LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNDERNEATH THE SYCAMORE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Lying in a field of glass
Underneath the overpass
Mangled in the shards of a metal frame
Woken from the dream by my own name
Well I was such a wretched man
Searching everywhere for a homeland
And now we are under the same sun
Feel it through the leaves
Let it heal us

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things
I know you've got a vengeful heart
And I cannot be stopped as soon as I start
But you have seen your darkest rooms
And I have slept in makeshift tombs
And this is where we find our peace
This is where we are at least

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore
We are the same
We are both safe
Underneath the sycamore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOME IS A FIRE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Diretto da Shepard Fairey and Nicholas Harmer

Sleep, sleep with the lights on
Shutter and shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise, cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
There's nowhere left to go
Watching the room tweak
Through cracks in the concrete

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

Home, home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong love
They're only so strong love

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
As yesterday

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU ARE A TOURIST/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed

This fire grows higher

When there's a doubt within your mind
Because you're thinking all the time
Framing rights into wrongs
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind
When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain
In the story you have written it's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
When there's a burning in your heart
This fire grows higher

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WILL POSSESS YOUR HEART/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound
But in a language you can't read just yet
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

THE RYKJVK AWARDS 2009

IL DISCO DELL'ANNO: IN THIS LIGHT AND ON THIS EVENING/EDITORS


PAPILLON

In tanti non l'hanno capito, soprattutto quelli che si aspettavano una replica di An End Has A Start, un po' come successe ai Radiohead nel 2000 con Kid A (oggi considerato da molti il miglior disco del decennio...), al posto del quale parecchia gente avrebbe preferito una fotocopia di Ok Computer, ma In This Light And On This Evening è un lavoro decisamente importante, oscuro e monumentalmente anni ottanta a partire dalla copertina, illustrata in stile art decò, fino ad ogni singolo suono dei brani che lo compongono. La produzione di Flood c'è e si sente, il talento degli Editors pure, e Papillon è già il nuovo inno dei dancefloor alternativi.
Tra le cose migliori di quest'anno anche Dark Night Of The Soul, il progetto di Danger Mouse con Gli Sparklehorse e l'apporto creativo di David Lynch, ed il ritorno dei danesi Mew, con No More Stories Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is grey I'm Tired Let's Wash Away.
Una menzione, infine, per i vincitori del sondaggio del blog: secondo i (pochi) lettori che hanno votato, l'album più bello del 2009 è Fantasies, dei canadesi Metric.


LA CANZONE DELL'ANNO: EAT RAW MEAT = BLOOD DROOL/EDITORS



Un ritornello straripante, di quelli che una volta ascoltati, non si dimenticano più. Dal vivo, poi, è assolutamente dirompente. Il brano che i Depeche Mode non hanno mai scritto. Ma gli Editors sì.

LA PLAYLIST DEL 2009

01. INTRODUCING PALACE PALYERS/MEW

IL VIDEO DELL'ANNO: WRONG/DEPECHE MODE (Patrick Daughters)



L'inquietante video di Patrick Daughters per il brano dei Depeche Mode, che mostra un uomo mascherato e legato al posto di guida di un'auto lanciata nel traffico in retromarcia, sembra quasi l'intro di una puntata di CSI: peccato che non ci sia stato alcun seguito, e soprattutto che nessuno ci abbia svelato il colpevole...


IL DEBUTTO DELL'ANNO: WHITE LIES


UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Come successe ad Interpol ed Editors, si sono beccati subito l'etichetta di nuovi Joy Division, ma al di là dei facili paragoni, i giovanissimi White Lies hanno debuttato con un disco di buone canzoni pop dalle atmosfere dark, accuratamente suonato, registrato e prodotto. Il che, al giorno d'oggi, non è affatto cosa da poco.


IL CONCERTO DELL'ANNO: EDITORS + THE MACCABEES + WINTERSLEEP (Roma/Teatro Tendastrisce) 03/12/09


SMOKERS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL DOORS

Quasi un'insolito quanto apprezzato piccolo festival invernale, quello che si è tenuto lo scorso 3 Dicembre al Teatro Tendastrisce di Roma: tre band di ottimo livello al prezzo (onesto, pergiunta) di una. Wintersleep, The Maccabees, ed infine gli Editors, che hanno portato sul palco il nuovo album In This Light And On This Evening con un'esibizione davvero emozionante, da cantare a squarciagola dal primo all'ultimo pezzo.
Molto bello anche il concerto dei Mogwai all'Auditorium, la scorsa estate.


IL LIBRO DELL'ANNO: LA MORTE DI BUNNY MUNRO (The Death Of Bunny Munro)/NICK CAVE (Feltrinelli)



La versione alcolizzata, lo-fi e meno chirurgica di Chuck Palahniuk: Nick Cave, alla sua seconda opera di narrativa, disegna un personaggio comune e straordinario allo stesso tempo. Bunny Munro è ognuno di noi, riflesso nello specchio, la mattina dopo una sbornia presa per dimenticare uno sbaglio.


IL FILM DELL'ANNO: BASTARDI SENZA GLORIA (Inglourious Basterds)/QUENTIN TARANTINO



La somma del cinema di Tarantino, un film sulla guerra senza neanche una vera scena di guerra, a pensarci bene, ma incredibilmente ricco di citazioni (particolarmente gustosa la battuta di Brad Pitt sui combattimenti negli scantinati...) sfumature linguistiche e dettagli feticisti, attraverso il quale il regista riscrive la storia, dando letteralmente alle fiamme il grande schermo.


