\foo fighters\(1997) The Colour and the Shape

Foo Fighters es el grupo creado en 1995 por Dave Grohl, el que fuera batería de Nirvana. Su primer disco y el propio grupo toman su nombre de la forma en que los pilotos americanos llamaban a los OVNIs en la Guerra Mundial II. En la grabación de aquél primer trabajo, Grohl tocó todos los instrumentos, salvo por una pequeña aportación de guitarra en uno de los temas; más tarde se unirían otros cuatro componentes (sobretodo con motivo de la primera gira) dando lugar al grupo propiamente dicho.
Básicamente, Foo Fighters es rock alternativo, que bebe tanto del punk-rock, hardcore y emocore, como del rock de los 70 (sobretodo Led Zeppelin) o incluso los 60 (evidente inclinación hacia los Beatles).
Pese a que Dave era "baquetas" en Nirvana, en Foo Fighters toma la posición de vocalista y guitarra, sobretodo una vez llegados "los refuerzos". Sin embargo, tras completar un cuarteto inicialmente con Pat Smear (que había tocado también con Nirvana), Nate Mendel (bajo) y William Goldsmith (batería), Grohl se vería forzado a volver a sentarse a la batería para terminar de grabar este "The Colour And The Shape", debido a la repentina marcha de Goldsmith (que no compartía la dirección musical que se estaba dando al mismo). Pronto llegaría Taylor Hawkins (de la banda de Alanis Morisette) para cubrir la vacante en la percusión y así quedaría cerrado el grupo de nuevo, aunque Pat Smear también acabaría abandonando la formación un tiempo después (durante 1997). Su puesto fue ocupado por Franz Stahl (un viejo conocido de Grohl, pues habían sido compañeros en el grupo Scream, años atrás) y, ahora sí, quedaba de esta forma cerrada, tras estos bailes, la formación de la era "The Colour And The Shape".

Sobre os museus...
.“...antes de mais nada, eu instalaria no mínimo um bar em cada andar; só isso pagaria todos os salários e permitiria a restauração e a salvação de algumas pinturas e dos tigres-de-dentes-de-sabre que estão com um cu que mais parece o bolso lateral de um vasta crioulo. depois mandaria instalar uma banda de rock, uma banda de swing e uma banda sinfônica para cada andar, mais três ou quatro mulheres bonitas para ficarem circulando e parecerem bonitas. você não aprende coisa alguma ou enxerga coisa alguma a não ser que você vibre. a maioria das pessoas apenas olha pr’aquele dente-de-sabre atrás daqueles vidros quentes e segue andando furtivamente um pouco envergonhado e um pouco aborrecido.
mas será que você não consegue enxergar um sujeito e sua esposa, cada um com uma cerveja na mão, olhando para o dente-de-sabre, e dizendo, “cacete, olha pra essas presas! meio parecidas com as de um elefante, heim?”
e ela diria, “gatinho, vamos pra casa fazer amor!”
e ele diria, “no cu”! não antes que eu desça até o porão e veja aquela espada de 1917. dizem que o próprio Eddie Rickenbacker a utilizou. pegou dezessete hunos. além disso, ouvi dizer que o Pink Floyd está lá embaixo.”
mas os Revolucionários queimarão o museu. eles acham que o incêndio resolve tudo. queimariam a sua avó se ela não conseguisse correr o suficientemente rápido. e sairão em busca de água ou de alguém que possa impedir os verdadeiramente insanod de cortarem suas gargantas enquanto dormem. e descobrirão quantos ratos moram na cidade, não ratos humanos mas ratos-ratos. e descobrirão que os ratos são as últimas coisas a se afogar, aqueimar, a morrer de fome; que eles são as primeiras coisas com capacidade de achar comida e água porque estiveram fazendo isso durante séculos sem nenhuma ajuda. os ratos são os verdadeiros revolucionários; os ratos são os verdadeiros undergrounds, mas não querem o seu cu exceto para mordiscar e não estão interessados em OOOOOOOOOMMM.”
Charles Bukowski, em “Notas de um Velho safado”

Rush - Test For Echo 1996


Test For Echo fue su tercer y último disco en estudio de la década de los 90’s, un material que como siempre se ganó la admiración de los fans, aunque no así la de los puristas del progresivo atrapados en los 70’s y 80’s que detestaron el sonido pesado y directo de esta producción en la que muchas de sus canciones rayaban en el Heavy Metal. Sin embargo puedo decir que Rush es un grupo que siempre tuvo esa inclinación hacia el Metal, pero que a pesar ello el grupo nunca se traicionó a sí mismo y siguió siendo progresivo; es un disco de una excelente calidad y ni por broma a regular llega, es el mismo Rush de siempre pero más pesado.

