That doesn't mean that the album isn't arty, since it certainly is, but that's part of its power -- the self-conscious detachment enhances the postmodern sense of emotional isolation, obsession with form over content, and love of modernity for its own sake. That's why</span> </span><a class="dlink" href="http://www.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,105181,00.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:arial;">Dare!</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#ffcc33;"> <span style="color:#ffff00;">struck a chord with listeners who didn't like synth pop or the new romantics in 1981, and why it still sounds startlingly original decades after its original release -- the technology may have dated, synths and drum machines may have become more advanced, but few have manipulated technology in such an emotionally effective way. Of course, that all wouldn't matter if the songs themselves didn't work smashingly, whether it's a mood piece as eerie as "Seconds," an antianthem like "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of," the danceclub glow of "Love Action (I Believe in Love)," or the utter genius of "Don't You Want Me," a devastating chronicle of a frayed romance wrapped in the greatest pop hooks and production of its year. The latter was a huge hit, so much so that it overshadowed the album in the minds of most listeners, yet, for all of its shining brilliance, it wasn't a pop supernova -- it's simply the brightest star on this record, one of the defining records of its time</span>.</span> ~</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">[Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide]</span> <span style="color:#000000;"><br />

<span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color:#6666cc;">The most impressive thing about the Human League's output isn't that the band went from avant pop to Top 40 in three albums, but that its best singles hold up despite all the hokey electronics. Between Travelogue and Dare two unexpected developments dramatically changed the Human League's sound. One was the departure of Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh, the band's original synth wizards; the other was the introduction of the Linn drum, a computerized drum machine that used digitally sampled drum sounds instead of synthesized equiv-alents. Original singer</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Oakey" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Phil Oakey</span></a> <span style="color:#6666cc;">recruited a new lineup, including ex-Rezillo Jo Callis plus singers Jo-anne Catherall and Susanne Sulley (whom Oakey claimed to have met at a disco), and delivered the first true synth-pop album. In truth, the most radical thing about Dare was its instrumentation, since the songs -- particularly "Love Action (I Believe in Love)" and the marvelously melodramatic "Don't You Want Me" -- were fairly conventional pop numbers. But in 1981, drum machines and sequencers were novelty enough, and helped make Dare an international smash.</span></span> [Source:2004's The New Rolling Stone Album Guide]</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El otro día, viendo a lo que queda de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranglers">The Stranglers</a> en el Summercase y oyendo su canción <em>Peaches</em>, me di cuenta de lo que me recordaba a otro grupo que también me gusta un rato. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_Against_Boys">Girls Against Boys</a> son de Washington DC y se lo hicieron en los 90 bastante buenamente (y siguen dándole: hace poco tocaron en el <a href="http://www.gruta77.com/">Gruta 77</a>). Su disco <em>Cruise Yourself</em> es uno de mis (muchísmos) preferidos de entonces y <em>Kill the Sex Player</em>, la canción, sale en la banda sonora de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerks"><em>Clerks</em></a>, otro icono de esa década. El caso es que en aquel momento pensé que podría encontrar más grupos o canciones que me sonaran a otros grupos o canciones y armar una serie con eso. No se trata de que sean iguales ni de denunciar plagios ni nada por el estilo. Es de buen rollo. Simplemente me recuerdan unos a otros y me gusta.