Desgraciadamente, no cambia el horario de Flor de Pasión. Eso si, Disco Grande es el gran beneficiado pues se queda con el horario del Ordovás y el Manrique se queda con el horario de Jose María Rey. Para los interesados en el power pop y el sonido de guitarras, "Islas de Robinson" se emitirá  Sábados y Domingos de 20 a 22 

A partir del lunes 3 de Septiembre, Radio 3 inaugura la nueva parrilla de programación con algunos cambios sustanciales.

La desaparición de varios programas emblemáticos de la emisora (Diario Pop, Bulevar, Trébede, La Salamandra, Tren 3,...) ha motivado algunos de los ajustes más significativos dentro de la parrilla, propiciando además la incorporación de nuevos espacios, como es el caso de  Tresfusión  (Santiago Alcanda), El Guirigay (Paco Clavel),  Islas de Robinson (Luis dB), Pachamama (Consol Sainz) o 3 en la Carretera (Isabel Ruiz Lara).

Otros programas cambian de horario o incluso de formato, como es el caso de En un Mundo Feliz, presentado por Tato Puerto y Marta Gómez o Disco Grande (Julio Ruiz), que pasan a ser diarios.

Hello, I am addicted to vintage buttons and my name is:

Pam

London, United Kingdom  

http://craft-ho.blogspot.com/ 

el blog va sobre como renovar una triste cocina de los 70 y convertirla en algo decente. (verdadaremente a través de las fotos se ve como esa casa necesitaba urgentemente una reforma) 

Este Julian Cope es la monda. Ahora nos sale con un libro dedicado al rock japonés de los 70... Más interesante es la próxima edición de las sesiones para la BBC de The Teardrop Explodes.

Julian Cope, visionary rock musician and musicologist, hip archaeologist and one-time frontman of The Teardrop Explodes, brings you JAPROCKSAMPLER. Until now, the language barrier has made post-war Japanese music an enigma to the West. Julian felt duty-bound to provide the key to that unfairly locked door.

This is the history of Western music's arrival on Japanese shores after World War Two, and the delicious mayhem that ensued. From chromatic instrumental pop covers of The Shadows' songs to the resurrection of Dylan-inspired Rokyoku folk storytelling, nowhere has the continual metamorphosis of rock'n'roll been more fascinating or original than in Japan.

JAPROCKSAMPLER is an exploration of the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock'n'roll renegades of the 1960s and '70s. It tells the tale of key artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking, and rounds up the seminal japrock albums.

Julian guarantees that this book will have you rethinking your attitudes to music, art, time - and even life itself

Libro de fotografías dedicado a The Jam. Hay una web dedicada al libro: http://www.thejamunseen.com/ 

In 1982, their last studio LP, The Gift, went to the top of the album chart and Town Called Malice and Beat
Surrender were No.1 singles. That same year, 21-year old freelance photographer Twink was commissioned
by The Jam to be their official photographer, capturing them not only on
stage, but also their life out of the public eye. A quarter of a century
on, this volume brings together for the first time more than 200 of his
outstanding photographs. "For me and countless others," says Twink, "The Jam stand head and
shoulders above any other three-piece band you care to recall, and most
other bands - past, present and future ... They were the spokespeople for a
generation, social commentators empathising with dole-queue despair and
becoming idols to the country's disillusioned youth." These stunning images capture The Jam's electrifying live performances as well as their quieter moments - backstage, travelling and relaxing. "When
we needed a photographer to come on the road with us - someone who could
`access all areas' and take candid fly-on-the-wall shots - we had no doubt
that he was our man," write Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler in the foreword
to this book.

Curiosamente la cara B de su nuevo single ("Penelope") me gusta más que la A, que es la que podéis ver en el vídeo, aunque igual es porque la cara A es más Josef K y la B más Aztec Camera... El grupo parece un revival de los 80: Editan cassettes, hablan de Postcard, Pastels, Mary Chain y tocan habitualmente en un club llamado Living Room 2...

