obsession

2011-12-03T14:15:00.000-08:00

do you hear this breath it's an obsessive breath
can you feel this beat it's an obsessive heart beat
waiting to be joined with its obsession

i close my eyes but i can't sleep
the thin membrane can't veil
the branded picture of you
The signs and signals show - the traffic lights say go
again you baffle me pretending not to see ...me

I broke into your room - I broke down in my room
touched your belongings there - and left a lock of my hair
another sign for you

you screamed into my face get the hell out of my place
another sign for me? can you forgive me?
for not understanding your ways

you know sometimes you take it all too far
then i remember it's a game between you and me
a divine test for us two

it's all in my imagination
yes they even say that our mission ...is only
my obsession

reencontrarme con esta canción me ha hundido más. el problema es que es tan preciosa que no puedo parar de escucharla...

POR FIN

There's a black hole behind these eyes
That takes everything with it when it dies

Until death's star decides to shine
We will recline in time together
Until death's star decides to shine
We will recline in time together
We will recline in time forever

let's have fun

Mañana concierto de Cosmen Adelaida junto con Ingenieros Alemanes, a las 21:30 en Costello Club, por 6 euros de nada
Y después, algo que va a revolucionar la noche madrileña por completo, algo que más de uno estábamos esperando desde hacía tiempo, algo diferente y arriesgado; en su inauguración contaron con los mismos Cosmen Adelaida que marcaron las paredes de la sala Dolce con su "Equis" y enmudecieron al público con sus potentes y distorsionadas guitarras. Ahora han ido un poco más allá y se han instalado en la mítica sala Nasti con muchas ganas de haceros bailar hasta el amanecer...
Shoegaze, lo-fi, surf, psicodelia y garage entre otros estilos, que harán temblar las calles de Malasaña, lejos de esa música electrónica y esos hits que tan hartos nos tienen a todos.
Sin listas, sin horarios, sin agobios. Sólo ganas de pasarlo bien en un ambiente auténtico, único y lleno de magia. Es un plan de jueves perfecto. No dejes que te lo cuenten, entra en La Caja del Diablo...

The alternative pop-rock and lo-fi recordings of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are full of intrigue, and full of contradictions. Pink, a male singer, composer, musician and producer who is based in Los Angeles, provides songs that are melodic, catchy and familiar; songs that, in their own unorthodox way, recall the most immediate, accessible, straight-forward FM pop-rock of the '70s and '80s. But Pink's work also comes across as bizarre, trippy, skewed and twisted; and a lot of that strangeness comes from his production style. As a songwriter, Pink has a real sense of pop-rock craftsmanship, but his very muddy way of producing and his oddball, kooky sound effects make the late '90s and early 2000s recordings of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti (which is really the name of a project, not an actual group) sound highly eccentric. At times, Pink (who plays guitar, bass and keyboards) sounds like he is singing into a mono cassette recorder in a basement or a garage back in 1977; he really goes out of his way to sound as underproduced and demo-like as possible. But once you get past his production style, it becomes apparent that Pink has strong pop-rock instincts (sometimes adding a touch of blue-eyed soul). The Southern Californian brings a long list of influences to the table: influences ranging from David Bowie, John Lennon, the Bee Gees, Hall & Oates and the Raspberries to Frank Zappa, Brian Eno, Roxy Music and late '70s/early '80s new wave. Some of Pink's melodies wouldn't have been out of place on Bowie's Station to Station album in 1976; some of them would have worked well for A Flock of Seagulls, Men at Work or the Talking Heads in the early '80s. But because Pink's production style is so quirky and off-center, those comparisons may not come as easily to listeners who don't have a taste for the bizarre; and depending on who you talk to, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is either mindlessly self-indulgent studio masturbation or the work of an insane musical genius. There are some listeners who just plain don't comprehend what he is doing, but the small cult following Pink acquired in the late '90s and early 2000s tends to be highly enthusiastic; Pink's admirers really swear by him and insist that there is a method to his madness. Pink recorded his first Haunted Graffiti project, The Doldrums, in 1999 and 2000; that disc was followed by Vital Pink a few years later. At first, The Doldrums and Vital Pink were only CD-Rs that Pink burned on his home computer and circulated himself, but in 2004, Pink landed a record deal with the independent Paw Tracks label (which seemed to admire his do-it-yourself work ethic and made him the first Paw Tracks artist who wasn't a part of the Animal Collective). In October 2004, The Doldrums was reissued by Paw Tracks and enjoyed much better distribution; Paw Tracks' version of The Doldrums spans 1999-2003 and also contains the material from Vital Pink.

Ella está sola como Bowie. Pero Bowie es Bowie, no necesita una banda.

(...) Una historia apasionante que sirvió para consagrar a tres monstruos del rock&roll y cuyo reverso quedó sintetizado cuando Bowie recordaba una noche cualquiera en el Max’s Kansas City, el club neoyorquino por excelencia, en la que él, Iggy y Reed compartían mesa sin absolutamente nada que decirse, espiándose furtivamente el maquillaje unos a otros.

El sueño fue azul, al final de la escapada. Fuimos tú y yo un par de sombras en la nada. Por primera vez nos miramos a los ojos, todos los caminos que tomamos se cerraban. Y me han dicho tantas veces que no sirvo para nada, que me importa más bien poco lo que opinen de mi vida. Mientras la carne de cañón se concentra en las afueras y los pijos en sus casas se desperezan por las tardes.
Dicen que tú y yo vamos perdidos.

Ahora me siento como ella. Con la diferencia de que no consumo drogas, no estamos en los 70 ni en Nueva York y no soy la musa de Andy Warhol.
Cómo ha cambiado todo...
