Za razliku od juče, evo i malo pravog rock and rolla....

Naziv ove pesme muzičkih veterana iz Tuscona je "Hurtin' Habit". Zanimljivo je da je neko postavio ovu pesmu na youtube-u i pod nazivom Nebojša Bakočević Hurtin' Habit. Pitam se zašto...



ali pošto nisam baš siguran da će ova "verzija" još dugo tamo i biti evo i one "zvanične"

Ovo liči na pesmu. Samo liči. Veliki hit...kažu.

Ja sam jedan od onih, nažalost retkih, ljudi koji je, povremeno, pratio karijeru Colina Vearncombe-a, poznatijeg kao Black, i nakon njegova prva dva albuma. Sada, kada ga više nema, nadam se da će njegova muzika biti pažljivija (pre)slušana.

I ne, naravno da Black nikada nije dostigao vrhunce svog debi albuma ali niko mi ne može reći da je napr. njegov poslednji singl baš toliko loš da zaslužuje tek nekih 3800 pregleda na youtube-u



Colin Vearncombe je umro mirno i tiho, okružen porodicom (suprugom i trojcom sinova) nakon dvonedeljne indukovane kome koja je bila poslednji pokušaj lekara da ga spasu posledica kobne saobraćajne nesreće. Imao je 53 godine. Nadam se ipak, da je, osim pesme "Wonderful Life" imao i takav život. Pa opet, apsolunto sam siguran da nije tako...



Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

[CHORUS:]
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life

The sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh I need a friend to make me happy
Not stand here on my own

[CHORUS]

I need a friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone






p.s. Black je već imao hit dana na ovom blog-u pre neke četiri godine.

Kada smo se već juče dotakli devedesetih (o mladosti moja...šmrc) evo još jedne pesme iz tog perioda. Bend Skunk Anansie nisam pratio ali njihova pevačica Skin je bila (i verovatno je još uvek) veoma upečatljiva pojava na sceni. A ima i dobar glas.

"Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)"

I HOPE YOU`RE FEELING HAPPY NOW
I SEE YOU FEEL NO PAIN AT ALL IT SEEMS
I WONDER WHAT YOU`RE DOIN` NOW
I WONDER IF YOU THINK OF ME AT ALL
DO YOU STILL PLAY THE SAME MOVES NOW
OR ARE THOSE SPECIAL MOODS FOR SOMEONE ELSE
I HOPE YOU`RE FEELING HAPPY NOW

JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GOOD
DOESN`T MAKE YOU RIGHT, OH NO
JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GOOD
STILL WANT YOU HERE TONIGHT

DOES LAUGHTER STILL DISCOVER YOU
I SEE THROUGH ALL THOSE SMILES
THAT LOOK SO RIGHT
DO YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME FRIENDS NOW
TO SMOKE AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR LIFE
OH HOW DO YOU REMEMBER ME,
THE ONE THAT MADE YOU LAUGH UNTIL YOU CRIED
I HOPE YOU`RE FEELING HAPPY NOW

JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GOOD
DOESN`T MAKE YOU RIGHT, OH NO
JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GOOD
STILL WANT YOU HERE TONIGHT

WANT YOU: [X3]
I WONDER WHAT YOU`RE DOING NOW
I HOPE YOU`RE FEELING HAPPY NOW [X2]

Eeee, ova naslovna soundtrack-a filma koji je, ipak, slabiji od kompilacije, budi neke setne, lepe uspomene,,,,





It was a miracle I even got outta longwood alive,
This town fulla men with big mouths and no guts,
I mean, if you can just picture it,
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast,
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass,
And all the drunks pourin' outta the dance halls,
Starin' up at the smoke and the flames,
And the blind pencil seller wavin' his stick,
Shoutin' for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road,
And me, if you can believe this, at the wheel of the car
Closin my eyes and actually prayin',
Not to god above, but to you, sayin',

