Kings of Convenience son un dúo de Indie pop - Folk Pop formado por Erlend Øye y Eirik Glambek Bøe y procedente de Bergen, Noruega.
Su música se basa en las guitarras acústicas, añadiendo ocasionalmente arreglos de cuerda o pianos, y recibe una gran influencia de bandas actuales como Belle & Sebastian y de otras clásicas como Garfunkel .
También pueden distinguirse algunas pinceladas de Bossa Nova en la sonoridad de sus guitarras.
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
(Getting into the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

De sus tantos videos..no me dio la gana de poner alguno hahaha.
No es por joder, solo que encontre este otro video, la cancion es Cycling Trivialities con un video acerca de la guerra. Un video para reflexionar..
Too blind to know your best.
Hurrying through the forks without regrets.
Different now, every step feels like a mile.
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Don't know which way to turn.
Every trifle becoming big concerns.
All this time you were chasing dreams,
without knowing what you wanted them to mean.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
All the small steps, all your shitty clouds.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
Who'll remember all the players.
Who'll remember all the clowns.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So what does this really mean.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities
Hace alrededor de una semana en la pagina de un cuate me encontre este video con una rola que inmediatamente despues de esuchar en lo unico que pensaba era: que no acabe porfavor.
Una pequeña anecdota: investigando sobre el grupo me percate que la mayoria de los videos que hay de The xx tiene como fondo esa "x" blanca, tanto en youtube como en algunos blogs. Se me hizo de lo mas normal debido al nombre del grupo.
En youtube me tope con varios videos oficiales de ellos, de pronto entendi por que nadie linkeaba esos videos.
De vez en cuando uno debe de leer los comentarios que pone la gente, y preguntarse si uno hace lo mismo. A algunas personas simplemente les encanta joder u_U ahhahahahahah.
El grupo en cuestion se llama The xx y son un trío de Londres formado por Romy Madley Croft (voz y guitarra), Oliver Sim (voz, bajo), y Jamie Smith (batería, MPC sampler).
(sin comentarios, el punto aqui es su musica, que por cierto me parece bastante buena.)
Nick just waits to fly
Easy to take
You could take me in for us
Make me a deal
A day apiece
Take it off, just stay a week
I'll take you in pieces
We can take it all apart
I've softened shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater
Breathin' out and in
I think I'm losin' where you end and I begin
Basic space
Openin'
Don't look away
When there's nothin'
There
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece before I'm alone
Airtight before we break
Keep it in
Keep us safe
This pool of boiling wax
I'm giving in that is sick
Got to fill this in
Gotta just?
Why don't we learn how to keep what I have
Preserved
Basic space
Openin'
Don't look away
When there's nothin'
There
Hot wax
Has left me with a sign
Wouldn't know if I've been left behind
Second skin
Second skin
I can let it out
I still let you in
I can let it out
I still let you in
Cuando por delante tenemos un dia agitado, lo mejor que podemos hacer es prepararnos..
Mucha gente cree que esta cancion fue escrita por Bob Marley, lo cual es un error. Esta rolita es del señor MCFerrin, el cual es altamente recomendable por la fusion que hace entre el reggae y el jazz, y aparece en el soundtrack de la pelicula cocktail.
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy

Aquí tienes una cancioncilla que he escrito
A lo mejor quieres cantarla nota tras nota
No te preocupes, sé feliz
En la vida todos tenemos problemas
Si te preocupas, los duplicas
No te preocupes, sé feliz
No tienes dónde reposar tu cabeza
Alguien llegó y te quitó tu cama
No te preocupes, sé feliz
El casero te advierte de que te has retrasado con el pago
Quizás te ponga una denuncia
No te preocupes, sé feliz
Mírame a mí, yo soy feliz
No te preocupes, sé feliz
Toma, aquí tienes mi número de teléfono
Cuando algo te preocupe, llámame
Te haré feliz
No te preocupes, sé feliz
No tienes pasta, no tienes estilo
No tienes una chica que te haga sonreír
Pero no te preocupes, sé feliz
Porque cuando te preocupas
Frunces el ceño
Y eso desanima a la gente
Así que no te preocupes, sé feliz
Aquí está una cancioncilla que he escrito
Espero que la aprendas nota tras nota
Como los niños buenos
No te preocupes, sé feliz
Escucha lo que digo
En tu vida encontrarás problemas
Pero si te preocupas
Se duplicarán
No te preocupes, sé feliz
No te preocupes, no lo hagas, sé feliz
Pon una sonrisa en tu cara
No desanimes a todos así
No te preocupes, pronto pasará
Sea lo que sea
No te preocupes, sé feliz
Who te fuck is Jack Johnson (JJ)!?
