  Download now or listen on posterous Keep Yourself Warm - Frightened Rabbit (2008).mp3 (7724 KB) Fue una verdadera sorpresa poder descubrir el ambiente musical que se respira en las calles de Glasgow. Es increíble la de locales y salas que hay desperdigadas por toda la ciudad, la de grupos y solistas que tocan en los pubs y bares. Fue una pena no poder entrar a algunas salas de la Sauchiehall Street o St. Vincent Street (en la mayoría está completamente prohibido entrar con niños) y disfrutar de la excelente musica escocesa alrededor de unas buenas Real Ales. De vuelta en casa, me puse a investigar sobre nuevos grupos que andan saliendo por las tierras de Bruce Wallace. Uno de ellos es Frightened Rabbit, grupo de los Borders escoceses pero que llevan ya unos años residiendo en Glasgow. En menos de diez años han publicado cuatro discos (tres de estudio y uno en directo) y ya se han hecho con un nombre en la escena musical escocesa, no en vano han teloneado a grupos como The Lemonheads o Belle & Sebastian (dentro de un mes). KEEP YOURSELF WARM - LYRICS My hole, I'll get my hole I'll get my hole Get my hole, get my hole And I will find out more It's a choo-choo train A rocket launch If we have a hormone race I'm bound to finish first   Can you see in the dark? Can you see the look on your face? The flashing white light's been turned off You don't know know who's in your bed It takes more than fucking someone you don't know To keep warm Do you really think that for a house beat You'll find your love in a hole   No you won't find love in a, Won't find love in a hole It takes more than fucking someone To keep yourself warm   I'm drunk, I'm drunk And you're probably on pills If we both got the same diseases It's irrelevant girl In the room is the steam It evaporates, disappears My point of entry is the same way   That I'll leave Can you see in the dark? Can you see the look on your face? The flashing white light's been turned off You don't know know who's in your bed It takes more than fucking someone you don't know To keep warm Do you really think that for a house beat You'll find your love in a hole   but you won't find love in a, Won't find love in a hole It takes more than fucking someone To keep yourself warm   You won't find love in a, Won't find love in a hole It takes more than fucking someone To keep yourself...   See in the dark Can you see the look on your face? The flashing white light's been turned off You don't know know who's in your bed It takes more than fucking someone you don't know to keep warm Do you really think that for a house beat You'll find your love in a hole     Permalink | Leave a comment  »

Restless Secret by Erga Omnes  Download now or listen on posterous Restless Secret - Erga Omnes (1999).mp3 (5632 KB) Ordizian goi mailako futbolari asko izan ez baditugu ere (esparru horretan Beasaindarrak dira nagusi Goierri mailan) musika arloan talde itxurosoak izan ditugu. Denen artean ezagunenak, agian, Elurretan taldea izan da. Duela urtebete, euren abesti guztiak sarean deskargatzeko moduan jarriko zituztela jakin genuen. Antzeko adinekoak dira Erga Omnes taldeko lagunak. Lehenengoek Rockdelux aldizkari ospetsuak antolatzen zuen maketa lehiaketaren finalistak izan baziren, Erga Omnes Donostia Hiria VIII Pop-Rock Lehiaketako irabazleak izan ziren 1999. urtean. Sari honi esker lau abestiz osatutako Cda ekoizteko aukera izan zuten. Diska hau Angel Katarainek Azkaraten duen estudioetan grabatu zen eta maketa moduko produkzio bat izateko, kalitate handikoa dela esango nuke nik. Erga Omnes taldea Joseba Basarte, Iñaki Munduate eta Xabi Lopezek osatzen zuten. Urte gutxi batzuk aritu ziren taldean, tamalez. CD ha kaleratu eta handik gutxira taldea desegin zen. Ez zen bada, kalitate falta zuen taldea! LYRICS:Restless secret I have gotNever seen never thoughtI'm not hungry, can't sleepMidnight tic-tac the clockShadows everywhere I seeNightmares the worst presageReady who makes that noise might be someone back the doorShips jumping over my bedFeels like thunder in my headSome are black, some are whiteTheir the eyes of my lifeSomething sucks me into a holeI can't bear it anymore Finally I open my eyesSometimes it's nice to wake up Permalink | Leave a comment  »