Help me girl, help me girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

Some things we plan, we sit and we invent and we plot and cook up,
Others are works of inspiration, of poetry,
And it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs
To say my last goodbye,
To her hair white as snow, and her pale blue eyes,
Saying "I gotta go, I gotta go, the bomb and the bread basket
Are ready to blow,"
In this town of men with big mouths and no guts,
The pencil seller's dog spooked by the explosion
And leapin' under my wheels as I careered outta longwood on my way to you,
Waiting in your dress, in your dress of blue

I said thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

And with the horses prancin' through the fields,
With my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield,
I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you,
Waiting for me in your dress of blue

Thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal and your long dark curls

Love
It was enough to recognize
To see
I was the reason you feel sick inside

Fall in need

I let you bleed
‘Cause you were falling
I’m sorry baby
‘Cause you were falling
I’m sorry

Love
It cut a hole into your eyes
You couldn’t see
You were the car I crashed
Now you’re burning alive

Babe
The night has swallowed my soul
Could it be that I fell apart
It shows
The lines on my face ate away my smile
Could it be that I fell apart

Fall in need
I let you bleed
‘Cause you were falling
I’m sorry baby

Fall in need
***********
Phantogram 
***********

I studied evil, I can't deny,
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die,
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress,
Apocathery, Devil's behes'
I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake,
Fallin slave to passin desire,
Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die.
Against a Jungle primeval green,
She had the looks of a beauty queen
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume.
I said, "Good mornin", I tipped my hat,
All the while I was cunning like a rat,
Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye,
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die
My past history, one to behold,
I studied magic from days of old,
Membership, secret societies,
Power and wealth in my family
But Matilda, Darling,
Why you don't take my wedding ring,
Like a demon under the floor,
I buried the hoodoo down the back door.
Lawd, word broke through the town,
That a fever strike Matilda down,
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive,
Priest come runnin, quarter to five.
Standin in the weeds early next day,
I saw the meat wagon rollin away,
I seen Matilda layin in the back,
Her old mother wearin a suit of black
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,
I wait for me judgement to come,
I know her spirit is down beneath,
I hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth.
Flames of Hell licks at my feet,
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat,
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too,
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.



A ukoliko mislite da je ovo pesma stara 100 godina, pogledajte kako uživo zvuči (i izgleda) C.W.Stoneking 

Babe don't try to call
My heart is ticking and the show, just won't wait

It's strange, you couldn't see it my way, hey now go
I pray for you to fall
The spark, has died and now you're just too late

A shame, you're knocking at the wrong gate , hey go home
Come what may, I won't give away


My love, diamond rings and Chevrolets
My love, aces high and cigarettes
My love, faking all like Hollywood
My love, love, love


No way you'll see me crawl
Like a shark I'll be ripping you apart, and celebrate
With lots of champagne, you caught me on the wrong day, now you know

Come what may, I won't give away

My love, see me dancing in the rain
My love, no more whiskey and cocaine
My love, ending all forbidden fruit
My love, love, love

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
No you can't amuse me, so leave you must
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If the spell won't kill you, your ego does


My love, diamond rings and Chevrolets
My love, no more tears and no regrets
My love, time to lay the man to rest
My love, love, love

Love not our love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love is a poison ring
and love has poured you drinks
now love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
'cause you may never see that friend again
don't bother with a cover 'cause love can
pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
this crime of love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love will sting and love will burn
love will steal all you've learned
yes it will but not our love
sometimes in your back
and sometimes in your heart
it's a double edged sword
don't you bother with a cover
'cause in a crowd love can pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
(and the girls sing along) do you hear this cry for
love
do you see this crime of love
love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
you can easily pick out the fakes
don't you see this crime of love
this crime of love holds you here
sting burn steal learn
don't turn your back on my heart
you can easily pick out the fakes

Look up here, I'm in heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, can't be stolen

Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm so high it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain't that just like me

By the time I got to New York

I was living like a king

Then I used up all my money

I was looking for your ass

This way or no way

You know, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Now ain't that just like me

Oh I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Oh I'll be free

Ain't that just like me

Pogledao sam puno/malo filmova u 2015 godini. U skladu sa neumitnim promenama koje nam stižu u ovoj novoj 2016, neki filmovi nikada (ili barem za neki duži period)   neće dobiti (ne)zasluženu recenziju na ovom blogu. Što me ne sprečava da im udelim zasluženu ocenu.
Danas, na tapetu su oni "loši"...



