Loco-motion
Grand Funk Railroad
Everybodys doin a brand new dance now.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
I know youll get to like it if you give it a chance now.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
My little baby sister can do it with ease,
Its easier than learnin your abcs.
So, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me.
Youve got to swing your hips now,
Oooo ...
Come on,
Oooo ...
Come on.
Jump up,
Oooo ...
Jump up.
Jump back,
Oooo ...
Jump back.
Oh, well, I think youve got the knack.
Oooo ...
Woah ... woah.
Now that you can do it, well, lets make a chain now.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
A chuga-chuga motion like a railroad train, now.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
Do it nice and easy now, and dont lose control,
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul,
So, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me.
Woah ... woah.
Move around the floor in a loco-motion.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
Do it holdin hands ifn you get the notion.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
Theres never been a dance thats so easy to do,
It even makes you happy when youre feelin blue.
So, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
So, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
So, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.
Come on baby, do the loco-motion.

Todo Oídos
Recién conocí a este grupo (dueto) por medio de un buen amigo de la oficina; ja, quién iba a decir que algún día iba a pasarme eso.... anyway....
Pomplamoose es un dueto californiano compuesto por Nataly Down (encantadora como ella sola) y Jack Conte (creativo como él solo); si buscan en internet es complicado encontrar algo, vamos, ni siquiera Wikipedia les ha dedicado un espacio. Lo más impresionante es que podemos encontrar videos donde solo salen ellos tocando en lo que parece un estudio casero; qué delicia desmenuzar el fenómeno musical y quitar todo lo que no sirve; el concepto del mainstream, el video musical donde gastan millones de dólares, la mercadotecnia y la ambición; ¿qué queda? sólo un gusto perturbador por hacer música.
¿A qué suenan? Difícil de explicar, ella tiene una voz angelical, él toca todo lo que tiene cerca; a veces me suenan tan dulces como Belle & Sebastian o un poco a Blonde Redhead, pero más divertidos que estos 2. Es una delicia. PUNTO.
Les dejo algunos videos y el link a su myspace donde venden sus canciones. Si alguien las compra, las rolan!
Hacen covers bien chidos...

Morrissey - You Are The Quarry

Si ya sé que ya conocen varias rolas, ¿Quién no sucumbió ante el encanto de "First of the Gang to Die"?... ¿O qué me dicen del romanticismo/irónico/platónico de "Let me Kiss You"?...
Este señor regresó al mundo de la música en 2004 dándole vida nueva a su imagen que al parecer comenzaba a caer en el olvido y en la nostalgia. Si bien es cierto que como solista tiene joyitas como "Suedehead", "The more you ignore me, the closer I get", pero francamente su carrera mostraba un declive evidente con tan sólo ver las portadas de sus discos. "You are the Quarry" reafirma los dotes como letrista e intérprete del buen Moz y además se hace acompañar por una banda que no tiene madre.
"America is not the World" para abrir el disco y darle un puñetazo elegante al Imperio:
"In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity,
In a just and a truthful way.
But where the president, is never black*, female or gay,
and until that day,you've got nothing to say to me, to help me believe"
(Bueno, al menos ya se cumplió una de las 3... A menos que a Obama también le truene la reversa).
En fin, un disco encantador de pies a cabeza, aunque advierto que sólo puede serlo para quienes gustan de The Smiths/Morrissey, pues entiendo no es agradable para todos.
Especial atención en "The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores", "How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel" y "I'm not Sorry".
De paso recomiendo que vean el DVD "Who Put the M in Manchester?", para que vean como un divo se come el escenario.

Clumsy
Our Lady Peace
Throw away the radio
Suitcase...Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case...You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It's not alright now...You need to understand
There's nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends...You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here
Throw away this very old...shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand...there's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in...watching you and
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy has you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in...
I'll be wavin my hand...Watching you drown...
Watching you scream...Quiet or loud...
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here...Yeah
You will be safe in here...in here...Yeah
in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah

Siguiendo el mood del disco anterior recomendado por Turkish les dejo esta joyita, a mi gusto la mejor canción del album llamado de la misma manera.
Una disculpa a todos por dejarlos tantos días sin "Track del Día", ya no envíen correos ni cartas, ni llamen a mi celular tratando de revivir la sección; ya lo hice yo.

Rocket Man
Elton John
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And Im gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Its lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think its gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Im not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Im a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars aint the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact its cold as hell
And theres no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I dont understand
Its just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think its gonna be a long long time...

Happy Together

Imagine me and you I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me

Lights out
Lights out
Shoot up the station
TV's dead where's there to run
Watch everybody come undone
Lights out
We'll make it easy
We'll make it fun
Won't let them see now, how they had won
Still I wait another round
Darling
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darling
Don't got to worry turn out the light
Wiped out
No concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form
Wiped out
They could see me; that's what I want
A casualty, but I am upfront
And I know what it's about
Darling
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darling
Don't got to worry turn out the light
I'm still a shaking my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run

Twentysomething
Jamie Cullum
After years of expensive education,
a car full of books and anticipation,
I’m an expert on Shakespeare and that’s a hell of a lot
but the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.
Maybe I'll go travelling for a year,
finding myself or start a career.
I could work for the poor though I’m hungry for fame
we all seem so different but we're just the same.
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat,
aren't things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers? Who do you trust?
I can't even separate love from lust.
Maybe I’ll move back home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my friday nights,
drinking eight pints and getting in fights.
I don't want to get up, just let me lie in,
leave me alone, I'm a twenty something.
Maybe I'll just fall in love that could solve it all,
philosophers say that that’s enough,
there surely must be more. Ooooh
Love ain’t the answer nor is work,
the truth eludes me so much it hurts.
But I’m still having fun and I guess that's the key,
I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me.
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
I’m a twenty something.
Let me lie in, Leave me alone.
I’m a twenty something.
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
doh dah duh dah, do duh dah dah dah
Si, si, si. Gracias demonio de ojos verdes.

