<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Qual o artista e qual banda não gostaria de ter uma música em um comercial de tv? Ter um grande hit, ser cantarolado no chuveiro, virar ringtone e ser homenageado por uma carreira de sucesso e glória é O sonho de qualquer rock star! Nesse episódio, falamos sobre a superexposição que algumas músicas tem, que embasam a carreira (e a conta bancária) de bandas clássicas e de algumas novatas. Sabe aquele chicletinho de música?</p>

<description><![CDATA[En esta ocasión enfrentamos en Qué canción es mejor a dos bandas que gozan actualmente de mucha popu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>En esta ocasión enfrentamos en <strong>Qué canción es mejor </strong>a dos bandas que gozan actualmente de mucha popularidad. La canción que hemos elegido es <strong>Take Me Out</strong> del grupo escocés <a title="web oficial del grupo" href="http://www.franzferdinand.co.uk/" target="_blank">Franz Ferdinand</a>. Publicada en su primer album en el 2004 , es desde entonces junto a <a title="video de This Fire" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcAxKmj1i3w" target="_blank">This Fire</a> o <a title="video de Michael" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OH7NhwZlj4" target="_blank">Michael</a> una de las imprescindibles en sus conciertos.  En directo es una de las que más disfruta el público por el ritmo de sus inconfundibles guitarras como pudimos comprobar en su <a title="nuestra crónica" href="http://auriculardigital.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/franz-ferdinand-calento-bilbao/" target="_blank">reciente concierto de Bilbao</a>.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/xZGcw9HHOkU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/xZGcw9HHOkU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Para compararla hemos elegido la versión que hacen los <a title="web oficial del grupo" href="http://www.scissorsisters.com/" target="_blank">Scissor Sisters</a>.  Y la elección se debe a que es completamente diferente a la original. La llevan a su terreno consiguiendo un magnífico resultado. Esta versión salió como cara B de su single <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZuq9dCWqLk" target="_blank">Mary</a> el mismo año de publicación que la original. Nosotros nos quedamos con la de los escoceses a pesar de ser una magnífica versión. <em>Las Hermanas Tijeras</em> son conocidas sobre todo por su éxito <a title="video de la canción" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZ1tygRaVw" target="_blank">I Don&#8217;t Feel Like Dancing.</a></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/SqD_5CP906k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/SqD_5CP906k&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

Den originale videoen til låten finner jeg ikke lenger på YouTube, men det er en fantastisk liveutgave der, hvor sceneshowet bare er såå godt. Og, som jeg har sagt før, det er bare helt umulig å ikke bli i godt humør av denne låten. Men her, med denne liveutgaven overgår de seg selv.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Om en time skal jeg undervise i København under tittelen &#8220;I (Don&#8217;t) Feel Like Dancing,&#8221; så dermed er dette også å regne som litt oppvarming.</p>

<p>This band got to the UK final of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest a few years back. Currently, the lads are teetering on the very edge of ‘stadium’ success having won the title of the “Best UK live and unsigned band”. We wish them well. They are BIG local talents and you should get up to the HOB and support them&#8230;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Danny Roulette will be playing with the ever popular DEMURE. See this band now- they have just released their EP and are starting to grow is stature and success. The band plays Alt- Rock in the conventional sense but with overtures towards noise rock, especially in the way that the percussion and the bass are given the freedom to spread out their wings and have dissonant aural adventures of their own, but framed within the main architecture of each song.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The last time ADPONTES saw DEMURE we said that they reminded us of ‘Sonic Youth’ or ‘Butthole Surfers’. <a href="../2008/09/13/demure-at-staines/" target="_blank">To check out the full ADPONTES review click here</a></p>

The band have been together since 2003, although each individual member is a true professional in their field with several years of experience with other bands.

