Добрый кусок месяца прошел под знаком Grateful Dead. Воображение, основываясь на названии «гурта», рисовало когда-то: напряженная злобная музыка, нечто вроде предшественников Моторхед. Вышло смешнее – нежный софт-рок типа Америки, с ритм-н-блюзовой основой глубоко-глубоко. Я не ошибусь сильно, наверное, если обзову это дело саус-роком, т.е. музыкой американского юга?
Музыка с колоритным территориальным клеймом, с атмосферой. Небанальность многим вроде стандартным композициям придают сверхудачные гитарные дела. Именно. Хороши соло-импровизации Джерри Гарсии; заурядное обретает смысл и драйв. Не будь этого, не было бы ничего оригинального. На этом и стоим. Пока. До следующего переслушивания. А когда оно случится, бог его знает.

1995年の夏、
ジェリー・ガルシアが死んだことを
デッドが「みんな」の「特別な」バンドであることを
私は常盤貴子のラジオで知ったのだ。

当時アイドル女優だった常盤さんの
突然の、真摯なデッド語りは
(彼女はデッドのショウを体験している)
私にはものすごく印象的だったんだけど、
両者のファン層が重ならないためか
この放送を聴いたという人が周りにいないし、
ネットで検索しても全くひっかからない。

あれは幻だったのだろうか..。


Grateful Dead - Uncle John's Band

I’ve just passed my first year on Lastfm. There are two great things about it – discovering new music and sharing it with other people (thanks for all the shouts in the past 12 months guys).

This got me thinking about other ways I’ve discovered music down the years. Here’s how I got into some acts that have stayed with me down the years (and a few I've left behind):

My older brothers handed down tapes led me to The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and The Moody Blues.

Borrowing from public libraries got me into Pere Ubu, The Velvet Underground, The Doors, Dory Previn and Bob Dylan.

Listening to Capital Radio in the late ‘70s, especially Nicky Horne and Peter Young led me to: John Cooper Clarke, Ian Dury, The Specials, Bruce Springsteen.

Friends mixtapes, especially in the ‘80s, gave me: Julian Cope, Magazine, The Monochrome Set, Marillion

From John Peel in the ‘80s I got too many to count but he’s where I first heard: The Fall (of course), Shop Assistants, Half Man Half Biscuit, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nirvana, Ivor Cutler and John Fahey

Festivals and support slots have always held their surprises and led to my first encounters with (amongst others) Phranc, Robyn Hitchcock, Grandaddy and Tricky

These days, it’s BBC 6Music who’ve given me: Howling Bells, LCD Soundsystem, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, Hot Chip.

And on to Lastfm: Grateful Dead (OK, I knew who they were but I’d never sat and listened), Okkervil River, TISM, Oingo Boingo, Al Stewart and who knows what next.

I can't wait to find out

it's 6 months since one of the most irritating trolls has been banned. and it seems now that epic lulz are gone with the new lastfm so let's all have a moment of silence in rememberance of the great persona he was!

I miss you MrWInczakos :(

ps old lastfm sucked.

ps2 new last fm sucks.

ps3 will there be another mighty troll just like him and R.I.P. Octember (also known as Strictly Diesel) and Pagan_Winter (also known as - too many names, cant remember them all)? who knows. maybe someday.
