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

I can’t explain… (3:21, Scorpions, Best Of Rockers ‘N’ Ballads, 1989)

Prošli tjedan sam uletio u jednu diskusiju s jednim od svojih odvjetnika (da, znam žestoko zvuči kada spominješ odvjetnike u pluralu) o muzici koju sluša, odnosno o tome kako je dida koji je na dočeku nove godine svirao neke meni nepoznate pjesmice (uglavnom domaće koje su meni uglavnom strane). I tako smo mi diskutirali i kako sam imao svoj notebook sa sobom i mojih 20+Gb iTunes muzike je bilo na raspolaganju pustio sam mu nekoliko odabranih pjesmica i potom je čovjek zaželio da mu snimim cijeli CD.

I ovo je postao zanimljivi zadatak jer sam htio složiti CD koji će biti reprezentativni presjek muzike koju slušam, ujedno treba biti i slušljiv netreniranom uhu (ne želimo nikoga preplašiti Tom Waitsom, zar ne?), a dodani bonus bi bio da čovjek actually bude zadovoljan i poželi slušati taj CD još koji puta ili da zaželi još koji CD. Isporuku CDa sam obavio danas i kroz desetak dana ću dobiti povratnu informaciju.

Ovo je play lista koju sam složio;

  • God Is in the House, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Into My Arms, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Rock Of Gibraltar, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • The Mercy Seat, Johnny Cash
  • Why Me Lord?, Johnny Cash
  • Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
  • Hurt, Johnny Cash
  • One, Johnny Cash
  • Orinoco Flow, Enya
  • Anywhere Is, Enya
  • Clocks, Coldplay
  • Porcelain, Moby
  • Hanging Upside Down, Balanescu Quartet
  • Don’t Fence Me In, David Byrne
  • Learning To Fly, Pink Floyd
  • Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel
  • Road Tripping, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Što mislite, da li je ovo jedna slušljiva playlista?

Misao dana:

why me lord? (2:20, Johnny Cash, American Recordings, 1994)

Neki dan sam igrom slučaja završio u CD shopu u kojem sam nakon dugo, dugo vremena kupio četiri CDa. Nabavkom su bili obuhvaćena dva albuma od Talking Headsa (Naked i The name of this band is Talking Heads), soundtrack od Usual Suspects te moj treći domaći album u zadnje dvije godine od Svadbas-a. Sada imam kompletne Talking Headse uključivo i sve derivate koji su proizašli iz THa (TomTomClub i David Byrne).

Rijetko kupujem domaću muziku jer vrlo rijetko pronađem nešto što mi se dopada, a svadbasi su to zaslužili sjajnom instrumentacijom i krasnim glasom (iako mi malo vuku na Rundeka ali što sad); posljednja dva albuma koje sam kupio su bili Ramirez i Yammat.

Kako sam si nabavio i eskterni disk i napokon prebacio svoju iTunes arhivu koju sada mogu dopuniti ne strahujući od punog diska malo sam updateao ipod i ubacivao CDove koje nisam prebacio na disk u posljednje vrijeme, pa sam pogledao i statistiku stvari koje slušam. Ovo je moj top50:

  • One, Johnny Cash
  • Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Personal Jesus, Johnny Cash
  • The Mercy Seat, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Oh My Lord, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Solitary Man, Johnny Cash
  • Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone), Johnny Cash
  • The Man Comes Around, Johnny Cash
  • I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, Johnny Cash
  • Why Me Lord?, Johnny Cash
  • sunday bloody sunday, rx
  • Hurt, Johnny Cash
  • A Soft Seduction, David Byrne
  • The Mercy Seat, Johnny Cash
  • As I Sat Sadly by Her Side, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Burnt by the Sun, David Byrne
  • Something’s Gotten Hold of My Heart, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Red Right Hand, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Fuzzy Freaky, David Byrne
  • Hung My Head, Johnny Cash
  • Death Is Not the End, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Like Humans Do, David Byrne
  • Bird on a Wire, Johnny Cash
  • There She Goes, My Beautiful World, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Nature Boy, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Lime Tree Arbour, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • The Good Son, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Breathless, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Bridge Over Troubled Water, Johnny Cash
  • Straight To You, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Nobody’s Baby Now, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • The Curse of Millhaven, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Foi Na Cruz, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • The Witness Song, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Miss America, David Byrne
  • The Weeping Song, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • The Ship Song, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Papa Won’t Leave You, Henry, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • And No More Shall We Part, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Bring It On, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Henry Lee, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Candy, Iggy Pop
  • Long Black Veil, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • Do You Love Me?, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
  • I Let Love In, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Into My Arms, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • There Is A Kingdom, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
  • Listening Wind, Talking Heads
  • Clocks, Coldplay
  • Girls on My Mind, David Byrne

Lista nije baš apsolutno točna jer u autu i dalje slušam CDove (naime moj tvornički ugrađeni clarion nema line in, a griffion FM transmiter loše radi kroz metalizirano staklo a još se lošije ponaša kada se vozite na daleko i malo malo morate mijenjati frekvenciju) tako da taj play count nije u statistici (a tamo ima najviše Cave-a). Gledajući popis ispada da mi je ukus vrlo jednostran i suh; no to definitivno nije točno – jedino imam tu (za ljude koji slušaju muziku skupa sa mnom) nezgodnu sposobnost da mogu jedan te isti CD slušati tisuću puta za redom bez očiglednog mentalnog oštećenja.

Posebno sam označio Sunday Bloody Sunday od rx-a jer je to vrlo specifična stvar. Naime na netu postoji free speech project na kojem je ekipa marljivo digitalizirala i semplirala 15.000 riječi koje je izgovorio američki predsjednik. Nakon toga te riječi se slažu u muzičke kolaže na poznatu ili manje poznatu muziku. Sve skupa je krenulo u 2004 kada je kreirana flash animacija “Fuzzy math” (3mb koje možete skinuti s gornjeg web sitea), a kasnije je kreirano nekolicina sjajnih remixeva od kojih su najpopularniji sunday bloody sunday, odnosno imagine… walk on the wild side (linkove na sve te MP3jeve možete ksinuti s gornjeg linka).
Još bih jedino spomenuo i http://www.thepartyparty.com/ gdje sve to isto imate u malo profesionalnijoj izvedbi. MP3jevi su također spremni za download.

Misao dana:
Masochists are people who have pain confused with pleasure. In a society which has television confused with entertainment, hamburgers confused with food, and George Bush confused with a national political leader, masochists are clearly less mixed up than the rest of us.