Saturday 7th February 2009</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-572" title="feb07_frayedknot" src="http://staines.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/feb07_frayedknot.jpg" alt="feb07_frayedknot" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Frayed Knot</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;ll be no more &#8211;aaaaaahhhhh!&#8221;</p>
<p>Frayed Knot is one of the first of the Staines superbands to go public (expect some more in the coming months.) I am not really suggesting that these knotty boys are the new &#8216;Velvet Revolver&#8217; or anything like that (to be honest) all I am saying is that this band is a superband as defined: It is an ensemble of competent musicians playing together as part of a separate yet meaningful project. Most musicians tend to do this kind of thing all the time anyway&#8230;it helps to oil the works and it also harmonises concepts and musical approaches&#8230;but the ‘side projects’ either gradually fade away or they become ‘main projects’ before too long. It will be interesting to see how the boys from Frayed Knot develop this initiative.</p>
<p>The problem with the local ‘covers band’ scene is that loyal live music punters end up hearing the same-old lame-old songs played in much the same way each week&#8230; week-in-week-out. This is because, as a ‘covers artist’, you are ‘expected’ to achieve a faithful representation of the original article. It is almost as if you are obligated to create a genuine ‘photocopy’ of the song &#8211; and it must be portrayed exactly as it is fondly remembered. And there are only ‘so-many’ songs that are straight forward enough to cover and also easy enough to recognise.</p>
<p>This approach to covering songs reminds me of the 80’s TV Show “Copy Cats” (starring comedians like our very own Staines hometown hero Bobby Davro) who would, supposedly, do amazing impersonations of our fave celebs each week. So,inevitably, you ended up getting a pile of Eastenders and Dallas impressions and the highpoint of the show was Andrew O’Connor doing a ‘hiarious’ Rik Mayall or Hilary O’Neil doing a marvellous Sybil Fawlty&#8230; in the end you were crying out for one of the stars to ‘do’ something ‘new’.</p>
<p>But if, as a covers musician, you dare to tamper with a sacred song- for example you might be tempted to add a bit of a fringe to the bottom of “Whole Lotta Love” or a tiny bit of lace to the collar of “Be-Bop-A-Lula” or you might even wish to embroider the pockets of “Baggy Trousers”  with a couple of extra chords &#8211; then the audience will look at you in that special way that the vicar does when you let out an almighty fart in church. You will know, deep deep down, that you have committed a terrible sin in the eyes of the Lord and of the congregation, and you will realise- soon enough- that you deserve to be dunked, like a witch, into a vat of boiling urine as penance for such a terrible and unspeakable outrage.</p>
<p>Each week Simon Cowell implores contestants on the “America’s Got The X-factor Pop Idol” show to ‘interpret the song’ or to ‘re-imagine’ the song and he often tells the performers to ‘be themselves’. But this sensible advice doesn’t seem to go down too well in the whole pub ‘covers’ band industry.  (Incidentally, this ‘industry’ is starting to become a big money affair with quite a few very accomplished and worthy musicians earning tidy sums of money in various tribute bands up and down the country.)</p>
<p>So it was a great treat to watch a band who were not scared to try some new covers, put a bit of a twist onto some familiar tunes and to add their own flavour and seasoning to some of the more traditional songs. So we enjoyed some ‘Snow Patrol’, ‘Oasis’,‘Killers’, ‘The Fratellis’ and ‘The Automatic’ but we also had some grand old   ‘Eddie Cochran’ and a thick slice of ‘Black Sabbath’.</p>
<p>John Hulme is the larger-than-lifesize Andrew Strong type lead singer. He is a very powerful man with a huge set of battle-cruiser lungs and he could crush and squeeze every last drop of juice from the songs in the Frayed Knot song-book. I especially liked his rasping, teasing, wheezing approach to AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ which was superbly accompanied by Mark Hamilton on lead guitar and Lee Ridley on rhythm.</p>
<p>It is my long-held tradition &#8211; whenever I see a band attempting to cover an AC/DC number- to loudly demand that the lead guitarist gets up onto the back of the lead singer for a ‘walkabout’ into the crowd. On this occasion though, I reluctantly decided against the notion- mainly because the Health &#38; Safety Executive would put me on their Most Wanted list&#8230; John is approx 6’13 and Mark looks to be well over 5’10, but the ceiling at the tiny Jolly Farmer public house provides only about 7 foot clearance!</p>