Para empezar es un gran compositor, excelente musico, cineasta, ecologista, surfista, en fin. Es una persona muy serena.
Este cuate estuvo a punto de ser grande en el surf, pero debido a una mala ola quedo fuera por un tiempo, en ese break, se dedico a hacer peliculas enfocadas hacia los jovenes surfistas de su localidad. En una de sus peliculas a JJ le dio por aventarse a hacer el soundtrack. Cuando la pelicula se estrena todos quedan sorprendios del exito, pero no de la pelicula, que por cierto es muy buena, si no del soundtrack.
Con ideas claras, livianas, digeribles, pacifistas y con una ideologia que no lleva mas pretenciones que las de enseñarnos que la vida no es lo que llamamos vida hoy en dia (las prisas, el capitalimso, el trabajo, los problemas), JJ nos regala su musica hermosa y apacible.
Un consejo como amigo, si alguno de estos dias, creen que el mundo se les viene encima, no duden en escuchar a JJ, les aseguro que el les alegrara mas que el dia.
Les dejo un video con letra y traudccion, escuchen, vean, lean, cierren los ojos y disfruten.
Letra:
Everyone laughed at her joke
As if they'd never even heard it before
And maybe they were truly amused
But every word that she spoke was a bore
And maybe it's because they had seen
The previews on the TV screen
Well this part is good and that's well understood
So you should laugh if you know what I mean
But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe
Everyone knows what went down
Because the news was spread all over town
And fact is only what you believe
And fact and fiction work as a team
It's almost always fiction in the end
That content begins to bend
When context is never the same
And it's all relative
Even if we don't understand
And it's all understood
Especially when we don't understand
Then it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe
I was reading a book
Or maybe it was a magazine
Suggestions on where to place faith
Suggestions on what to believe
But I read somewhere
That you've got to beware
You can't believe anything you read
But the good Book is good
And that's well understood
So don't even question
If you know what I mean
But it's all relative
Even if you don't understand
Well it's all understood
Especially when you don't understand
And it's all just because
Even if we don't understand
Then lets all just believe
But there you go once again
You missed the point and then you point
Your fingers at me
And say that I said not to believe
I believe
[x3]
I guess
I guess it's all relative.
Traduccion:
Todos rien de sus bromas
Como si no las hubiesen escuchado antes
Y quizás realmente se estaban divirtiendo
Pero cada palabra que ella dijo era aburrida
Y quizás sea porque han visto
La cola en la pantalla de T.V.
Esta parte esta buena y eso se sabe
Entonces deberías reir si sabes lo que significa
Pero todo es relativo
Incluso si tu no entiendes
Todo esta sobreentendido
Especialmente cuando no entiendes
Entonces, es todo justamente porque
Incluso si no entendemos
Entonces nos queda creer
Todos saben lo que se perdió
Porque la noticia era el desarrollo sobre los pueblos
Y en efecto es lo que tu crees
Y de echo la ficción de trabajar como un equipo
Es casi siempre ficción al final
Ese contenido comienza a doblarse
Cuando el contexto no es siempre igual
Pero todo es relativo
Incluso si tu no entiendes
Todo esta sobreentendido
Especialmente cuando no entiendes
Entonces, es todo justamente porque
Incluso si no entendemos
Entonces nos queda creer
Estuve leyendo un libro
Quizás era una revista
Sugerencias de donde ubicar la confianza
Sugerencias de en que creer
Pero yo leí en algún lugar
Que debes tener cuidado
No puedes creer todo lo que lees
Pero el buen libro es bueno
Y esta sobreentendido
Nisiquiera preguntes
Si sabés lo que quiero decir
Pero todo es relativo
Incluso si tu no entiendes
Todo esta sobreentendido
Especialmente cuando no entiendes
Entonces, es todo justamente porque
Incluso si no entendemos
Entonces nos queda creer
Per allá vas una y otra vez
Perdiste el punto y entonces tu apuntas
Tus dedos a mi
Y dices que yo dije no creer
Yo creo
Supongo
Supongo todo es relativo
Si tuvieramos que definir Sunset Rubdown, como una persona, diria que Sunset rubdown es Spencer Krug.
