"Bright Red"

De mi colección de discos “Bright Red” es uno de los mas queridos y no por ser edición especial o alguna patraña similar, sino por la música y las letras. Laurie Anderson es una artista que sin mas esta adelantada a su época y no tiene miedo de expresar su forma de pensar... las letras de sus discos van de historias familiares, fábulas, sueños o cualquier cosa que le venga en mente y las transforma en canciones ... poeta, performancera, músico... todo amalgamado en una sola persona que sin duda a inspirado a muchos músicos, aunque estos no lo quieran aceptar... en este disco de 1994 tiene de músicos invitados a Lou Reed, Adrián Below, Cyro Baptista, Joey Baron entre otros... y esta producido por Brian Eno... si no conoces el trabajo de esta dama... este es un disco que te puede acercar a su trabajo y se puede decir que es de los mas melódicos... sin mas un disco que no debe faltar para los fans del al avant-garde. Los dejo con un video de su primer album llamado "Big Science" de 1982.



From my disc collection “Bright Red” is one of the most beloved and not because is an especial edition or some dull reason, the true reason is the lyrics and music. Lauire Anderson is an artist that is advance to her time and has no fear to state her way of thinking… the lyrics in her albums goes from family stories, tales, dreams or anything that cross her mind and then she turn them into song… poet, performer, musician… all together in one single individual that whit no doubt has inspired to many musicians… in this album from 1994 her invited musician are Lou Reed, Adrian Below, Cyro Baptista, Joey Baron among others… if you don’t know Laurie’s work this album is the right for you to begin the journey and if you like avant-garde this album is a must have in your collection… this is a video from her album debut “Big Science” from 1982.

Night in Baghdad

And oh it’s son beautiful
It’s like the fourth of July
It’s like a Christmas tree
It’s like fireflies on a summer night.

And I wish I could
Describe this to you better
But I can’t talk very well right now
Cause I’ve got this damned gas mask on.
So I’m just going to stick this microphone
Out the window and see if we can hear
A little better. Hello California?
What’s the weather like out there now?

And I only have one question:
Did you ever really love me?
Only when we dance
And it was so beautiful
It’s like the fourth of July
It’s like fireflies on a summer night

What are you here for?
We all are here to go
We all are here to go
We all are here to go

That’s what all we are here for
This is going to be a space station
And we all are here to go into the space
That’s what all we are here for

Are there any question about that
Are there any question about that preposition
That what are all here to go
That we are here to go into space

What are you and you and you anyone of you
What did you come here, what do you expect to learn
What did you expect from me
Come on tell me I’m here

"Snakes and Arrows Tour"

Una vez mas Rush esta de tour. Esta vez promocionando su ultimo disco Snakes & Arrows (que a mi gusto es uno de sus mejores discos) y tuve la oportunidad de verlos en el Sleep Train Amphitheatre de Sacramento, y aunque este tour no me pareció tan impresionante como el del Vapor Trail que vi en la ciudad de México, aun asi la musica es igual de buena o mas ya que escuche todo lo que deseaba de esta agrupación. ... no recuerdo el set list completo o en orden pero abren con: Lime light, del Snakes and Arrows tocan: Far Cry, Armor and Sword, Working the Angels, The Larger Bowl, Spindrift, The main monkey business, The way the wind blows, Hope, Faitheless, Bravest Face y Malignant Narcissism como pueden ver casi todo el disco y pues si escuche las que queria... otras de otros discos fueron: Digital Man, Mission, Free Will, Cirucumstances, Dreamline, Subdivisions, Natural Science, Drum Solo, Summer Time Blues, The Spirit of Radio... del encore empiezan con Tom Sawyer... pero con un video de South Park donde los personajes de esta serie tienen su banda tributo de Rush, Little Rush y el Cartman le cambia la letra a Tom Sawyer... jajaja esta cagado y pues ya tocan Tom Sawyer, One Little Victory, A pasaje to Bankok y YYZ... aaah tocaron todo lo que pude haber deseado sin duda un gran show... si van a México no dejen de verlo.


Once again Rush is on the road. This time promoting their album Snakes & Arrows. I had the chance to see them last Saturday at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre at Sacramento. I have to said that this tour seems to be not as impressive like the one that they did at the Vapor Trail Tour as I remember, anyways the music is what it counts and they always give a great show. I don’t remember exactly the set list but this a pretty good idea of what it was. They open whit Lime light, from Snakes and Arrows they play: Far Cry, Armor and Sword, Working the Angels, The Larger Bowl, Spindrift, The main monkey business, The way the wind blows, Hope, Faitheless, Bravest Face y Malignant Narcissism as you see is almost the whole album... from others albums: Digital Man, Mission, Free Will, Circumstances, Dreamline, Subdivisions, Natural Science, Drum Solo, Summer Time Blues, The Spirit of Radio... as encore they began whit Tom Sawyer... but preview a short carton where the characters form South Park play the past of Rush as Little Rush and Cartman changes the lyrics to Tom Sawyer... jajaja that’s really fun. Tom Sawyer, One Little Victory, A pasaje to Bankok y YYZ… is the whole encore. They played everything I expected to hear. If they go to your city is a must go show.

"Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack"

Una vez que hayas visto la serie o la movie... te darás cuenta que el soundtrack es increíble no por nada tienen el alias de Bebop... el CD trae 17 rolas...cada una de ellas igual de buenas una que otra... la mayoría son rolas de Jazz con toda la Big Band completa aunque también hay uno que otro blues y algo electrónico. La banda que ejecuta estos temas son The Seatbelts y la neta es uno de los mejores soundtrack que he escuchado en años.


Once you saw the movie or the series... you will notice that the soundtrack is terrific. It blow my mind… not for nothing they are Bebop… the cd has 17 tracks, each one of them is great… most of the music is jazz, but there are blues and electronic track also… the band that perform are the Seatbelts… and to be honest this soundtrack is one of the best I had heard on years… get it