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/jag62pY_lHo'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/jag62pY_lHo&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/rcqkTOVbdPw'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/rcqkTOVbdPw&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Obviamente, los dos grupos tienen un bajo que domina la cosa (bueno, Girls vs Boys tiene dos bajos). Pero hay algo más: suenan macarras, sudorosos y sexys. Tienen clase y hasta pinta de ser el mismo tipo de tipos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Todo lo bueno acaba pareciendo breve, y el <a href="http://www.summercase.com/" target="_blank">Summercase </a>de este año lo fue. Un<span>  </span>buen cartel y pocas decepciones. Si a esto le sumas una buena compañía, el plan es perfecto.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://borjaalami.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/mogwai_barcelona_08.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-218" src="http://borjaalami.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/mogwai_barcelona_08.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="333" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A destacar:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.theraveonettes.com/" target="_blank">The Raveonettes</a></strong>: estuvieron soberbios. Sonaron contundentes y nítidos, incluso con sus temas más sucios. Y además eligieron el mejor repertorio que podía soñar de ellos. Sin duda alguna el concierto con el que más disfruté de todo el festival.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.grinderman.com" target="_blank">Grinderman</a></strong>: Sin palabras.  Nick Cave esta en plena forma. Un 10 para él y su mini banda salvaje.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.kingsofleon.com" target="_blank">Kings Of Leon</a></strong>: Se salieron. Junto a Grinderman fueron los que mejor sonaron en el escenario Movistar. No les pasó lo mismo a <a href="http://www.interpolnyc.com" target="_blank">Interpol </a>ni a <a href="http://www.primalscream.org" target="_blank">Primal Scream</a>, cuyo volumen dejaba mucho que desear (sobre todo en el caso de los primeros, que llego a ser alarmante).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.thejuanmaclean.com" target="_blank">The Juan Maclean</a></strong>: Si el año anterior <a href="http://www.gossipyouth.co.uk" target="_blank">The Gossip</a> fueron, para mi, la gran sorpresa y descubrimiento del festival, este año lo ha sido esta banda compuesta por miembros de LCD y !!!.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.mogwai.co.uk" target="_blank">Mogwai</a></strong>: Sonaron brutales. Es de esas bandas con las que se disfruta mil veces más en directo que escuchando sus discos en casa. Los escoceses fueron de lo mejorcito del festival. Lastima que hacia el final del concierto, el sonido que provenía del escenario donde tocaban los Sex Pistols (putos punkis de corte ingles) se solapara con los momentos más intimistas de Mogwai.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.myspace.com/hellowhitey" target="_blank">Whitey</a></strong>: Tengo que reconocer que esperaba más de su concierto. Creo que no acertaron demasiado con el repertorio y además tuvieron algún que otro problemilla con el sonido. Pero aun así, me hicieron vibrar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.ianbrown.co.uk" target="_blank">Ian Brown</a></strong>: No me dijo nada... hasta que comenzó a recuperar temas de los Stone Roses; entonces lo comenzamos a pasar bien. Verdaderamente bien, "I am the resurrection".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.2manydjs.org" target="_blank">2ManyDjs</a></strong>: Están muy lejos de volver a ser esos gamberros que nos hicieron disfrutar tanto a mi y mis amigos hará 5 Primaveras, mezclando tanto electrónica, como rock, con un sexto sentido para acertar en cada momento con el tama adecuado... nada de paja. Y aunque siguen haciendote saltar, ojalá algún día vuelvan a ser los de antes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.edwyncollins.com" target="_blank">Edwin Collins</a></strong>: ¿Que le ha pasado a este hombre? Según me dijo mi buen amigo <a href="http://danielgon.blogspot.es">Zaragoza</a>, sufre una paralisis en medio cuerpo... Esperaba mucho de su concierto, pero era como pedirle a Marichalar que hiciera de Elvis, menos mal que iba arropado con una pedazo banda. Lo mejor, como no, "A girl like you", que el cabrón se guardó hasta el final.