Law & Order

Patti Smith & U2 : Law & Oder & Spiderman - Turn Off The Dark... wtf? :D ...even more absurd than Patti Smith & her band as a support band for U2 in 2005... but then again, Velvet Underground, Ramones, Einstürzende Neubauten, Rage Against The Machine, Bjork, PJ Harvey, Public Enemy and many others did the same before...

(don't) feel good INC. / ephemeral style

gorillaz - feel good inc.

the video just perfectly fits the song. and...as only a while ago i hadn't remeber the video quite well, the feeling of the song has been present all those years. and now seeing this video again and actually watching it and finally reading the lyrics i found out that it perfectly makes sense and that it actually absolutely fits my feeling and thoughts of the song.

the chorus 'windmill windmill for the land...' - creates this fantasy world - ideal world image - or just that 'feel good' for a person. the place i've been looking for and still am. the place i had somewhere in my head from the childhood. some land where i could escape.

and now as i look back on it and thinking back on the time when i first heard this song, the memories are slightly flashing back.....like how i'd dream of this place.. on an island in the air...alone...in the sun... out of the real world.

and thinking about the lyrics, sounds, music and the whole composition of the song, it just completely makes sense. the music perfectly reflects all the feelings, the messages and thoughts of the author. the cranky and deformed out-of-tune guitar echoeing after the main riff that is heard just when you listen carefully symbolise the deformed values, wishes and needs, then the beat in the verses with the bass perfectly correspondends with the every day routine, that always continues after every other little moment of dreaming, sleeping or any other form of escaping from the reality and takes you right back into the 'cruel' and gloomy life. the style of the singing, the whispering in the back and the rapping pushes the whole idea of the song even further. and then there's of course the already mentioned dreamy atmosphere of the chorus. last but not least....just listen to the lyrics...even when you don't understand, the 'ha ha ha haa' at the very beginning of the song and also at the very end of the song says it all. and sums it up. quite a sad song it is...



so let's search for our own personal 'feel good inc.' search & destroy. false ideals.

Hahahahahahahahaha,
feel good

city's breaking down on a camel's back.
they just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
so all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
you wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
you've got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style.
a melancholy town where we never smile.
and all I wanna hear is the message beep.
my dreams, they've got to kiss, because i don't get sleep, no..

windmill, Windmill for the land.
turn forever hand in hand
take it all there on your stride
it is tinking, falling down
love forever love is free
let's turn forever you and me
windmill, windmill for the land
is everybody in?

laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
lining them up-a like ass cracks,
lay these ponies at the track
it's my chocolate attack.
shit, i'm stepping in the heart of this here
care bear bumping in the heart of this here
watch me as i gravitate
Hahahahahahaa.
yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound
you're in the place
you gonna bite the dust
can't fight with us
with yo sound
you kill the INC.
so don't stop, get it, get it
until you're Jet Ahead.
yo, watch the way i navigate
Hahahahahhaa

feel good, AHHHHahahahah

don't stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady,
watch me navigate,
Ahahahahahhaa.
don't stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady, watch me navigate
Ahahahahahhaa.

feel good, AHHHHahahahaha
feel good

GORILLAZ SPEAK OUT ABOUT NEW VIDEO

The brand new video for 'Feel Good Inc' is here now for you to see. The band have been very busy making it - 2D and Murdoc speak out for the first time about excess and hedonism, exactly what the video's about and what really happened on the shoot...

2D: I think Gorillaz built a tower around themselves that they couldn't get out of. Of excess and hedonism. The video is based on this feeling. For a while it was great to be on the inside, but the party's got out of hand. It' s become like the Last days of Pompeii….a…er…Sodding Gommorah. The Feelgood Inc Tower represents this. The palace we built has become a prison. In the video I'm just waking up from this year-long hedonists dream, and I realise that maybe… the fruits of success have turned sour.

Noodle is outside of the Tower, in the pale morning-after light, sitting on the edge of this floating island. And you can see she knows what's happening. But people have to wake up to it themselves. So that's what the video is about; being trapped by the things you make, and realising everyone else is caught up in it. Using it. Just…they need their party to continue, to keep this thing afloat. The Tower of Babel.

Murdoc: Apart from the obvious thing, which is my gyrating hips, the coolest thing about the video would be the the hydraulics on this gig. Just for the windmill section alone cost about 3.5 million pounds. That's sterling. We had to buy a small island, make a mold of it and then scrape out all the insides. When that was done we filled the whole thing full of helium. Using the motor from the windmill we managed to get the thing to float, but it was an absolute bugger.

This young man …

"This young man … is expressing himself with such tenderness it is enough to break my heart. He calls to the audience. They call back … He is directing a choir. They are the choir … I can't recall ever having seen anything like it in my life … Out of the hours of Live Aid that I saw by the end of the day, the high point was witnessing the magic of U2. They moved me as nothing else moved me."

