IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME

IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME SINCE HE'S GONE... No more sorrow. No more sadness. Winter... -30C... Freezing balls... Forzen heart. I am back... to nowhere... How is that over there bro? Music by the decemberits, "Los Angeles, I am yours".

I'll Catch ya later Tito.

These are the kind of news that can spoil a good day, yet my days are not particularly exciting lately ( days full of pain and rain ). Puerto Rican singer Tito Gomez died today in Cali Colombia. Here there is a little homage to Mr Gomez. The song is Guarare, played by Ray Barreto's orchestra and featuring young Ruben Blades and Tito Gomez . Whatever Mr Gomez recorded with Grupo Niche is just irrelevant .

I want to love you tender

Just to carry on with the saga of super trash musical video productions I want to share this Jewel dismally performed by Finish artists Army and Danny once upon the 80's (of course). Siguiendo con la saga de super trash video-producciones quiero compartir esta joya pobremente desempenada por los artistas Finlandeses Army & Danny , por alla en los 80's por supuesto.

It's only a line but I like it, I like it.

Después de un accidente en las islas Fiyi el año pasado, el guitarrista de los Rolling Stones Keith Richards , de 63 años, escribe otra página en su particular leyenda al asegurar que inhaló durante una juerga las cenizas de su padre, fallecido en el 2002. ( leer ). La entrevista fue realizada por la revista Britanica NME (rock) aqui se puede leer la entrevista original. Que divertido que es Keith Richards. In an awesome interview given to British rock magazine NME, Rolling Stones lead guitar's Keith Richards admits having snorted the ashes of his own father. I could not help but laugh after reading that part of the interview. Well actually the whole article is very interesting for whose who love the BEST ROCK BAND EVER. ( read )

Let's climb through the tide

This beauty is 'moonlight drive' one of my favorite songs by the L.A chaps!... The Doors . It is highly recommended not to be 'to down on earth' while listening to this. Robby Kriegger is a superb musician, so talentive and resourceful while setting music together.

rubber johnny

In 2005, music video producer Chris Cunnigham and Musician Aphex Twin worked on a 6 minute experimental short film named Rubber Johhny. The concept for Rubber Johnny came from Cunningham imagining a raver morphing as he danced. The idea evolved to the present film, in which Johnny (played by Cunningham) is an isolated deformed (possibly hydrocephalus) teenager kept on a wheelchair and locked in a dark basement with his deformed chihuahua. Given his situation, he spends his life imagining all kinds of musical psychedelia to entertain. Watch it out .

LOSING YOU

Jan Terri 's best-known music video is for " Losing You ". Although a somewhat honest effort is given to the production, the result resembles something one might find on late-night public access television, which provides for unintentional humor for many viewers.( more ) Jan Terry es una cantante de blues Estadounidense.

joanna newsom

Oh Dear... this is one of those things that make us keep the faith in beauty. Joanna Newsom is an American harpist, pianist, harpsichordist, singer and songwriter from Nevada City, California. Besides her solo material she has played on records by Smog, Vetiver, Nervous Cop, Scott Indrisek, Vashti Bunyan and Golden Shoulders and played keyboards for The Pleased . In the radioblog I have loaded some music by Joanna Newsom and also a couple of songs by Smog... Those tracks are the dog's bollocks . Here there is the video of the song 'SwanSea'. full version here Swansea -lyrics- If you want to come on down, down with your bones so white, And watch the freight trains pound into the wild, wild night How I would love to gnaw, gnaw on your bones so white, and watch as the freight trains paw, paw at the wild, wild night. All these ghost towns, wreathed in old loam (Assateague knee-deep in seafoam)- Ho Swansea! Buttonwillow! Lagunitas! Ho Calico! And all these beastly bungalows ...