Everybody Needs A Holiday by Big Audio Dynamite  Download now or listen on posterous Everybody Needs A Holyday - Big Audio Dynamite (1989).mp3 (5230 KB) Onartu beharrean nago Mick Jones tipo atsegina dudala. The Clash taldeko gitarra-jole ohia tipo karismatikoa da; ez dakit, niri behintzat "ukitu" berezia duela iruditzen zait. The Clash taldeko tipo interesgarriena iruditu zait beti eta talde honek kaleratutako abesti hoberenak bereak izan direla iruditzen zait. The Clash desegin ondoren, Big Audio Dynamite talde berria sortu zuen. Taldeak ospe handia lortu ez bazuen ere, bere lehen diskoek (lehenengo biek batez ere) kritika oso onak jaso zituzten. "Everybody Needs A Holiday" abestia euren laugarren diskoan aurkitu daiteke; euren abesti hoberena ez bada ere, ez didazue ukatuko oso letra aproposa daukala garai honetarako, ezta? ;) "Earned a rest, I know you worked all day, I knowAnd everybody needs a holiday" Tira, ez da zabaltzen dudan Mick Jones-en lehenengo abestia eta ez da izango azkena. Gehiago etorriko dira, ziur!LYRICS: Close your eyes And hit the sack While your asleep I`ll watch your back Grab a chair Have a seat I`ve got the wheel Rest your feet I`ll stand guard And keep the wolves at bay Watch the fire While you dream away Earned a rest I know you worked all day I know And everybody needs a holiday Take a break Shake that frown Re-assess What`s going down Spare a thought While you sit Reconsider And admit I`ll stand guard And keep the wolves at bay Watch the fire While you dream away Earned a rest I know you worked all day I know And everybody needs a holiday Earned a rest I know you worked all day I know And everybody needs a holiday I`ll stand guard And keep the wolves at bay Watch the fire While you dream away Earned a rest I know you worked all day I know And everybody needs a holiday I`ll stand guard And keep the wolves at bay Watch the fire While you dream away Earned a rest I know you worked all day I know And everybody needs a holiday Permalink | Leave a comment  »

  Download now or listen on posterous Stop Your Sobbing - The Pretenders (1980).mp3 (2390 KB) Atzo gauean umeak aiton-amonen etxean utzi eta Donostiako Kursaalera joan ginen The Pretenders ikustera emaztea eta biok, lagunak ditugun beste bikote batekin. Nire lagunak, hamalau urte zituela, Madrilgo Calderonen izan zen kontzertu mitikoan (U2 eta big Audio Dynamite taldeekin batera) ikusi zituen lehenengoz. Tamalez, 80. hamarkada hartan zuzenean ikusteko aukerarik ez nuen izan eta, nahiz eta harrez gero urte asko pasa, gogoa nuen Chrissie Hynde zuzenean ikusteko. Sentsazio gazi-gozoarekin atera ginen kontzertutik. Alde batetik gustura egon ginen gure gazte garaiko abestiak zuzenean entzuten. Soinuaren kalitatea nahiko ona izan zen. Chrissie eta bere lagunak (taldeko gitarjole gazte berria bikain jo zuen) gainera txisparekin aritu ziren eszenatokian. Baina ez nintzen gustura geratu kontzertua eskaintzeko aukeratu zuten lekuarekin. The Pretenders-en musikak gorputza mugitzera behartzen zaitu; bere betiko "hit" bat entzun eta gorputza geldik mantentzea ezinezkoa da. Eta egoera horretan aulkian eserita egon behar izateak inpotentzia handia ematen du. Batzuk zutik ipini eta dantzan hasten ziren; beste batzuk alboko pasabideetara jaisten ziren dantza egitera. Baina hori ez da kontua; The Pretenders-ek beste leku bat behar du bere abestiek transmititzen duten zirrararen ondorioz, gorputzak eskatzen duen martxa modu librean espresatu ahal izateko. Pena bat izan zen :( LYRICS:It is time for you to stop all of your sobbingYes its time for you to stop all of your sobbing oh oh ohTheres one thing you gotta doTo make me still want youGotta stop sobbing now Yeah yeah stop it stop itIt is time for you to laugh instead of cryingYes its time for you to laugh so keep on trying oh oh ohTheres one thing you gotta doTo make me still want youGotta stop sobbing now Yeah yeah stop it stop itEach little tear that falls from your eyesMakes, makes me wantTo take you in my arms and tell youTo stop all your sobbingTheres one thing you gotta doTo make me still want you And theres one thing you gotta knowTo make me want you soGotta stop sobbing nowYeah yeah stop it stop it Permalink | Leave a comment  »

Bathysphere by Smog  Download now or listen on posterous Bathysphere - Smog (1995).mp3 (4542 KB) Duela hiru hilabete kaleratu zuen Bill Callahan-ek bere azken diska, "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" izenburupean. Bere izenarekin aurkezten duen bigarren diska bada ere, konpositore beteranoa da, izan ere, 1990. urtean argitaratu zuen bere lehen diska Smog izenarekin. Ordutik hona diska sorta ederra eskaini digu Billek, guztiek jaso dituzte kritika bikainak kritikarengandik. Abesti hau bere laugarren diskoaren lehena da eta bikaina iruditzen zait. Bere ahots ozenarekin kontatzen duen istorio txikia oso polita iruditzen zait, era berean, interpretazio desberdin ugari izan ditzakeena. Doinua bikaina da, gitarra zorrotza, atzetik entzuten diren ahotsek tonu iluna ematen diotelarik, oso aproposa hitzek transmititu nahi dutena girotzeko. LYRICS:When I was sevenI asked my motherTo trip me to the bayAnd put me on a shipAnd lower me downLower me out of hereBecause when I was sevenI wanted to live in a bathysphere Between coralsilent eelsilver swordfishI can't really feel or dream down hereAnd if the water should cut my line (*2)Set me freeAnd if the water should cut my lineSet me free, I don't mind I'll be the lost sailor, my home is the seaWhen I was sevenMy father said to me'But you can't swim'And I've never dreamed of the sea again Permalink | Leave a comment  »

