Kaiser Chiefs - Kinda Girl You Are

Artist: Kaiser Chiefs

Song: Kinda Girl You Are

Album: The Future is Medieval

Year: 2011

"I first heard you on the radio and felt my heart explode, no other choice, I heard a voice and fell in love with you..."

"Then I saw you in a centrefold, you were looking cold, in just an artfully positioned piece of mistletoe..."


*A COMMENT: To me, it is a kick in the balls when artists re-release their albums with bonus tracks or some new feature, different from the original release. Why is it a kick in the balls? Because some fans, like me, buy the CDs when they were first released and then when the "Deluxe Edition" comes out six months later I feel incomplete and somehow used... I've already bought the CD, and truth be told, I'm not going to buy it again 6 months later for 3 new songs or whatever, nor am I going to buy those songs on iTunes, I like to have physical copies, a CD, but now I can't... Instead I'm going to download it, for free...

If you're going to put out in the market a standard and deluxe edition at the same time, it's fine with me, in fact I appreciate that gesture, that way I can have a choice and most likely I will buy the deluxe edition, I've always like those, that is a way of rewarding a fan, a listener... I feel the same way about 'Greatest hits Cd's'... A true fan already has your CD's, hence the songs of the 'Greatest Hits', but it turns out it contains 2 new songs, oh crap! and you can guess I'm not buying those either... If you're going to release a Greatest Hits album at least do it with a bonus CD containing B-sides or rarities, or something that's actually appealing (not 2 new songs, oh wow) and that truly rewards the fan instead of giving him what he already has with a tiny dose 'here fucker, it shines, have fun while we profit'...

I undestand those are marketing strategies to gain more fans, to reach new niches, hence increase sales and stuff and that sometimes artists does not have a saying due to contractual issues with their label, but then again, they still benefit from those sales, what I'm trying to say here is reward the fans by giving them a little respect and the chance to choose, that will show the kinda band you are.

Album: Yellow Submarine
Year: 1969

"Sheepdog, standing in the rain, bullfrog, doing it again, some kind of happiness is measured out in miles, what makes you think you’re something special when you smile?"


*A QUICKIE: I realized I hadn't posted song by 'The Beatles' and right know this one is stuck in my head... The ending (well, the whole song) is priceless, when the barking starts and they go crazy, it seems they had fun recording this... Oh boy, were they prolific in their active time!

Michael Andrews - Mad World feat. Gary Jules

Artist: Michael Andrews
Song: Mad World
Album: Donnie Darko Soundtrack
Year: 2002

"All around me are familiar faces worn out places, worn out faces, bright and early for their daily races going nowhere, going nowhere..."

"And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had, I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take when people run in circles, it's a very, very mad world..."

*A COMMENT: Just in case you didn't know, this is originally from 'Tears for Fears'. This cover is a much slower version, which gives, in my opinion, a more appropriate mood to the lyrics, which are kind of depressing. I don't know, I kind of imagine a really sad toddler which is distressed with the idea of being surrounded by people, maybe he is an introvert and is kind of scared, but as he grows up, to the point were he is a teenager, he realizes that the world is really crappy, and in a way that makes him feel at ease, as that justifies, to a certain extent, his apathy towards it... HAVE A GREAT START TO THE WEEK, I just hope your daily race is truly going somewhere...

*A QUICKIE: Do you ever get tired of being in a band that sucks? Aren't you sick of being broke and have to sleep in someone else's house? Do you constantly wonder how to make it big in music industry? Well stop whining and start practicing, at least you're in a band, I am not...

Year: 2006

"I heard it's cold out, but her Popsicle melts, she's in the bathroom, she pleasures herself, says I'm a bad man, she's locking me out, it's cause of these things, it's cause of these things..."

"...I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed, it's cause of these things, it's cause of these things..."

*A QUICKIE: This has nothing to do with the song, but I swear I'm not a bad man, they might want to make me thing that, everyone is paranoid, you ask something they think you are attacking them, that you want things done immediately... Yet if you don't ask and something goes wrong you're to blame, I'd rather cover my ass... Fuck that place, just fuck it...

Year: 2007

"But it's not what I've heard you know, a picture speaks a thousand words, but baby don't feel down, I left my heart in the provincial town..."

"You sold your soul for magic beans, don't believe all you read on computer screens and these things they mean nothing to me..."

*A QUICKIE: Awesome song. I think is about this lady who comes from a small town, and now, for whatever reason, she is is beginning to gain some notoriety and she's not quite prepared to deal with that, with the shit people talks and somehow the narrator is telling her those things don't last and what they say isn't true and that they could always go back to their 'provincial town'...

Beck - E-Pro

Artist: Beck
Song: E-Pro
Album: Guero
Year: 2005

"See me comin to town with my soul, straight down out of the world with my fingers, holding onto the devil I know, all my troubles'll hang on your trigger, take your eyes and your mind from the road, shoot your mouth if you know where you're aiming, don't forget to pick up what you sow, talking trash to the garbage around you..."


*A COMMENT: You know, talking down is not a nice thing to do, and to be honest I try not to do it, and when I do it I hate myself a little, but to keep being honest there are people that just don't know how to help themselves. I know it is not my duty to judge, I don't intend to, I always mind my own business and I know life will take care of that, but there are certain things too grossly huge to let them pass, too striking to ignore... Ahhhhh some people!

