This song has been stuck in my head all week.

and this:

I am slow getting to know new places, and Phoenix is no exception. I’ve made friends with my neighbor, and last weekend we went out to see an Irish band, The Brazen Heads. They were high energy and fun – all incredible musicians.  Of course, after the show, we talked with the band, and Liam, the lead singer, has asked me to sing Lou Reed’s Perfect Day with them next time I come out! Hell yeah! Their keyboardist/sax/harmonica/flute/penny whistle/accordion player Mark emailed me the transcription (they are serious)!

Another cool thing was the discovery of Salvador Calvano Hair.

massive amounts of hair – 2012

Six months ago I called Salvador Calvano for a massive hair style change – after looking up several salons in Phoenix, I got a good feeling from Salvador’s and Patty’s website. I managed to book Salvador right before he left to New York to style hair during Fashion Week (which was another clue that he was awesome, not to mention having a look at his portfolio).

At the time, I had a lot of hair, and pretty much the same hair style for the last twenty years. And, after spending several years in the desert – it was getting dry and crunchy! It weighed a lot, too, which, wasn’t really that great for my neck.

It was this video of Salvador cutting his own hair off, and his partner Patty* finishing the style that won me over – because I was close to doing the same thing to myself (and I knew my outcome would not be as pretty if I did it alone).

It was Patty’s and Salvador’s messages, “Consult a Professional” along with, “Come on Down” with their no-frills style that got me. Oh yeah, and, “Change is good,” and, “It’ll grow back.”

drums, bass, guitar and mics!

Of course, when I walked into Salvador Calvano Hair, I knew I was in the right place when I saw the full stage set up for creative bursts of musical energy and jam sessions with friends. I said to him, “Cut it all off!!” and he said, “Really?” and I said, “YES, let’s do it!”

I was thinking, “Hello? What dimension did I just enter? This is amazing!” The energy feels really good at the salon because Salvador and Patty are super cool, they do excellent work, and they have made space for what they love.

After six freakin’ months, my hair still looked good, but it was time for a new cut. I am really happy – my head feels great – I’ve got lightweight springy curls – and I spent an afternoon among two lovely people and their golden retriever.

happy and open

dark and serious

* The day I got my first haircut by Salvador was the day he proposed to Patty! Now they are married.

Nancy Sinatra: Bang Bang- I am uncertain as to how or why it has occurred, but about a month I started singing this song in the shower every morning. I will not complain as it is a great song, but I think my husband is beginning to look at me a little funny.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong: Summertime- This song is the best way to achieve an endless summer. I Love playing it when it’s soggy in Seattle, which is like 302 days out of the year.

Thanks for tuning in to another…

Sebuah artikel oleh musikolog NYU dalam Journal of the Society for American Music merinci bagaimana musik secara teratur digunakan dalam interogasi di pangkalan-pangkalan militer di Irak dan Afghanistan sebagai metode untuk mendapatkan disorientasi dan membujuk tersangka untuk berbicara tanpa harus menggunakan kekuatan fisik.

Di antaranya sejumlah lagu yang digunakan oleh militer dan badan-badan penegak hukum agar tersangka “menyanyi”, yaitu:

1. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”

Salah satu warga Spanyol yang dituduh terkait dengan jaringan teroris Al-Qaeda mengklaim bahwa interogator memainkan lagu ini selama 2 tahun dia tinggal di penjara Teluk Guantanamo Kuba.

2. Christina Aguilera’s “Dirty”

Mohammed al Qahtani, yang dipercaya sebagai salah satu pembajak pesawat pada serangan 11 September, mengaku diinterogasi dengan 2 metode, yaitu tetesan air di kepala dan diperdengarkan lagu dirty nya Aguilera yang sarat dengan lirik bermuatan seksual. Hal ini dikombinasikan dengan teknik interogasi yang lain seperti striptease oleh seorang perempuan.

3. Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walking”

Saat penyerbuan FBI, polisi federal Amerika Serikat terhadap markas Branch Davidian, pimpinan David Koresh. Sebuah sekte keagamaan yang dicurigai menghimpun senjata dan amunisi gelap, FBI memasang pengeras suara di dekat bunker untuk memutar lagu-lagu mars dan lagu-lagu Nancy Sinatra. Maksudnya, kebisingan itu diharapkan membuat David Koresh dan pengikutnya menyerah. Sayang sekali, Hanya 9 orang yang tak kuat melawan suara bising, dan muncul dengan kedua tangan terangkat ke atas. Selebihnya adalah orang-orang yang teguh ”iman”-nya, yang lebih takut pada hukum David Koresh daripada hukum Amerika.

4. AC/DC’s “Shoot to Thrill” and “Hells Bells”

Lagu-lagu heavy metal telah lama menjadi alat favorit interogator militer. Lagu ini kalau diputar berulang-ulang dapat membuat perasaan sakit atau ketidaknyamanan fisik di telinga dan kepala. Bila tak tahan, bisa dipastikan tahanan bakal stres atau depresi dan menyerah kepada si interogator.

