10. Theme For The May Queen No. 3Technology Won’t Save Us’, the eagerly awaited follow up to 2004’s critically acclaimed ‘People Are Like Seasons’ (City Slang/The Flower Shop Recordings). As a loose collective of musicians assembled by front man and songwriter Robin Proper-Sheppard, SOPHIA were formed after the sudden and tragic death of friend and bass player Jimmy Fernandez and untimely end of his former band, the massively influential The God Machine. Steadily evolving since the stripped down introspective melancholy of their 1996 debut ‘Fixed Water’, ‘The Infinite Circle’ (1998), 2001’s string-accompanied live album ‘De Nachten’ and ‘People Are Like Seasons’ SOPHIA are currently a truly unique proposition, trading in what Drowned In Sound calls ‘considered widescreen brilliance’ and The Daily Telegraph describes as ‘Easily a match for the big, universal songs of Flaming Lips or the Verve… deserves to be massive. Realist romanticism, to be loved long-term…’. Robin describes ‘Technology Won’t Save Us’ as ‘probably the most adventurous album I’ve made so far’ and from the heavily orchestrated opening instrumental track, which shares its name with the album, it’s easy to see why.
Technology Won't Save Us: An instrumental song inspired by the true story of a father and his nine-year-old son that drown together after becoming stranded on the mud flats and sand bars off the Cumbrian coastline of the UK. Disorientated by the fog and quickly rising tides, the father was in constant contact with the rescue team via his mobile phone and although the rescuers were just a few hundred meters away, the raging tide and lack of visibility made it impossible for the pair to be saved. During one of the calls, the son was said to be sitting on his fathers' shoulders and rushing water can be heard in the background…_http://www.sendspace.com/file/lejn2s -
ufff, el tema que abre el disco de SOPHIA es una pasada

Triple ración de rarezas de Waits:
_When I was small I always thought that songwriters sat alone at upright pianos in cramped smoky little rooms with a bottle and an ashtray and everything came in the window blew through them and came out of the piano as a song…and in a weird way that is exactly what happens.
What’s Orphans? I don’t know. Orphans is a dead end kid driving a coffin with big tires across the Ohio River wearing welding goggles and a wife beater with a lit firecracker in his ear.
At the center of this record is my voice. I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice, I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer…I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument.
Kathleen and I wanted the record to be like emptying our pockets on the table after an evening of gambling, burglary, and cow tipping. We enjoy strange couplings, that’s how we got together. We wanted Orphans to be like a shortwave radio show where the past is sequenced with the future, consisting of things you find on the ground, in this world and no world, or maybe the next world. Whatever you imagine that to be.
If a record really works at all, it should be made like a homemade doll with tinsel for hair and seashells for ears stuffed with candy and money. Or like a good woman’s purse with a Swiss army knife and a snake bite kit.
Orphans contains songs for all occasions. Some of the songs were written in turmoil and recorded at night in a moving car, others were written in hotel rooms and recorded in Hollywood during big conflamas. That’s when conflict weds drama. At any rate these are the ones that survived the flood and were rescued from the branches of trees after the water’s retreat.
Gathering all this material together was like rounding up chickens at the beach. It’s not like you go into vault and check out what you need. Most of it was lost or buried under the house. Some of the tapes I had to pay ransom for to a plumber in Russia. You fall into the vat. We started to write just to climb out of the vat. Then you start listening and sorting and start writing in response to what you hear. And more recording. And then you get bit by a spider, go down the gopher hole, and make a whole different record. That was the process pretty much the last three years.
Then we met Karl Derfler, a wizard engineer who works at Bay Side Studios in Richmond, CA, in the science fiction part of town. A battlefield medic, he did a Lazarus on a number of the songs and recorded all the new material.
On Orphans there is a mambo about a convict who breaks out of jail with a fishbone, a gospel train song about Charlie Whitman and John Wilkes Boothe, a delta blues about a disturbing neighbor, a spoken word piece about a woman who was struck by lightening, an 18th century Scottish madrigal about murderous sibling rivalry, an American backwoods a cappella about a hanging. Even a song by Jack Kerouac and a spiritual with my own personal petition to the Lord with prayer…There’s even a show tune about an old altar boy and a rockabilly song about a young man who’s begging to be lied to.
I think you will find more singing and dancing here than usual. But I hope fans of more growling, more warbling, more barking, more screeching won’t be disappointed either.
Tom Waits
August 2006Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards is a spectacular musical journey, which visits most every genre of American song tradition.
The diverse 56-song, 3-disc collection captures the full scope of Tom Waits’ shamanic powers as a vocalist, literary lyricist, romantic melodist, innovative arranger and pioneer of sonic worlds.
This deluxe limited edition release, written and produced by Waits and his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan contains 30 new and never before heard recordings, plus rare songs taken from collaborations with artists in film, literature and music—complete with a 94-page handmade booklet of lyrics and rare photos. The set, which took over three years to compile and record, is grouped by genre with songs guaranteed to move and shake the heart, the body, the mind and most unquestionably the soul.
Each of the CD’s are separately arranged and sub-titled – “Brawlers,” “Bawlers” and “Bastards” to encapsulate the full range of Waits’ nomadic scope of musical styles.
Brawlers is packed with full throated juke joint stomp, boogies and riotous blues. It’s roadhouse Waits,..He chugs, whistles and screams. It’s primal steaming surreal blues. He channels the Stones, Beefheart, Muddy Waters and T-Rex. One new one, “Low Down” is raw garage rock with Waits’ 20 year old son, Casey on drums and San Francisco’s white trash blues icon, Ron Hacker, on guitar.
Bawlers – Lonesome ballads about the sadness at the end of the road are framed by tender songs of innocence and green hope. The plaintive hill country laments of, “Tell It To Me” and the cautionary tale, “Fannin Street” blend poignantly with saloon songs of betrayal and despair (“The World Keeps Turning”) Celtic waltzes and bitter cabaret torch songs like, “It’s Over” and “Little Drop Of Poison”, all of which explore what the heart gives and what it takes away.
Bastards – explores the strange and unusual side of Waits, who is peculiar by nature. Contained here is experimental music and scary tales. There are uncategorizable diversions into this dark side. It tunnels beneath the city with spiels, rants, mouth rhythms, including a poignant reminiscence of car ownership, a Ramones cover and a version of Daniel Johnston’s, “King Kong,” a disturbing bedtime story,(not for children faint of heart),and a poem by Charles Bukowski. It has insects, murder, drowning and insanity. Or as ma says, the full dinner menu._