<p>The boys went on to cover  “Morning Glory” (Oasis) with a fine performance by John and some nifty percussion by drummer David Bateman and also went on to give a delightful cover of “Every Rose Has Its Thorns”. Without a doubt my favourite tune was a remarkable rendition of the Red Hot Chili Peppers staple “Give It Away” with an enormous chunky base by Garry Pierrepont and finely cut slices of lead guitar from Mark&#8230;and the very tricky vocals were spot on. To be fair, the boys are not as good-looking or as energetic as Anthony and Flea &#8211; but I am sure that they must be very gifted in other departments (nudge-nudge wink-wink).</p>
<p>This band tends to concentrate on the catchy anthemic confectionery of recent years so, when you see ‘em (and I very much recommend that you do) you can expect some sing-along modern-day hymns. The indie tunes that they cover do not come across as stale or unnecessarily slick or formulaic. There is definitely an authentic and sincere heart beating away deep inside the creature that is Frayed Knot. Yes, their music is pop-infused and can, at times, be a bit sugary and feel-goody (in a  cotton-candy party-time kinda way) but this approach is just right for the Staines pub scene. So the boys play the songs that make the crowd yelp with joy, but served up with a sabre-sharp ice-cool quality that would make lesser bands look on enviously.</p>
<p>One of the ‘finale’ songs of Frayed Knot was the Gilmour tune “Comfortably Numb” originally by either ‘Pink Floyd’ or ‘The Scissor Sisters’ depending on your point of view. In the best traditions of a typical pub on a Saturday night in Blighty, the exact pedigree of this song managed to cause a kerfuffle in the crowd with a few strong words and rude gestures slung about and things looked pretty ugly for a few moments when half the crowd started to bellow “It is a f*** floyd song” to be shouted down by the other half who screamed “No, everyone knows its by the f*** Scissors Sisters” (sic)</p>
<p>So we got to the end of the last set (via a whole pile of indie hits and even a rendition of the “Theme Tune from Horrid Henry” ) to the happily bouncing chug-a-chugging piping-hot version of the two-tone Madness ska hit “Night Boat to Cairo” (I am sure that Foulplay also finish on that one) and the boys took their well-earned bow and a heartfelt ovation from a slightly over-excited crowd. A fine tribute to a great sounding tribute band.</p>
<p>Keep the covers coming boys, by all means, but please be sure to keep a little of yourselves in each of the interpretations.<br />
Good work.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.erolalkan.co.uk">Erol</a> does it so perfectly. Live sets are always critically acclaimed, filled with epic bangers that leave the dancefloor nothing short of breathless. His remixes are stoking your insides with dreamy basslines and building up to that climax towards the end. Both songs have been around for quite some time, but do yourself a favour and go take a listen if you haven&#8217;t already done that.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dia 52, quinta-feira:</p>
<p>Outro dia de trabalho de madrugada. Ouvindo o mesmo dvd de ontem, relembrei 4 músicas que amo e nunca lembro também:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/5/1990275/08%20c%27mere.mp3" target="_blank">C&#8217;mere</a>, do <a href="http://www.interpolnyc.com" target="_blank">Interpol</a> &#8211; Gente, AMO essa música. Amo. Amo. O que é essa letra?? Socorro! Tô começando a me arrepender de não ter ido no show deles&#8230;</li>
<li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/5/1990275/09.%20-%20Hey%20Julie.mp3" target="_blank">Hey Julie</a>, do <a href="http://www.fountainsofwayne.com" target="_blank">Fountains of Wayne</a> &#8211; Own.. esta é fofa e significa muito pra mim. Eu adoro as músicas deles, mas essa é a minha preferida. Sempre me faz lembrar uma pessoa e eu sempre sorrio quando isto acontece. Esta música é simples e perfeita e traduz realmente.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/5/1990275/10%20kent%20-%20rollercoaster.mp3" target="_blank">Rollercoaster</a>, do <a href="http://www.kent.nu" target="_blank">kent</a> &#8211; Esta é uma música linda desta banda sueca pouco conhecida. Eu sempre esqueço deles, mas sempre que volto a ouvi-los eu lembro que amo. Hahah! Anyway, a letra e a melodia desta música são perfeitas.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/5/1990275/10-it%20can%27t%20come%20quickly%20enough.mp3" target="_blank">It Can&#8217;t Come Quickly Enough</a>, do <a href="http://www.scissorsisters.com" target="_blank">Scissors Sisters</a> &#8211; Esta melodia me faz viajar horrores. É a música que mais amo do SS. Definitivamente.</li>