Spencer, con tan solo 33 años de edad es capaz de llevar 6 bandas: Fifths of Seven, Moonface, Swan Lake, Frog Eyes, Sunset Rubdown y Wolf Parade.
Con su estilo inigualable palpa a estas agrupaciones con su magia, pero siempre dando un estilo unico a cada una.
Spencer comprende que la musica no es otra cosa que un proceso creativo, el sabe que parte de la magia esta en la variedad de sonidos. Ese caotico pero a la vez ordenado universo de sonidos. Es consciente que encasillarse en generos no viene a nada, y en cada una de sus agrupaciones demuestra sin pretenciones que la musica es hermosa aun desde su mas simple pero siempre melodica composicion, hasta su canciones mas complejas, como Black Swan por citar alguna.
Wolf Parade (imagen)
Les dejo un video de la agrupacion Sunset Rubdown para que decidan:
You go on ahead
For a while
I would like
To follow you a while
You go on ahead!
For a while
I would like
To just follow you a while
And I’d like to watch the white flash of your heels
As they take turns
Breaking the desert heat
To beckon me in languages I’ve never learned
And I’d like to have you
Navigate two hills where no musicians live
And on the way
Decide what bendings of your will you’re willing to forgive
And I’d like to think the actors never banded
And I’d like to throw this trumpet down and go on empty-handed!
And I’d like to think I am not one of them
But I know I am
So I’d like to just
Follow you a while
You go on ahead for a while!
I would like to just follow you a while
And you go on ahead
For a while
I would like to just
Follow you a while
When me and the boys were out
We killed a thousand butterflies
So I put their wings into my mouth and
Said a prayer for our safe arrival
And
Then a big black car crossed our path
And I wondered whether or not that shit was empty!
You go:
See the sirens and the lizards
Flick their tongues behind the stage
See the actor keep a ritual
To keep them all at bay
He would like to come home naked
Without war paint on his face
And appear before you
Virgin white if virgins are still chaste
Soooooo wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait for me…
And I’ll appear before you virgin white
If virgins are still chaste
Then I’d like to just
Follow you a while
And if there are two eyes in my head
There are four seasons in a year
And reflections on the water
Of a burning yellow sphere
And the days add up to weeks
Add up to months
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And if there are two eyes in my head (and add up)
There are four seasons in a year (and add up)
And reflections on the water (and add up)
Of a burning yellow sphere (and add up)
And the days add up to weeks (and add up)
Add up to months (and add up)
And add up (and add up)
And add up (and add up)
To years (and add up)
Add up to years (and add up)
Add up to years! (and add up)
Add up to years! (and add up)
And add up oh…
And if reflections on the water
Sometimes look like they’re in tears
We can watch them change in shape
Without pushing
Off the pier…
Si alguien me preguntara, que me hace sentir o pensar este video, describiria una escena que pasa por mi cabeza:
Escena: dos personas, desayunando en la misma habitacion, el..tiene la barba fuera de control, ella..lleva el vestido de hace 3 dias.
-El- Ponme atencion, deja de pensar en irte. Se que no quieres involucrarte mas.
-Ella, mientras sonrie dice- Lo siento.
-El, lastimado y retador pregunta- Dime, ¿Crees poder huir de aqui, antes de que todo se venga abajo?
-Ella, no dice nada. Solo baja la mirada.-
-El, con la mirada melancolica, que solo un buen y lejano recuerdo puede provocar- Cuando te conoci todo era perfercto. Te mire a los ojos y te dije: te amo. Recuerdas?
-Ella niega con la cabeza ladeada.-
-El- Tu solo me recordaste lo afortunado que era por tenerte.
Stay away from open windows, and put the telephone down.
Can you run as fast as this house will fall, when the alarm bell sounds?
No, I was never much of a dancer but I know enough to know you gotta move your idiot body around.
And you can't, can't settle down until the idiot in your blood settles down.
And if I found you in this city, and called it Paradise.
I say, I love you but I hate this city, and I'm no prize.
You want to walk around like you own the joint, the way that Icarus thought he might own the sky.
