John Cale / Lou Reed - Songs for Drella

Ok, i'm back :) Nine month is not so much time, i'm little bit (b)older, i had strange days and happy days, like every ordinary human being. Actualy, i quit my blogging, because higher force "killed" all my rapidshare and mediafire links, and i'm not Don Quixote at all. So, new scheme is very airy, online listening..... :)
And today's post? Pure magic based on opposite, i mean, Reed and Cale, i'm not sure, but they are not so much in love :) And what we got? Naturally, explosion. Musically, sometimes very beautiful, sometimes very wild, very minimalistic and very filled sound. Thematic, this is story about Worhol, 15 short observations. Don't read books about him, everything is here, lot a space to think about Andy's character. I always was against taking knowledge from books exclusively, i'm more into making my own picture based on my experience and some crucial information. And "Songs for Drella" is just that, crucial information.
So, if you are fan of Pop Art (i'm not) this is certanly must have. But thing is, this is much deeper, story about great personality and about unique view of the world, told from a very intimate perspective. Andy said in 1968 "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" This obviously became true, but in that time fame was reserved only for very strong individual, and that is what he was.

Robert Wyatt - Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard

Robert Wyatt is very strange person, that's for sure. First time when i heard him, well, it sounded very crazy for me :) And in the same time i was fascinated. It was like cartoon, but most serious cartoon in the world, deeply emotional music.
Don't miss Wyatt in your life :)

Bob Dylan - Time out of Mind

Well, summer is almost over, so I'm back :) And since I'm getting older, I have to say, I am more conservative, it is a natural way, it seems. So, today's post is a classic - Bob Dylan. When we talk about Dylan all we hear is a bunch of annoying platitudes, protest poet, blowin in the wind, '60s ... something like that. And the reality is far from it, Dylan was very much alive in all of our present, in different ways, and it is an insult to put it in such narrow limits.
So, from me to You, Mr. Dylan, the year is 1997, and his timeless album "Time Out of Mind." Thematically, this is a lament about the ghosts of love, with a half-dozen great rock mid-tempo songs, just the way I like. 
So, if you find yourself in this, or maybe you have love problems, here you go, suffer or enjoy with Dylan, whatever you prefer :P

Royal Trux - Accelerator

It is very strange and beautiful record, in the same time straight rock, alternative too and most of all very noisy. We can say that nature is constantly turn of the road. Well, in that case this is very natural record and if you are not too civilized (and i am not saying this as a disadvantage), Royal Trux is part of your tribe, long-lost brothers, maybe :)

Mark Lanegan Band - Bubblegum

I like this Mark Lanegan album very much. Why? It is typical Lanegan, gloomy, little bit more rock than others. And I like gloomy and i like it when rocks :) There is also one of my favorite singer, P.J. Harvey and his longtime companions from Queens of the Stone Age. And beside that, I like how it sounds.Very primitive sound, muddy, like LP's. Perhaps, I am most attracted with this raw ambient. Lanegan was part of many great music through the years, his talent was obviously recognized. So, there is many chances you already hear this voice. But, if you aren't, here it is..

Lanegan is somewhere on tour right now. So, maybe you can review concert if you like, or give some impression, it will be nice, why not :)