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.myspace.com/etiennedecrecy" target="_blank">Etienne de Crécy</a></strong>: Electrónica con mucha clase y la mejor puesta en escena de todo el festival, una especie de Cubo de Rubik gigante y  transparente sobre el que se proyectaban diversas animaciones de neón y él, desde el centro del cubo, haciendo vibrar al personal . Muy potente.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.stranglers.net" target="_blank">The Stranglers</a></strong>: A algunos rockeros puretas se les tendría que prohibir dar según que saltitos, o hacer según que patadas voladoras, porque tirán por el suelo toda su dignidad y encima nos hacen pasar al resto verguenza ajena. De todas maneras estos ingleses se ganaron mi corazon con joyas como "Always the sun" o "Golden Brown" y alguna que otra versión de los Kinks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.blondie.net" target="_blank">Blondie</a></strong>: Demasiada gente, aunque lo poco que vi y oí (en la distancia) tenía buena pinta, bombardeo de hits y público entregado. Y hablando de distancias ¿como se le ocurre a la organización colocar unas pantallas tan ridículas? a cierta distancia no servían para nada y encima, si hacía un poco de viento, estas se levantaban cual sabana tendida por dos pinzas. Lamentable.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.wearefoals.com" target="_blank">Foals</a></strong>: Otro descubrimiento agradable, lo que vi me gusto bastante. No los conocía.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.csshurts.com" target="_blank">CSS</a></strong>: No defraudaron, y nos hicieron bailar como buenos brasileños que son.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href="http://www.shoutoutlouds.com" target="_blank">Shout Out Louds</a></strong>: La mejor manera de comenzar el sabado. Sentaditos en las gradas del escenario Converse y con el mar de fondo, fueron el mejor remedio para la resaca del viernes. Otro descubrimiento.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.myspace.com/antoniafont" target="_blank">Antònia Font</a></strong>: El único punto negro del festival, y no por ellos, las sabanas se me pegaron y me los perdí! Putada.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After watching the YouTube <a href="http://injera.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/john-mccain-called-his-wife-the-worst-word-there-is/">"John McCain called his wife..."</a> clip, the snippet from the musical was stuck in my head for two days.  It just could not be dislodged.  I knew it would just be a matter of substituting another catchy tune, but this does not happen on demand.  I was so desperate to rid myself of the niggling number that I brought out the heavy artillary.  Yes, I deliberately attempted a <em><a href="http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/frank+sinatra/girl+from+ipanema_20055905.html">Girl from Ipanema</a> </em>substitution.  Desperate?  Yes.  Foolhardy?  Most probably.  Successful?  Surprisingly not.  After all, this is the song that came with me for over two years while I was drudging through mindless temp jobs.  On one occasion, I was placed back at an office I'd been at 18 months previously.  One of the guys I'd worked with on the first assignment greeted me with "Oh, great, I'd only just got that annoying song out of my mind".</p>
<p>On Friday night I watched <em>This is Spinal Tap</em> for the first time in ages.  (OK, for the first time in months.)  The good news was that I no longer had the McCain song in my head.  The bad news - I was stuck with <em><a href="http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Sex-Farm-lyrics-Spinal-Tap/5AA79A4E20ADE7E348256DCE002F4806">Sex Farm</a></em>.  Thanks, Tap.</p>
<p>Am I still at risk of blurting out "Getting out my pitch fork/Poking your hay" whilst in the queue at IGA?  No, thanks to the electronics department at Myer and a shopper wanting the iPod speakers demonstrated.  At first, I was thrilled to hear<em> The Stranglers' </em>song <em>Golden Brown</em> in such an unlikely setting.  As I walked away, I found myself humming it.  On the tram, I was tapping out the strange rhythm.  It stuck in my head and just won't be shifted.  Am I happy?  Sort of.  Unfortunately, I can't help mis-hearing the lyrics in my head.  My internal soundtrack is, disconcertingly, <a href="http://www.lyricsdownload.com/stranglers-golden-brown-lyrics.html">"Gordon Brown texture like sun..."</a>.  Creepy.</p>

