LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DO IT WITH A ROCKSTAR/AMANDA PALMER & THE GRAND THEFT ORCHESTRA

Diretto da Wayne Coyne ed Amanda Palmer

Now I lay me down to sleep
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Knowing what's the price of leave?

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Do you wanna smoke till our throats are sore?
Make out and then talk and then make out some more?
Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you get drunk and stay the night?
Do you wanna know all the things I do
Where I'm all alone and thinking about you?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do it

Do you wanna go back home?
Your animals are all alone
And there's a chicken waiting on the stove
And your cousin left his DVD of Swinging In The 70s
And do you wanna go back home?
Check your messages and charge your phone
Are you really sure you wanna go?
When you could do it with a rockstar
Do it with a rockstar?

Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Fine in a minute

I don't want your body just a part to listen to INXS
All the practice in the world
Won't get me good at loneliness, less
loneliness, less, loneliness, less, less, less, less

Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna fight?
Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
Do you want to see all my cavities?
Talk about the crisis in the Middle East?
Do you wanna get really terrified?
Th'icecaps are all melting and we're gonna die
Do you wanna cry?
I can make you cry
Do you wanna hit me baby one more time?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you? Do it

Do you wanna go back home?
Your animals are all alone
And there's a chicken waiting on the stove
And your cousin left his DVD of Swinging In The 70s

And do you wanna go back home?
Check your messages and charge your phone
Are you really sure you wanna go?
When you could do it with a rockstar
Do it with a rockstar?

Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Wait, wait, wait
I'll be fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a minute
Fine in a minute, fine in a minute, fine in a

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW YOUR FACE/THE FLAMING LIPS AND AMANDA PALMER

Erykah Badu si è tirata indietro. Amanda Palmer invece ha il pelo sullo stomaco, e non solo li.



Diretto da Wayne Coyne

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies, my love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time, my love
And last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU MORE/SOKO

I will never love you more than the drummer of Flaming Lips
I will never love you more than Woody Allen movies
I will never love you more than the White album of the Beatles
I will never love you more than god only knows

I will never love you more than DVD's night with my girlfriend
And we talk about stupid things like feelings and men
I will never love you more than my boyfriend when I was 14
Even if he's now an asshole, I will never love you more

And you say, you love me more than everything
And compared to me everything is nothing

I will never love you more than meeting Paul McCartney
And we asked him to play a song on my ukulele
I will never love you more than my scandinavian tour
Which was more than paradise, I wish you remember it too

I will never love you more than dancing to Phil Spektor
I will never love you more than my Casiotone keyboard
I will never love you more than Daniel Johnston himself
For me he's more than god, I will never love you more

And you say, you love me more than everything
And compared to me everything is nothing

Ohh this is sweet, I just wonder what it means

You say you love me more, than all the girls you have had before
Even more than music, even more than yourself
Even more than everything, but it's just a lie
So I will never love you more, than anything

I will never love you more than singing in the shower
I will never love you more than my Mac computer
I will never love you more than having a daughter
I will never love you more than peanut butter

I will never love you more than kisses all day
I will never love you more than cuddles all night
I will never love you more than kissing girls lips when they're really pretty

I will never love you more
I will never love you more

ASCOLTI: DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL/DANGER MOUSE AND SPARKLEHORSE

ASCOLTA

Che la EMI, tra le major, sia quella che di internet, del file sharing e delle potenzialità della rete ci ha capito meno (praticamente nulla) di tutte, questo già si sapeva: non a caso i Radiohead, proprio dopo aver lasciato senza rimpianti la casa discografica britannica, pubblicarono in rete (gratis, o quasi) In Rainbows, dimostrando all'industria musicale che nell'era del web si può fare benissimo anche da soli. Questa volta, invece, a farsi beffe delle Electric and Musical Industries, sono gli Sparklehorse: dalla collaborazione tra Mark Linkous e Brian Joseph Burton, al secolo Danger Mouse (ideatore del progetto Gnarls Barkley e produttore, tra gli altri, di Beck), nasce infatti Dark Night Of The Soul, concept album ricco di collaborazioni eccellenti, arricchitto dall'artwork del regista David Lynch. Ma alla EMI, questo incontro di grandi personalità artistiche deve aver messo paura, al punto che, esattamente come aveva fatto qualche anno fa con un'altra iniziativa di Danger Mouse, il bootleg The Grey Album (irriverente mash-up tra il White Album dei Beatles ed il Black Album di Jay-Z), decide di andare per vie legali, impedendo l'uscita del disco. Un vero peccato, devono aver pensato Linkous e Burton, che hanno deciso, con una trovata decisamente geniale, di mettere comunque in vendita la parte visuale di Dark Night Of The Soul, ovvero il libro di foto scattate da Lynch, insieme ad un cd vuoto, da masterizzare sul pc di casa: tanto in rete, si sa, le canzoni si trovano facilmente... Il libro è caro, 50 dollari (ma c'è chi dice che ne valga la pena), ma per 10 verdoni si può avere il poster, sempre corredato da un CD vergine. Ecco quindi che il gioco è fatto: chi lo vorrà potrà comunque ascoltare questo lavoro, con buona pace invece di chi, nel grigio isolamento dei piani alti della City, mantenendo un atteggiamento bieco ed indisponente nei confronti delle nuove possibilità di distribuzione della musica, finirà per rimanerne (giustamente) travolto. Fin qui la storia, una sorta di Davide contro Golia dei giorni nostri, della forma di questo progetto. Ora, perchè no, due parole sul contenuto: probabilmente il miglior disco uscito quest'quest'anno, almeno fino ad adesso. Il folk-rock degli Sparklehorse, impregnato del talento dei Flaming Lips (la splendida ballata Revenge), di Julian Casablancas (Little Girl), di Iggy Pop (Pain), di Nina Persson (Daddy's Gone), di Suzanne Vega (The Man Who Played God), e scandito dai ritmi di Danger Mouse, diventa epico ed evocativo, alternando momenti di cupa durezza ad altri di toccante intimismo, pur mantenendo costantemente un'atmosfera oscura ed intrigante, tanto che sembra di vederle, le immagini di David Lynch, scorrere sullo schermo della mente. Un po' come era accaduto, più di dieci anni fa, con Psyence Fiction degli UNKLE: nonostante dietro ad ogni pezzo ci siano voci e storie diverse, il risultato finale è un'unica, omogenea, compatta sensazione di insieme.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: REVENGE/DANGER MOUSE AND SPARKLEHORSE FEAT. THE FLAMING LIPS

Pain
I guess it's a matter of sensation
But somehow
You have ways of avoiding it all

In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part

Cause you can't hide
What you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you've sought
The path of revenge
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more that it hurts me

Strange
It seems like a character mutation
Though I have all the means
of bringing you fuckers down
I can't make myself
To destroy upon command
Somehow forgiveness
lets the evil make a loss

No you can't hide
What you intend
It glows in the dark
Once we become
The thing we dread
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it backfires
The more it backfires
The more that it backfires
