O čemu se ovde radi: 

 Dve najbolje drugarice odlučuju da se venačaju. Problem je što će to morati da urade istog dana u isto vreme.

Za kraj njihov najveći hit snimljen 2009 godine  na njihovom, za sada, poslednjem albumu  My Maudlin Career .

Camera Obscura: French Navy

Spent a week in a dusty library
Waiting for some words to jump at me
We met by a trick of fate
French navy my sailor mate
We met by the moon on a silvery lake
You came my way
Said, I want you to stay

You, with your dietary restriction
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
Waiting for somebody exciting
Like you
Oh, the thing that you do
You make me go, ooooo
With the things that you do (you do, you do)

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/camera_obscura/french_navy.html ]
I'll be criticized for lending out my art
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Why would I stand for disappointed looks
Fully grown but I'm all on tenterhooks

Oooo, with the looks
On tenterhooks,
Oooo, with the looks, the looks, the looks

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it

Relationships were something I used to do
Convince me they are better for me and you
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor

I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it
I wanted to control it
But love, I couldn't hold it

Već na narednim albumima Camera Obscura znatno obogaćuje svoj zvuk. Ovo je jedan od  najvećih hitova sa njihovog trećeg albuma.

Camera Obscura : Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken

He said ?I?ll protect you like you are the crown jewels? yet
Said he?s feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly
I can bet

Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment

Jealousy is more than a word now I understand
I know you can stay a girl by holding a boy?s hand

Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment

I?ve got my life of complication here to sort out
I?ll take myself to an east coast city and walk about

Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment
Hey Lloyd I?m ready to be heartbroken
I can?t see further than my own nose at the moment

Ovo je bend iz Škotske  koji postoji dosta dugo (od 1996) ali imaju toliko malo objavljenih albuma da ih uvek možemo smatrati nedovoljno poznatim. Samo četiri kolekcije pesama za gotovo 16 godina postojanja  je možda doprinelo statusu kultnog benda ali je svakako uticalo i na to da ostanu relativno nepoznati van granica svoje zemlje.
 I kao što ćete čuti, njihov početni zvuk je najviše ličio na Belle and Sebastian (oni koji ne znaju za ovaj bend neka požure na youtube i čuju par njihovih hitova) što nije ni čudo ako znamo da je debi album "Biggest Bluest Hi Fi"  upravo i producirao Stuart Murdoch lider Belle & Sebastian.
Slušamo prvi singl sa tog albuma.

Camera Obscura: Eighties Fan 

You know it really wont surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine

So often colour coordinated
your sister she's an Eighties fan
But that's alright
Have I told you so is mine

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do

Drinking vodka on the fly
Your mother has a watchful eye
So look out kid
She's onto you this time

Run away to a bed and breakfast
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Ringing the Yellow Pages all alone

You say your life will be the death of you
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honey dew?
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
But they never do
No they never do

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
About no one else

Režiser: Jamie Thraves

Glume: Paddy Considine
             Julia Stiles

O čemu se ovde radi: 

  Čovek sa misterioznom prošlošću  doseljava se u mali grad. Ali mali grad krije takođe velike tajne

Ključna reč iz naziva filma:

Cry

Ako bi opisao jednom rečju ovaj film koju bi reč upotrebio:

 Turoban

Ima li tu nešto zanimljivo ?

  Pre nego što sam pogledao ovaj film znao sam o njemu samo par podataka. Urađen je po romanu Patricie Highsmith (Talentovani gospodin Ripley) i u njemu glumi Julia Stiles.
 Pokazalo se kao dobra odluka što nisam svraćao ni na IMDB niti gledao trejler. Dosta tome je pomoglo i to što je film iz sada već davne 2009 pa ako sam tada i znao nešto više o njemu sve je to sada izvetrilo. Dakle, glavna vrlina ovog filma je što ne upada u klasične klišeje i film je svakako bolji ako o radnji filma pre gledanja znate što manje. Artistička forma filma, dugi kadrovi, tišina, glavni glumac koji svojom iritatnom pojavom (sasvim u funkciji priče) ni od početka ne uliva gledaocima poverenje sa takođe veoma sličnim ženskim likom, tako da publika većim delom filma i ne zna za koga i da li može uopšte da navija, dodaju i novu dozu neizvesnosti i turobnosti u i inače mračnu priču filma.