Da Sedução dos Anjos
Anjos seduzem-se: nunca ou a matar.
Puxa-o só para dentro de casa e mete-
-Lhe a língua na boca e os dedos sem frete
Por baixo da saia até se molhar
Vira-o contra a parede, ergue-lhe a saia
E fode-o. Se gemer, algo crispado
Segura-o bem, fá-lo vir-se em dobrado
P'ra que do choque no fim te não caia.
Exorta-o a que agite bem o cu
Manda-o tocar-te os guizos atrevido
Diz que ousar na queda lhe é permitido
Desde que entre o céu e a terra flutue –
Mas não o olhes na cara enquanto fodes
E as asas, rapaz, não lhas amarrotes.
Bertold Brecht

Atlantis Philharmonic (1974)
.This USA duo formed in Cleveland during the early/mid 70’s by Royce Gibson on drums and the multi instrumentalist Joe DiFazio on everything else. Their style is mostly the blending of Symphonic influences like CAMEL, ELP, etc with some Fusion and a bit of the sound of the MOODY BLUES and Hard Rock by moments. Their first and only LP is the 1974 self titled album released by the label “Deutsche Harmonia Mundi”. the eclectic sound of this album has very characteristic features like the excellent vocals close to a blend of Psyche and Pop plus a hard edged guitar that reminds of Early ELP or THE NICE with a touch of CAMEL. But this isn’t all, in tracks as ”Friends” we can finds some heavy rock influence similar to URIAH HEEP or DEEP PURPLE, others closer to ATOMIC ROOSTER like “Atlantis", plus atmospheric touches like in the incredible “Woodsman” that also blends some Jazzy leanings, strange but this last track reminds me a bit of the KING CRIMSON's masterpiece In the Court of the Crimson King”

Lésbia
Cróton selvagem, tinhorão lascivo,
planta mortal, carnívora, sangrenta,
da tua carne báquica rebenta
a vermelha explosão de um sangue vivo.
Nesse lábio mordente e convulsivo,
ri, ri, risadas de expressão violenta
o Amor, trágico e triste, e passa, lenta,
a morte, o espasmo gélido, aflitivo...
Lésbia nervosa, fascinante e doente,
cruel e demoníaca serpente
das flamejantes atrações do gozo.
Dos teus seios acídulos, amargos,
fluem capros aromas e os letargos,
os ópios de um luar tuberculose...

Astor Piazzolla & Kronos Quartet – Five Tango Sensations
Dedicado ao lindo amor de Bird & Velvet Goldmine...
“Does tango have any true relevance today? The answer must be assuredly, vehemently in the affirmative. At its creative and emotional best, tango is more than its own clichés perpetuated in pap arrangements. To a considerable degree, it is Astor Piazolla who is responsible for ensuring tango’s continued growth.
More than a dance revisiting its sensuous past, tango is the pulse of a society. Like Algerian rai, Portuguese fado, Greek rembetika, and American blues, it taps into the wellspring of a sub-culture. Invoking those familiar and perhaps not-so-familiar names is more than specious intellectualism or a case of clutching at the handy straws of comparison, for tango too was born to a demimonde culture. It too was the music of the urban disadvantaged. It too was the music of rebellion for a sub-class frowned upon, in its case, by Argentinian high society – unless its socialites decided to go slumming so divinely.
Tango did not lose its voice when its great star Carlos Gardel died in 1935, even if they say a nation went into mourning. Tango was a living tradition and a music of survival; nonetheless it still came perilously close to decline. Tango survived, found new voices and Piazolla was one of those new voices. At the time of Gardel’s death Piazolla was a teenager living in New York, yet he had already successfully auditioned for the maestro and had already been recognized as being someone to watch.
Piazolla brought to tango influences as diverse as jazz, contemporary classicism and Italian opera, out of which he distilled Nuevo tango (‘New Tango’). And while the tango of the cryonic chamber slept on, his music sang a more urgent, radical song. His song did not always please. It challenged. It aroused passions. It communicated duende, that spirit of inspiration of which Federico Garcia Lorca spoke so persuasively, and like duende, it communicated danger, in Piazzolla’s case, not just of the figurative sort. His life was threatened, his music decried by people whose complacency was unsettled by such rampant innovation and studied disregard for the conventional. But in time Piazolla was recognized as one of tango’s inspirational voices, as inspirational a figure in music as his compatriot Jorge Luis Borges was in literature. That is a measure of Astor Piazzolla’s greatness.
Five Tango Sensations is the composer’s second piece for the Kronos Quartet. His first, Four, For Tango, came about after seeing the group play in New York City; eventually they would interpret it on their 1988 Nonesuch album Winter Was Hard.
The bandoneon that Piazzolla plays, he has remarked, was born in a church in Germany and moved on to the Prostibulos – the brothels of Argentina. Tango began in the whorehouses of Argentina and moved on to the world’s concert halls. That inversion packs an irony as cutting as razorwire.” Ken Hunt, November 1990.

