Durante la festa di compleanno del Bava, Scalci decide di cantare Margherita… e… è così che nasce questo video

Buon divertimento

Questo brano è semplicemente geniale. Buon ascolto

PS: lo trovate all’interno della raccolta Kompakt -- Total 10

Some velvet morning
When I’m straight
I’m gonna open up your gate
Some velvet morning
When I’m straight
I’m gonna open up your gate

Flowers growing on a hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name

Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Look at us but do not touch
Look at us but do not touch

Ogni mattina mi sveglio con della buona musica, e questa canzone è diventata la mia sveglia da ormai molti mesi, che ne dite di provarla?

I’ve been biding my time,
Been so subtly kind,
I got to think so selfishly,
‘cos you’re the face inside of me.

I’ve been biding my days,
U see evidently it pays,
I’ve been a friend,
With unbiased views,
Then secretly lust after you.

So now you feel rusty
You’re bored and bemused.

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly.

Trying hard to think pure,
Bloody hard when i’m raw,
You’re talking out so sexually,
About boys ‘n girls and your friggin’ dreams.

So now you feel lusty,
You’re hot and confused.

You wanna do someone else,
So you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly.

So now you’ve been busted,
You’re caught feeling used.

You had to do someone else,
You should’ve been by yourself.

You had to do someone else,
You should’ve been by yourself,
Instead of here with me.

Secretly,

Secretly.

Sono già passati 10 anni dall’estate del ‘99… e dall’uscita dell’album Post Orgasmic Chill… di cui questa Secretly fa parte… anzi diciamo che questo brano è la punta di diamante di un album splendido.

Rileggendo il testo mi vengono in mente due pensieri:

1. essere sè stessi paga sempre
2. le verità, prima o poi, vengono sempre a galla

Dite che anche Skin pensasse alle stesse cose?

Uno dei miei dj preferiti… nonché personaggio di spicco del mondo della musica techno… in una performance d’eccezione… in una location enorme… con tanta gente che vuole festeggiare l’arrivo del nuovo anno…

Vi ho convinti a guardare questo video?

In questi giorni sono stato letteralmente rapito dall’ultimo lavoro di Trentemøller: Harbour Boat Trips 01: Copenhagen.

Potrei tentare di raccontare quant’è sopraffina la musica contenuta in questa compilation, ma sarebbe semplicemente inutile… certe cose vanno provate, a parole non rendono l’idea. Perciò, visto che non vi descrivo la bontà dell’album, preferisco elencare gli ingredienti che lo compongono
Sonorità elettroniche e minimali miscelate con un pizzico di rock danno vita a 78 minuti di pura goduria.

Questa la tracklist:

1. Grouper - Heavy Water/I’d Rather Be Sleeping
2. Gravenhurst – I Turn My Face To The Forest Floor
3. Emiliana Torrini – Lifesaver
4. I Got You On Tape – Somersault
5. Beach House – Gila
6. The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Anenome
7. The Raveonettes – Aly, Walk With Me (Nic Endo Remix)
8. The Hypothetical Prophets (Proroky) – Back To The Burner
9. Suicide - Cheree
10. Muscleheads – Phosphorescence
11. David Garcet – Confidence (Ghetto Remix)
12. Rennie Foster – Devil’s Water
13. Caribou – Melody Day (Four Tet Remix Feat. Luke Lalonde Adem And One Little Plane)
14. The Raveonettes – She’s Lost Control (Trentemøller Edit)
15. A Place To Bury Strangers – I Know I’ll See You
16. Suicide – Ghost Rider
17. Khan – Fantômes
18. Trentemøller – Vamp (Live Edit)
19. Two Lone Swordsmen – Kamanda’s Response
20. Copenhagen Collective – The Copenhagen Experience #1 (Trentemøller Edit)
21. Soft Cell – Tainted Love

Ci tengo a precisare che questo non è un album per tutti, ma probabilmente è meglio così: un prodotto di nicchia per appassionati dal palato sofisticato.

Ed ora, concludo quest’articolo lasciandovi col messaggio con cui Trentemøller presenta il suo lavoro

Dear Listener,

within this compilation I have basically chosen some of the many songs I use in my own most intimate hours, coming down after gigs, cleaning my apartment, waiting for friends to arrive or simply daydreaming with my twenty-first century walkman through the city of Copenhagen.

In gracious respect I’ve tried to mix them together especially for you!
All the artists on this compliation which include names from nearly four decades have, to me, created drifferent aspects of beauty.

I THANK! them greatly for their contribution and you for listening.
What else can I say? It’s my first compliation and compilling it was such a pleasure.

Take care!
Anders Trentemøller

Non lasciatevi ingannare dall’inizio: passate subito al minuto 1:50 e godetevi uno dei più bei pezzi elettronici del 2008.

Il brano qui pubblicato è l’Original Mix, e fa parte dell’ep Soul Music For The Damned di Rennie Foster.

Visto che oggi vi ho proposto Miss You, come non suggerirvi anche l’ascolto dell’album di Trentemøller registrato al Roskilde Festval?

Tracklist:

1. Take Me Into Your Skin (Live)
2. Snowflake (Live)
3. Into The Trees (Live)
4. Miss You (Live)

I brani sono tutti molto belli e coinvolgenti, mentre il sottofondo con le voci e le urla del pubblico è la cosiddetta ciliegina sulla torta.

Non perdetevelo

Quando la musica regala certe emozioni è superfluo cercare di descriverla. Questo brano ne è un esempio.

Grazie Trentemøller

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.
Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert 
happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. 
You can all dial in if you want to answer 
a couple of questions, namely, 
what is Todd’s favourite cheese. 
Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. 
We’ll see about that…
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It’s a beautiful day.
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, 
want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think? 
Todd, you there?
I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes,
When Mike came over with a script surprise.
A Mafioso story with a twist,
A “Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar” hitch,
Get your ass out of bed, he said:
I’ll explain it on the way.
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us,
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin,
Just me and a friend.
Feeling kinda groovy,
Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)
But we did nothing, absolutely but kiss that day, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my… Beer, beer!
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic’s.
Some men there wanted to hurt us,
And other men said we weren’t worth the fuss.
We could see them all bitching by the bar,
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor.
Then Mike turned to me and said:
“What do you think we got done son?”
We’ve got a conclusion, and I guess that’s something, so I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we’ll fix it all up.
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! …
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.

Se volete staccare… questa è la canzone giusta