Šta je dobro u ovom filmu ?

Atmosfera. Onoliko koliko je nelagodno glavnim junacima nelagodno je i gledaocima.

Šta je još dobro u filmu ?

 Glumci. Mada mi je Paddy Considine na početku delovao kao neko ko jednostavno ne može da iznese neki film na svojim plećima veoma brzo me je demantovao. Paddy je ovde odličan. I Julia Stiles je veoma dobra.

Šta je loše u ovom filmu ?

 Atmosfera. Mnogi će od ovog filma odustati posle dvadesetak minuta jer će im biti dosadan. Kao što napisah ne upada u današnje triler klišeje i mnogo je bliži svojom struktorom klasičnim noir filmovima iz zlatnog doba Holivuda. Naravno, ne želim da Cry of the Owl upoređujem od klasika. Daleko je on od toga.

Šta je još loše u ovom filmu ?

U poslednjoj trećini filma intezitet  opada. Većina karata je otvoreno a neki postupci likova u filmu počinju da bivaju i previše iskonstruisani. Jednostavno, priča se raspada. Mada, koliko sam saznao, film je verna rekonstrukcija romana te zamerke na nivou zapleta možemo samo prigovarati predlošku. Sa druge strane, režiser je bio odgovoran za razvoj likova i morao je (i mogao) da nam neke stvari razreši na mnogo ubedljiviji način.

Postoje li bolji filmovi od ovog ?

 Naravno...pogledajte bilo koji noir film iz 40,50 ih godina Holivuda.

Postoje li lošiji filmovi od ovog ?

Mnogi.

Vredi li ovo gledati ?

Ukoliko se naoružate strpljenjem i spremni ste da posvetite 90 minuta svog života filmu koji vas neće oduševiti ali će na vas na nekom čudnom nivou ipak dotaći, i ako volite tzv. autorske filmove onda je "The Cry of the Owl" vaš "cup of tea".

Zaključak za kraj:

U današnje vreme veoma lako možete naići na mnogo lošiji film sa mnogo poznatijim glumcima i mnogo većim budžetom. U svakom slučaju ovaj film vam neće biti zabavan svideo vam se ili ne... I mada bi mu možda više odgovarala jedna jaka trojka dajem mu :

recenzija: Gimitrije Verzić. duh sa dva plava oka

King Tuff: Keep On Movin'

King Tuff: Alone & Stoned

(ako nađem stihove ubaciću ih)

A sada nešto sasvim sveže. King Tuff. 2012,29 maj, objavili svoj praktično debi album(mada ne i formalno). Malo garaž roka nikad nije na odmet.
Ovo je toliko novo (i nepoznato) da sam jedva uspeo da nađem stihove na netu.

King Tuff: Bad Thing

When I play my Stratocaster
Shooting those circles of sound
When I’m looking in the mirror
A Creature so ugly and wild

All I ever wanted
Was everything
And now I’m being haunted
By those dreams
Now I don’t know how to
Do anything
Cause I’m a bad, bad, thing

Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
I’M A BAAAD THIIIING
Solo
And when I play my Stratocaster
I feel like an innocent kid
But when I’m looking in the mirror
Remember the bad things I did
All I ever wanted
Was everything
And now I’m being haunted
By those dreams
Now I don’t know how to
Do anything
Cause I’m a bad, bad, thing

Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
Yeah, I’m a bad bad thing
I’M A BAAAD THIIIING
I’m a bad, bad, thing
I’m a bad, bad, thing
I’m a bad, bad, thing
I’m a bad, bad, thing
I’m a Baaaaad Thiiiiing

I za kraj, najveći hit The Black Keys i stvarno predivan a tako jednostavan spot.