Piratas – Sua História Através dos Tempos II
A INCRÍVEL HISTÓRIA DE ANNE BONNY & MARY READ
..
Ilustração de Anne, numa litografia do Século XVIII“Anne Bonny e Mary Read (1684-1721) foram as duas piratas femininas mais famosas do Caribe. Ela navegou na tripulação de Jack Morim Rackham. Anne era a amante de Morim mas sobre ela não se poderia dizer que era menos destemida do que qualquer outro pirata. Nasceu no município de Cortiça, filha de um advogado e da sua empregada. O advogado deixou a Irlanda em desgraça mas criou fortuna na Carolina do Norte onde comprou uma grande plantação.
Um pirata com o nome de James Bonny casou-se com Anne numa tentativa de roubar a plantação, mas o pai de Anne deserdou-a. James Bonny levou então Anne para as Bahamas, onde ele se tornou informante do governador Woodes Rogers. Anne repugnava o seu marido covarde e depressa se envolveu com Jack Morim, um pirata de algum renome. O Governador Rogers tinha oferecido uma amnistia recentemente a todos os piratas.
A admiração entre a Anne e Morim era mútua. Morim era um homem bonito que gostava de gastar bem o espólio de guerra. Anne era uma moça bem dotada com um espírito aventureiro e temperamento que se parecia com o de qualquer homem, isto de acordo com as convenções da altura.
Jack Morim ofereceu um valor para comprar Anne ao seu marido James Bonny, mas ele levou o assunto ao Governador Rogers que determinou que Anne seria açoitada e teria que voltar ao marido dela. Uma noite, Jack Morim e Anne passaram despercebidos no porto, roubaram uma embarcação e começaram uma vida de pirataria juntos.
Anne lutou vestindo-se como homem. Era uma perita com pistola e espada e era considerada tão perigosa quanto qualquer pirata masculino. Ela era destemida na batalha e lutava como ninguém.
Em Outubro de 1720, em retribuição ao seu informante, o governador da Jamaica, ouvindo falar na presença de Jack Morim enviou uma embarcação armada para intervir e capturar o Capitão Jack Morim e sua tripulação. O navio “Revange” do capitão Jack Morim, foi capturado de surpresa e para o desânimo de Anne, os piratas lutaram como covardes e estavam perdendo a batalha facilmente.Anne Bonny e Mary Read, também foram capturadas mas confessaram o "sexo" se declararam culpadas e seriam enforcadas depois que elas dessem à luz. (Ambas as mulheres estavam na ocasião grávidas). Mary Read escapou do carrasco morrendo de febre enquanto estava na prisão. Anne porém, recebeu vários despachos de execução antes de desaparecer misteriosamente. Muitos acreditam que Mary Read teria recebido um perdão eventualmente se ela não tivesse morrido de doença.” (Wikipedia)“Anne Bonny is remembered today as one of the two most well-known women pirates active during the pirates' heyday during the early 18th century. As far as pirates go, she was not that important in plundering and she was not a captain of a vessel like nearly all of the remembered pirates today. She was however, able to hide her true identity by disguising herself as a man since the clothes of the day was often loose and baggy. She also was a good fighter and carried her own weight in sailing and in combat just as well as any of the male crewmen, and in some cases, much better!
Anne Bonny was born near Cork, Ireland to a well respected lawyer but her mother was the family house maid. The lawyer's wife found out of his affair with the maid and in the scandal that followed he lost his law practice. He packed up his belongings and took his new lover and their daughter to start a new life in Carolina where she would now be his true wife.
During this time Anne fell in love with a penniless seaman named James Bonny. She knew her father would not agree to their marriage so they secretly wed hoping her father would have to accept it once it was done. But instead, he was outraged and kicked her out from the household and the newlyweds soon seperated.

The earliest illustration of Anne Bonny from Captain Johnson’s History of the Most Notorious Pyrates. The later 1725 illustrations of Bonny and Read were later amended to make the female pirates
.
While at a tavern in the Bahamas in May 1719, she met the pirate Calico Jack and the two soon fell in love. She became pregnant and Calico Jack took her to be cared for by some of his friends in Cuba and after this he convinced her to join his pirate crew disguised as man.
While pirating with her new lover, Bonny became attracted to a new crewman that came aboard from a plundered vessel. Bonny decided to tell the crewman of her true identity and much to her suprise the other crewman revealed she was also a woman, named Mary Read. They decided to tell Calico Jack about Read's secret and apparently he did not mind the second woman crewman. Both Bonny and Read became good friends and when Calico Jack's pirate ship was boarded in October 1720, only the two women tried to fight off the invaders and rally their fellow pirates, but the male crewmen easily surrendered. Their fight was in vain as they were too far outnumbered and were taken prisoner.
The two women had a seperate trial from the men twelve days later on November 28. The men's trial ended with a convition and sentence of death to 12 men including Calico Jack. He was able to see her one last before his execution and she stated to him "that she was sorry to see him there, but if he had fought like a man, he need not have been hanged like a dog." The men were hung the two following days, and soon after the two women would begin their trial. The verdict was the same for them - they would be hanged until dead. The two women then revealed that they were both pregnant and a following examination proved they were so they were both were spared the hangman's noose. What happened to Anne Bonny and her child is not known.Along with Mary Read, Anne Bonny is one of the rare instances in history where a woman's pirate's life is known. The fact that they both were able to hide their sexuality to the crew is amazing; and in the end, the women's brave battle against the boarders while the rest of the crew cowered deserves respect in itself.” (FortuneCity)
