pod imenom Marilyn Manson. Anyway, tu je početna strofa iz Hurt-a (sada zamislite kako to pjeva vrlo sporo, za klavirom, vrlo stari čovjek izbrazdana lica koji je prošao sve poroke ovoga svijeta):

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that’s real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

On the bright side, pronašao sam sjajan web site funwithmovies. Na stranici imate po jedan frame iz 30 filmova i morate pogoditi ime filma o kojem je riječ. Ja sam postigao score od 18 čime spadam u sam vrh prosjeka, kako ste vi prošli?

Igrao sam se zadnja dva dana nešto s RSSom pa me zanima tko prati blogove putem RSSa? RSS sam prvi puta probao prije nekoliko godina i tada se nije imalo što za pratiti RSSom, no danas skoro svaki site ima rss feed, a svi blogovi na blog.hr domeni također imaju svoj feed. Za one koji ne znaju RSS je kratica od Realy simple syndication a to bi mogli prevesti kao “doista jednostavna distribucija”. U svom RSS readeru odaberete blogove koje želite pratiti i on vas automatski obavijesti kada je neki od blogova osvježen. Na taj način možete pratiti velikom brzinom ogromnu količinu sadržaja umjesto da klikčete po bookmarcima od jednog do drugog bloga ili web sitea.

Tko koristi rss?

Odbrojavanje: još 6 š-e-s-t postova do…

Misao dana:
I put a new engine in my car, but forgot to take the old one out. Now my car goes 500 miles per hour. The harmonica sounds *amazing*.