I said you can't, can't settle down, until the Icarus in your blood, in your blood drowns
No you can't, can't settle down, until the Icarus in your blood, in your blood drowns
I said, If I was a horse I would throw up the reins if I was you.
Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-oh
So, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go-o-o-o!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer,
you were a meteor)
and, look at you go!
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart,
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart,
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
Well it's an idiot heart.
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart.
But you can't, can't settle down, down, down Ba-da-da-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba
But you can't, can t settle down, down, down Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
So just move around, move around, move around, move around. (I hope that you die)
Move around. (in a decent pair of shoes) Move around. (you got a lot more walking to do) Move around. (where you're going to) Move around.
I hope that you die in a decent pair of shoes
You got a lot more walking to do where you re going to.
I hope that you die in a decent pair of shoes
You got a lot more walking to do where you're goin
Zooey Deschanel es una mujer es increible..y hermosa.

why do you edit? just give me credit
i'm just sitting on the shelf
Electric Six es una banda formada en Detroit por cinco freaks que se hacen llamar Disco
– al bajo- M.
– a la batería- The Rock-n-Roll Indian.
– a la guitarra- Surge Joebot.
– frente al micro- Dick Valentine.
El grupo empezó en 1996 bajo el nombre de The Wildbunch. Ese mismo año, el grupo editó su primer single con Uchu Cult Records. El tema se llamaba «I Lost Control (of my Rock n’Roll)» y a él le siguió el EP «An evening With the Many Moods of the Wildbunch’s Gratest Hits… Tonight!».
Es el hijo del fundador de la agencia de modelos Elite Model Management John Casablancas y de Jeanette Christjansen, una modelo danesa que fue Miss Dinamarca en 1965. Saltó a la fama por ser el vocalista de The Strokes.
Casablancas publicó su primer trabajo como solista, Phrazes For The Young el 3 de noviembre de 2009 (Cult Records). Su lanzamiento vino precedido por el sencillo 11th Dimension (que es el video que vemos a continuacion), a la venta el 18 de septiembre. Dos meses después, el 18 de noviembre, se publicó un deluxe box-set del álbum en el que, además del CD, se incluía un vinilo, un libro autografiado por el propio artista, y otros extras.
Uno de los mejores remixes de placebo..totalmente recomendable.

Can you find me space inside your bleeding heart

It falls apart

Cancion ad-hoc pra una noche calida y llena de sentimiento..
La noche se anuncia caliente
Me tienta y a ver que me da
Me vende a buen precio el peligro
Me reta , me vence y se va
La noche no apaga el infierno, no teme la furia de Dios
No esconde venganza en sus ojos, y no tiene palabra de honor
La noche me gusta
Me gusta lo bueno,
Lo bueno es pecado
Y el resto no es malo
Lo bueno es tan malo, que
Me gusta lo bueno, y
Me gusta lo malo, si
Me gusta
No pacto, no escucho, no acepto
Y a cambio de nada te vi
No quise, no pude, no supe
No, no, no, no y te dije que si
Pero un si irresistible
Grande como una casa
Con ventanas y vistas
Muy cerquita del cielo
De una vida tan corta
Que no sabe que le va a pasar
Una vida que busca
Que respira y que no olvida lo que es bueno
Y una vida tan libre
Que no entiendo adonde quiere ir,
Unas alas tan tercas, tan audaces, tan osadas, tan ligeras y a volar
Me gusta
Camino con pasa ligeros
No se cuantos doy, los que doy
Me lleva pa´lante la historia
No estando, ni estuve, ni estoy
A lo puro y lo casto
Se los come un te quiero
Y me voy vida abajo
De caminito al infierno
De una vida tan corta
Que no sabe que le va a pasar
Una vida que busca
Que respira y que no olvida lo que es bueno
De una vida tan libre
Que no entiendo donde quiere ir
Unas alas tan tercas, tan audeces, tan osadas, tan ligeras y a volar
Y a volar
Me gusta
La noche se anuncia caliente
Me tienta y a ver que me da (que me da)
Me vende a buen precio el peligro
Me reta , me vence y se va (se va)
La noche no apaga el infierno, (no)no teme la furia de Dios (no no teme la furia de Dios)
No esconde venganza en sus ojos, no no palabra de honor
La noche