"...think Josef K meets Aztec Camera and you are half way there..." - Alan Mcgee

"...terrific..." - NME

Laisse Tomber Les Filles" is a French song composed by Serge Gainsbourg and performed by France Gall in 1964. April March recorded two covers of the song in 1995: one with the original French lyrics, and another, "Chick Habit," with English lyrics written by March.The song is used for the end texts in the movie Death Proff by Quentin Tarantino

“Primal Scream son el McDonald´s de la música. El rock como marca. Siempre suenan como el productor que contratan. Yo podría hacer un disco suyo sin necesidad de que ellos pasasen por el estudio. SON EL PEOR GRUPO DEL MUNDO. ME MOLESTA SU EXISTENCIA. A veces me provocan impulsos violentos. Es horrible encontrarles cada día en la radio, TV o revistas. Mis amigos me dicen que no es buena idea insultarles porque tocan en todos los festivales. Me da igual porque ya les he aguantado bastante. Son una especie de Spam. En Inglaterra no puedes escapar de ellos.” (Colin Newman (Wire, Githead) a Víctor Lenore en el Rock de Lux 254)

 Pd: Parece que el señor Newman me ha quitado la presidencia del club de anti fans de Primal Scream. Una pena. Tendré que conformarme con la vicepresidencia. El de la foto es Mr. Newman, claro. ¡No iba a poner una foto del Gillespie! ¡qué este blog se llama ANTIROCK! Claro que Wire no son lo mío, exceptuando el “Outdoor Miner” (Memorable estribillo el de “He lies on his side, is he trying to hide? In fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth”). Por cierto la letra según la web stereosociety.com, tiene un curioso origen: “The music was written by Colin after Graham had given him lyrics about the intense domestic problem facing the serpentine miner, an insect which lives in a leaf and eats its chlorophyll.  Graham's lyrics are anxious about the possibility of the roof falling in.” 

Número 1 en el “Northern Soul top 500” de Kev Roberts; “the rarest of the rare northern soul single”; “The northern soul most expensive record”... Así se hacen las leyendas. ¿Cómo no sentir curiosidad en buscar y escuchar la canción ????

Frank Wilson is an african american former songwriter and record producer for Motown. He joined the company in 1965. Wilson also tried his hand at being a recording artist himself, recording the single “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" for release on the Motown subsidiary label 'Soul.' Supposedly 250 demo 45s were pressed, but by that time Frank Wilson decided he would rather focus on producing and had the demos trashed. Somehow at least two known copies survived, one of which fetched £15,000 (aprox. $28,000.00). Because of the scarcity of the original single and the high quality of the music (it was one of the most popular records in the Northern soul movement), it has been championed as one of the rarest and most valuable records in history.

Para ver quienes son los dos propietarios actuales de dichos singles, ver: http://www.thisoldsoul.com/fw.html

Pd: La canción está disponible en cualquier recopilación de best of the northern soul que se precie, así como en varias de la Tamla Motown.

Me he bajado el popcasting 54 de Jaime Souvenir y es un programa que realmente le salió redondo. Para empezar ha cambiado la sintonía que sigue siendo de The Beach Boys pero esta vez una versión del “Walk on By” (contenida en Friends/20/20 ) de Bacharach & David que no conocía y que es realmente bonita.

El tracklisting es el siguiente: jerry butler · moon river  ::  katy mofatt · fools fall in love  ::  lee hazlewood & anne margret · dark end of the street  ::  jane birkin & françoise hardy · comment lui dire adieu  ::  etienne daho & dani · comme un boomerang  ::  april march · mon ange gardien  ::  dean & britta · I deserve it  ::  robert forster · echo beach  ::  sonny and cher · leave me be  ::  lambchop · backstreet girl  ::  morrissey · moon river.

La versión del “Moon River” de Jerry Butler es impresionante, al igual que la de Katy Moffatt del “Fools Fall in Love” (Lieber & Stoller). Pero da igual destacar cosas; el programa de principio a fin es una maravilla. Así que a bajárselo: http://www.geocities.com/popcastingpop/

There's a certain sound always follows me around
When you're close to me you will hear it
It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover
There could be no other for their love

Music by Hans Last and Words by Jackie Rae

Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 22 in 1969)

Tema también interpretado por Petula Clark, Nick Decaro y Anita Kerr

Marc Almond la interpreta de manera maravillosa en su nuevo lp, “Stardom road” (que también cuenta con colaboraciones de lujo, entre ellas la de Sarah Cracknell, con la que canta el "I Close My Eyes and Coun to Ten" de Dusty)

AYERS, KEVIN
the unfairground

the pioneer of the british psychedelic scene returns with his first studio album in 15 years accompanied by the artists he inspred like teenage fanclub, ladybug transistor, candie payne and euros childs. also featured is long time musician and close friend hugh hopper from his soft machine days. ayers ambles through these gently beguiling songs like an old rogue who has fallen into the company of some indulgent new friends. robert wyatt guests as the wyattron, a heavily treated harmony on 'cold shoulder' that recalls eno's metamorphosis into the enotron on wyatt's own records. phil manzanera, another of wyatt's crew, adds some faintly threatening freak-out in the background of 'brainstorm'. best of all, the elusive bridget st john duets on 'baby come home', a romantic gambol with the rich brass band trim that's a hallmark of this whole, immensely pleasant record.