<p><strong>The Stranglers</strong> é uma banda [ainda na ativa] precursora do punk que enveredou do já dito à gostosa new wave, no fundo música pop altamente recomendável! Aqui indico a baladinha super <em>Strange Little Girl</em>, que foi regravada recentemente pela diva alternativa <em>Tori Amos</em>. Destaque aos charmosos vocais do Hugh Cornwell[ele era gato tbm, vide video abaixo... .D]</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night I watched <em>He Died with a Falafel in His Hand</em>. If you haven't seen it, you must. It centers around an Australian bloke who has made his way through 49 shared housing situations in a very short period of time. The most recent -- and the film's setting -- 47-49, strung together with vignettes. Plot aside, the soundtrack is fabulous, and this post is an homage to the film's opening track, "Golden Brown," by The Stranglers. I hope you enjoy the video.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Por MARIO GIL (SOITU.ES), </strong><strong>28-04-2008</strong></p>
<div class="contenedortextonoticia">
<p style="text-align:justify;">El esfuerzo a la hora de componer un repertorio para hacer un disco es un  esfuerzo enorme. Me centraré en la parte técnica y musical. Como compositor  quieres que tus canciones suenen lo mejor posible. Te esfuerzas en conseguir  "cerrar" fechas en tu estudio preferido, el que mejor reputación ha adquirido en  los últimos años. No quieres escatimar en usar las mejores técnicas, así que  alquilas los servicios del mejor ingeniero, de los mejores procesadores de  audio, de la mejor microfonía y de los mejores músicos. Todo ese esfuerzo se ve  diezmado cuando ves que tu obra musical no deja de sonar en los reproductores de  audio más usados del momento: ¡el teléfono móvil ! Te presento aquí cuatro  propuestas que suenan de vicio en cualquier lugar.</p>
<h2>Pequeño Pecker - Diez Y 1 Galaxia (Dro/EastWest)</h2>
<div class="izquierda">
<div class="cajaintercalada">
<div class="foto" style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;border:0;margin:5px 10px;" src="http://www.soitu.es/soitu/imagenes/2008/04/28/tendencias/1209396862_748489_fotosumario1_normal_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Este disco tiene casi cuatro años de antigüedad. Para el pop consumible que  nos toca vivir es mucho tiempo, pero cada vez que lo escucho se me para el  tiempo. Es y será un disco atemporal, algunos lo llaman clásico. Raúl Usieto,  Pequeño Pecker o Pecker a secas que es como quiere que le llamemos, ha plasmado  en esta pieza digital un buen número de vivencias propias que vuelven a  refrescar el panorama musical del momento. <strong>Se rodea de sonidos  sintéticos sin dejar de lado sus guitarras, sus perfectas armonías y una  producción musical limpia</strong>. Tiene un toque soñador que sólo los grandes  como los Ferreiro, los Vega, usan con toda naturalidad y que otros tratan de  imitar con esfuerzos sobrehumanos. Libera tu percepción de toda presión  cotidiana y disfruta de algo grande y tierno a la vez.</div>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Recomendado para gente que escuche a:</strong> Los Piratas, Marc  Parrot, Luis Eduardo Aute, Rufus Wainwright.</p>
<h2>Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish (Food/SBK)</h2>
<div class="izquierda">
<div class="cajaintercalada">
<div class="foto" style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;border:0;margin:5px 10px;" src="http://www.soitu.es/soitu/imagenes/2008/04/28/tendencias/1209396862_748489_fotosumario2_normal_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Todavía estaban lejos de cualquier rivalidad mediática con sus eternos  enemigos, los Oasis. Centraron todos sus esfuerzos en aprender de sus  predecesores, sus ídolos o maestros. Es una auténtica gozada descifrar en cada  tema las influencias musicales, saber a quien han querido a su manera rendir su  pequeño homenaje. Recuerdo reunirme con amigos para diseccionar tema por tema y  poder adivinar a quien han querido homenajear. Con la perspectiva del tiempo  este disco mejora considerablemente. Analizando la trayectoria musical de la  banda el 'Life Is Rubbish' es el disco más homogéneo, más concreto.  <strong>Sabían a donde que querían llegar al hacerlo mientras que con sus  entregas siguientes sus miras son más confusas</strong>. En cualquier caso les  avalan sus rotundos éxitos tanto con Blur como en sus distintos proyectos.</div>

