en lo referente a la reedición de los primeros álbumes de Jesus and Mary Chain, a mí me deja un poco ni frío ni caliente… en primer lugar porque los videoclips que incluyen los cds ya los sacaron por ahí el '88 o '89 en vhs y de los nuevos que añaden tampoco son temas de su época buena (de hecho cuando vinieron en el '92 a Zeleste ya iban claramente de capacaida)... y tampoco se han currado caras B (que las hay y buenas) de su época '84-'89... suerte que el soulseek hace maravillas...
yo después de más de 15 años aun tengo la espina clavada por haberme vendido como un gilipollas una de las primeras ediciones en CD del Psychocandy (comprada en el Lolita de Perpinyà -¿aun existe?-) donde había 14 temas sin el añadido de "some candy talking" (grandisssssima canción por otro lado) por la edición de 15 temas... lo sé, gilipolleces mías...
si no habeis visto los videoclips estos, son buenisimos... yo creo que marcaron y mucho en todo lo referente a estética after-punk sin querer ser pretensiosos, que fue lo bueno... o eso siempre he creido yo... Jim and William a vuestros pies...
por cierto, alguien ha comentado por aquí no sé qué de Jim Reid y sus Freeheat... yo solo tengo un EP con 4 o 5 temas bastante malos o mas de lo mismo, vaya... se vuelven a poner en activo quizás?
coño! pero si han sacado un disco... let me see...

...y respecto a la biopic de Janis Joplin...la directora Penelope Spheeris parece ser que finalmente se inclinarà por Nikka Costa para hacer de protagonista...y especula que Janis podría haberse suicidado
"Did Janis Joplin Kill herself"
Reports are now saying that tragic rocker Janis Joplin may have killed herself instead of overdosing on heroin.
The 1960's rocker was heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol right up unto her death.
One of Janis's friends and writer of one of her best song's remember her saying "If thing's don't get better for me I'll just kill myself on heroin"
These reports come at a time when Biopic about Janis life (The Gospel according to Janis) is set to start filming this year. The director of the movie Penelope Spheeris is set to be casting singer/songwriter Nikka Costa as Janis in the new movie.
Nikka Costa (born: June 4, 1972)

Johnny Cash
Me acabo de enterar que habrá disco póstumo de Mr. Cash, la quinta parte de la serie "American Recordings":
_
LOS ANGELES, CA – MONDAY, May 1, 2006 -- In the months leading up to his passing on September 12, 2003, JOHNNY CASH had been recording new material with producer Rick Rubin. On July 4, 2006, "American V: A Hundred Highways," the all-new Johnny Cash album taken from those sessions, will be released on the American Recordings label through Lost Highway. It will include the last song Cash ever wrote.The songs that comprise "American V: A Hundred Highways" are as eclectic an assortment as any on the previous albums in the American series: "Help Me," a poignant plea to God, the hauntingly beautiful ballad "If You Could Read My Mind," "God's Gonna Cut You Down," a traditional spiritual, the touching "Love's Been Good To Me," the heartrending "On The Evening Train," and "Further On (Up the Road)" are among the tracks on the new album. Songwriters for the tracks run the gamut from Hank Williams to Rod McKuen to Bruce Springsteen.
In addition, two original Cash compositions are featured, "Like the 309" and "I Came to Believe." "Like the 309" is the last song Cash wrote and, like his first recorded single, 1955's "Hey Porter," is a song that incorporates one of his favorite settings, trains: "Everybody take a look/See I'm doin' fine/Then load my box/On the 309." "I Came to Believe" is a song he wrote and originally recorded earlier in his career, and addresses the pain of addiction and connecting to a higher power.
"I think that 'American V' may be my favorite of all of the albums in the American series," said Rubin. "It's different from the others, it has a much different character. I think that this is as strong an album as Johnny ever made."
The months following the May, 2004 passing of his wife June Carter Cash, were among the most physically and emotionally painful times in Cash's life, but keeping focused on the recording of "American V: A Hundred Highways" proved to be his salvation. Rubin remembers, "Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive, and I think it was the only thing that kept him going, the only thing he had to look forward to."
Cash and Rubin began recording the songs that would find their way onto "American V: A Hundred Highways" in 2002, specifically on the day after they finished "American IV: The Man Comes Around" which was released that November. Johnny feared that "American IV" might be his last release, so Rubin suggested that he immediately begin writing and recording new material. Over the next eight months, songs were cut at Rubin's Los Angeles studio and in Nashville at Johnny's main home and at his fabled cabin located across the road. Due to Cash's frail health, Rubin arranged for an engineer and guitar players to always be on call for the days that Cash felt strong enough to work.
"He always wanted to work," said Rubin. "Every morning when he'd wake up, he would call the engineer and tell him if he was physically up to working that day. Our main concern was to get a great vocal performance. Johnny would record a song, send it to me and I would build a new track up under it. In the past, at the end of this process, he'd come to L.A. And we'd go through everything together, he would re-record any vocal bits that needed re-recording. But this time, we didn't have that opportunity."
Last year, Rubin began going through these final recordings. He admitted, "I kind of dreaded doing it, after Johnny passed, going back and listening to it...it was difficult.
"With all of the albums Johnny and I made together, our goal was for each one to be the best it could possibly be, and that remained the case with 'American V,'" Rick explained. Eventually, Cash's long-time engineer David "Fergie" Ferguson, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell (guitars) and Benmont Tench (keyboards), and Smokey Hormel (guitars), all of whom had worked on previous albums in the American series, along with Matt Sweeney (guitars) and Johnny Polonsky (guitars) went into the studio.
"We felt Johnny's presence during the whole process through to the end," said Rubin. "It felt like he was directing the proceedings, and I know that the musicians all felt that as well. Almost all of the songs were cut solely to Johnny's original vocal tracks, the musicians all keyed off his voice and were playing to him, supporting the emotion of his performance. More than once, Fergie and I would look at each other and say 'Johnny would love this,' because it was so good and so different from anything we'd done before, we knew he would be excited by what was happening."
It was decided to wait to release "American V: A Hundred Highways" until the recent Cash hubbub had run its course. What separates this album from the re-packages, compilations, movie soundtracks and everything else that has surfaced since Johnny's passing is, according to Rubin, "These songs are Johnny's final statement. They are the truest reflection of the music that was central to his life at the time. This is the music that Johnny wanted us to hear."_

Buena noticia lo de Cash. A ver que tal esta ….
-
Pues para mi es una buena noticia. Vale que es sacar dinero del muerto, pero si es un disco en el que estuvo trabajando, temas nuevos y no una enesima grabacion, supongo que Johnny Cash queria que se editara estuviera vivo o muerto. Si tiene la calida de los anteriores American Recordings seguro que lo disfruto un monton.

A mi lo unico que me da miedo es que se haya manoseado su obra. No seria la primera vez que se fuerza la obra de un artista difunto para extraer canciones.

En mayo sale a la calle el nuevo disco de Woven Hand, 'Mosaic'. Pascal Humbert, bajo de 16 Horsepower, se incorpora al proyecto, así que ya tenemos dos tercios juntos de nuevo. Es decir, 2/3 de 16 = 10,666… Horsepower.

Supongo que este ya lo tienes controlado korkobate innovate, pero no está de más volver a recomendar uno de los discos de 2006.

Pues va a ser que no, Mr. Cimbrel. Por internet sólo conseguí bajarme una canción ("Don't Love The Liar"), que te hace cogerle unas ganas al disco tremendas. Como lo recomiendas con énfasis, y como la cosa siga así, cuando vaya a la capital me lo compro.
