Top 10 over oversete kunstnere i 2007

29. december 2007

Yeasayer
Musiksiderne oversvømmes i denne tid af lister over de 10 bedste plader, de 10 bedste film osv. På NPR er man meget mere opfindsomme. Her har man fundet 10 oversete kunstnere frem af skabet og lavet en liste over “10 storartede ukendte kunstnere i 2007”. Det er noget, capac kan lide, for det er ikke altid det mest sælgende og promoverede, der er det bedste… Se listen her og hør smagsprøver på de ti navnes musik.
Capacs foreløbige favoritter er: Yeasayer, Ben Sollee, The Lightning Bug Situation (herligt navn!), Rotary Downs og Le Loup.

Listomani: “Sexede” pladecovers

11. december 2007

Det er snart længe siden, capac har bragt en liste. Men jeg faldt over denne lange liste over “sexede” pladecovers, som jo må være passende i denne søde, (julegaveønske)listetid. Absolut kun for voksne! Og vi garanterer ikke for pladernes musikalske værdi. ;-)

1968: Donovan – Jennifer Juniper m.fl.

29. oktober 2007

1968 var også et godt år for Donovan. Tre hits fik han i USA. “Jennifer Juniper“, der vist var tilegnet Patti Boyds søster, nåede et 26. plads, “Hurdy Gurdy Man” blev nr. 5 og “Lalena” nr. 33. Alle sammen Donovan-klassikere i dag.

De 10 mest overvurderede albums nogensinde?

10. oktober 2007

Er Beach Boys album Pet Sounds overvurderet? Er Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street? John Lennon Plastic Ono Band? Van Morrison Astral Weeks? Bob Dylan Modern Times?

Døm selv.

100 bedste cover-versioner

20. juli 2007

Det er New York Post, der frister med listen over de 100 bedste cover-songs. Der er nok for en listig listemager at diskutere, lovprise og være uenig i:

1. “Stairway to Heaven,” Dolly Parton (Led Zeppelin)

Queen of country rescues song from amateur guitar players everywhere with a soulful rendition that’ll have you in tears.

2. “Baby Got Back,” Jonathan Coulton

(Sir Mix-A-Lot)

MySpace white boy folk-rocks his way through an ode to big butts; great four-part harmony on “L.A. face with the Oakland booty.”

3. “Hazy Shade of Winter,” the Bangles (Simon and Garfunkel)

The way Paul Simon originally intended it – with a killer guitar riff and a drugged-out Robert Downey Jr.

4. “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Sinead O’Connor (Prince)

Close-cropped video and passionate rendition brought little-known Prince track to light.

5. “Showroom Dummies,” Señor Coconut & His Orchestra (Kraftwerk)

Not the first time Germans have hid out in South America, but with better results.

6. “Smooth Criminal,” Alien Ant Farm (Michael Jackson)

Turns “Annie are you OK” into a head-banging mantra.

7. “Personal Jesus,” Johnny Cash (Depeche Mode)

Electronica transformed into a painful, soul-crushing ballad. In a good way!

8. “Against All Odds,” the Postal Service (Phil Collins)

We can’t wait for what they’re going to do to “Sussudio.”

9. “Easy (Like Sunday Morning),” Faith No More (the Commodores)

If this song can’t get you some lovin’, take a hard, hard look at yourself.

10. “Tainted Love,” Soft Cell (Gloria Jones)

Liste uden rygeforbud

8. juli 2007

Det er lykkedes os at fravriste Random ( i Røvkassen ) en musikliste. Se den her.

Vi supplerer gerne. Her en er liste med sange til askebægeret. Og her en med gode rygesange. The Guardians læsere anbefaler disse tilrøgede sange. På Cannabis.com (!) kan man studere top 5-lister over sange med stærk tobak. Jeg tror ikke, at Random kommer i seng i nat, hvis listen skal gøres færdig…

Kaptajn Bøfhjertes 10 bud for guitarister

21. juni 2007

1. LISTEN TO THE BIRDS…That’s where all the music comes from. Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from. And watch hummingbirds. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren’t going anywhere.

2. YOUR GUITAR IS NOT REALLY A GUITAR…Your guitar is a divining rod. Use it to find spirits in the other world and bring them over. A guitar is also a fishing rod. If you’re good, you’ll land a big one.

3. PRACTICE IN FRONT OF A BUSH…Wait until the moon is out, then go outside, eat a multi-grained bread and play your guitar to a bush. If the bush doesn’t shake, eat another piece of bread.

4. WALK WITH THE DEVIL…Old delta blues players referred to amplifiers as the “devil box.” And they were right. You have to be an equal opportunity employer in terms of who you’re bringing over from the other side. Electricity attracts demons and devils. Other instruments attract other spirits. An acoustic guitar attracts Casper. A mandolin attracts Wendy. But an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub.

5. IF YOU’RE GUILTY OF THINKING, YOU’RE OUT…If your brain is part of the process, you’re missing it. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something that is fur bearing.

6. NEVER POINT YOUR GUITAR AT ANYONE…Your instrument has more power than lightning. Just hit a big chord, then run outside to hear it. But make sure you are not standing in an open field.

7. ALWAYS CARRY YOUR CHURCH KEY…You must carry your key and use it when called upon. That’s your part of the bargain. Like One String Sam. He was a Detroit street musician in the fifties who played a homemade instrument. His song “I Need A Hundred Dollars” is warm pie. Another church key holder is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin’ Wolf’s guitar player. He just stands there like the Statue of Liberty making you want to look up her dress to see how he’s doing it.

8. DON’T WIPE THE SWEAT OFF YOUR INSTRUMENT…You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music.

9. KEEP YOUR GUITAR IN A DARK PLACE…When you’re not playing your guitar, cover it and keep it in a dark place. If you don’t play your guitar for more than a day, be sure to put a saucer of water in with it.

10. YOU GOTTA HAVE A HOOD FOR YOUR ENGINE…Wear a hat when you play and keep that hat on. A hat is a pressure cooker. If you have a roof on your house the hot air can’t escape. Even a lima bean has to have a wet paper towel around it to make it grow.

Planket her….