<div class="piedefoto">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Es la última entrega de una larga carrera discográfica de esta banda del sur  de Inglaterra. Fueron tachados de punks por los amantes del pub rock británico,  y criticados por su virtuosismo por las hordas punks. Se movían en tierra de  nadie y tuvieron que forjar un sonido inconfundible. Tras la marcha de su líder  y cantante no terminaron de asentarse, y recibir un merecido respeto por parte  de la prensa. Pero la incorporación de su nueva voz (Baz Warne), gran parte de  sus fans aseguran por unanimidad que les ha inyectado una gran dosis de  vitalidad y adrenalina. Eso se puede oír en este disco. Han rejuvenecido  musicalmente hablando, y recuperan ese carisma vocal que dejó para la posteridad  Hugh Cornwell. Me considero fan del teclista Dave Greenfield, gracias a él he  aprendido que el punk no está reñido con ser teclista.</p>

Menos mal que fueron dejando pequeños legados sintéticos de  gran octanaje para olvidarnos de ese pequeño desliz estilísitico (¡malditos  managers!). El año pasado nos volvieron a sorprender con un discazo de pop  sintético al 100%. De ellos siempre destaco la forma peculiar que tienen de  entender la música tecnológica. Dejan de lado los patrones establecidos por los  compositores consagrados del otro lado del charco para interpretar sus temas a  la <strong>american way of life. Con coros muy soul, y arreglos con tendencias  swing o de big band</strong>. El resultado es curioso y sobretodo muy original.  Haz un hueco a tu apretada agenda para oírlos, los tendrás de disco de  cabecera!!</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/aZb5NMpdSUU'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/aZb5NMpdSUU&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Tu ne comprenais pas toujours pourquoi, mais tu avais le don de respecter la différence.  Ton parcours, ton enfance, ta vie adulte, ta vie professionnelle ont fait que tu contemplais la vie autrement.  Tu ne supportais pas les idées préconçues et encore moins celles qui creusaient des fossés entre les humains.  Tu avais l'âme bohème, celle d'un artiste et ton flair pour l'innovation était sans pareil.  Il y a ce rêve que je fais souvent.  Je vais à ta rencontre dans la ville ocre.  Il y a le vieux pont avant Marrakesh.  Je tente de le traverser, mais il y a une immense lézarde au milieu.  Je décide d'emprunter le ravin.  Le lit de la rivière est presque sec et lorsque je l'approche, l'eau arrive en trombe.  Je m'en fous, je garde mes beaux escarpins plats et décide que je dois absolument atteindre l'autre rive.  Ton sourire me guide et je ne dois pas manquer notre rendez-vous.  J'ai quinze ans et tu m'as promis que les jaracondas seraient en fleurs.  Je réussis à rejoindre la rive et marche longtemps avant d'atteindre la palmeraie.  Tu es là, tu m'attends.  Tu remarques mes escarpins et tu dis: <em>″Ne t'en fais pas, ce ne sont pas les escarpins qui manquent, tu choisiras la plus belle paire demain.″</em></p>
<p>C'est un rêve qui me visite depuis bien longtemps.  Du temps où tu habitais la palmeraie.  La semaine prochaine, j'irai te visiter dans ta nouvelle demeure.  Tu ne me parleras pas.  Il n'y aura pas de baisers et encore moins ta main douce sur la mienne, ni ton rire irrésistible.  Il y aura une plaque de marbre avec ton nom.  Mais je sais que tu m'entoureras de ton amour comme tu l'as toujours fait.  Et je te ferai écouter cette chanson que tu as fini par aimer parce que tu disais: ″<em>En l'écoutant, j'arrive à comprendre ce qui se passe dans cet ouragan qui meuble ta tête, ma fille, mon petit être chéri″</em></p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>'You can keep your Brussels and Amsterdam '</p>
<p>In keeping with the title of this blog I should also point out that the Stranglers also wrote a song about Berlin and East Germany. Its titled Bear Cage, not one of their best if I am honest but here are the lyrics and I even found the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CldS6LHsCu0" target="_blank"> video </a>for you. A nice depiction of 'Bearlin'.</p>
<p> work hard, I'm saving my marks<br />
Watch what I do when I swim with the sharks<br />
