Desmod is a Slovak rock band from Nitra and was founded in 1996. The former lineup is completely different from the current one and they have played genres including pop and pop rock. Nowadays, Desmod is one of the most popular Slovak music groups.”[Wikipedia.org]

Ei bine, dat fiind ca e vara si stau pe laptop, pentru ca e prea cald pentru desktop, sunt in cautare de muzica noua. Am dat astazi peste Desmod/Zober ma domov prin cineva. Melodia e buna, enjoy. Intre timp eu mai fac niste damage estetic pe laptop cu pahare de apa si alte zgarieturi :(

Vesti bune pentru studentii nostalgici dupa anii din scoala generala. Umbla vorba prin popor (via dob.ro) cum ca Limp Bizkit se reuneste pentru un nou turneu (kids, can you say we’re out of money to buy crack, hockers and dumb cars) si ca pe lista ar fi si Arenele Romane. Hmmm 6 ani intarziere.

In alta ordine de idei, blue mood tonight, asa ca Citizen Cope ft. Santana/Sideways. Apropo de concerte si muzica buna, o sa avem si Santana vara asta. Nu e rau.

No talk today

“dc Talk was a prominent Christian rock/Rap band, partly responsible for the rise in popularity of the Contemporary Christian music genre during the 1990s. The band has been on hiatus since 2000. Since then, the members of the band have been pursuing solo careers. The band, originally named DC Talk and later stylized as dc Talk, was formed in the late 1980s in Lynchburg, Virginia by Toby McKeehan, Kevin Max Smith, and Michael Tait. It began as a hip hop group, but in the mid-90s changed their musical style to more of a pop rock sound. In both instances, they found critical and commercial success in both the Christian music industry as well as the general market.[1]” [Wikipedia]

Works for me; not very talkative today.

Stiu nu am mai postat de mult. Aseara am fost la un concert organizat pro bono pentru o fetita cu ceva probleme de sanatate. Mai multe detalii aici si aici si aici. Numai cuvinte de lauda. In total s-au strans 33.000 lei. Clubul a fost cam plin, si muzica buna. Habar au deschis concertul. Perfect necunoscuti pentru mine, au fost o surpriza destul de simpatica. Solistul e castigator de Megastar, as fi stiut daca m-as uita la televizor. Bassistu parca e Unchiu Oase din Familia Adams (poate era lumina de vina). Iar chitaristu a avut o mortiera cu confetii pregatita in varful chitari pentru un moment frumos. By the way, chitara tipului de la voce a fost si ea simpatica. Next, Parazitii. Ok, nu e genul meu preferat. In final, Vita de Vie si, din pacate, prea tarziu pentru mine. Fumul prea mult s-a dovedit a fi kriptonita mea. Mosh piturile au fost sacaitoare. Despot a fost genial. A se urmari pana la final mai jos. Despot rulz

The Automatic, (also known as The Automatic Automatic in the U.S. and Canada after the band were faced with legal action from another act under the name of Automatic[1]), are a Welsh based rock band.

Tipi sunt destul de tari. Au sustinut o campanie in UK – ‘Bollocks to Poverty”. Au avut un incident la un concert la care li s-a cerut sa faca playback, incident care s-a lasat cu un cameraman usor invinetit. 50 cent don’t do that.

“”Steve McQueen” is the first single from Welsh rock band The Automatic’s sophomore album This Is A Fix. It is their fifth single overall. The track began radio and video play as of July 7, 2008.[1]

Nu ma pasioneaza sportul. Dar am o slabiciune pentru sporturile cu motor. Iar Formula1 e regina sporturilor cu motor, cel putin pe 4 roti. Cu alte cuvinte, nu ma intrebati de F1, i will nerd out on you.

La prima vedere, Formula 1 se rezuma la niste dementi care se invart in cerc. Foarte adevarat, insa daca privesti mai aproape… masini de 800 cai din 2.4l aspirat normal, sume imense de bani ($24 mil doar pentru a inscrie o echipa), un pic de pericol, fete frumoase, locuri exotice, viteza. Visul oricarui adolescent. Si se pare ca in fiecare an in jur de 83 milioane de adolescenti urmaresc o cursa, 580 milioane pentru tot sezonul 2005. In perspectica, singurele evenimente care mai atrag o audienta asa de mare sunt Jocurile Olimpice, Europenele si Mondialele. Si ele sunt o data la 4 ani. Nu e o surpriza sumele care se platesc pentru a avea numele companiei pe o masina care merge in medie cu 170 km/h, in cel mai rau caz, pe un circuit lent .

