PRINCESS CHELSEA - THE CIGARETTE DUET

Yeah It's just a cigarette.

what can I say? Enjoy the video  :)

It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad
Honey don't you love me and you know it makes me sad
It's just a cigarette like you always use to do
I was do from then I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it hurts your pretty lungs
Well it's only twice a week so there's not much other chance
It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light
Maybe but it isn't worth that we fight
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie Lee
She's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once
(It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten)
It's just a cigarette and it's only twice a week
(It will make you sick girl, there's not much other chance)
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did
(It's just a cigarette and we're sorry that we did)
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

VIVIAN GIRLS

       


Vivian Girls are an American band from Brooklyn  formed in 2007. The members are: Cassie Ramone (guitar/vocals) , Kickball Katy Goodman (bass/drums/vocals), Ali Koehler (drummer).
The sound is an incredible mix of  noise-pop, punk rock and  post grunge. Simple and gutsy music with a lot of class and melody.


The albums are: 


Vivian girls (2008)
Everything Goes Wrong (2009)
Share the Joy (2011)



the cds have arrived. The first impression is: there aren't differences between the three albums, always the same sound.   I knew that 'vivian girls' were  a lo-fi band but   i'd expected more sound's quality because sometime i had the idea there was too much noise caused by the guitar.


Afterall I like their songs and i like lo-fi of course

CHRIS BURDEN

Chris Burden was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1946. Soon thereafter, his family moved to California. He obtained a B.F.A at Pomona College, Claremont, California and later a M.F.A at the University of California in 1971. The early seventies, the period when Chris Burden produced his first mature works, was characterized by the idea that the truly important, viable art of the future would not be with objects, things that you could simply sell and hang on your wall. Art, instead, would address political, social, environmental and technological change. Earth, performance, body, video, computer, narrative and conceptual art became the new mediums. Burden, with his shockingly simple, unforgettable, "here and now" performances shook the conventional art world and took this new art form to its extreme.

The images of Burden that continue to resonate in public mind is of a young man who had himself shot (Shoot, 1971 At 7:45 p.m. I was shot in the left arm by a friend. The bullet was a copper jacket 22 long rifle. My friend was standing about fifteen feet away from me.) electrocuted, (Doorway to Heaven, 1973), impaled, cut (Back to You, 1974;Through the Night, 1973) , drowned (Velvet Water, 1974), kidnapped, locked up ( Five Day Locker Piece, 1971)…Over the past thirty years Burden has produced a multitude of assemblages, installations, kinetic and static sculptures and scientific models.

Chris Burden works and lives in California and has been represented by Gagosian Gallery since 1991. He has had major retrospectives at the Newport Harbor Art Museum, Newport Beach, California (1988) and MAK-Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna (1996). In 1999 Burden exhibited at the 48th Venice Biennale and the Tate Gallery in London. And for the summer of 2008 a 65 foot tall skyscraper made of Erecter set parts, titled What My Dad Gave Me, stood in front of Rockefeller Center, New York City.

BLANK DOGS - UNDER AND UNDER

Blank Dogs is the brainchild of one prolific, mysterious Brooklynite named Mike Sniper. Under and under released in 2009 is the second album for the band.

There is no best track here, the tracks are very similar but personally i like these album because they have demonstrated how to make music with cheap and old  instrument for an original low-fi,fuzzy and trashy sound.


Probably not all will appreciate this album

 

Amy Winehouse Has Died

Sky News has confirmed that Amy Winehouse was found dead inside of her home in London. I'm going to need more receipts before I do the slow wall fall while silently screaming out, "Wi-noooooooooooo."

It looks like I got those sad receipts. The police issued a statement to theBBC saying that a 27-year-old woman was found dead in Amy Winehouse's house at a little after 4pm today.

"Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

Unconfirmed reports say that Amy died of an alcohol and drug overdose.

A lot of people are saying that we all saw this coming, but I really didn't. Maybe I'm naive as all fuck. But I thought Amy Winehouse would outlive us all and make a million more albums and throw spit bombs at a million more bitchy fans. You know, like Keef Richards or Courtney Love. I really don't know what to say. I'm sure Amy's sitting around the 27 Club table with Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison right now.

Rest in peace, Amy. Your voice spoke to my broken heart, nobody could wore a busted mound of black polyester hair like you and ballet slippers will never be the same again.

