farewell. goodbye 2011

farewell. goodbye ep 2011

2011 is disappearing slowly.
it`s about time saying thank you for being around and staying with us through thick and thin in difficult and of course just fine moments. i have to say this on a very personal harebrained day. on a day my familiar circumstances weighed down with sorrow. on a day my beloved grandad hasn´t enough energy coming back to life again. on a day of mourning. so this little farewell-goodbye compilation 2011 isn`t only for closing 2011, it is also in remembrance of much-loved people which haven`t a chance stepping forward through 2012. keep them and especially their lives in loving memory forever as we all should do.

advent advent 24th dream on levitating

"put me to sleep"

"stop to complain, turn your head around
restrain yourself and then you die
did you tell your friends how much you missed ‘em all?
how great is living a brand new world!
and it’s hard tonight for em to talk
is too late, the pie is over, and i really need to go

would you do something for me,
do something for me?
would you put me to sleep,
put me to sleep?

this headache i have is riding … over my brain
didn’t find my shoes and the night is about to end
and i think of loss, of boys and girls
i need your love, i hope you mind…"

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. what an extraordinary wallowing dreampop from porcelain raft aka italian-born brooklyn-dwelling mauro remiddi. wow!

advent advent #16th wave your worries, cares, goodbye

"renn weg von all deiner langeweile,

renn weg von all deinem hurentum
und schicke deine sorgen und achtsamkeiten davon,

es bedarf nur einer entscheidung, viel mut,
eine kleine vision, um deine sorgen und achtsamkeiten davon zu schicken"

placebo
"slave to the wage"

run away from all your boredom
run away from all your whoredom and wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

all it takes is one decision
a lot of guts, a little vision to wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

it's a maze for rats to try
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die

sick and tired of maggie's farm
she's a witch, with broken arms to wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

it's a maze for rats to try
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
burn away
run away

retrospective 2000-2011.

irresistible live-magnet. definitely one of my favourite tracks of placebo. you never even don`t lose sight of one´s own placebo-big bang on `black market music`. as it were some kind of entrance card into a world with more harmony feelings i crashed into an outstanding "slave to the wage" a little bit later i guess and i knew from first listening what to expect from that kind of otherworldly tunes on placebo`s third record which changed my mind of meaningful musical output completely.

even if it seemed a long period of time - eleven years ago - i`m still emotionally going strong. what posh music was on it! but since there i have had some time-limited experiences as a wage slave person. but i`m still runing away from boredom and trying to wave worries and cares, goodbye!

advent advent #15th protect what you love

radical face
"welcome home (reprise)"

almost everybody has been involved with a well-known advertising find. even i have observed it on tv commercial, but as music lover i knew the whole lp before for sure. after listening enough material, it seemed quite clear, that ben cooper and his musical combatants weren`t really be good to leave their mark on masses with a further controllable pop-example. it was kind of a one-time story. i already enjoy that track, but i`m feeling more comfortable by knowing that radical face`s world is furthermore. and it is widely more.

and for that matter i`ve founded in between, that even yonder song `welcome home, son` appears in a much more meaningful version - some kind of subtle sublime lofi-nugget of the first water. on its own a primary intoned paino intro rings terrific and not of this world. i`m pleased for that fact all the more. here it is, on december, 15th. such as adequate. protect what you love!

"too real"

...

does it feel too real
when everything you've learnt to love seems to change?
does it feel too real
when everything you love to fear seems the same?
...

2001-2011.

in reminiscence of a forgotten brilliant heavily dragging song pearl on brmc`s first appearance about 10 years ago. beyond dispute with touchable deep lyrics about unique life circumstances.

including two above via bandpage)


"more than letters"
"atlas hands demo"
(i prefer the demo even more than the orginal
`cause his voice is kind of stronger to the fore)

a man called benjamin francis leftwich. for several reasons i have focussed my ears on the york-based guy. first of all i heard some talented folk-voice in connection with an unobstrusive but subtle precision grounded arcade fire "rebellion" recovering i couldn`t expected.

fortunately he later fell into my hands again. in great anticipation on the basis of an intimate evening session in february 2012 at the unhurried atomic café in munich music lovers will be able to listen to his live abilities in the near future. currently he`s being annouced as an optimally well-oiled stage opening for ben cooper and his accompanying music friends - widely known as radical face. together with their marked-down folk-/indieopop sound fogs both bands are going to give proof of their unbelievable talent of never dying soulmates for sure. tactile, temperate, melodious. music lovers, please take place!

as kind of further auditory foretaste that will do...

excuse me, i have a question...

sharon, oh sharon!

new york based singer-songwriter sharon van etten will release her third album "tramp" in february next year. "serpents" is the first single-release, which blow my mind not only by this song but also by the b-side "mike mc dermont". it's craggy like the breakers and dinky like a chocolaite-crossaint...