5. Barry Manilow’s “Anything”
Lagu ini memang tidak dipake oleh militer, tapi pemerintah kota Christchurch di Selandia Baru punya cara unik untuk menjaga patung-patung maupun karya seni lain di tempat umum yang sebelumnya sering dicorat-coret maupun dirusak sekawanan berandalan yang nongkrong di kawasan perbelanjaan. Caranya, memutar lagu lagu-lagu iringan penyanyi pop lawas, Barry Manilow dengan pengeras suara di tempat-tempat umum.

6. Barney the Dinosaur’s “I Love You”

salah satu lagu yang di pakai Interogator di tahanan Guantanamo. Lagu ini memang mengingatkan kita akan kegembiraan berkumpul bersama keluarga dan dipakai sebagai salah satu cara untuk meyakinkan para tahanan kalo tidak ada gunanya mempertahankan prinsip mereka untuk tidak bicara (kalau mereka ngomong, bisa dibebaskan untuk bertemu lagi dengan keluarga mereka).

Cerita lainnya adalah, tentara Amerika “menculik” tahanan yang sudah disiksa, kemudian memutar lagu Christina Aguilera, sembari menyiramkan air kepada tahanan itu. Lagu lain yang kerap dipakai sebagai backsong penyiksaan di Guantanamo adalah Eminem dan Dr Dre. Laporan-laporan yang dilansir oleh BBC ini menunjukkan bahwa “musik yang memekakkan telinga” biasanya diputar kepada tahanan yang telah dirantai dan berada pada “posisi stres”, ditaroh dalam ruang gelap gulita, dan dibuat tidak nyaman panas atau dingin.

Musik sebenarnya sudah sejak lama dipakai sebagai metode penyiksaan. Hal ini dikemnbangkan oleh CIA, dinas rahasia Amerika Serikat. Paling tidak, fakta ini mengatakan penggunaan musik dalam “interogasi” adalah “strategi baru” yang sebenarnya bisa dianggap perilaku  nakal dan sadis ketika menyiksa. Menyamakan ruang dingin atau musik keras dengan penyiksaan adalah jenis terburuk relativisme moral.

Dalam konteks berbeda, musik memang kerap dianggap “siksaan” oleh mereka-mereka yang merasa tidak sepaham dan menikmatinya.

Anggapan bahwa musik bisa menjadi ajang penyiksaan muncul, di dialog blogosphere [blog diskusi tentang musik sebagai siksaan], antara orang-orang yang merasa diri mereka sebagai “disiksa” dengan musik-musik metal, rap, disko, atau balada sentimental. Mengapa? Mudah saja sebenarnya. Ketika kita tidak suka dengan salah satu jenis musik yang ada, diluar yang kita suka  [apalagi fanatic], biasanya akan kita anggap sebagai siksaan.

Pada tahun 2003 BBC menuliskan, penyerangan lewat musik bisa mengacaukan jiwa tawanan, apalagi yang disajikan lagu-lagu AS, negara yang justru dibenci para tawanan. Thomas Keenan, Direktur Human Rights Project di Bard College, kepada Aljazeera mengatakan, “Musik juga mampu mengontrol pikiran dan mengacaukan batin.”
Pada tahun 2008 sekelompok grup musik melayangkan permohonan yang melarang lagu-lagu mereka dimainkan dalam teknik penyiksaan itu. Lagu Eminem White America, dan lagu Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA termasuk yang dimainkan.

Berbicara tentang tahanan,  ada suatu proyek yang disebut proyek MK-ULTRA, yang dipercaya sudah dilakukan nazi untuk menginterogasi para tawanan perang.

kepanjangan MK sendiri adalah Mind-Kontrolle (Mind Control/Pengontrol Pikiran) Amerika menggunakan metode ini untuk menginterogasi tawanan perang sejak 1960-an.

Pembahasan lebih lanjut tentang MK pada artikel selanjutnya…

ON THIS DAY – The swinging 60s, free love, flowers in your hair and enough drugs to knock out a team of whales. You hear many people say ‘Oh I was born in the wrong era!’ well no need because the music from back then is all around us! You could even drive around in a flower painted VW camper van if you’d wish, and listen to this look back in time to when music charts were less about Justin B and more about music so cool it made Cliff Richard look good.

The good news is that we have decided to release this song, along with two others as part of the Devil Inside single, available at present in digital download only.  I added some vocals to the track as well, and joined Nancy Sinatra in spirit to Pete’s Lee.  The single is online and listenable here:

Now I’m a bit concerned about the weather in France this week as I’m seeing a lot of talk about snow flurries floating around the interweb.  I was hoping not to have to pack all my heavy duty winter clothing, but looks like I’ll be taking it, just to be sure.  We’ve got just one and a half days left here, and last minute preparations are underway.  I think this may be the most well prepared tour we’ve ever undertaken, and I hope it’s going to be the best yet.  12 concerts in 12 days, here we come.

PS My Ampeg Mini (code-named Ms Amy) has grown since the last time you saw her.  She’s nearly as tall as me now!