A new race and a new way to race<br />
Feel ashamed as I live a disgrace</p>
<p>Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage</p>
<p>They never told me what was the truth<br />
Just a young man losing his youth<br />
Sell cars, sell meat, selling anything<br />
Save up just to live like a king</p>
<p>Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage</p>
<p>Bear cage<br />
Bear cage</p>
<p>You can keep your Brussels and Amsterdam<br />
Give me back my summer in Dresden, Man<br />
But they still got peace police over there<br />
Drawing lines on a map just to show I'm there</p>
<p>Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage</p>
<p>Bear cage<br />
Bear cage<br />
Bear cage<br />
Bear cage</p>
<p>Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Powoli pokonuję wiosenne zmęczenie i przestaję tęsknić za zimą, której właściwie nie było. Cieszę się z listków, pojawiających się na różnych podgatunkach wierzby i na krzewach. Natomiast wcale się nie cieszę z wielu innych rzeczy... Np. mam już dość słuchania hasła "Spieprzaj dziadu!", które znowu zaczęło się pojawiać tu i tam, a może nigdy nie przestało być obecne... Dziad został wypieprzony pół roku temu, ale niektórym zupełnie brak umiaru w krytyce i wyśmiewaniu pewnych osób... Pewnie dziad im siedzi w lodówce i wpieprza co lepsze jedzenie :&#124;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tak. Nie muszę wierzyć reklamie, ani facetowi przebranemu za księdza... Ale dlaczego muszę patrzeć na tę obleśną, nieudolną kreację, gdy czekam na jakiś program? Często jestem zajęta klawiaturą lub myszką,  i nie mogę przez cały wieczór obsługiwać pilota :&#124; Ten efebowato-cherubinkowaty ksiądz to pewnie jeden z wielu wspaniałych pomysłów, przedstawianych tu i tam na blogach poświęconych biznesowi reklamowemu, bo wbrew temu, co sugerują niektórzy, żadną sztuką to nie jest... Co najwyżej, sztuką doprowadzania ludzi do pasji :( Nie toleruję reklam, nawet tych "artystycznych" (komercja nie ma większego związku z prawdziwym artyzmem). Mam szczerą nadzieję, że bank reklamowany przez niby-księdza w konfesjonale, nie zyska wielu nowych klientów.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oglądam od czasu do czasu różne kroniki kryminalne, włącznie z tymi "fantastycznymi", jak podejrzewam,  z TVN. Te właśnie<i> docu-crimes</i> osaczają mnie trochę, bo nigdy nie mam pewności, co jest prawdą, a co scenariuszem :x Najbardziej zastanawiają mnie przypadki maniakalnych morderców kobiet... Co kieruje takimi mężczyznami? Co zrobiły im kobiety, że pałają żądzą mordu? Czy skrzywdziły ich matki, byłe partnerki,  czy całe społeczeństwo? I co dzieje się w głowie mordercy? Jak powstają poważne zaburzenia równowagi neurotransmiterów? I jak bardzo  zakłócona jest też praca układu hormonalnego? Czy żyjemy w chorym świecie, który produkuje takich morderców? A może to konsekwencja tego, że kobieta dała z siebie zrobić przedmiot i "śmiecia"...</p>

<div align="left">A <i>Midnight Summer Dream</i> (não confundir com <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midsummer_Night%27s_Dream" target="_blank"><i>A Midsummer Night's Dream</i></a>) dos Stranglers. Do não tão bom como o <i>La Folie</i> mas até audível <i>Feline</i>, de 1982. Agora... porque acordei com isto na cabeça? Ainda falta para o Verão, e já eram 8 e meia. Só tenho a ideia de ter tido um sonho agradável antes de acordar...</div>
<div align="center"><i>Midnight summer dream has me in its spell</i></div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="left">O que acaba por ser interessante no álbum é a mistura de guitarra acústica com bateria electrónica: uma mistura que apesar de datar o álbum mais que um selo a dizer "1982", resulta bastante bem em faixas como esta e a <i>The European Female (In Celebration Of)</i>. Seja como for, é um belo incentivo para meter a ideia da guitarra eléctrica na gaveta por uns tempos e arranjar uma normal.</div>

<div align="left">Só para terminar: o baixista é um grandessíssimo rabeta  que parece que toca com os pés*</div>

<div align="left"><font size="-3"><i>*Caso o sr. JJ Burnel  esteja a ver isto, estou a brincar. A sério. Longe de mim dizer isso de um dos melhores guitarras-baixo do post-punk/new wave. Que por acaso tem um sem-número de cinturões pretos. Mas SÓ por acaso. Não quero que me prendam as pernas com fit-cola no topo da Torre Eifel :&#124;  </i></font></div>