The Black Keys: Tighten Up

[Whistling]

I wanted love, I needed love,

Most of all, most of all

Someone said true love was dead

And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall

For you

Oh, what can I do?

Yeah

Take my badge but my heart remains

Lovin' you, baby child

Tighten up on your reigns

You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild

It's true

Sick for days in so many ways

I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now

It's times like these I need relief

Please show me how,oh show me how

To get right

Yeah, it's out of sight

When I was young and moving fast

Nothing slowed me down,

Oh slowed me down

Now I let the others pass

I've come around,

Oh come around

'Cause I've found

Living just to keep going

Going just to be sane

All the while not knowing

It's such a shame

I don't need to get steady

I know just how I feel

I'm telling you to be ready

My dear

The Black Keys: Your Touch

When I want it, you've got it

So much

I'm crazy for

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

Well I'll be good

Like I should

Waiting is such

Misery

I need

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

Oh Lordy Lordy

I got excited now

Please rush

I need

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

Your touch

The Black Keys je u stvari prilično poznat novi američki bend ali ja sam ga otkrio tek nedavno. Osnovan je 2001 godine u Ohaju. Čini ga duet (gitare + bubnjevi). 2010 godine doživljaju konačni uspeh sa albumom Brothers. U naredna 3 dana slušamo hitove ove grupe

The Black Keys: Gold On The Ceiling

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can’t take much more
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house

Clouds covered love's
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can’t go without
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house
[x2]

DeVotchKa: Basso Profundo

I'm concentrate on teh wrong side of the law

From the creator

of this beautiful strip mall

A decimator of the cinder block world

A ventilator of the rallying call

One by one I take them on

this will be my revolucion

One by one they will be gone

I will not sleep til it be done

Basso profundo

yeah everybody knows

todo el mundo

it's shaking the windows

the tide is shifting

everybody says NO MAS

the boat is drifting

from the ones who control us

They never have enough they never have enough they

never have enough

the money is all that they love

All the world is for the taking

Just forget the hearts you're breaking

Is this love that you are making

or is it a deal?

Renacimiento

that's something I can do

Este pobrecito

has jut gotten some bad news

Mis hermanos we so close

Ten thousand light years

from the ones we love the most

They never have enough they never have enough they

never have enough

the money is all that they love

All the world is for the taking......

You are my sugar

You are the salt upon the earth

When will they see you?

When will they pay you what you're worth?

Amor mio I'm so close

Solo tù y yo

thats what I want the most

I never have enough I never have enough I never have

enough

You'll be the death of me my love

Pesmu Undone grupe DeVothcKa koristili smo kao najavu za prošlogodišnju epsku epizodu BVIZ-a "Operaciju Egipat". Ipak, danas, emitujemo jednu prelepu verziju sa orkestrom Colorado Symphony. Inače DeVotchKu su 2008 godine proglasili za Best New Band from Colorado.

Devothcka: Undone

Father,

you know where I have been and

you know what I have done

they say that you see everything

so you know I never hurt no one

What I have stolen won't be missed

By those who had so much, so long

We'll soon be laughing about this

They will never notice it is gone

I could bend the universe

It I can only get there first

There are some foolish fresh laid plans

My fate is firmly in your hands

If you must take me

I can not go peacefully

I left someone waiting for me

I left things terribly..

They say man is just your seed

Spilled out on the thirsty earth

A simple servant of your needs

from the moment of our birth

Tell me am I not your seed?

Tell me am I not your son?

Tell me have you just forgotten

All those years of devotion

Take

If you must take me

I can not go peacefully

I left someone waiting for me

I left things so terribly...