LA COLONNA SONORA DELL'ANNO: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON/Artisti Vari


MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Ok, il film sarà pure roba da ragazzini, ma la colonna sonora, curata curata dal musicista francese Alexandre Desplat, è da leccarsi i baffi, anche se sporchi di sangue: dai Death Cab For Cutie ai Grizzly Bear, da Thom Yorke agli Editors, dai Muse ai Killers, tutti presenti con brani inediti.


IL DISCO ITALIANO DELL'ANNO: SOGNANDO CONTROMANO/NEFFA


LONTANO DAL TUO SOLE

Forse non sarà un'opera indimenticabile, ma l'ultimo disco di Neffa è decisamente godibile, e ricco di melodie interessanti. Ascoltate dal vivo, poi, le canzoni di Sognando Contromano assumono ancora più carattere, scrollandosi di dosso quell'aria un po' troppo leccata che purtroppo molto spesso caratterizza le produzioni del pop made in Italy.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
The sun is perched at its highest peak
In the middle of the day
Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh, darling understand
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything ends

Meet me on your best behavior
Meet me at your worst
For there will be no stone unturned
Or bubble left to burst
Let me lay beside you darling
Let me be your man
And let our bodies intertwine
But always understand
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything
Everything ends

A window
An open tomb
The sun crawls across your bedroom
A halo
A waning moon
Your last breath moving through you

As everything, everything ends
As everything, everything ends
As everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything ends

Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
The sun is perched at its highest peak
In the middle of the day
And let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh, darling understand
That everything, everything ends

ALBUM: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON (Soundtrack) (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOUL MEETS BODY/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

ALBUM: PLANS (2005)

POST-IT: NEW MOON SOUNDTRACK (E NON SOLO...)

E se il miglior album dell'anno fosse una colonna sonora? Per farsi un'idea, basta dare un'occhiata agli artisti che faranno parte, con pezzi in gran parte inediti, della OST di New Moon, secondo capitolo della saga dei vampiri di Twilight: Death Cab For Cutie (di cui abbiamo già parlato), Editors, Muse, The Killers, Thom Yorke e tanti altri ancora... Il disco, la cui compilazione è stata curata dal compositore francese Alexandre Desplat, uscirà il prossimo 20 Ottobre, giusto un mese prima dell'arrivo della pellicola nelle sale. Questa la tracklist completa:

01. MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
02. FRIENDS/BAND OF SKULLS
03. HEARING DAMAGE/THOM YORKE
04. POSSIBILITY/LYKKE LI
05. A WHITE DEMON LOVE SONG/THE KILLERS
06. SATELLITE HEART/ANYA MARINA
07. I BELONG TO YOU (NEW MOON REMIX)/MUSE
08. ROSYLN/BON IVER & ST. VINCENT
09. DONE ALL WRONG/BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
10. MONSTERS/HURRICANE BELLS
11. THE VIOLET HOUR/SEA WOLF
12. SHOOTING THE MOON/OK GO
13. SLOW LIFE/GRIZZLY BEAR
14. NO SOUND BUT THE WIND/EDITORS
15. NEW MOON (THE MEADOW)/ALEXANDRE DESPLAT



Ma quella di New Moon, non è stata l'unica soundtrack di rilievo ad essere stata svelata nelle ultime ore: il geniale regista americano Wes Anderson (I Tenenbaum, Le Avventure Acquatiche Di Steve Zissou, Il Treno Per Il Darjeeling) ha infatti reso nota la scaletta (curata dallo stesso Alexandre Desplat, che ha scritto anche le musiche originali) delle canzoni che accompagneranno il suo nuovo film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, interamente girato con la tecnica della stop motion. Tra i brani che ne faranno parte, oltre a classici dei Beach Boys e dei Rolling Stones, spicca Fantastic Mr. Fox, aka Petey’s Song, composto appositamente per l'occasione dall'ex leader dei Pulp, Jarvis Cocker. Il cd sarà pubblicato il 3 Novembre, mentre per vedere il film bisognerà aspettare il 27 dello stesso mese.

POST-IT: DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE/MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX

Giocano d'anticipo i Death Cab For Cutie, pubblicando il singolo Meet Me On The Equinox, primo estratto dalla colonna sonora di New Moon, secondo episodio della saga dei vampiri di Twilight, per la quale è stato espressamente scritto. Dell'album, in uscita il 20 Ottobre, faranno parte anche nuovi brani di Thom Yorke, Bon Iver e Muse.

ASCOLTA

Pity, take pity on me
Because I'm not half the man that I should be
I'm always turning to run
From the people I should not be afraid of
And darling, you should know
That I have fantasies about being alone
It's like love is a lesson
That I can't learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn

I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't swim
But who will dip his toe in
Just to keep you here with him

I've got this habit I abhor
When we go out, I'm always watching the door
As if there's someone I'm going to see
Who could out-do the things that you do to me

I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly
But who will take to the skies
If he thinks you're about to say goodbye

Pity, take pity on me
Because I'm not half the man that I should be
And I don't blame you, you've had enough
With all these empty promises and countless bluffs

I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't jump
When he falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge
And he waits for it to disappear again
