T++ - Wireless

2x12'' | Honest Jon's | 2010

















For this remarkable project Berlin's high lord of the techno-breakbeat was given access to the Honest Jon's vaults, selecting a handful of samples from two recordings of the singer and ndingidi-player Ssekinomu, made in East Africa at the end of the 1930s and in the mid-1940s.
The result is a crop of tracks that take the urge of 2-step, techno, dubstep and D'n'B so that YOU WILL DANCE TO IT!

Edzayawa - Projection One

Soundway | 2012


















Originally recorded in 1973, Projection One is the sole material by Edzayawa, a teenage afro-rock band from Ghana. Arriving in Lagos from Togo in 1973 they were introduced to Fela Kuti which led to 2 days in a studio and 8 amazing tracks.
///---''The majority of their songs were based around a 6/8 rhythm influenced by the music of the Ewe people from the South East of Ghana and Western Togo. With themes that draw heavily on traditional folklore and deep philosophy the album has a heavy feel that sets itself well apart from the much of the lighter happier highlife of the previous decade''----\\\
Or else, essential 70s masterpiece>>>

//\\//Flying Nun\\//\\














 






Have been listening pretty much everything in flying nun's catalogue for the last couple of days,  starting from 2 great compilations released earlier this year to celebrate its 30th birthday, Tally Ho! and Time to Go.


And got stuck to this song again:

 


 An old lady takes a bow
The lovers whisper, "What a cow." 

And touch each other with their hands
Outside they snigger at the sight 

Of drunk men sleeping in the light 

That shines on public transport stands

I want to screw you
I wish I could get through to you
There's nothing more that I want out of you
I want to own you
Just for one day enthrone you
And give all of my hollowness to you

And so they drink two cans of beer 

His face assumes a practised leer 

He takes his jacket off and sighs
She knows the next thing to be played
She says, "Forget it, let's get laid
I've had a million other guys."

They screw, they come, and lie replete 

They cast their shadows on the street 

And look away into the air
They're not in love or so it seems 

They stare at false exclusive dreams

They think of ways to do their hair


10.4.12

mclusky

She's the one
Naked in the sun
A hundred random numbers for some survey that she done
Martin Sheen infused with Bono's heart
She used to be retro 'til she fell apart

If the others won't come then the others aren't done
In their way, they've always called you Suzi
If it's out of control then it's out of control
It's not (you said it) but you are my sun
So shut up

She's adept at pissing on herself
It must've been the angle cos she's always soaking wet
She's the one
Baking in the sun
And a hundred random numbers for your secret son

You are my sun




from My Pain and Sadness Is More Sad and Painful than Yours


(((if it's out of control, i won't mind)))

Σταμάτα να μιλάς για θάνατο, μωρό μου.
Σταμάτα να μου λες πως μόνο αυτό μας μένει.
Κατάλαβέ το, δεν είναι αυτή η τελευταία μας λύση.
Κατάλαβέ το, πως κάτι τέτοιο τους βολεύει.
Σταμάτα να μιλάς για θάνατο, μωρό μου.
Δεν το νιώθεις; Αυτή η νύχτα είναι διαφορετική.
Άκου τα ανήσυχα βήματα έξω στο δρόμο.
Άκου πως τρέμει απόψε του μπάτσου η φωνή.
Γιατί απόψε η επανάσταση αρχίζει.
Γιατί απόψε οι μπάτσοι θα νιώσουνε ρίγη.
Γιατί απόψε θα πάψω να μιλάω για ειρήνη.
Κι όσο γι' αύριο, δε με νοιάζει τι θα γίνει.
'Ισως σέρνομαι σε κάποιο μπουντρούμι.
'Ισως μπάτσοι να μου τσακίζουνε τη μούρη.
'Ισως κήτομαι στο δρόμο νεκρός,
με λιωμένο το κεφάλι απ' τα κλομπς.
Μα για ένα μόνο πράγμα θα 'μαι σίγουρος,
πως δεν κρέμομαι απ' το γάντζο στο ταβάνι.
Μα για ένα μόνο πράγμα θα 'μαι σίγουρος,
πως δεν είμαι πια μονάχος.
Πως δεν είμαι πια μονάχος.
Σταμάτα να μιλάς για θάνατο, μωρό μου.
Δεν αντέχω να σ' ακούω άλλο, φτάνει.
Κατάλαβέ το, δεν είναι αυτή η τελευταία μας λύση.
Ξεκρέμασε κι εκείνη τη θηλιά απ' το ταβάνι.
Σταμάτα να μιλάς για θάνατο, μωρό μου.
Δεν το νιώθεις; Αυτή η νύχτα είναι διαφορετική.
Άκου τα ανήσυχα βήματα έξω στο δρόμο.
Άκου πως τρέμει απόψε του μπάτσου η φωνή.
Γιατί απόψε η επανάσταση αρχίζει.
Γιατί απόψε οι μπάτσοι θα νιώσουνε ρίγη.
Γιατί απόψε θα πάψω να μιλάω για ειρήνη.
Κι όσο γι' αύριο δε με νοιάζει τι θα γίνει.
Ίσως σέρνομαι σε κάποιο μπουντρούμι.
Ίσως μπάτσοι να μου τσακίζουνε τη μούρη.
Ίσως κήτομαι στο δρόμο νεκρός,
με λιωμένο το κεφάλι απ' τα κλομπς.
Μα για ένα μόνο πράγμα θα 'μαι σίγουρος,
πως δεν κρέμομαι απ' το γάντζο στο ταβάνι.
Μα για ένα μόνο πράγμα θα 'μαι σίγουρος,