PETE DOHERTY - (I DUNNO THE TITLE)

"squintin the word snipped like sight by sunlight
through smoke and a deep blue screen flecked in christ
knows what blood and remnants of - oh - sirens all
the time . did you hear any just as you read that? how peculiar

do I look like an untrustworthy person? indecipherable letters
from pirate brothers and Austrian and Finnish girls. I know they trust me
because they write about songs, and deep held beleifs of old
held dear in true hearts. cut me up in charicature
and slap me down and bang me up but you can't bleed bones dry
of infinite melody dizzy with fame and misfortune, ruinin lives habitually.

the doctor looked at me and said 'you're goin to become an alcoholic'
my frame is slight but warped with fury and some devilish resistance.
vodka rivers followin a car north at a rate of knots, spewing out a window.
I think not doctor. Its to be abstinance or a return to the palace of bone.

i sit awhile with a forbidden government author
heart biro'd round so many times it seeps through the pages
enveloped in sadness and hides too the longing to be free. at least,
to decide. If I should cry in a sweat box taken from the magistrates to some cell think this only - that if I'd kept my nerve
and my legal aid pulls it off, the I wanted to thank god

and anyone who never trusted me because I mostly tell the truth.
even when I lie"

PETE DOHERTY - CLEAR AS THEY CAN MAKE OUT

CLEAR AS THEY CAN MAKE OUT

Can't tell who breaks light in 2
threads marble through
leaks in table give

There are no clues
except for a pair of old shoes
a morning full of blues
a brand new bruise

Some time before right now
i like getting up in the morning
and watching the sun going down
i like getting up in the morning
on the eening you know?
Dream splinter like a cosmic book catastrophes
colours like windows planks and
Limbs
Shattered
Nearly all
Sits about a cloud of dust

PETE DOHERTY - AN EXTRACT FROM PRISON DIARY

January 29

I see paint-cracked walls stained with shite
Long long lock-up days
Cold lonely nights
And I think to myself ... what a wonderful world
I see men touching fists
Saying "watcha bruv"
Screams from below
Shit parcels from above
And I think to myself ...
I see my true love
On a Rimmel advert

SUNDAY AFTERNOON

THE LIBERTINES - LUST OF THE LIBERTINES

This morning i woke up singing:
The Lust of the libertines is really quite tame ..........
It could all end this way then some things won't be the same .............
But I'll be soundly sleeping, I'll be soundly sleeping .......................
Yeah it's a libertines' song. now i remember!

She's so cold, she's so nice with me.
                                   
 I think i love her more than ever.

I've to go. I need to put on my feet again.
I'm jus a little bit tipsy and i'm giggling.
i don't mind. Actually i don't know.
Honey I'll see you later!

OCEANIA: SMASHING PUMPKINS' NEW ALBUM ON SEPTEMBER 1 2011

Smashing Pumpkins have unveiled the tracklisting for their ninth studio album 'Oceania', which is set for formal release later this year.

The band's frontman Billy Corgan, wrote on Twitter.com/billy: "I'm assuming those that are Smashing Pumpkins fans in the crowd wouldn't mind me putting up a tentative tracklisting of the 'Oceania' album?" He then wrote the running order which you can see at the bottom of your screen.

The tracks have been released as part of the band's ongoing 'Teargarden By Kaleidyscope' project, which sees the band releasing new songs online in batches and then making them available for download.

Billy Corgan has indicated recently that though he feels the format of an album isn't particularly relevant, he believes the songs set to feature on 'Oceania' are "supposed to go together."

He said in a video on the band's Facebook page: "I still stand by my view that I don't think albums are particularly relevant at this time. That may change. But as far as making music, from a writing point of view, it's really going to focus me to put a group of songs together that are supposed to go together."

The tracklisting for 'Oceania' is as follows:

'O/'
'Pale Horse'
'Panopticon'
'The Chimera'
'Four Winds Chime'
'Glissandra'
'Inkless'
'My Love Is Winter'
'Special K'
'Pinwheels'
'Oceania'
'Violet Rays'
'Quasar'

THE NEW ALBUM OF THE KOOKS OUT ON 12th SEPT 2011: JUNK OF THE HEART

Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has toldNME that the UK quartet are hard at work on their third album, and plan on an early 2011 release for junk of the heart. Recording in New York and London, the band brought in producer Jim Abbiss, who is also responsible for the extremely British works of Arctic Monkeys and Editors. Suffice it to say, this probably won’t be sounding like American folk-rock.

The tracklist:

"Junk of the heart (Happy)"
"How’d you like that"
"Rosie"
"Taking pictures Of you"
"Killing me"
"fuck the World off'
"Time above the earth"
"Runaway"
"Is it me"
"Petulia"
"Eskimo kiss"
"Mr. nice guy"

COFFEE AND CIGARETTES

I gave up coffee and cigarettes 

I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet 

I thought my problems would just dissipate 

And all my pain would be in yesterday

I thought that if I didn’t go and play 

The sadness would get bored and go away 

I thought that if I didn’t go astray 

That all my pain would be in yesterday 

I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday 

But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit

BLOC PARTY REUNITE FOR NEW ALBUM

After disappearing from our musical sights back in 2009, Bloc Party has announced they are recording new material together.

In the last two years, most of the band members have concentrated on solo projects. Kele Okereke released his solo album, The Boxer, while bassist Russell Lissack has been playing as a touring guitarist for Ash.

"Kele and I started working on Bloc Party stuff," Lissack recently told NME. "We're having a bit of a break until the festivals are over, because people have commitments during the summer, but we're going to get back properly in September and sit in a rehearsal studio to work on new band material."

Although drummer Matt Tong wrote on his Facebook account that the band will "most likely not" play any concerts in 2011, there are plans to make a new record this year.