Album: Making Mirrors

Year: 2011

"We will be with you when you're leaving, we will be with you when you go, we will be with you and hold you till you're quiet, it hurts to let you go..."

*A COMMENT: Two days ago, while I was eating, I turned on the TV, and there was this movie called 'Gooby', it was about this kid who has trouble dealing with moving to a new place and his teddy bear comes alive and helps him through the rough times and stuff like that. What does it has to do with this? Well there is a part of the movie where the kid seems to be doing better socially speaking and kind of forgets about his friend, I don't know what happens at the end as I did not finished watching the whole thing, but it got me thinking that at some point when the kid grows up, eventually he would have to let go of his friend, at least partially... and it reminded me of this song and of this video... Letting go sucks...

*A COMMENT: I was going post this last night but sleep prevented me from doing it and it sure had a good reason to do so... It gave me something to tell you as I had a peaceful night of sleep, not only was it restful, but I had really amazing dreams, it sure is an excellent way to start my day, and I can remember most of them, I guess that is my present. Now off to running!

Year: 2000

"I couldn't sleep, took a walk down Second Avenue, sick of dreaming dreams that never come true, on a one way street and I know where it's leading to..."

"It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds, I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town, it's the same old ship going round, I'm going down, down ,down, down, down in a two story town..."

*A COMMENT: I'm not what you can call 'a big Bon Jovi fan', in fact this is the only album I own by them, and as of now I don't think I intend to purchase another one and it is not because this CD sucks, on the contrary, I do like it, great record, is not that I don't like them, I really don't know, they have good songs (some may call them classics) but there is something that just doesn't click between Bon Jovi and me... Who knows, maybe someday... In the meantime here is this song, which I think is the one I like the most from this CD.

Artist: Gomez

Song: How We Operate

Album: How We Operate

Year: 2005

"Turn me inside out and upside down and try to see things my way, turn a new page, tear the old one out and I'll try to see things your way..."

*A COMMENT: This should be POST 400. Why is that when we "celebrate" stuff we tend to do it with round numbers? For example costumer # 100,000 , or episode 200 and so on... Why don't we "celebrate" the 157th day without accidents? Wait, we do that... Anyway... Here is this song which is a down-to-earth "love" song... Not the one that tell you everything is going to be perfect forever and ever. This one acknowledges the ups and downs of a relationship, for example, in a long term relationship, there is the fact of seeing the same person day after day, everyday and also the fact that we, humans, fuck things up, that's how we operate, so at some point hurtful situations will occur, and here we reach a point where empathy and forgiveness should arise and blah, blah blah... you get the point don't you?

Kashmir - The Curse of Being A Girl

Artist: Kashmir

Song: The Curse of Being A Girl

Album: No Balance Palace

Year: 2005

"You pretend that you're allright, the worst noise is when you are keeping quiet, you say you're not that kind of girl, who will dramatize or traumatize..."

"Don't fold your hands, don't hold your tongue, the other girls will try to prove you wrong..."

"It's just the curse of being a girl tonight, you must hold your head up high and be aware that you're the purest pearl tonight..."


*A COMMENT: I love this song, just as much as I love this Danish band. I'm not really sure about the meaning, but here are my two cents, I guess it just tries to describe a bit of the women's behavior from the perspective of a boyfriend, I don't know, I kind of imagine the next situation: They are going to some kind of ball where the girl is going to be, at some point, in the spotlight. Here two possible options come to my mind, she's afraid and a bit insecure because she thinks she won't be up to par or she's also afraid and a bit insecure because she is in that 'time' of the month, or both. (If I was a girl, I would consider that a curse, maybe that's why that possibility comes to my mind). Anyhow, he is trying to cheer her up, as he knows she's capable (of whatever she needs do) and because he kind of knows girls and her mood swings. For example:

• "You pretend that you're allright, the worst noise is when you are keeping quiet". He knows that silence is a sign of she not being OK, even if he asks her, she will say she's OK, but he knows best.
• "Don't fold your hands, don't hold your tongue, the other girls will try to prove you wrong". Wherever they are going (my guess is a ball), there are going to be more girls, and as I said she is going to be in the spotlight at some point and girls can be so mean to each other (ie. judging her dress, her hair), she knows it (she's done it), he knows it (he's seen her do it), so he tries to encourage her to screw the other girls and stand her ground.
• "You're reaching out to grab his hand but he must be the world's most tired man, acerbic in his compliments, if he sees it all, your new shoes and all". He knows he has to be careful with what he says, that stress him a bit, but he also knows that she is already disturbed enough to cope with any "wrong" comment, so if he sees something to compliment he must use it all, he must be clever and funny.
• "It should be unforgettable, the cloudy sky should be convertible and then we end in this smokey hole full of concubines and replicants". They both know (as a certain fact) that wherever they are going, there going to find "fake" and hypocrite people, people who don't know how to keep their mouth shut and mind their own, these people are there just as a "trend", not because they really care and this couple knows it, but for them it is special, so they are a bit uneasy.

Well, that is somehow my interpretation. Accurate? I don't know, I guess so.