Que maravilla el nuevo disco de Sophia. 3 escuchas y ganando en cada una.
Por otro lado, por fin ha salido el nuevo disco de Mahogany, después de 5 años sin sacar nada ya está aquí su 2º disco, que, tras una escucha, pinta pero que muy bien.
Por cierto, producido por Robin Guthrie. -

Tengo un par de preguntas sobre la descarga del disco de The Shins
1- Por qué, cuando abro el Rapidshare, me sale una casilla que anuncia "pretty girls en Mataró" y todas ellas són (maravillosas) chinas? Se puede pugnar por ellas en el Ebay?
2- Me he intentado bajar el disco y solo se ha descargado una mierda archivo de 1k. Soy muy torpe con todo esto, a ver si alguien me ayuda. -

Respecto a las chinas, vigila que en ebay los gastos de envío van aparte.
-
No puedo creer que haya hecho "right click/save target as..". No puedo creerlo.
Respecto al punto uno. Yo tengo guardado por ahi un magnífico banner que dice "Watch live girls from Mejorada del Campo". De todas maneras, ¿no hay chinas/chinos en Mataró?
-
Pumpkin, si pulpo está en lo cierto, debes hacer click en el link. Pero click con el botón izquierdo y que se te abra una ventana nueva y seguir las instrucciones, no click derecho y guardar la página web.
-
Ahora estoy en el curro y no puedo intentarlo de nuevo, pero en casa tengo el Download Accelerator Plus ese, que en general va de coña y te lo automatiza todo. Yo le he dao al archivo con no se qué boton (van dos y el del medio se cae) y el DAP me ha bajado el archivo ese de 1k.
Pozí pulpo, en mataró hay chinos y chinas a montones. Lo que no sabia es que, a parte de regentar restaurante y tiendas de todo a 100 con fantabulosos objetos decorativos (veo dragones), tambien se dedicaban a posar semidesnudas por esas webs de dios… -
Lo que no hagan los chinos, no lo hace nadie. Ya te lo digo yo.
mmm… suponiendo que has hecho todo el proceso para descargar un archivo de rapidshare (FREE -> reloj de espera -> descargar), se puede achacar a un fallo de la web, a veces pasa. Pero no hace pinta de eso...
-
Vale, Pumpkin, ya sé cuál es el problema. Precisamente, RapidShare es el único sistema de descargas directas que no permite gestores de descarga (como FlashGot, DAP, etc). Tendrás que descargarlo a través del navegador, sin ayuda externa. Hay veces que sin querer le doy a descargar con flashgot y precisamente pasa eso del 1k, lo cual es una putada porque te toca esperar una hora a que te vuelva a dejar acceder.
A todo esto, merece la pena escuchar el ripeo de The Shins o suena como el culo? 38 mb un disco entero no parece alentador.
-
Vale gente, gracias por vuestra ayuda. Ya es casualidad lo de rapidshare y el gestor de descargas. Me apetece bajarme ese disco, a mi solo me gusta lee perry, john zorn y los peos que se tira Mike Patton, pero el chutes too narrow es un peaso disco de pop del copón, todo hay que decirlo.
Puestos a aventurarse y hablar sin conocimiento alguno, tal vez 38mb sean suficientes porque, si Shins siguen la tendencia de sus dos anteriores albumes, el tercero tambien será cortito no? Chutes too narrow era media hora, lo que se traduce a 192k de bitrate por cancion a cerca de 40mb. -
el disco se escucha bien, el sonido no es la bomba pero se puede escuchar perfectamente. la valoracion cuando lo escuche entero, pinta bien por eso…

Has escuchado ya el último de Herman Düne (con dieresis), Stooge?
