LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VENUS IN FURS/THE VELVET UNDERGROUND





Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl-child in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin speak so slightly
Severin down on your bended knee
Taste the whip in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl-child in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

POST-IT: BECK'S RECORD CLUB



BECK'S RECORD CLUB/THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO

Manca un solo tassello del puzzle, e poi The Velvet Uderground & Nico, il primo dei dischi del progetto Record Club, con il quale Beck, assieme ad un manipolo di amici fidati (Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Giovanni Ribisi, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Yo, Chris Holmes e la cantante islandese Thorunn Antonía Magnusdottir), intende rileggere alcune pietre miliari del rock registrando tutti i pezzi in una sola sessione, sarà ultimato. Negli ultimi due giorni, infatti, l'eclettico e prolifico (contemporaneamente sta lavorando anche alla replica acustica di Modern Guilt) musicista americano ha pubblicato sul suo sito ufficiale le cover di I'll Be Your Mirror e The Black Angel's Death Song. Aspettiamo quindi European Son per completare l'album, mentre in rete si parla già di Evol dei Sonic Youth ed Oar di Skip Spence come possibili nuovi capitoli del Beck's Record Club: si accettano scommesse...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SUNDAY MORNING/BECK'S RECORD CLUB





Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
