LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER/ATOMS FOR PEACE




Don't worry baby
It goes right through me
I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse
Thin persecutors
Your twisted whispers
A horned reptile that is crawled upon the earth
I went for my usual walk
Just tell it like it is
Tell it like it was
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury

When darkness follows
And no tomorrows

It's all been decided
All spies deceptive
All bouncing voices down the echo chamber

I went for my usual walk
I went around the block
I just can't talk or reason with my executioner
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury

Been wasting trails
You talk in layers

I went for my usual walk
Don't worry, laugh about
Just can't talk or reason with my executioner
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury and executioner
Judge and jury
Don't worry, baby
It goes right through me
I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying

Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
All the rules but still

Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken

Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOTUS FLOWER/RADIOHEAD





I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want
Do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it is
Just to see what it is
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away
Do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I set you free
I set you free

Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it
Just to see what it is
Take the lotus flower into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flower
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

You really messed up everything

Your early messed up this time

All the good times

THE RYKJVK AWARDS 2011



IL DISCO DELL'ANNO: LET ENGLAND SHAKE/PJ HARVEY


ALL AND EVERYONE

L'ottavo album della musicista del Dorset è un disco che vive di contrasti: testi dolorosi incentrati principalmente sul tema della guerra dispiegati su melodie folk, aritmiche (The Glorious Land, la splendida All And Everyone), a volte quasi scanzonate (The Last Living Rose, The Words That Maketh Murder). Un atto d'accusa e d'amore allo stesso tempo verso la propria terra, e più in generale riguardo i tempi bui che viviamo, con tutta la classe e l'intenstità di Polly Jean Harvey.

I risultati del sondaggio:

1. LET ENGLAND SHAKE/PJ HARVEY (28%)
2. THE KING OF LIMBS/RADIOHEAD (23%)
VELOCIRAPTOR!/KASABIAN (23%)
4. FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST/GIRLS (9%)
SMOTHER/WILD BEASTS (9%)
WOUNDED RHYMES/LYKKE LI (9%)
7. I AM VERY FAR/OKKERVIL RIVER (1%)
VIOLET CRIES/ESBEN AND THE WITCH (1%)
9. BUILD A ROCKET BOYS!/ELBOW (0%)
HARBORED MANTRAS/WATER BORDERS (0%)
SKYING/THE HORRORS (0%)
THE FUTURE IS MEDIEVAL/KAISER CHIEFS (0%)



LA CANZONE DELL'ANNO: CODEX/RADIOHEAD



Basterebbe quell'attacco con la voce leggermente roca di Thom Yorke per innamorarsi di questo pezzo al primo ascolto, senza contare il giro di pianoforte, semplice ed eterno, ed il testo, una piccola elegia, magnetico e rassicurante.

IL VIDEO DELL'ANNO: LOTUS FLOWER/RADIOHEAD



L'irresistibile danza scomposta di Thom Yorke nel video diretto da Garth Jennings è piaciuta così tanto che in rete sono addirittura spuntati dei tutorial per imparare i passi del balletto. Della serie come essere la più grande band del pianeta e riuscire comunque a prendersi poco sul serio.


LA COPERTINA DELL'ANNO: VELOCIRAPTOR!/KASABIAN (Aitor Throup)



Da un album che si chiama come un dinosauro ci si aspetta una copertina capeggiata da un enorme lucertolone preistorico, ed invece nel progetto grafico ideato dall'illustratore argentino (ma inglese d'adozione) Aitor Throup non c'è traccia di enormi animali estinti. Tuttavia il grido ancestrale che si percepisce dalle figure neanderthaliane ripetute agli angoli dell'immagine riesce perfettamente nell'intento di comunicare la forza primitiva del disco, nonchè la vena psichedelica della musica dei Kasbaian. Un capolavoro.


IL DEBUTTO DELL'ANNO: ANNA CALVI



La minuta artista anglo-italiana fatica a trovare scarpe della sua misura (pare porti addirittura il numero 34) ma non certo consensi, tanto che la stampa specializzata britannica l'ha subito eletta a nuova PJ Harvey, e non è un caso che Nick Cave, che Polly Jean la conosce bene, l'abbia scelta per aprire i concerti dei Grinderman.


IL CONCERTO DELL'ANNO: PRIMAL SCREAM (Auditorium Parco della Musica/Roma) 22/07/11



Già di per sé i Primal Scream che dopo vent'anni suonano dal vivo per intero Screamadelica, disco simbolo degli anni '90, sarebbe un evento. Se poi ci mettiamo che i fan sul finire dello show fanno invasione di campo (pacifica) costringendo alla resa gli uomini della security e regalando ai posteri una versione memorabile di Rocks, la data romana del tour della band scozzese diventa addirittura leggendaria.


LA COLONNA SONORA DELL'ANNO: SUBMARINE/ALEX TURNER



Uscita in punta di piedi, quasi come un prologo del quarto album degli Arctic Monkeys, Suck It And See (tanto che la ballata Piledriver Waltz ci è finita pari pari dentro), la colonna sonora della pellicola indipendente britannica Submarine rivela un Alex Turner più intimista e minimale, ma di certo non meno ispirato della versione leader della band.


IL DISCO ITALIANO DELL'ANNO: WOW/VERDENA





Dopo quasi quattro anni di silenzio, i Verdena tornano con un disco ambizioso, complesso, forse fin troppo lungo, ma di sicuro coraggioso ed intraprendente, impreziosito dal singolo di anticipazione Razzi Arpia Inferno e Fiamme, uno dei pezzi in italiano (seppur non comprensibilissimo) più belli degli ultimi tempi.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHAT GOES AROUND/PHILIP SELWAY





I've been going round in circles
I've been trying to work you out
Look at you so complicated
Playing games and planting doubts
Cut me up in conversation
Roll your eyes and cross your arms
There you go your always missing the things
That are best left in the past

Do you sleep well at night?
Do you cry in the night?
Do you sleep well at night?
Or do you
Do you lye awake and fret all night?

Save your best face for the weekend
Save your smile and your conscience too
Does anybody know whats happened in here?
Well in time they'll see through you
So I've been going round in circles
I've been trying to work you out
Look at you so complicated
Playing games and planting doubts

Do you sleep well at night?
Do you cry in the night?
Do you sleep well at night?
Or do you
Do you lye awake and fret all night?

What goes around, comes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around, comes around
Oh, sleep tight
Oh, sleep tight
Oh, sleep tight
Oh, sleep tight
Oh, sleep tight
Oh, sleep tight
