  • Chibis (Part II)

    15 Jul 2009, 20:15 by Warsie

    Ya hice unos dibujillos de David Sylvian y Diamanda Galás en otra entrada del blog, y ahora tocan más!! ^^

    Esta vez, el turno es para Adam Ant, Siouxsie, John Foxx y David Bowie






    ________________________________________________

    Más de mis artistas favoritos. Esta vez sólo voy a comentar mi disco favorito de cada uno de ellos y un par de canciones.

    De Adam and the Ants ya recomendé en otro post los discos que me gustaban, así que no voy a repetirme XD

    De Siouxsie and the Banshees, la verdad es que me encanta Kaleidoscope, tiene las que yo creo que son sus mejores canciones como PlayHappy House o PlayChristine, aunque mi favorita es PlayIsrael, una canción a la que estuve enganchadísima hace unos años y que no está en ninguno de sus discos (recopilatorios aparte XD) La verdad es que no sé muy bien de qué va la letra, pero la canción en sí es una pasada: el bajo suena genial y es casi el que lleva el ritmo de toda la canción, los sintetizadores dan la nota de color y la voz de Siouxsie que a veces parece que está aullando (sobre todo con los ohhhhh) crea una atmosfera increíble!!!



    De John Foxx, recomendar un disco es difícil, por que ha tenido varias 'etapas' que abarcan desde electro hasta pop, ambient, y un sinfín de estilos que eso sí, tienen en común que todos se basan en la electrónica. Si me tuviera que quedar con uno, creo que sería con Metamatic. Adoro este disco, suena tan frío, tan extraño, tan absolutamente artificial que me encanta!! Hasta la voz de John es fría y suena igual de sintética!!

    Como canciones favoritas ya tengo más dudas, pero una de ellas sería PlayBurning Car, que son los 3 minutos más perfectos de pop electrónico que he oído en mi vida!! ^^ Otra canción sería The Garden, que no tiene mucho que ver con el sonido de Metamatic, y que es tranquila, cálida y con un desarrollo instrumental precioso. Y ya por último, elegiría A Room As Big As A City, de uno de sus últimos álbumes.



    Y si de Foxx era difícil elegir por su enorme discografía, de Bowie ya no os cuento XD Me gustan casi todos sus discos, pero uno es más especial para mí que los demás, fue de los primeros discos que me compré en vinilo y le tengo un cariño especial: es el Aladdin Sane. Que por cierto trae un poster que pa que os cuento XDDDDD

    Y como canciones favoritas dificilísimo!!! Por que me gustan varias etapas del duque blanco, pero hay que elegir tres... PlayThis Is Not America es una de ellas, es genial, supongo que muy poca gente la pondría la primera pero para mí es una obra maestra! Otra es la preciosa PlayAshes to Ashes, me encantan los fondos. Y la que queda, PlayAladdin Sane, es una pasada, parece de otra época, y el pieano que suena es genial!




    Ale, para otro día más XD Ya tengo a medias un par de ellos pero no digo de quién que son sorpresa!!!! XD

  • Adam Ant

    2 Jul 2009, 21:54 by Warsie

    Jo, hoy me he pasado la tarde aburrida hasta niveles de susto... >___<

    Así que me ha dado por dibujar a uno de mis artistas favoritos ^^ La verdad es que luce dibujarle, por que con ponerle la ropita de superhéroe que lleva y los maquillajes tribales a lo indio, ya se sabe que es Adam Ant, pero bueno... XD

    Pues ahí va el dibujillo, boceto en mi línea (osea como siempre) y con las letras del nombre (debo dejar de copiar a Kubo Tite ya!! XDD)


    Para verla más grande pincha aquí!

    Y ya de paso os recomiendo escuchar este grupazo, Adam and the Ants. Sólo llegaron a publicar tres discos, pero qué discos...

    Para mí los dos mejores son Kings of the Wild Frontier



    y Prince Charming




    De canciones, os recomiendo PlayDog Eat Dog, que es mi favorita, y PlayPrince Charming, cuyo vídeo TENEIS que ver por que es muy ochentero y muy ósom!! XDD


    La verdad es que no entiendo muy bien por qué en su época Adam tuvo tanto éxito... Supongo que sería por las pintas, por que su música aunque me encanta, es rara, rara y poco comercial. Pero merece la pena escucharle ^^

  • Desert Island Discs

    26 Jun 2009, 22:01 by idcrisis

    (Should have posted this here sooner)

    At work, we’ve been doing Desert Island Discs and this week is my turn. I’ll be buggered if I’m writing all this lot up and not turning it into a blog post.

    I win. No seriously, I win this game because I have had a theme tune written for me. Well, technically it was written for my blog, oh okay, it was inspired by the name of my blog. What? This isn’t a contest and I can’t win? Oh. Sorry.


    According to my mother my first musical experience was dancing (or being danced, as I was baby at the time) round the room to T Rex. Was I too young to be influenced by this? Or did it somehow generate an interest in dinosaurs rather than glam rock? Lucky escape.


    Adam and the Ants– PlayStand and Deliver
    I was torn between a classic Ants track or something from his later albums. In the end memories of Saturday morning’s spent watching this video on Multi-Coloured Swap Shop won the day (but if you’ve only heard his old material check out the 1995 album “Wonderful”).


    Drill Queen – Born Depressed
    Justin is an information architect with whom I worked on several projects; he also played guitar for Drill Queen.


    Traveling Wilburys – PlayTweeter and the Monkey Man
    Just about the only bits of vinyl from my dad’s music collection that I copied to tape, and one of the few bands that Lettice and I both love. It looks like the record label have been at YouTube so we’re lucky to find this animation:
    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cb4t_tweeter-and-the-monkey-man_creation

    Moxy Früvous - My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors
    Moxy Früvous were a cool, funny, somewhat cheesey Canadian band who I was introduced to via two friends at university. If you saw the groaning bookshelves in our flat you’d know why this song always makes me smile.


    Cerys Matthews – Oxygen
    I can’t sing. I really can’t sing. Neither can my brother, though as churchgoer he makes up with gusto for what he lacks in aptitude. Clearly we got our singing genes from the English or Swedish parts of our family not the Welsh.


    Pulp – PlayMis-Shapes
    The end of the summer of 1995. On the news it’s Blur vs Oasis. But, before Blair, there was a much better third way.


    Aziza Mustafa Zadeh – Ay Dilber
    Stiff Little Fingers – PlayTin Soldiers

    Hands up who wanted (or even expected) to hear some Azerbaijani Jazz today? Well, you’re out of luck as I can’t find it anywhere on the web. So have some classic punk instead.


    Tanita Tikaram – And I Think Of You
    The reason I’m here. Sort of. I created my first home page in 1995 (personal home pages, remember them? Like Facebook profiles but you had to do all the work yourself) and wanted to do a bit more. So looking around the nascent web for the various artists I liked I spotted that Tanita didn’t have any fan pages dedicated to her. The resulting site helped to get me my first job at a web design agency.


    Book
    Assuming I’m going to be here for a while then I want something fairly long. An old favourite or something I’ve never gotten around to? I think I’ll go for the latter and take Peter Ackroyd’s London: The Biography to remind myself of home.

    Luxury Item
    A brewing kit. Let’s see which of the fruit on the island makes the best booze.
