Santigold tiny desktop concert

Hi there,

It’s been a while since I last posted something here. Nearly two years… Well actually, I am quite occupied right now, and while having time to listen to good music, I haven’t shared with you those listenings.

Today, I’m gonna talk about Santigold, who is an artist that i like very much. I was listening a lot to her when her first album Santogold (her former artist name) came out. But I had lost what she was doing after that.

Recently i fell on a youtube video of her performance at tiny desktop concert, which was really nice. I like a lot the concept of those concerts, a tiny band performing softly with a not so big audience. It’s often warm and the artists seem to feel great.

Well, that’s it, hope you will enjoy it!

Your name is tatooed on every boy’s skin

You say that you’re stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bedsheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?

You’re the train that crashed my heart
You’re the glitter in the dark
Ooh Laura, you’re more than a superstar

You’ll be famous for longer than them
Your name is tattooed on every boy’s skin
Ooh Laura, you’re more than a superstar

Such a deep and touching voice!!!

just this quote of this magnific song ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 

Enjoy and have a lovely day

4th of July

Hallo meine freunds!

I don’t know what you guys were doing of the 4th of july in 1997, but one thing is sure you (and me) should have come to Les eurockéennes in Belfort. 

Why?

The response is right down here.

By chance, I was lucky enough to see a bit of this performance live on TV a few months (or year i don’t really remember) after it was filmed. I remember seeing fake plastic trees, and fell quite confused. One thing that is also astonishing is the fact that when one member doesn’t play, he just sit there waiting and enjoying seeing the others guys playing (Ed, you know what i mean? 😉 ).

That’s not the point but a few time before discovering Radiohead, i discovered Jeff Buckley (too late as probably most of his fans). I read somewhere that Fake plastic trees was written by Thom Yorke the night following him seeing Jeff Buckley in a gig. That’s not the point but truely I can not hear fake plastic trees without having a quick thought about the Grace’s singer.

But I Can’t Help The Feeling

I Could Blow Through The Ceiling,

If I Just Turn And Run

And It Wears Me Out

If i could be who you wanted all the time…

if i ever lose my faith

Hi all!

Hope everybody’s ok after the lockdown (or durint it since some countries have decided to relock some towns…), here everything’s all right. i’m currently enjoying a sleepless night (it’s 2AM there), so i was browsing youtube. Truely not the best idea if you wannna fall asleep but nevermind… or osef as we said in french!

While listening to some tunes, i found this gem from pomplamoose. I thought have told you about this band previously but it’s seems not, i havent found one post about it tonite.

Well, en résumé, i like this band, not everything, but lots of things they do. They are always giving the song they perform a real inspiration and authenticity, either it’s a cover or not. Furthermore, i like the voice of the singer very much. And they did some great mashup that i encourage you to have a look at.

At last, i’m putting the clip of the cover of a Sting song “if i ever lose my faith in you” they performed recently. Hope you guys will enjoy it.

Dont forget to shout something in the comment, i don’t know whether anybodiy still reading the posts i put here. I will greatly appreciate to have some feedbacks!

Lockdown playlist

Hi fellas,

I hope you guys all going well!

During this lock-down, while home working, i listened to a lot of YouTube lives. It’s the good part of being home 😉

I’ve seen quite a lot of good stuff, so today, i wanted to share some of them with you. It’s quite eclectic, not really an “ensemble”, but i think both of them could be seen easily without being disturbed, which is not all the time my case, since i’m home with my two kids!!!

First of all, Radiohead put every week one of their concert from their archive. This week is a concert from Lolapalooza, Berlin, from 2016. Not the latest, nor the best, but representative of what can be this huge (the hugest?) band live. This tour was performed with 2 drummers. I’ve seen them in this configuration which is non classical… it’s interesting even if i think Phil can do the job alone!

This is it :

 

Then one of the stuff i watched recently was the Oasis gig on Manchester in 2005. This live is huge, as was Oasis at this time. It’s quite funny to see, Liam as the wanker he is, with his “bob” (it’s the french word, i don’t know the English one for that).

it’s a beautiful day

Hello buddies,

Today is gonna be the day that i want to see a beautiful day, backbeat, the lovers on the street…

lets start this day with one of the most beautiful Belgian Pop song ever made. Love ya the wallons, and the flamands too 😉

I wish I was mad
Fucked up and done
I wish I was bad
And completely wrong
I wish I was made
Rebuilt-up and fake
I wish I could lie
And never could fail
And live some beautiful days
In a magical place
Beautiful loves
Perfect and straight
Beautiful days
In a magical place
A new dream is born
The new freaks have come
I wish I was fast
And crazy as a dog

I wish I could last
As long as the gods
I wish I could be
Perfectly free
Wish I was a creep
Wish I made you bleed
And live some beautiful days
In a magical place
Beautiful loves
Perfect and straight
Beautiful days
In a magical place
A new dream is born
The new freaks have come
Beautiful days
In a magical place
Beautiful loves
Perfect and straight
Beautiful days?

Xxx

Hello music lovers,

You’re a music lover ain’t you? If no, why the hell are you reading this?

Well, let’s start this post with a more traditional way. How you guys doing it?

Today, I wanted to share with you a video of Marcus Miller.

Some jazzy Arabic song, a must listen, even if you’re not playing bass.

Enjoy

Hello buddies,

How do you do today? Personally, quite well. I watched the dancing show of my daughter yesterday, which was amusing. Looking to girls (and one boy!) of 6-8 years old dancing on despacito and on a song of Bruno Mars was quite funny. Some of them were very good!

But it’s not the subject. It’s festival time this summer. I’m not gonna go to any this year (poor me) but fortunately there is a bit of them that are available on videos platforms. I saw some cool stuff on them. Liam Gallagher doing a song of Oasis while standing still as usual was good. And if you don’t know any song of the French band UltraVomit, I’m recommending you to watch the video here at Hellfest 2019. This French band is doing “funny metal”. Nevertheless they are incredibly really good musicians 😎

By the way, if you come to France and you want to see metal concerts I strongly encourage you to go to the Hellfest !

But it’s not the point. Recently, I used to watch what was happening at Glastonbury (so now you understand my title!). I saw really great things. Such as The Cure who are still one of my favorite band… I will talk about them in a future post. At last, I just found this live performance of the Foals. These guys are great. I love the voice of the singer, and really appreciate the energy they’re able to put on their songs. This energy is audible even on their records. Well in one word I like them. Make me know if you agree with me!

Cheers