Dig that ‘tache!

And just to tie this in with the last couple of posts, here’s Primal Scream doing a kind of cover of it – although they include Kate Moss, lose the 3/4 time signature and a big chunk of the lyrics, and make it sound like Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit in the Sky.

Northland College, at the time, was coolly un-school-like. There were no homecoming celebrations and not much attention was paid to collegiate sports. In fact, my small town high school teams had much bigger followings. Instead, we had the magic of sense of place. It was a wonderful place to grow and experiment and learn and dream. Snow Fest, in the middle of the winter, was probably the only time anyone had a shred of school spirit. There were lots of competitions between voluntary teams of friends including a cannon ball into the pool competition, an ice sculpture contest, a lip-synching-to-music event, and a zany scavenger hunt. It distracted us from the doldrums of studies and we disdained the low temperatures to be outside. It was a celebration of winter and nature and the fact that people will do crazy things in crazy cold temperatures.

Winter in northern Wisconsin was wonderful. Two of my years in college were some of the coldest on record and they were accompanied by dizzying amounts of snow. During my first year it was the first time Lake Superior had completely frozen over in something like 20 years. You could cheaply rent snowshoes and cross-country skis from the student outdoor gear Outpost. However, a good pair of snow boots and some heavy wool socks were enough to run around in, build snow people, make snow angels, try kamikaze sledding runs, and take maddeningly cold midnight walks. They were perfect for nocturnal adventures and looking for the Northern Lights. A pair of Sorels in the winter was like my ticket to the universe. In a school where fashion meant more holes and less laundering, people were serious about their outdoor gear. I packed up for college with a couple of wool sweaters, two pairs of rag wool socks, an old-hand-me-down green down stuffed coat, and a pair of seventies era hand-me-down steel-toed hiking boots. I figured the hiking boots would suffice for hikes and snow.

When we started receiving our first snows in late fall, however, I began secretly lusting after a pair of Sorel snow boots. Lots of students had versions of them and they were utilitarian enough not to look too cool. (This was before Sorel had high heel options–ewww–or started to advertise in Vogue, seriously.) I remember standing in front of the window at the Army Navy store looking at them, the way a dog drools for a bone. My parents, on the phone, said we would figure out something during the winter break, as money was tight. My first Christmas home, the last present I opened under the tree was a big heavy box. I figured it might be snow boots, but in my childish, churlish ways I expected them to be the “wrong” kind, not the ones I’d been drooling over for a semester. To my surprise I opened the box and there they were. I wore them to walk into town, to walk across Chequamegon Bay, to walk to Sand Island. I wore them as much as I could for camping and sledding and every day adventures. I grew up in those boots.

Things are different now. I have a full-time job, an apartment, and adult worries. I think about carbon footprints and wonder if I’m making any impact professionally. As I ponder next steps, the snow boots come to mind. I have now owned the same pair of boots for 19 years. In a world where cheap and disposable, however unsustainable, seems to be the trend, I relish the old and reliable. They have accompanied me on moves to four states, throughout my entire “grown-up” life. They have outlasted resumes and relationships. In the last couple of years in drought-stricken Colorado, they have seen little use, but I still pull them out when the forecast calls for one to two inches of snow. I’ve replaced the shoe laces two or three times, but the boots are still in great shape. We have hiked, snowshoed, winter camped, skated on sidewalks, jumped in ice-and-snow piles, and wandered on dry ground searching for frozen moisture.

I take the most comfort pulling them on in the middle of the night, out for a walk to sort out my thoughts and to soothe my soul in the cold dark air. I can hear the rhythm of my footsteps in these boots to two of my favorite songs, Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walking” and Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight. Those songs become my themes, my armor as I walk alone. I have dried the boot inserts in front of fireplaces as I dried my tears. I have squashed the boots into the corners of closets and car trunks, hearing their whispers of adventures. They still warm the feet and heart, they still trudge along with the baggage of a life. They sit silently, speaking to my adventurous soul, ignoring my still life. I look at them longingly as I once did in a store window. They fit my feet and their fit comforts me, knowing that when I pull them on, adventure awaits.

Those boots rest at the intersection of girlhood idealism and adulthood hope, the merging, perhaps, of my best selves. I can see footsteps from yesterday, paths to take now, trails for tomorrow. They’re waiting and so am I. Next steps harken. What will they be?

The trailer for this film really doesn’t appeal to me…why? Because, I feel like I’ve seen this film in one way shape or form. Plus I can’t get past Nicole’s yellow looking hair. I am, however, feeling the soundtrack, of which I am listening to right now. Composer Clint Mansell (Life of Pi, Black Swan, The Fountain) has dug into his eclectic bag of tricks and pulled from it deep and cathartic moods as always. To help him along this eerie path he’s enlisted the help of composer Philip Glass , producer Emily Wells and even Nancy Sinatra. Clearly the man has come undone or this film is just that strange it warrants aural candy of varying degrees. Mission accomplished! This soundtrack can consider itself added to my itunes library! You can listen to the whole thing via soundcloud.