  Download now or listen on posterous The Holiday Song - Pixies (1987).mp3 (1956 KB) Talde honen abesti asko daude txoko honetan ipintzeko modukoak baina gaurko egunerako, zalantza izpirik gabe, hauxe da egokiena LYRICS: Well, sit right down my wicked son,And let me tell you a storyAbout the boy who fell from glory,And how he was a wicked son.This ain't no holiday, but it always turns out this way.Here I am with my hand...He took his sister from his head,And impregnated her on the sheets.And they rolled her up in grass and trees,And they kissed until they were dead.This ain't no holiday, but it always turns out this way.Here I am with my hand...Well, sit right down my evil son,And let me tell you a storyAbout the boy who fell from glory,And how he was a wicked son.This ain't no holiday right now, but it always turns out this way.Here I am with my hand...This ain't no holiday, but it always turns out this way.Here I am with my hand...

  Download now or listen on posterous Good Morning Britain - Aztec Camera (1990).mp3 (3544 KB) Aztec Camera Roddy Frame abeslari eta autore eskoziarraren proiektu pertsonala izan zen. Joan-etorri ugari egon ziren taldekideen artean baita gorabehera handiak ekoiztutako diskoen kalitatean ere. "Stray" 90. hamarkadari hasiera emango zion diskoa izan zen. Bertan Paul Carrack, Edwyn Collins eta Mick Jones-en kolaborazioa izan zuen Frame-ek. Azken honekin batera grabatu zuen abesti hau, diskoan dagoen abesti hoberenetakoa. Orduko gizarte britainiarrari egindako kritika jasotzen da bertan. LYRICS:Jock's got a vote in ParochiaTen long years and he's still got herPaying tax and and doing stirWorry about it later.And the wind blows hot and the wind blows coldBut it blows us good so we've been told Music's food 'til the art-biz foldsLet them all eat culture.Chorus:The past is steeped in shame,But tomorrow's fair game,For a life that's fit for livingGood morning Britain. Twenty years and a loaded gunFunerals, fear and the war ain't wonPaddy's still a figure of funIt lightens up the danger.And a corporal sneers at a catholic boyAnd he eyes his gun like a rich man's toy He's killing more than celtic joyDeath is not a stranger.Taffy's time's gonna come one dayIt's a loud sweet voice and it won't give wayA house is not a holidayYour sons are leaving home Neil. In the hills and the valleys and far awayYou can hear the song of democracyThe echo of eternityWith a Rak-a-Rak-a feel.ChorusFrom the Tyne to where to the Thames does flowMy English brothers and sisters know It's not a case of where you goIt's race and creed and colour.From the police cell to the deep dark graveOn the underground's just a stop awayDon't be too black, don't be too gayJust get a little duller. But in this green and pleasant land,Where I make my home, I make my standMake it cool just to be a man,A uniform's a traitor.Love is internationalAnd if you stand or if you fall,Just let them know you gave your all, Worry about it later.Chorus Permalink | Leave a comment  »

  Download now or listen on posterous Idiot Country - Electronic (1991).mp3 (4455 KB) Republic diska argitaratu orduko, New Order taldeko kideak saltsa pertsonaletan sartuta zebiltzaten. Bernard Summer eta Johnny Marr (The Smiths taldeko gitarra-jole ezaguna) proiektu berri batean elkartu ziren. Talde berriari Electronic izena eman zioten eta "idiot Country" euren lehen diskoaren lehen abestia zen. New Order-ek hartuko zuen ibilbide berriaren isla da disko hau, Marr-ek bere gitarra toke berezia ematen dielarik bertako abestiei (nabarmena bere lana abesti honetan). Marr-en ukitu hori nabarmena da bereziki lehenengo lan honetan. Aipagarria ere Neil Tennant -en kolaborazioa diska honetako "Getting away with it" abestian. LYRICS:My name is not important, it's a signal, a signIt means I'm doing what I do because I do it all the timeI get a lot of fun emotion, I get none if I use yaI would crawl across the ocean so I could not abuse ya My life's deteriorating at a quarter to eightBecause I wrote myself a letter and I mailed it too lateI got a knock on the door, I got a nail on the floorI got a nail in my head, but it don't hurt me no more It's an open act of defiance, and it's aimed directly at youWe could form some kind of alliance, we could do what we wanted to doAnd the young would live foreverAnd the sun would shine through the blue If we got our hands on this nation, we could do what we wanted to doWith all the time I'm sweatin' I've got you on my mindYou're gonna lead me into trouble, you will leave me behindWell I am not coming to ya, I'll only confuse ya There's a label on you, I'm gonna rip it in two Permalink | Leave a comment  »
