Buy “OU812″…time to revisit some of these cuts.

My dad yell at the TV and

You Keep Me Hangin’ On by Vanilla Fudge

Eruption by Van Halen- Have you ever listened to that? Geez…

Adrenaline by Crooked X

Sempre que passo em frente às livrarias e vejo nas vitrines livros como 1001 Filmes Para Ver Antes de Morrer ou 1001 Discos Para Ouvir Antes de Morrer, e até mesmo 1001 Livros Para Ler Antes de Morrer (ufa), eu fico bem… querendo morrer. Porque falando sério, é muito desesperador você amar música, literatura, cinema e saber que precisa conhecer 1001 coisas de cada antes de morrer. Sempre achei meio impossível.

Livrinho tentador

Bom, nem tão mais impossível assim. Pelo menos em relação à música. O Sétima Nota publicou em seu último post um link que disponibiliza a lista de álbuns do livro 1001 Discos Para Ouvir Antes de Morrer e seus respectivos downloads. Isso mesmo: agora eu (todos nós) posso baixar tudinho! E o mais legal disso é poder conhecer artistas e músicas “novas”. Que, mesmo antigas, eu não conhecia. E também curtir o que eu já gosto, como Metallica, Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Doors, Creedence, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Sex Pistols, Van Halen, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Nirvana… isso porque só passei os olhos pela lista até o início dos anos 90. Legal também é ver a música brasileira marcando presença ali no meio, além de bandas de rock dos anos 60 que meus pais adoram!

The Doors e seu álbum de mesmo nome estão na lista

O álbum black do Metallica não podia faltar

O Metallica, inclusive, tem mais de um álbum na lista dos 1001. Para quem quer curtir o show que a banda vai fazer no Brasil em janeiro, é uma boa conferir parte da discografia. Para acessar o link com os downloads, só passar no blog Sétima Nota, que também tem várias outras coisas legais sobre música.

Via Sétima Nota.

This Thanksgiving week, General Motors has officially ceased production of it’s Pontiac brand of vehicles as a result of the bailout by the U.S. government.  Not only could the car maker not meet it’s financial obligations but, the fact is that the car’s brand no longer had the appeal it once did and sales were declining.

The last Pontiac G-8 rolled off the assembly line in Orion heading for a fleet order rather than a museum for posterity sake yesterday.  http://www.detnews.com/article/20091126/AUTO01/911260411/Pontiac-reaches-end-of-the-line/?imw=Y 

http://www.pontiac.com/ has the official closeout information on remaining vehicles for sale with deals as low as o% financing for six years or cash back offers up to $4,500.  As a wake up call to anyone buying a car, six years is an absurd amount of time to pay off a car, especially when the warranty ends before you pay it off.

With discount offers like this across most of GM’s product line up, how they are ever going to make money, get out of bankruptcy and away from government ownership is beyond any one’s guess. 

Besides the 1000’s of job losses at Pontiac plants, NUMMI the joint venture between  GM and Toyota venture looks to be shutting its doors as well. http://www.mercurynews.com/drive/ci_13766495 From the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment by state http://www.bls.gov/web/laumstrk.htm is listed.  Like the climategate, how true these numbers are is any one’s guess.

I recall the 1978 Pontiac Bonneville that I learned to drive in.  What a tank, but it had the radio antennae built into the glass which was pretty cool.  In 1982 came the Firebird and was featured on the TV Show Knight Rider.  I never owned one, but a lot of my buddies did and it was a girl magnet.

Pontiac Fiero

In 1984,  my dad through a mid life crisis or whatever, found the Pontiac Fiero much more in the spirit of things.  What a car it was and far removed from anything on the market.  The damned things body was made of plastic!  We’ll some sort of poly-resin- that when a grocery cart hit it it bounced off with no damage.  With no USA steel to give it strength, on impact the car crumbled.  Luckily, we never crashed it but traded it it on something or another.  Might have been the Cadillac Sedan De Ville with the horrendous 4-6-8 valve engine- another GM disaster.

Our Fiero was hot red in color with every option known to man, including the fabulous sound system from Bose.  Nothing like Van Halen screaming at you at ten decibels while driving down the highway. A definite babe magnet of a car.  It made you want to live in the fast lane or at least drive in it.

Chief Pontiac, Ottawa Tribe

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Tribe must be glad to know that the spirit of the Pontiac brand of vehicles will go on- in memory at least.  He was quoted as saying, 

According to a French chronicler, in a second council Pontiac proclaimed:

It is important for us, my brothers, that we exterminate from our lands this nation which seeks only to destroy us. You see as well as I that we can no longer supply our needs, as we have done from our brothers, the French…. Therefore, my brothers, we must all swear their destruction and wait no longer. Nothing prevents us; they are few in numbers, and we can accomplish it.   Peckham, Indian Uprising, 119–20; Dixon, Never Come to Peace, 109. via  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Pontiac#cite_note-8

It didn’t turn out so good for the Indians being forced to reservations, but in the long run some tribes are probably more financially stable than the U.S. government,  thanks to good fiscal policy and casino’s.

Ironically enough, the Pontiac Silverdome was sold this month for $583,000 USD to a Toronto, Canadadian businessman. Completed in 1975 as the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, at a cost of $55.7 million, the Silverdome seats 80,311. It contains 102 luxury suites and 7,384 club seats. more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Silverdome

“While still not sure what he’ll ultimately do with the stadium, adjacent fieldhouse and 127 acres of land, Apostolopoulos said he’d like to return it to being a place that hosts football, soccer, hockey and basketball as well as concerts.  “People today like sports so we have to keep it for sports events,” he said. “Whatever they like, we’ll do.” But Apostolopoulos said the zoning does allow for the tearing down of the stadium and the building of houses, apartments or almost any other kind of construction.” http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/729769–toronto-developer-snaps-up-vacant-pontiac-silverdome

At less than $5000 USD an acre that was a good deal for any pilgrim.

Muito tem se falado nas últimas semanas sobre a vida e a morte do polêmico Michael Jackson. Amado por uns, odiado por outros, ignorado por poucos, o fato é que Michael Joseph Jackson nascido em 29 de agosto de 1958 e morto em 25 de junho de 2009 foi um grande empreendedor do mercado de entretenimento.

Não temos como negar que Michael Jackson inovou e ditou padrões internacionais no que diz respeito a música pop, vídeo-clips, coreografias, produção de espetáculos, fortalecimento da MTV, entre outros.

Vamos conhecer algumas lições de empreendedorismo que podemos tirar de Michael Jackson:

1 – Não existe idade para empreender

Jackson começou a cantar e a dançar aos cinco anos de idade, iniciando-se na carreira profissional aos onze anos como vocalista dos Jackson 5. Em 1972 aos 13 anos iniciou sua carreira solo pois era evidente o seu talento e como havia se destacado em meio aos demais componentes do grupo.

2 – Parcerias de Sucesso

Michael Jackson sempre foi reconhecido por fazer parcerias estratégicas que lhe renderam resultados espetaculares, como com o produtor Quincy Jones (uma espécie de mentor em sua carreira). Off the Wall o primeiro trabalho que lançaram atingiu vendagem acima de 20 milhões de discos.

Michael tinha talento para construir boas parcerias, tendo trabalhado junto com artistas como Paul McCartney, Slash (guitarrista do Guns ‘n Roses), Eddie Van Halen, Lionel Ritchie entre outros

3 – Independência e Auto Confiança

Graças ao sucesso em sua carreira solo aos 13 anos o astro começou a se libertar das garras do pai que o humilhava publicamente. Em 1983, vingando-se contra anos de maus tratos e humilhação Michael demite seu pai que ainda atuava como seu empresário.

No especial para a TV sobre os 25 anos da Gravadora Motown, Jackson exigiu cantar uma de suas próprias músicas, diferentemente dos demais convidados que relembraram antigos sucessos da gravadora. Ao som de Billie Jean, Michael chocou o público com o passo monnwalk, que se tornaria uma de suas marcas registradas.

4 – Busca de Oportunidades e Correr Riscos Calculados

Por várias vezes Michael Jackson investiu dinheiro de seu próprio bolso para bancar suas ideias já que algumas delas eram tão ousadas que assustavam sua gravadora. Em 1982 o disco Thriller chegou às lojas e pulverizou todas os parâmetros para medir um álbum bem sucedido. O LP chegou a vender 1 milhão de cópias por semana rendendo-lhe 140 discos de ouro e platina. Das 9 faixas que compunham o disco, sete chegaram ao Top 10 da Billboard. Thrilller vendeu 106 milhões de cópias.

4 – Inovação

Michael Jackson tem mais vendagens do que Beatles e Elvis Plesley juntos. Há três semanas do Natal de 1983 foi lançado o vídeo de Thriller, o mais ambicioso projeto de Michael Jackson. Sofisticação, duração, equipe e orçamento dignos de cinema, o clipe se tornou instantaneamente a referência máxima do gênero e um dos pilares da cultura pop. O vídeo triplicou a venda do disco e ajudou a popularizar a MTV.

5 – Crie uma marca

Michael sabia muito bem como usar algumas ferramentas de marketing. Era especialmente notável sua capacidade de criar marcas. Como Elvis Presley já era “O Rei do Rock”, Jackson resolveu batizar-se de “O Rei do Pop”. Além disso ele soube criar outras referências junto aos seus fãs como: o passo moonwalk, a luva branca em apenas uma das mãos, suas roupas, entre outras.

6 – Seja Socialmente Responsável, Retribua

Michael Jackson fez contribuições para 39 casas de caridades, além de promover inúmeras outras ações sociais. Suas músicas podiam facilmente transpor barreiras nacionais, assim como de idade e sexo.

Em 1985 ajudou a promover a megacampanha USA for África. A música-tema We Are the word (Nós somos o mundo), composta por Michael Jackson e Lionel Ritchie reuniu 44 cantores da “nata” do pop americano. Estima-se que esta ação tenha gerado aproximadamente US$ 50 milhões.

Em 2001 Michael Jackson ganhou do Guinness Book o título de artista que mais contribuiu com obras de caridade em toda a história.

Mas Michael Jackson também cometeu inúmeros erros do ponto de vista estratégico do empreendedorismo, e estes fatores causaram estragos em sua carreira, em suas finanças e arranhões em sua imagem.

Si nada se tuerce, el próximo lunes estaré viendo a una de las bandas que más me ha impactado esta última década: The Tragically Hip. Y estoy que me salgo con sólo de pensarlo. Cómo si fuese a ver a Van Halen. O a Tom Petty. O a John Mellencamp. O a Rush. Esta semana, en el bloc, caliento motores… aunque me consta que algunos de estos temas no sonarán.

Vaccination Scar, de In Between Evolution (2004)

So, the chemistry’s set
And I’m not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word
For the gang in the head
That dwindles to no members when
The mystery’s met
The sky looks threatened, heading home in the dust
Singing “life is for getting
good enough for the frivolous”

One thing I remember is
This tear on your bare shoulder, this
Little silver boulder
This slowly falling star
We’re rolling, so what
Never getting older, where the moon-shocked curtains part
At the start of enough
A tear dropped in a vaccination scar

I’ll tell you if I’m able, that is
I’ll tell you like it is
It went down like a bad card table, like

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Swimming on a bit
Stop and treading water as the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire
Burning down to embers’ end
The mystery met
The sky just-reddened, heading home under dusk
Is life just forgetting
Another word for frivilous

And little silver boulders
And silence from Mars
For the heart of enough
For a tear dropped in a vaccination scar

Wherever you are
Scar.

Well, reunited without all that cheesy drama, anyway

Seems like everyone is getting back together these days, whether for money or a shot at career closure; some are actually reinvigorated and creating viable new music. So if you are pining the loss or lethargy of a favorite band or artist, there’s hope.

(Of course, nothing would be better than the three guys in the forefront of this picture sharing a stage again. Maybe if I leave that tooth under my pillow…)

Doesn’t have to be someone on a Van Halen level. For example, Fastball thought they had taken a long enough hiatus and decided to regroup – the result was a great new record. So why not our favorites?

So here’s ten acts right off the top of my head that are dormant; I wish they were making records right now. At least I have the fruits of their labor to date to savor over and over again. If any of these are new to you, please check them out. Maybe it will make you revive a few of your own favorites.

Because that’s the beauty of legacy. It’s right there.

Redd Kross:  Congrats on the new baby and all, but come on – make an album!

Cotton Mather:  Living on in other bands, but Kon Tiki is godhead.

The Pursuit of Happiness:  Too good to be satisfied with reunions.

The Tories:  So promising. So good. What happened?

Liquor Giants:  How about Something Special for the Adults?

World Party:  This generation’s Klaatu, the homage must go on.

Jen Trynin:  Disillusioned the first time, suck it up and get back out there.

Love Nut:  Andy Bopp, put Myracle Brah aside and rock me again.

Tonio K:  I know you’re sitting on pure gold. Share it, brother.

The Montgomery Cliffs:  Joey Salvia is solo but a reunion would be magic.

Sou suspeito para falar da carreia musical de Mitch Malloy. Ele é, pra mim, dentro do rock’n roll, hard rock e afins, um dos artistas mais injustiçados de todos os tempos. Mas para a benção de daqueles que acabam por conhecer o seu trabalho, é também um dos músicos mais talentosos que o estilo já conheceu.

Se você perguntar ao Wikipedia, o máximo que terá de informação é sobre a breve passagem de Malloy pelo Van Halen, em 1996, após a saída de Sammy Hagar. Na ocasião, ele foi convidado para assumir o posto de vocalista, mas por conta de uma cagada ‘marketeira’ do Sr. Eddie Van Halen – uma dentre muitas no currículo do músico holandês – Mitch  percebeu que aquele não era o lugar ideal para se trabalhar. Aham, e esse é um dos motivos pelos quais eu, o Ogro, odeio Van Halen (desabafo mode off, Há!).

O que importa é que, além desse episódio, Malloy tem inúmeros motivos reais pelos quais pode e deve ser reconhecido como um excelente vocalista, músico, produtor e compositor. Experimente ouvir o álbum de estréia da carreira solo dele de 1992, e eu não precisarei dizer mais nada aqui. Hard rock/AOR de primeira linha!

Mas enfim, quando se achava que os trabalhos novos desse incrível músico seriam limitados a cds inéditos, eis que é lançado “Live From Rock City”, gravado ao vivo em 2008 no Firefest V. Indicado por muitos críticos como a melhor apresentação da noite, e uma das melhores de todo o festival – que ainda teve nessa edição atrações como Danger Danger, Firehouse, Jeff Scott Soto e muito mais – o show foi registrado em cd e dvd de maneira magnífica, transbordando toda a vibração tanto da banda quanto do público.

O repertório apresentado por Mitch Malloy leva qualquer fã de AOR e hard rock ao delírio. São performances irretocáveis e carregadas de muita energia de clássicos como “Mission Of Love”, “Over The Water”, “Nobody Wins In This War”, “Cowboy And The Ballerina”, “Forever” e um encerramento apoteótico com a maravilhosa “Anything At All”. Para ser realmente sincero, você não precisaria ser fã dos estilos citados para curtir “Live From Rock City”. Se a sua praia é boa música de verdade, não perca mais tempo e garanta a sua cópia.

Mitch mostra que o amadurecimento que esses 20 anos de carreira lhe proporcionaram, transformaram-no em um espetacular ‘front man’. Ao longo de toda a apresentação, ele tem o público nas mãos, esbanjando carisma e energia. A banda que o acompanha também merece seu devido destaque. Tommy Denander (guitarra), Victor Broden (baixo) e Magnus Ulfstdet (bateria) demonstram um ótimo entrosamento no mesmo alto astral apresentado por Malloy e pelo público. Melhor, impossível.

Resumindo, uma obra musical perfeita para os amantes do hard rock e AOR e da boa música em geral. Conheço um guitarrista por aí que deve se morder de ódio de si mesmo por ter deixado um talento nato como Mitch Malloy ‘escapar’. Perder playboy, há!

Dá uma olhada no trailer do dvd pra ficar com água na boca:

The last Van Halen album with the legend that is David Lee Roth on it and also the first hard rock album to use synth’s as a lead instrument. Whether you think this is a good thing or not is a different debate. Jump is massively cheesy but Drop Dead Legs, Top Jimmy and Hot For Teacher are easily some of the best songs Van Halen wrote and are even up there with the best songs of the 80’s – right next to Kim Wilde’s Kids In America

Some weird people in the office think that this is an awful album but they are wrong. Very wrong.

Best song is Hot For Teacher just for the intro.

The full album can be found on Spotify here

I realized that an older site of mine had expired and saw how many search hits this image has…

Again, the elusive male cameltoe:

Where have they all gone? I can’t quite figure it out. If you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to share ‘em. Meanwhile, enjoy this little tune, and read the first installment of a serial novel to published EXCLUSIVELY on this site, one paragraph at a time…

Verse /  Chorus 1: All my life I’ve never stopped to worry ’bout a thing / Open up and shout it out and never try to sing / Wondering if I’ve done it wrong / Will this depression last for long? / Won’t you tell me, where have all the good times gone?

Verse 2: Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same / Time was on our side and we had everything to gain / This could be like yesterday / Is that me your happy day? / 

V/C 3: Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do / Never had no money and they always told the truth / Daddy didn’t need no little toys / Mommy didn’t need no little boys / Won’t you tell me, where have all the good times gone?

V/C 4: Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play / Ah, but then let’s face it, things are easier today / Yes you need some bringing down / Get your feet back on the ground / Where have all the good times gone?

I.

Early reports of the look of terror on Jim’s face when he was discovered at the end of the street, it turns out, were grossly overstated.  Bemusement was a more fitting description, June thought.  She thought he looked like he was savoring a funny line from a movie, one of those silly early sixties farces he loved to watch, like the one with Jimmy Stewart that always made him laugh, Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation, or some such nonsense.  Hell, she remembered its name, for once.

Jim and June lived together at the end of the hill on Partridge Street, a sloping vista that ended in the far-busier Sloan Road, in a small house with a pointed roof, painted mustard brown for as long as they owned it.  Many years had passed since they first shacked up there, in the parlance of the times, which June still used more often than not, but the street had not changed much, except now there seemed to be entire schools of kids pouring out of every yard as soon as the 3:20 bell rang at the local elementary.  June’s child had attended school there for a couple of years, as had Jim’s.

For several months, an Asian border named Fu, but who went by Frank, had lived in the small, dark third floor of the house, which Jim had outfitted with a water closet three years ago.  It’s a good investment, Jim had told June, It will pay for itself and then some when we go to sell.  Every time he mentioned leaving Partridge Street, June crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out in a gesture that meant, God, when will that ever happen?  But they both knew they were there for awhile.

For a year or so, I co-hosted a radio show on WRRG 88.9FM in River Grove with my friend and bass player at the time, Brian. We were charged with spinning local Chicago bands’ records for two hours a week.

When I asked Brian what we should call the show, he immediately said, “Chicocal Locago?”

So stupid it just might work.

Well, we needed a theme song. I’d written and recorded an instrumental tune that I intended to give to my friend Mike Lust for his band, Tight Phantomz. (I imagined it as a combination of his band with Van Halen — “Tight Halen.”) Well, when I played him the demo I’d recorded (with me playing all the parts…) he politely passed.

Biggest mistake that guy ever made. Except for, you know, kicking himself in the head every night as his signature stage move…

Since the song was just lying around collecting dust, and seemed too bouncy for my band at the time, the Grackles, it became the Chicocal Locago Theme Song. Brian and I (and some heavy reverb) laid down some goofy vocals over the beginning. We left the end instrumental to provide some “bed music” for the intro to our show.

Given that the station’s broadcast radius was roughly the same distance I can spit, I’m going to doubt anyone’s ever heard this.
