  • #2 Songs in the Night

    8 Jan 2009, 01:43 by MagalieDubois

    What: it snows no more. A friend of mine ask me which group made a video with the red haired singer teaches a class of young ballet students how to loosen up for their recital.

    That's obvious:

    Kings of Convenience PlayI'd Rather Dance With You

    It reminds me who's Erlend Øye, one of my favourite singers.
    Check him out if you don't already know about him!


    Crash on the highway,
    stranded between.
    My friends had waited,
    but left without me.
    A glimpse on the platform,
    we met on the train.
    She came from further,
    heading my way.
    Three days in April,
    three years ago.
    One black eyed stranger
    I learned to know
    made all my plans stop
    shook me off track.
    Ten days of longing
    I followed her back.
    A plane made of paper
    struck by the light
    circled forever
    over the city at night.
    Like a movie,
    like a song,
    how it should be
    being young


    Erlend Øye PlayGhost Trains

  • 2008, révélations

    4 Jan 2009, 20:12 by Akasuna

    C'est la mode de faire des tops en tout genre quand une année se termine, alors en bon mouton, je vais faire pareil ! Je me restreindrai à cinq entrées et pas de blabla... parce que des albums qui datent vraiment de 2008 et que j'ai aimés, y en a pas des masses en fait, et parce que ça m'a toujours emmerdé d'écrire des articles. Je finis toujours par écrire n'importe quoi, ça finit souvent en non-sens total.

    #1 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

    Chanson préférée : PlayWhite Winter Hymnal

    #2 Lykke Li - Youth Novels

    Chanson préférée : Breaking It Up

    #3 Woodpigeon - Treasury Library Canada

    Chanson préférée : PlayAnna, Girl in the Clocktower

    #4 Los Campesinos! - Hold On Now, Youngster...

    Chanson préférée : PlayYou! Me! Dancing!

    #5 Why? - Alopecia

    Chanson préférée : PlayFatalist Palmistry


    Et aussi, en vrac, d'autres qui datent d'avant 2008 ou qui auraient pu prétendre à ce top 5...
    Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
    Noah and the Whale - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down
    MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
    Chris Garneau - Music For Tourists
    CSS - Donkey
    The Dodos - Visiter
    Bang Gang - Something Wrong
    Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street

    Sur ce, je retourne écumer les tops des autres parce que j'ai sûrement manqué plein de bonnes choses en 2008.

  • Los mejores pinchadiscos, tocacuerdas, aporreatambores,gritaincoherencias.... de mi…

    2 Jan 2009, 06:08 by Valaro

    Un año se acabó justo ayer. Lo ví irse a traves de una gran cruda y un plato de sopa de verduras. Pero eso no impide que mencione lo mejor que hubo este extinto 2008 en la música. Trataré de ser objetivo y me basaré en mi lista de mas escuchados en este mi querido perfil del lastfm.



    Los mejores artistas

    10.Daft Punk. No me bajaré de pendejo después de haberme perdido el concierto @ Palacio de los deportes.
    9.Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. De lo mejor que hay en el rock actualmente. Quien me quiera contradecir escuche primero Baby 81.
    8. The Long Blondes RIP. Los extrañaremos. Extrañaremos la maravillosas letras de Dorian. El sexual baile de Kate. Pero ya pronto tendré 19.
    7.Cansei de Ser Sexy. Lo que quieras Lovefoxxx. Todos te amamos. Ahora nos gusta mas Death From Above.
    6.Kings of Convenience. Y yo que creía que no habia nada mejor del buen Erlend que The Whitest Boy Alive. Ahora ya no sé.
    5. The Kooks. Muchos sentimientos. Gran voz. Buenas y simples canciones.
    4.Radiohead. Cuanto tiempo me perdí de las delicias de esta banda. Ignoraba lo suculento que es In Rainbows. No puedo esperar mas para este marzo. Es un gran dos por uno.
    3. Hot Chip.

    De los mejores videos que he visto. Ready for the floor es fantástico. Gran disco el Made In The Dark. Mucho mejor que The Warning, en mi opinión. Y para terminar el año, una fabulosa presentacion en el DF.
    2.MGMT.

    Oracular Spectacular es maravilloso. Cosas como Electric Feel te ponen de buenas a la primera. Y cosas como Kids, Time to Pretend, The Handshake o Future Reflections tienen cierto toque de melancolía que me encanta: Aunque en el toquín del DF traian algo de hueva...
    1. Babasónicos
    .
    Una de mis mas recientes obsesiones. Puede que hayan retrocedido de Anoche a Mucho. Pero hiceron una de sus mejores canciones, que es Pijamas. Buen toquín festivalero en el vive.

    I spent the last twenty-four hours chilling out after an infuriating mistake I made by typing ctrl-w instead of ctrl-z while using the French keyboard, effectively wiping out a painfully long journal entry.

    So to keep it short and sweet, the 8 songs that defined the last year for me:
    Donc tout simplement, voici les 8 chansons qui résument cette dernière année pour moi :

    PlayMy Favourite Book - Stars
    La grande évasion - Autour de Lucie
    Nous voulons vivre - Pauline Croze
    PlayI Don't Know What I Can Save You From - Kings of Convenience
    Play83 - John Mayer
    The Loyal - Tiger Lou
    PlayThe Frog Prince - Keane
    PlayRazzle Dazzle Rose - Camera Obscura

  • 25 Questions

    31 Dec 2008, 09:21 by mechanicalbirds

    1. How did you get into 29?
    Cat Power

    I've known a girl named Janessy since I was very young, and we started to get closer than ever during high school. She lent me a copy of You Are Free once during the tenth grade. It skips a little, but for some reason, I've never downloaded a new one.

    2. What was the first song ever you heard about 22?
    Okkervil River

    For Real. A kid named Blake showed me the video on his iPod in the twelfth grade.

    3. What's your favorite lyric by 33?
    Laura Veirs

    "Galaxies roll down your cheek." I don't think it has the same effect when written, but I love the image of entire galaxies contained in something as small and ephemeral as tears.

    4. What is your favorite album by 49?
    Kings of Convenience

    Riot on an Empty Street. I've never been as huge on Quiet Is the New Loud, but I've loved Riot for years.

    5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
    Stars

    I've downloaded all but one, and that one I bought. I didn't used to be a huge fan of them until I saw them in concert and fell in love. And I've listened to In Our Bedroom After the War nonstop since, so when Sad Robots came out, I ordered it immediately. So that's the one.

    6. What is your favorite song by 50?
    Mirah/Ginger Takahashi

    Oh! September. It's really a beautiful track. I also love