- JOAN BAEZ watching U2's performance at Live Aid

Gay Pride 2011/Bratislava/Dúhový Pride/04.06.11

Oh, Vienna

Pred pár mesiacmi som si na internete prečítala, že Patti Smith bude vo Viedni. Na last.fm mi napísal Anton z Drážďan, že či som to ja, lebo že si pamätá môj nickname a že či idem. S Antonom sme si vymenili na úplne inej platforme pár mailov asi 4 alebo 5 rokov dozadu a odvtedy sme si nič nenapísali a nikdy v živote sme sa nevideli. Ja som odvtedy bola v Drážďanoch niekoľkokrát, Anton zatiaľ dokončil školu, stihol žiť nejaký čas v Mníchove a neskôr sa presťahoval do Viedne. Dohodneme sa, že na tú Patti Smith vo Viedni ideme a že sa tam stretneme.

Vo večerných hodinách v deň, kedy sa začal oficiálny predpredaj lístkov, ma však prekvapil správou, že je úplne vypredané. Ja som lístky samozrejme tiež nemala. Tak sme sa bavili, že teda možno na Dum Dum Girls alebo Esben And The Witch alebo že možno v Bratislave niekde niekedy. A uvidíme, čo s tou Patti. Mne žiadny zo spomínaných koncertov nakoniec nevyšiel a po zlyhaní všetkých možných spôsobov ako dostať lístky na Pattin koncert, som sa zmierovala s tým, že nejdem ani tam. Minulý piatok sa však na Facebook stránke divadla Burgtheater objavil status (ach, tie facebooky, myspacey a last.fmká), že sa uvoľnilo pár lístkov na predaj. Okamžite som napísala Antonovi, snáď si to stihne prečítať včas. Ja som na to už kašľala (ale nie tak celkom, asi 5x som už mala lístok v košíku a ďalší krok bol už definitívne zaplatenie), no po commente od Geša a správy od Antona, že má lístky, som nakoniec neodolala a klikla na „kaufen“. Yes, v pondelok sa ide na Patti Smith!

V pondelok bol krásny deň. Do Viedne som sa dostala síce až večer a vlak mal 20-minútové meškanie, ale vôbec mi to nevadilo. Strašne rada mám tu cestu vlakom do Viedne. Električkou som sa previezla cez centrum až k Burgtheater. Po vyzdvihnutí lístka som mala ešte asi trištvrte hodinu čas, tak som sa poprechádzala po okolí, zjedla pizzu, posedela v parku......okej, stačí. Niečo mi to začína pripomínať. O ôsmej je už pred a v Burgtheater kopa ľudí, stretávam sa s Antonom a jeho kamarátkou Babsi. Bolo to strašne milé stretnutie, skoro ako keby sme sa všetci traja poznali, a to už celkom dlho. Zakrátko ale ideme dnu do sály, dohodneme sa, že dáme pivo po koncerte.

20:39. Na pódium prichádzajú nie punkovia, ale štyria slušiví pánkovia a Patti. „Hello everybody!“ Na tvári mám úsmev a v očiach takmer...

Viedenské Burgtheater je druhé najstaršie divadlo v Európe. Krásna a majestátna historická budova je dnes večer zaplnená tými najrôznejšimi ľuďmi – boháči, umelci, básnici ulice, pankáči, stratenci, kokoti aj vedci, starí, mladí, všetci. Tento koncert bol avizovaný ako "An evening of music and words with Patti Smith plus Lenny Kaye and Tony Shanahan“, no na moje potešenie vidím na pódiu okrem piatich akustických gitár aj klavír a bicie. To znamená, že dnes to nebude „len“ akustické trio v zložení Patti, Lenny , Tony, ale zahrajú aj bubeník Jay Dee Daugherty a ďalší gitarista Jack Petruzelli.

Okrem zopár najznámejších pesničiek vôbec neviem, čo čakať, navyše sa Patti v prvých minútach, ako inak, ak nie s úsmevom na tvári, priznáva, že je chorá a že jej hlas dnes večer zrejme nebude v najlepšej forme. Po šiestich úžasných a zároveň úplne iných koncertoch som bola veľmi zvedavá, čo to bude tentokrát a opäť sa mi v hlave ozývali aj isté pochybovačné hlasy, či som radšej nemala ostať doma, veď to už predsa lepšie byť nemôže. Nemôže. Ale to, čo sa malo udiať v nasledujúcich 97 minútach, zahnalo všetky pochyby na míle ďaleko.