Undone 

Revolution je novo čedo NBC koji je već  odobrio  punu sezonu tako da svi oni koji  vole ovu seriju  mogu biti sigurni da će se sa njom družiti i do proleća 2013 godine. Rejtinzi gledanosti u najznačajnijoj demo grupi (od 18 do 49 godina) su bili dovoljno jaki za ovakvu odluku.
 Revolution je postapokaliptična priča o svetu nastalom posle globalne i misteriozne katastrofe u kojem su sve mašine koje su koristili bilo kakav električni vid energije jednostavno prestale da rade. Nakon 15 godina ljudi uglavnom žive u komunama van gradova, okrenuti prirodi, kao oružje imaju uglavnom lukove i strele a i mačeve, dok ih sve redom tiraniše Milicija, grupacija (na konjima) i armija plaćenika pod vođstvom zlog generala Monroa.
Ovakav uvod nam otprilike izdeklamuju u prvih par sekundi uvodne špice a onda počne priča... i to kakva...
prava katastrofalna.
 I ne, nije najgori deo ove serije besmislena početna premisa (ljudi su naime "zaboravili" da prave parne mašine,nema akumalatora baterija,hidrocentrala i sl. stvari ) već način na koji nam je sve to prikazano. Od toga da nam je glavna junakinja Čarli toliko iritatna i neubedljiva da gledalište prosto vapi za tim da je neko što pre ukoka, preko nekoherentne priče bez fokusa i očajnog razvoja karaktera.
 Mladi glumci su na nivou glume iz Kursadžija (mada su mi Kursadžije ubedljivije) dok ovi stariji donekle uspevaju da glumački utisak poprave ali samo toliko koliko im loš scenario to i dopusti. 

 Nažalost za sve ovo je odgovoran Erik Kripke tvorac veoma interesantnog serijala Supernatural (barem u prvih pet sezona) i očekivao sam da će baš u ovim stvarima koje sam kritikovao a koji su u Supernaturalu  (a kada ga poredimo sa Revolution) na mnogo superirornijem nivou.
Posle odgledanih prvih šest epizoda ne vidim puno nade da ovde mogu stvari krenuti nabolje.

Na skali od (1-5) ocena: 2

DeVotchKa je grupa iz Denvera i postoji od 1997 ali ne verujem da je previše poznata na ovim prostorima. Zanimljiv bend koji nikada nije dostigao zvezdani status ali ima pregršt prelepih pesama.
Ova pesma koju slušamo danas je njihov , uslovno rečeno, najveći hit.

DeVotchKa : How it Ends

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast.

Gonna put it to the test.

You want it to be blessed. And in your heart, you know it to be true.

You know what you gotta do.

They all depend on you.

And you already know.

Yeah, you already know how this will end.

There is no escape,

From the slave-catchers' songs.

For all of the loved ones gone.

Forevers not so long. And in your soul,

They poked a million holes.

But you never let em show.

C'mon it's time to go. And you already know.

Yeah, you already know how this will end.

Now you've seen his face. And you know that there's a place, in the sun, for all that you've done, for you and your children.

No longer shall you need.

You always wanted to believe,

Just ask and you'll receive,

Beyond your wildest dreams.

And You Already know.

Yeah, you already know

How this will end.

You already know (You already know)

You already know (you already know)

You already know-how this will end.

Charlie Winston : In Your Hands

Mother,
I`ve gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I`ll send it back to you

Father,
Give me strength, I pray
I have to end this misery
It`s causing too much pain
I`m gonna look for richer lands
Where the money`s made

I`m gonna put my whole world
In your hands
I have to put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

Mister,
Please let me work somehow
You`ve kept me waiting eighteen months
And still I`m not allowed
And everytime you promise me :
"Not much longer now "

I`ve to put my whole world
In your hands
You`ve got my whole world
In your hands
In your hands
Listen to me, listen to me

Mister,
Mr ! You say you`re trying
But don`t you know my brother`s dying
You say "It won`t be long"

But why am I so cursed
For where I am born ?