E ovaj prvi je stvarno loš.

1. Reclaim (2014)

Ovde jedino nešto vrede prelepe lokacije na kojima je film snimljen te vam on neće biti naporan za gledanje.

 Ukoliko pritom uključiti bar malo i mozak ovaj triler o veoma,veoma glupom bračnom paru koji se nađe u veoma, veoma glupoj šemi grupe prevaranata biće vam veoma,veoma,veoma,veoma glup.

 Dakle, pejzaže potražite na slikama ili ako ste u mogućnosti otputujte lično do Porto Rika. O potonuću Kjuzaka Džona u moru loših filmova možda ću nekom drugom prilikom.

2. The Hoax (2006)

Richard Gere je podnošljiv u ovom još jednom prevarantskom filmu.

 Za razliku od prethodnog, najviše će ovde biti prevareni gledaoci jer će se sve vreme nadati da će "The Hoax" bar u nekom trenutku profukcionisati kao pravi punokrvni proizvod jer imalo je tu potencijala.

Dosadno a gledljivo. Možda i najgora moguća kombinacija.

3. Bloody Birthday (1981)

E ovo je prava poslastica. Jedan od onih toliko loših da je u stvari dobar. Al' zamalo.

Romeo i Julija

Dobar,rđav,zao

 Grupa klinaca u ubilačkom pohodu. Sredstva  koja koriste za ubijanje svojih nesrećnih žrtava su i raznovrsna i istovremeno urnebesna. Scena jurnjave/pokušaja ubistva na auto otpadu je spektakularno smešna.

Avioni, vozovi, automobili

Samo za tvoje oči

Žene na ivici nervnog sloma

 To što nam se sve to prezentuje u ozbiljnom/horor tonu samo dodaje dodatni nivo za'ebancije. Ipak i tako posmatran "Bloody Birthday" je samo još jedan od slešera iz prošlosti koji su sa razlogom zaboravljeni.

Otrovna Ajvi

Zlatna praćka

Let iznad kukavičijeg gnezda

4. The Collector (2009)

Vidi ovo kao da je neki spin off Saw-a pomislićete odmah nakon prvog ubistva.

 Tu su smrtonosne zamke, razne vrste grozomornih čerečenja i kasapljenja ali takođe i isti scenaristi nekoliko nastavaka Saw-a. U stvari, originalno je ovo trebalo biti tzv. prequel priča za Saw ali odustaše...

Na jedan bizaran način "The Collector" je zabavan film. I to je najviše pohvalno što mogu reći za njega. A i ne smeta što glavni glumac neodoljivo podseća na Šon Pena.

5. American Pie (1999)

To leto 1999 godine bilo je čudesno na mnogo načina.

 Mi smo, na primer, proslavljali ubedljiv trijumf u ratu sa NATO paktom koji nas je besumučno bombardovao 78 dana. Sa druge strane, nismo samo mi uživali te godine u američkoj piti, već je i sa druge strane Atlantika narod uživao u njoj. Sa budžetom od 11 mil. $  "Pita" je tog jula protutnjala kroz američke bioskope i nahranila napaćeni narod koga je  to zadovoljstvo koštalo nekih 235 mil. $.

Ova prosečna komedija, retko kada izistinski smešna, nam je svima podarila još tri bioskopska nastavka i još više "Direktno Na DvD" ostvarenja. Meni je bila zanimljiva samo iz dva razloga

Prvi, podsetila me je na pionirske "youtube/skype/mirc" dane...

Drugi, izgleda da je "American Pie" bio glavni promoter izraza koji je sada ušao u svakodnevni žargon i govor. Znate ono, vi mlađani, kada vidite neku, a da je pripadnica moje generacije (plus/minus) šta je prvo šta ćete joj reći ? Pa ono dobro a već staro:
"Gde si bre MILF ?!"