Patti srší humorom, medzi pesničkami kašle ostošesť, usmieva sa, tancuje, vtipkuje, rozpráva príbehy, párkrát si odpľuje ako to má vo zvyku (bez ohľadu na miesto, kde práve je), kloktá čaj(!), hrá na gitare a spieva. Zvuk v divadle je krištáľovo čistý, kapela v najlepšej forme, atmosféra je po celý večer skvelá, priateľská a dovolím si povedať až rodinná. Bariéra medzi umelcami a publikom už od začiatku neexistuje, no Patti aj napriek tomu niekoľkokrát počas večera zoskočí medzi divákov, tancuje, tlieska a podáva si s nimi – s nami ruky. Lenny Kaye sa zatiaľ pri mikrofóne strieda s Tonym Shanahanom. Spievajú pesničku People Who Died od Jima Carolla pre Jima Carolla. Spieva sa o mŕtvych, ale snáď najveselšie z celého večera. Spomína sa aj na fotografa Roberta Mapplethorpa (Pattinho partnera a dlhoročného priateľa, pre ktorého s manželom Fredom ‚Sonic’ Smithom napísali pieseň Paths That Cross) a na experimentálneho divadelného a filmového režiséra Christopha Schlingensiefa, ktorý práve v Burgtheater pôsobil.

In My Blakean Year začína niekoľkominútovou improvizáciou o meste Viedeň: okrem toho, že je Viedeň krásna, aj o radiátore Ludwiga Wittgensteina, o počúvaní Mozarta z jukeboxu, o Freudovom dome, o vražde Moritza Schlicksa a o tom, že má Viedeň najlepších skladateľov, ale nie Jimiho Hendrixa. Okrem vtipných výstupov, vynikajúceho muzicírovania členov kapely a spontánnych reakcií publika, k vrcholom večera patria pesničky Birdland, Southern Cross a Pissing in a River. Koncert sa blíži k záveru, nasleduje Gloria a Patti už počas prvých tónov a veršov strháva doteraz sediace publikum natoľko, že všetci vstávajú a mnohí sa hrnú dopredu priamo pod pódium. Je to krásny pohľad: ľudia v oblekoch, šatách, starý pán, čo (naozaj!) ledva stojí energicky gestikuluje a spieva, o kúsok ďalej podnapitý mladík v roztrhanom oblečení spieva do mikrofónu s Patti. Seriózne divadlo je odrazu na nohách. People Have The Power dnes večer nezaznie. A ani nemusí. Ako prídavok tentokrát zahrajú Rock‘N’Roll Nigger. Verzia s akustickými gitarami ani trochu nepostráda elektrinu. Nasleduje podanie si rúk s divákmi a je definitívny koniec.

22:16. Odchádzam s úsmevom na tvári a nie som sama. Ak si stále myslíte, že viedenské publikum je nudné, choďte si pozrieť Patti Smith. Je úplne jedno v akom priestore to bude. Ako sama večer povedala – nie je Maria Callas, ale…. no veď uvidíte.

Z koncertu sme všetci traja nadšení. Noví viedenskí kamaráti ma potom berú do maličkého útulného indie-alternatívneho klubu Clash pár zastávok električkou od Burgtheater. Anton je na bicykli, tak nás čaká na zastávke pri klube. Ako sa dozvedám, Babsi študuje divadlo a médiá a cestou mi rozpráva o Burgtheater, čo-to viac o Christofovi Schlingensiefovi, o tom, že akurát píše diplomovku (a že by tu vôbec nemala byť – aká to zhoda náhod!) a o kluboch vo Viedni. V klube sa stretávame s ich ďalšími dvomi kamarátmi. Je tu prázdno, hrá samá dobrá hudba, po stenách sú plagáty uskutočnených koncertov….David Bowie, Bob Dylan, nejaké domáce kapely a mnohé ďalšie.

Anton mi rozpráva o viedenskej scéne, o drážďanskej alternatívnej scéne, o umelcoch a hudobníkoch, o pouličných festivaloch a ich histórii tam, o robení koncertov, a o mnohých ďalších veciach. Bavíme sa o Morrisseym, Iggy Popovi, M.I.A., ale aj o Dire Straits a Catovi Stevensovi (obľúbenci jedného z ich prísediacich priateľov). Rozprávame sa o Bratislave a o tom, že sa sem chystajú prísť na bicyklový výlet. Ani neviem(e) ako, ale zrazu prešli 2 hodiny a ja si uvedomujem, že ledva-ledva (ne)stíham vlak. Strašne rýchlo sa lúčim s Babsi a ostatnými, Anton berie bicykel, ja utekám na električku, no tá mi pred nosom – tesne pred stlačním tlačítka na otvorenie dverí – uniká. Ďalšia ide príliš neskoro.

Plán B je rýchlo nájsť bicykel na požičanie a uháňať. To sa podarí fakt rýchlo a nočná jazda po Viedni na bicykloch je skvelá! Žiaľ posledná električka mi aj z ďalšieho stanovišťa ušla pred tromi minútami. Ostáva už len taxík, ale to vôbec nevadí. Ešte bol aj o dosť lacnejší, ako mi šofér povedal na začiatku. Sadám si do vlaku pár minút pred odchodom, zapisujem si dojmy a teším sa. Doma po vyše týždni konečne zaspávam na viac ako 2 až 3 hodiny za noc. Tak zas niekedy nabudúce, Viedeň! Veď si tak blízko…