You`ve got my whole world
In your hands
I`ve had to put my whole world
In your hands
I`m gonna put my whole world
In your hands
I`ve had to put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands.

Charlie Winston : Hello Alone

Hello alone, it’s you and me again
How can we pretend we’ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We’ve been making beds for so long now

I never told you that I want you
I thought I had you out of my head
But every time she leaves me
Refusing to believe me
You’re always there
And even though I don’t invite you
And your presence is a pain
You always let me be just who I am
Until I’m glad to bring back that refrain again

Hello alone, it’s you and me again
How can we pretend we’ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We’ve been shaking hands for too long now

I even tried to re-convince you
But it was just no use at all
'Cause every time I climbed inside your mind
I saw the mirror on the wall
But it’s no use to pose the question
When the answer’s never ’she’
And then I have to face up to the facts
With saxophones and old trombones
Carrying me home to say

Hello alone, it’s you and me again
How can we pretend we’ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We’ve been making beds for too long

Perhaps I’ll take a holiday
And get as far away as I can
But then I’d just be far away
And just as much a lonesome man
With his head in his hands
And chanting

Hello alone, it’s you and me again
How can we pretend we’ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We’ve been making beds for too long now
Oh oh, we’ve been making friends for so long now
Hey hey, we’ve been shaking hands for so long, so long now

Engleski kantautor Charlie Winston ima iza sebe 3 albuma. Prvi je objavio 2007 godine ali najveći komercijalni uspeh je doživeo sa narednim iz 2009 (Hobo) čiju naslovnu numeru i slušamo danas. Charlie trenutno živi u Francuskoj u kojoj mnogo više cene i vole njegove pesme nego u samoj domovini.

Charlie Winston: Like a Hobo

I've always known
Since I was a young boy
In this world,
everything's as good as bad

Now my father told me
always speak a true word
And I have to say that is
the best advice I've had

Because something burns inside of me
It's everything I long to be
And lies, they only stop me
from feeling free

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me

I've never yearned
for anybody's fortune
The less I have
the more I am a happy man

Now my mother told me
always keep your head on
Because some may praise you
just to get what they want

And I said mama I am not afraid
They will take what they will take
And what would life be like
without a few mistakes

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me (x2)

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me, no

Lost in the Tress : Walk Around The Lake

And with a brush and ink
I'll paint a lake
Sometimes all it takes
Is a walk around the lake
To loose your mind
All it takes is a walk around the lake
Is a walk around the lake

And late at night I stay up and write
A book about my life
So noone would ever make
All of my mistakes
To ease your mind
All it takes is a walk around the Lake
Is a walk around the lake

And well I've made my loved ones cry
Right in front of my eyes
And I've spent so long a-hurting
In such a short life
But I'm moving on
My heart is grown,
I'm moving on
Yes I'm moving on
My heart is grown
I'm moving on

And oh, sometimes that's all it takes
Is a walk around the lake
And sometimes that's all it takes
Is a walk around the lake
Is a walk around the lake
Is a walk around the lake 

Mesec novembar posvećujemo nekim manjim poznatim bendovima i autorima koji zaslužuju vašu pažnju.

Lost in the Trees je band iz Severne Karoline osnovan 2007 godine. Za sobom imaju dva albuma.  

Lost in the Trees : Red

Brittle little bird
Spread your dark and golden wings
Unstitched on my porch
When did I stop learning?

Such a powerful song
I heard you weeping through the walls
A scarlet fever glows
Such as the golden hands of God

Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes

A beautiful garden blooms
My dearest one
And your love carried me through today
I’ll give you the moon
Dearest one
And your love carried me through today

Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes
Color from my eyes

A beautiful garden blooms
My dearest one
Your love carried me through today
And I’ll wait behind the moon
Dearest one
Your love carried me through today

And we’re gonna have twins
I can feel them kicking

Don’t leave the water too soon
Don’t leave the water too soon
