Cheap flights (with subtitles)

in a library listening to the magician's of a private one. Holly Miranda.

Holly Miranda played yesterday at the Westminster Reference Library and rocked it out.

The atmosphere was great, even though the audience wasn't participative as i wish they would, but, hey, we are in England, right?

Holly's voice is captivating and charming, the sound she and Timmy Mislock create with guitars is dark and grunge-ish enough, Will Carl Cameron on bass and David Jack Daniels complete the set. Big fat full rock band in a library. Awesomeness.

I was lost in world of sound and dreams.
Check out Holly Miranda's first album: The Magician's Private Library. Worth it.

Best soul gig i've been to: Joss Stone

She's only 23yo, but she owned it.

Yesterday at Shepherd's Bush Empire i was really looking forward to see Joss Stone perform, but, honestly, didn't know what to expect.

I knew she has a great voice (and, boy, she does! there was almost no effects on her mic!). I remember when everybody was talking about her: she was 17 and her single Fell in love with a boy was stuck in my head.

Other then that, I went to my favorite music venue in London thinking that it was going too be a good music night, but i was ready for a commercial version of soul music.

Glad to say: I was sooooo wrong!

Joss Stone and her band are simply amazing!
From soul to reggae they drag you in the loop and you can do nothing but move, dance, shake and smile. They are happy on stage and so are you!

Joss even talked on the phone to a fan's friend. "Hey, hi Sophie, I'm a bit busy right now...". Sweet.

My opinion doesn't count much... but hey, this gig gets ***** out of 5! :)

It was fun.
But I don't like the ad, that you can watch here.
The atmosphere was much much more beautiful then what the ad shows... personal opinion, of course.

shut up and sing

Chi conosce le Dixie Chicks?
Io non le conoscevo fino a stamattina.
Non amo la musica country, cosa me ne poteva fregare delle Dixie Chicks?!? Nulla.
Poi leggo che il 10 marzo 2003 una dichiarazione della cantante del gruppo, Natalie Maines, durante il concerto di apertura del tour, al Shepherd's Bush Empire, Londra, suscita incredibili critiche nei media americani.

La frase è questa:

Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas

Siamo a pochi giorni dall'invasione dell'Iraq da parte degli USA.
il Texas è la patria della musica country.
il Texas è una delle regioni più patriottistiche (non patriottiche, patriottistiche, vogliamo dire nazionalista?) degli Stati Uniti. d'America.
Le Dixie Chicks arrivano da lì. Sono patriottiche, fanno musica country.

Ora guardatevi il documentario:

Shut up and sing

io mi sto ancora chiedendo come sia possibile che la gente non sappia ragionare con la propria testa?
quando si è frustrati e arrabbiati è più facile essere incanalati (incoraggiati?) verso una determinata direzione, così si creano le masse e i pecoroni che seguono senza pensare 5 minuti con senso critico.
per fortuna non tutte le persone e nemmeno tutte le masse (nemmeno quelle statunitensi) sono così.

Della carriera delle Dixie Chicks me ne frega una cippa (musicalmente parlando e con tutto rispetto), ma per questo pezzettino di storia di cui sono artefici e vittime, un po' della mia simpatia se la sono guadagnata.

Favourite quote:
a proposito del cartello con la sigla FUDC.
Natalie: «I almost said: We love all your signs, but what do have against Dick Cheney?!?»