Asa ca Formula1 e o forta imensa de promovare. Siteul Formula1.com ofera in fiecare joie de dupa o cursa un filmulet cu highlighteurile cursei, imagini care nu prea apar la TV plus o melodie misto. The Automatic au intrat pe sub pielea celor din redactie se pare. Prima aparitie a fost cu ocazia Marelui Premiu al Germaniei – Monster. GPul Belgiei a adus ultimul single, Steve Mcquin. Alternativ britanic at it’s best. Rezultatul pentru The Automatic? 1mil+ de viewuri pe YT pentru videoclip, searchuri pe google. Cu alte cuvinte, un al doilea succes dupa lansarea din 2006 din UK, cand a urcat pana pe #4 in UK Singles Chart.

Pink Floyd founding member and keyboardist Richard Wright died on Monday following “a short struggle with cancer” at the age of 65, according to a note posted on the official Pink Floyd website.”[Wired.com]

Pink Floyd were an English rock band from Cambridge. The band initially earned recognition for their psychedelic and space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd were known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music’s most successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide[1][2] including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone.[3] Pink Floyd influenced progressive rock artists of the 1970s such as Genesis and Yes;[4] and contemporary artists such as Nine Inch Nails [5] and Dream Theater.[6]” [Wikipedia]

Richard Wright a fost claparul trupei, si unul din compozitorii ei. Chiar daca nu a vazut la fel de mult lumina reflectoarelor, Wright a avut o contributie foarte mare la ce a fost Pink Floyd. Si cum The Dark Side of the Moon a fost capodopera lor, merita mentionat ca Richard Wright a compus “Us and Them” si, in mod ironic, “The Great Gig in the Sky“.

Trebuie sa spun ca “The Dark Side of the Moon“, in ochii mei, e cel mai bun album rock EVER. A supravietuit 14 ani in Topul Celor Mai Bine Vandute Albume din US. O schimbare a regulamentului a facut ca The Dark Side of the Moon sa coboare de acolo. De asemenea, e al treilea cel mai bine vandut album ever in US. Toate recordurile astea dovedesc ca nu sunt singurul care vede lucrurile asa. “The Dark Side of the Moon” e genial din toate puctele de vedere. Melodiile experimentale si versurile cu aroma filosofica. Temele melodiilor. Artworkul simplu. “The Dark Side of the Moon” e un album despre viata.

Desi as fi propus “The Great Gig in the Sky” pentru seara asta, Time (live – pentru ca pot) va fi proprunerea mea. E o favorita mai veche. Insa, The Great Gig in the Sky il puteti considera ca pe o tema pentru acasa, impreuna cu tot albumul “The Dark Side of the Moon“.

Bruce Dickinson e vocea din spatele Iron Maiden. E vocea buna din spatele Iron Maiden, desi e impropriu spus din spatele Iron Maiden. Anyway, anyhow, pe 7 august (ieri pentru ca e trecut de miezul noptii) a fost ziua lui. Bruce e una din cele mai recunoscute voci ale New Wave of British Heavy Meta de acum 30 de ani, dar si una din cele mai bune. A dus Iron Maiden departe, asa ca a hotarat sa aiba o cariera solo, scurta, si foarte ok, cu exceptia unui cover dupa Bohemian Rhapsody cantat alaturi de o soprana. Nu cel mai reusit cover,ok , dar, hei, e doar parearea mea. Pune mana si asculta ca sa-ti faci o parere documentata.

“Like singers such as Joe Elliot, Freddie Mercury, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, and many others, Bruce is known for a tenor (high range) singing voice. Dickinson, always noted for his broad range as a singer in comparison to other Iron Maiden front-men, was nicknamed, “The Air Raid Siren,”[5] for much of the 1980s. In the early 1990s he altered his singing style, becoming more guttural and raw presumably to fit the stripped-down rock sound of albums like No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark. After leaving Iron Maiden, he varied his singing style, from the theatrical style of “Tears of the Dragon,” to the raw bluesy style of “Inertia.”

Since returning to Iron Maiden, Dickinson has experimented with his voice, adopting a soft reflective sound for songs such as “Journeyman, ” and “For the Greater Good of God,” a raw rock style for songs like “Wildest Dreams,” and a style much like Genesis era Peter Gabriel on “The Legacy”. However, he mostly uses the high-pitched, melodic vocals that he used in the 1980s.” [Wikipedia]

La 50 de ani ai lui, Bruce inca face spectacol si s-a vazut la Bucuresti. Asa ca: Burce Dickinson – Tears of the dragon live, pentru ca poate, la Sao Paulo, Brazil. Enjoy.