Hold tight, count to three,
Gotta stay close by me
And hold tight, sing and shout
Just ride my round-about
And hold tight, shut your eyes, girl,
You suit me for size.
Forget the other guys.
You'll never fall each time you call.
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight.
Hold tight make me feel
What you say is for real
And hold tight, Carousel, girl,
You'll soon ring my bell
And hold tight, we will fly,
Swinging low, swinging high.
We're gonna make the sky.
You'll never fall each time you call.
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight.
Hold tight, count to three,
Gotta stay close by me

Aztec Camera - High Land, Hard Rain

Este álbum tiene un par de canciones que la neta, me pegan en los huevos; pero de ese dolor chido, como el de los moretones; en fin, soy de los que de niño se arrancaba las costras.
Cuando conocí a Aztec Camera me encontraba divagando por la red en uno de esos tantos momentos de ocio que tengo gracias a mi empleo (el sr. bendiga mi empleo), lo primero que me llamó la atención es que se hacía referencia a que era contemporáneo del Morrissey solista, pero un poco más feliz. El grupo (al menos durante las sesiones de esta delicia) estaba conformado por Roddy Frame (el Robert Smith de la agrupación, ya saben, no sé por qué coños no se consigue un grupo de acompañamiento y usa su nombre de pila para sacar sus materiales, en fin) Campbell Owens y Dave Mulholland; originado en Suecia este disco salió en mil novecientos ochenta y tantos; por obvias razones (el amor que compartimos por la música) decidí bajarlo y aunque debo reconocer que a la primera, a la segunda, y hasta a la tercera escuchada nada pasó (espero que no les suceda a ustedes) a partir de las siguientes no he podido sacarlo de mi cabeza. La que abre es una delicia llamada "Oblivious" que, si no me equivoco, es el intento por una canción de amor, es una miniobradearte que está llena de matices que van desde guitarras super melódicas y cursis hasta un bajo lleno de funk y coros de ángel, acompañada todo de una letra picarona y a la vez profunda. Es una delicia. Sin duda la mejor del álbum, después "The Boy Wonders" y la super alegre "Walk Out To Winter" donde puedo ubicar hasta un poco de reggae, lo que me hace pensar "AMO EL BAJO, NUNCA SE TIENE DEMASIADO BAJO". El mood disminuye adecuadamente con la super solitaria "The Bugle Sounds Again" y la ardidísima "We could send letters" para luego levantarnos de la mano con el ritmo pegajoso de "Pillar to post" para luego tirarnos con su letra, jaja, divino, como las viejas, jajaja. Luego probablemente la canción más romántica del álbum, "Release", perfecta para un run away con la amada. Lo que más me encanta del disco es la imperiosa necesidad que tienen los 3 cabrones (tenían) para que nada sonara a lo anterior, sin que esto le quite coherencia al álbum. "Down The Dip" me recuerda a lo que harían muchísimos años después Los Libertines de un inicio, ya saben, cuando se llevaban bien. Después de un par de canciones que son lindas, pero que sinceramente no están a la altura de las demás, cierra con una maravilla como "Queen´s tatoos". En fin, en mis oídos es un grandioso disco, por ahí hay un par de canciones que bien podrían hacer el viaje un poco tedioso, pero no las adelanten, es una experiencia compleja, pero super placentera.
Espero les agrade.

Paul McCartney - RAM

Ram es un disco que considero como el más grande en la trayectoria SOLISTA de Sir Paul, remarco lo de SOLISTA, por que diferencia de otros posteriores como "Band on the run", "Ram" fue un disco compuesto enteramente por Paul McCartney, bueno Linda McCartney lo ayudó para hacer algunos coros y teclados... y quién mejor para ayudarte a realizar tu obra maestra en solitario que el amor de tu vida, a poco no? Si de por si elaborar una canción con una banda tiene cierta dificultad y elaborar una canción solo es aún más complejo, hacer un disco en solitario, en donde además se aprecien buenas letras, numerosos instrumentos y diversos estilos musicales, considero que es la consagración de alguien como músico. Sé que algunas canciones ya las han escuchado, pero estoy seguro que pocos han escuchado el disco en su totalidad. La variedad del disco es amplia, contiene desde rudas y agresivas letras en contra de John Lennon o mejor dicho en respuesta a cosas que John también había escrito, hasta hermosas canciones de amor que demostraban lo enamorado que se encontraba en aquel entonces viviendo apartado de la civilización únicamente con su familia en una granja en Escocia. Escuchen "Heart of the country" la hubiera puesto en muchas pedas de no ser por el exceso de alcohol y drogas. La calidad creativa de Paul nadie la puede poner en tela de juicio, pero siento que mucha gente lo respeta por su fama y por haber sido un Beatle y no por conocer realmente sus canciones (más que sus hits), también hay quien no simpatiza con él por considerarlo el "fresita" de los Beatles, yo prefiero la actitud y las letras de Lennon, pero siempre he reconocido que el de mayor talento musical en aquella banda era Paul McCartney.
Espero lo disfruten:
