Tried to do a Spotify arab collection.....but no Laila Mourad, or Um Khalthum, or much Abdel Halim Hefez on spotify yet......so it's bolstered with some random classical stuff - but then, it's all orchestras sitting down, right?

Talking of which - found out this week about the old Baghdad music school for blind children - hence the shaded musicians in arab orchestras, the prevalence of which I could never understand. I (offensively?) assumed it was just 60's iraqi hipsters being 60's iraqi hipsters...though they were that too, of course....

attempting to express the anger and disgust most humans feel for the institutions that have failed to serve the needs of all but a few of the human beings of this planet. 
Now yet those same institutions demand that we bail them out and in so doing sacrifice our own and our children's chances of a reasonable and safe financial future.

I was very sad to hear the news of Adam Yauch's death yesterday.
We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and v smart guy. May he rest in peace.

Radiohead - Rain Down Fan Project - Multicamera - Rio de Janeiro - 03/30/2009 - Brasil from Andrews Ferreira Guedis on Vimeo.


"Thank you so much Austin, for your patience, for your affection in this project"





Trailer:



Matéria no Estadão. 07/09/2009


Matéria no Popload


Pois bem, fim do papinho inicial, corte para o agora. Finalmente ficou pronto o espetacular “Rain Down”, uma recriação do show do Radiohead em março deste ano em São Paulo através de sincronização de áudios da aprespedaços de imagens filmadas por fãs aleatórios que gravaram trechos do concerto em seus celulares ou câmeras amadoras e depois postaram no Youtube. “Rain Down”, idealizado por um fã paulistano da banda de 22 anos, o Andrews Ferreira Guedes, a partir da atitude mais banal na música hoje (gravar shows e postar na sequência no Youtube), virou um DVD virtual que é um projeto colaborativo entre fãs brasileiros do Radiohead extremamente bem editado (ainda que cheio de imagens toscas, que no caso viram “artsy”) e de som bom que remonta toda a inesquecível apresentação da banda de Thom Yorke na Chácara do Jockey, zona sul de SP.

Ao jornalista e chapa antenado Alexandre Matias, do importante caderno “Link”, do “Estado de S.Paulo”, Andrews contou que não levou câmera à Chácara do Jockey. Mas que assim que pisou em casa na volta do show foi ao computador para já procurar no Youtube vídeos da apresentação filmados pela galera. “Quis aproveitar a empolgação pós-show juntando vídeos que apareceram na internet para uma edição multicâmera da música ‘Paranoid Android’. Depois disso fui bombardeado com perguntas sobre a edição de outras músicas. Nunca tinha pensando em fazer um projeto desses, apenas editava vídeos de shows da minha própria banda - a Refink.”

“Rain Down” tem recriado, então, todo o show de São Paulo, de 26 músicas (de “15 Step” até “Creep”), extras do show do Rio de Janeiro (cinco canções, incluindo “Air Bag” e “No Surprises”) e uma grande galeria de fotos.

O projeto levou pouco mais de cinco meses para ficar pronto, do dia do show, 22 de março, até a data de seu “lançamento virtual”, dia 31 de agosto

Em cada uma das canções do show de São Paulo, Andrews burilou cerca de 15 vídeos de pessoas diferentes para montar o vídeo final. Todos os “pedaços” tirados do YouTube estão creditados no DVD, que tem até trailer.
O DVD “Rain Down” não vai ser colocado à venda nem vai virar produto físico, a princípio. Sua circulação será gratuita e pela internet.

Você encontra instruções para baixar o “Rain Down” no blog do DVD.


http://colunistas.ig.com.br/lucioribeiro/




Matéria recente:

"Os álbuns "Amnesiac", "Hail To the Thief" e "Kid A" ganham edição especial no final deste mês. No início do ano, outros três discos da banda já haviam sido relançados em versão especial: "Pablo Honey", "Beds" e "OK Computer".

Mas é coisa de colecionador mesmo, pois cada álbum - que sai por U$ 31,00, mais ou menos (sim, esse preço é em dólares) - vem recheado de versões alternativas, vídeos promocionais, vídeos com performances veiculados na TV (a participação no "Later... With Jools Holland"), além das canções integrantes do repertório original. O lançamento é da EMI/Capitol.

Se sua conta corrente não permitir, há outra opção de material diferente da banda. É o projeto Rain Down que ficou pronto.

Para quem não conhece, o Rain Down é um vídeo não oficial feito por um fã da banda, o web designer Andrews Ferreira Guedis. Ele colheu, editou e colou vídeos feitos por fãs nos shows que a banda realizou em São Paulo e no Rio, em março deste ano, e está lançando (bem, de certa forma) um DVD. O endereço do site do projeto é radioheadraindown.blogspot.com

Na época em que Andrews começava o projeto, conversamos. Segue trecho do papo:

Em algum momento você se preocupou com o fato de fazer algo que é considerado ilegal?

Andrews: Não me preocupei. Existe uma comunidade mundial que sempre fez isso, os famosos "bootlegs" que sempre filmaram shows e colocaram a disposição dos fãs para download, eu apenas me espelhei nisso.

Seu projeto é algo que há poucos anos seria impensável...

Andrews: Eu sou dessa nova geração. Eu acredito que a união através da informação é a base da internet, é o que torna ela o que é hoje, que é indispensável. Sem ela eu não seria o que sou. Muita gente não possui condições de ir num show que custa 200 reais, ou de repente não poderia estar lá, eu acho que muita gente deve estar muito feliz em rever o show de sua banda preferida assistindo aonde puder. Cada vez mais teremos o crescimento do que vemos hoje, unindo entretenimento, tecnologia e arte, e eu fico muito feliz que todo tipo de pessoa e classe social pode estar tendo acesso a tudo isso.

E Andrews termina a conversa com um recado:

Eu não quero ferir nenhuma lei. E muito menos estou me beneficiando comercialmente disso. O Radiohead é famoso por ser uma banda anti-gravadora e por lançar um álbum que a pessoa paga o quanto quiser. Eu apenas faço parte dessas novas idéias."

http://territorio.terra.com.br/blog/redacao/?c=20263

Uma mega iniciativa do fã Andrews, ele esteve no show do dia 22.03.2009, aqui em São Paulo, revendo os momentos pelo you tube, especialmente o vídeo de Paranoid Android, se emocionou com a manifestação da galera cantando em coro "rain down, rain down,come on rain down on me,from a great high",tendo Thom Yorke como backing vocal, teve a idéia de juntar os vários videos feitos por fãs num projeto ousado, multicâmeras, imagens captadas de câmeras de celular . Assim que estiver finalizado, postaremos tudo, várias prévias foram registradas nos veículos da mídia, algumas delas estão aqui, confira:

Metrópolis - Projeto "Radiohead Rain Down"

Chooooo choooooooooooooo

Things always happen for a reason. You fall off a train because it’s going to crash into a brick wall in several hours. Instead of breaking your whole body and dieing in a pool of blood you break your arms and cry out in pain.Small price to pay for the painful end.But it’s never easy to willingly jump out of a perfectly well maintained machine. I mean are you crazy?Of course you aren’t? But you wanna live don’t you? What’s few broken bones to a long drawn out death?I am not making any sense am I?No, of course not. But the important thing is that I know what I am talking about. It’s me, and the voices in my head. We all make sense to one another.I am on that train right now. I can jump off now, or I can dig out the pliers, the wrench, and the duct tape that I keep in my purse and fix this before my train comes crashing against the wall. Even then there is no guarantee that it wont crash again. Or I can hold on tight and ride it for as long as I can, and then say “Not afraid of the possibility of pain.” And if for some reason I come out alive from the crash I can be alive to tell my grandkids what a daring stuntwoman I truly am.In all reality, this isn’t my train to stop. I mean it is. But my seat is incredibly comfortable, the view is amazing, the likelihood of an accident is evidently possible. But I want the scars. I want the scars so that I can say I survived it. Because when I point out my experience, I can say that I wanted to be a coward, and I wanted to run, but I chose to be a hero and I stayed.In all reality, this must be one of the most confusing entries I have ever written. But only one person knows what it truly means. And I am just going to keep it at that.I am not running the show. I am taking the back seat and marveling at the scenery. Because in the end, regardless of the outcome, I have a positive “experience”. One way or another. ( I would much rather it be one way than the other), but its not my decision to make.

Jonny's June 24th Office Chart

What did you all think of Jonny's office chart. Pretty cool stuff. Liked Bartok since I was a wee one. Glad to see Jonny recognize him and Penderecki of course.Not much heard in 'popular' music, but I did hear Frank Zappa on Mothers day in '73 or 4. In the middle of "Yellow Snow" , the band actually started playing Bartok's 3rd (?) Piano Concerto. Blew my socks off. Started yelling "hey, that's Bartok, that's Bartok !" All of my fellow stoned "freaks" just looked at me like I was crazy : ) Almost could hear him them thinking , 'Man you're stupid ... that's Zappa, who the hell is Bartkok ?'Actually saw him [Zappa, not Bartok... I'm not that old : ) ] going on stage and was close enough for him to hear me yell "Happy, Mothers Day, Frank". He gave me one of his notorious looks of extreme contempt. Something I'll always enjoy remembering that day and that look.Folks: if you do not wish to receive political commentary or commentary about patient rights please notify by message and I'll do my best to not bother you.Bronson

This was one of the truly memorable days in my own personal music experience. The sun shone fiercely for most of the afternoon and then dark clouds gathered to give a spectacular backdrop for the lightening and thunderstorms which gave us a heavy shower at one point. None of this dampened our spirits.I want first to mention some of the other bands we saw as I would have bought tickets on the strength of any one of these.It was a fantastic lineup. We were at the main stage from the start with the warm up acts doing their job, but the main attractions started with The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde was in fine voice.I loved Seasick Steve's music the first time I heard it - true bluegrass perfection. Actually seeing him perform was a privilege. It can only be tough life's experience that produces music that authentic. How he gets the sound he does with guitars that look as if their on the way out I don't know.Ben Harper & Relentless7 are new to me. I listened to a few tracks before we went to see what he sounded like; I have to admit that I was hoping for him to be a bit rubbish so we could take a break and stretch our legs, but we knew we would be staying put. The man has a great voice.FLEET FOXES - What can I say? The band sing such difficult close harmonies live with such perfection that it takes your breath away. You have to go back to the Beach Boys for anything similar, but Fleet Foxes lyrics are meatier, darker and more thought provoking. I loved White Winter Hymnal - Its a wonderfully sweet melody which disguises a pretty dark story. They sang most of their album and also Mykonos from their Sun Giant E.P. which went down well with the crowd. There were also a couple of new songs which I didn't catch the name of; the next album is sounding promising if they are a little sample of it.All this great music was the lead up to the legendary NEIL YOUNG. The man is a music genius. He played a brilliant set1. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)2. Mansion On The Hill3. Are You Ready For The Country?4. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere5. Spirit Road6. Words7. Cinnamon Girl8. F*!#in' Up9. Mother Earth10. The Needle And The Damage Done11. Comes A Time12. Unknown Legend13. Heart Of Gold14. Old Man15. Down By The River16. Get Behind The Wheel17. Rockin' In The Free World---18. A Day In The LifePlenty of old classics. I loved that when Neil asked if there were "any alcoholics out there" there was a great roar of 'yes' and he followed it with Spirit Road. The set was rounded off with Rockin' In The Free World which like all his songs he didn't seem to want to finish playing; neither did the crowd and then....the encore - A Day in the life - an Beatles classic often played in the set. It looked good on the telly coverage of Glastonbury and I was hoping he would play it for us too.In Your Face Glastonbury. He did with a surprise guest. Paul McCartney appeared to accompany the band to the amazement of the crowd. He sang along and at the end joined in Neil Young's ritual tinkling of the xylophone.Macca was doing bows to Neil Young in an 'I am not worthy' style and the two obviously enjoyed the collaboration as did the audience.After all the great music we had seen earlier Neil Young and his band rounded off the evening in style. It will take a while to think like a normal human being again after all that.

It must be done

An inherent fear of being selfish has shaped a severely skewed existence. How far is too far to bend in the wrong direction, and who's to say which is the wrong way? I have found these times to negate the usual course of things in my life. A, more than determined, third party has twisted the norm and rendered me unimportant, for now. I am grateful for this change. Whatever torturous course of action is taken, it is I that will suffer gladly for every extra moment.Yet, in suffering for this cause, I must ignore the life I built and those who love me may not understand. I have sent away the beautiful distractions to concentrate on the task at hand. I am sad and broken, but this is all I can do. There is no decision to make, for there is no real choice. Whatever reaction, whatever possibility, I will trudge through it all for the possibility of time. How am I supposed to just give up and let things be. Am I to let one suffer to humor the other? It is an impossibility. An extra month, or week, or day or minute can mean the difference between a fighting chance and a broken beginning. The latter is not an option, not if I can help it. So injections of man-made concoctions and happy accidental side-effects of breathing shots, pills that barely work as directed, and regular trips to confounded professionals are my lot in life for as long as it takes to make this a success story.However, history and impatience are working against me. Regaled with daily horror stories, I cannot find peace. I have been lucky in the past, but doesn't luck always run out at some point? That is my fear, that I cannot change the inevitable. With closed eyes I see the future. Depending on my mood, the outcome changes. I have never needed perfection. I will take what I get and run with it and be happy for what I get. Whatever the outcome, we will all be fine, even stronger...maybe. It is not in me to give up when the fight is not my own. I'm not fighting for happiness or positive outcomes, for I have no control over the end result. I fight for time and I will fight to the death for every second I can offer, for every minute or day or week. I fight because I must, because only I can. I fight because that is all I can do.

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) R.I.P.From Los Angeles Times:[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.][Updated at 2:46 p.m.: Jackson is in a coma and his family is arriving at his bedside, a law enforcement source told The Times.Jackson was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.Fire Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home at 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and took him to the hospital, Ruda told The Times.[Updated at 2:12 p.m.: Paramedics were called to a home in the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. Jackson had rented the Bel-Air home for $100,000 a month. It was described as a French chateau estate built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater.The home is about 2 1/2 miles, about a six-minute drive, from UCLA Medical Center. An earlier version of this post incorrectly described the time to travel between the home and hospital as two minutes.]The news comes as Jackson, 50, was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.In May, The Times reported that Jackson had rented the Bel-Air residence and was rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.His backers envision the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could ultimately encompass a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could wipe out Jackson's massive debt.—Andrew Blankstein and Phil Willon

The Torturous Wait

Every time the head turns something new is foundEach speck weighs heavily, infinitely more than the lastImmobilized by the lack of thought or wondermentNumbness begins in body and culminates in a foggy mindSuffocation under the thought that there is nothing elseYanked out of grasp yet slammed on the shouldersThe weight is cumbersome, yet born gladlyAll that can be done is doneTime tells all, yet does not always healRelaxing is not an option and trying highlights the failure to do soIt will come to an end soon enough

Domingo

Desde que soy pequeña los domingos han tenido un cierto simbolismo en mi vida.Algo tienen que nos asustan o encantan.A mí en lo particular no me gustan mucho; es decir, no los odio a muerte pero no es algo que me fascine.En estos últimos años, los domingos son el día en que no salgo. Me quedo en casa a limpiar mi cuarto o simplemente a relajarme. Es el día en que veo películas...por ejemplo.Sin embargo, aunque esto pareciera genial, a mí me llegan a deprimir. Me hace sentir incómoda.....la idea de no salir...como que me aburre. Y para mí el aburrimiento es una de las peores cosas que hay.Por otro lado si miramos las referencias culturales que el domingo tiene, nos podría a llegar a llamar la atención.Hay una parte en una película que me encanta: "The Diving bell and the butterfly" donde el personaje principal, Jean-Dominique habla sobre lo que los domingos significan para él:-Los domingos....¿por dónde empezar? El domingo...no me gustan, por que....es el día en que no hay visitas, terapias, médicos....no hay nada.Los Domingos. Los domingos eran el día en que la Condesa recibía visitas y hacían bailes esplendorosos....en los pasillos de lo que ahora es un hospital- y ahí sigue el relato del genial Jean-Do.Jean Dominique Bauby que se propuso escribir un libro, aunque fuera con su papárpado izquierdo.Pero bueno, no nos devíemos. Seguimos con las referencias culturales al Domingo:Hay muchas canciones con la palabra "Domingo". "Sunday" de Sonic Youth, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" de U2, sólo pongo esas dos por que me encantan pero de seguro que debe de haber muchas más de las cuales no me acuerdo ahora.En el caso de la segunda, el cantante de U2 se refiere a la terrible matanza de Derry, Irlanda; un domingo donde miles de jóvenes fueron matados por el ejercito británico, pues los chicos que protestaban pacíficamente aquel día en Derry, a favor de sus familiares que habían sido injustamente encarcelados por el gobierno, ya que se les culpó de ser miembros del IRA (Ejercito repúblicano irlándes provicional, por sus siglas en inglés).Bono sintió que debía de hacer algo para llamar la atención a aquel terrible incidente.La de Sonic es precisamente sobre la melancolía y soledad que alguien puede llegar a sentir por una persona.Cada vez que veo esas referencias no me siento tan sola en los domingos.....y ¿ustedes?