Verdaderamente impresiona el avance de “Control”, el debut cinematográfico del excelente fotógrafo Anton Corbijn y que versa en torno a la vida de Ian Curtis y Joy División.

Las críticas en Cannes han sido muy buenas y el film se estrena a principios de Octubre en Uk y USA. Toda la info (y espectaculares fotos sobre la misma, en  http://www.joydiv.org/these.htm)

Saint Etienne siguen con sus películas, ayudando a Paul Kelly (ex East Village y manager del grupo). “This is Tomorrow” es la nueva y es un documental sobre el transcurso del tiempo en el Southbank. Como ya se vio en sus anteriores documentales, el romanticismo y la obsesión por Londres, predominan ante todo. Han colgado en esta página de youtube varias escenas de la misma. Naturalmente la música es de ellos: http://uk.youtube.com/profile?user=loversunitefilms 

The film features interviews with people who have made major contributions to the building and its architecture, including designer Robin Day, original architects Trevor Dannatt and Jim Cadbury-Brown, Southbank Centre's current artistic director Jude Kelly, artist Jeremy Deller and author Alain De Botton as well as builders, manufacturers, local residents and Southbank Centre staff. Plus Brief City (UK 1952. Dir Jacques Brunius & Maurice Harvey. 19min): How the Festival of Britain transformed the South Bank into a post-war wonderland.

 “A sun-kissed trip to the most baroque and extravagant sounds of the Sixties” (UNCUT)

They are back back back with Up With The Larks (MA 69), their sixth album for Marina Records. Joyous title track, “Up With The Larks” kickstarts the day, “shattered and blue in splinters and sparks”, rich with trademark Pearlfishers lush vocal harmonies, multi-layered guitar texture, the wild jangle of a battered upright piano and exquisite melodic twists and turns. Teenage Fanclub’s Norman Blake co-produced four of the album’s cuts, starting with “The Bluebells” – not a tribute to once famous Scottish popsters but a beautiful, string-laden rumination on the turning of seasons. One act that does indeed receive a full-blooded name-check are Womack And Womack in a song titled, aptly enough, “Womack And Womack” which recalls Scott’s early days running with the hawks of the major music industry (“…left the school and joined a band, like other lads across the land, gladly kissed the corporate hand…”). Morning breaks again in “Ring The Bells For A Day”, complete with the glittering Big Star chime of massed Fender Stratocaster, an exultation to “cast the night away” and a line written in tribute to one of Scott’s enduring heroes, Brian Wilson: “Wherever you lie down, wherever you wake up, the world follows”.The Pearlfishers 2006 Japanese tour with BMX Bandits is thrillingly recounted in “The Umbrellas Of Shibuya”, a song which takes its reference point from Michel Legrand’s classic movie opera “The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg” but locates itself in a Tokyo rainstorm – with neon puddles, painted in Morricone banjos, Sakamoto synth blooms, Nilsson mouth music and, most tellingly, Scott’s truly unique sense of melody and structure. Another highlight is the Randy Newman-esque “With You On My Mind” which sounds like a lost Tin Pan Alley classic arranged by Van Dyke Parks. “London’s In Love” could be the theme song to an as-yet-to-be-made romantic comedy blockbuster starring the new Cary Grant, set in the “blue black air” of Britain’s capital, full of promise and heartbreak.The Pearlfishers, firmly rooted in the classic tradition of three minute cinematics as pioneered by Webb, McCartney and, recently Rufus Wainwright, reach a great finale with the album’s closing songs: “Blue Riders On The Range”, a sparkling widescreen epic (sounding like Marvin & Diana doing “RAM”) and the gorgeous, pastoral “I Just See The Rainbow” which ends the album on an optimistic note. “And call me cock-eyed if you will, but I don’t see that dark hill, I just see the rainbow…”.

The only way is UP!Check out http://www.marinarecords.com/ma69.htm for further details and soundfiles. The album gets a worldwide release on September 28, 2007.

“I'm from a sort of punk, D.I.Y. scene, so it's great to feel that now I'm in an indie band that that's going on as well. I'm all for small bands, small labels, try to bring down the big companies." (The Hermit Crabs a aversion.com)