</ul>
<p>De resto, cheguei atrasadíssima na aula e perdi o começo da apresentação do filme <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057345" target="_blank">O Desprezo</a>, do <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Godard" target="_blank">Godard</a>. =/ Mas o que eu vi, eu gostei bastante. Depois, a professora apresentou o <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056801" target="_blank">Fellini 8 1/2</a>. Muito bom também. Agora eu quero ver tudo! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Aí a mulé ficou viajando horrores sobre os filmes metalingüísticos e eu pensei logo em <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276919" target="_blank">Dogville</a>. Gente, pareceu que ela leu minha mente porque, logo depois, ela falou sobre o filme. E a gente ficou vianjando horrores. Cara, este filme realmente é genial. Adorei a aula hoje. Ela fez uma relação muito foda entre cinema e literatura; e eu fiquei viajando absurdamente em tudo. Lembrei horrores de <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Pessoa" target="_blank">Fernando Pessoa</a>. Gente&#8230; adorei. Foi ótimo.</p>
<p>Final da noite começou divertida, também. Reencontrei amigas e ri bastante. =) Esta semana está sendo perfeita.</p>

<span style="color:#ffcc33;">Rock Party Time!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><big>The sensational finish to the first half of the show is their version of the famous Floyd classic (and I begrudgingly acknowledge now a Scissors Sisters ‘classic’ too)- Comfortably Numb. The light touches and the gentle imagery of this set-piece gradually build up to an earth shattering climax when Doug really comes into his own and gives the audience several minutes of truly exalted classic rock guitar. Almost holy&#8230;</big></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Não é preciso ter uma estética japonesa para um clipe ser totalmente japonês. Basta uma diretora japonesa com luvinhas à la Harajuku e um técnica de teatro tradicional japonês, mas mesmo assim não haverá gueixas nem samurais, enfim nada que lembre o Japão. Bem, a não ser que você tenha visto no YouTube um vídeo com o título de Ping Pong Matrix num programa japonês, então você vai ver que há algo de japonês no clipe <em>She&#8217;s My Man</em> da banda Scissors Sisters.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/AFzu4lvOD2g&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/AFzu4lvOD2g&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>O clipe nada mais é do que uma dança sincronizada com uma dúzia de bailarinos que não são vistos, deixando os astros brilharem. Curiosidade de como foi feito o clipe? Repare nas luvinhas da diretora. Se isso não for <a title="Harajuku por Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harajuku" target="_blank">Harajuku</a> eu não sei o que é então.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Xa8YbiLkTPM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Xa8YbiLkTPM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>A diretora no clipe é Nagi Noda. A banda encontrou-a depois de ver um outro vídeo dela de aulas de ginástica. Jake, o vocalista, descobriu quem era a diretora, fizeram contato, ela topou e a banda deu carta branca para que ela fizesse o que quisesse para o vídeo da música. Ah, no <em>making of</em> eles passam um pouquinho do vídeo dessa aula de ginástica. <a title="Mariko Takahashi's Poodle Fitness" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEf7gc1tb8I" target="_blank">Quer ver o vídeo na íntegra para entrar em forma? </a></p>
<p>A técnica usada no clipe é chamada de Kuroko. Na verdade, os kurokos são como assistentes de palco no teatro kabuki. Eles vestem preto dos pés à cabeça e ajudam a modificar o cenário. A vestimenta serve para comunicar à platéia que aquelas pessoas não possuem nenhuma ligação com a história ou o acontecimento que ocorre durante o palco. Vestir-se de preto comunica que eles são invisíveis.</p>
<p>Nos últimos anos, os kurokos ganharam um lugar no gosto popular. Num show de variedade japonês, eles encenaram um jogo de ping-pong intrigante e hilário com direito a efeito <em>bullet time</em>. Provavelmente, você já deve ter visto esse vídeo em algum lugar porque ele rodou o mundo. Mas eles inovaram e fizeram cenas de jogos de futebol, lutas de espadas e até uma briga de casal à la o clipe de Scissors Sisters, mas essa é mais divertida.</p>
