Just like the last time i'm afraid most of the artists here aren't performing anymore for diferent reasons. I don't care. This would be heaven & I'm so making a playlist out of it and picturing myself there.

'Take ten bands/artists that should play at your show and determine their set lists:

- The first one plays 5 songs.
- The second one plays 5 songs.
- The third one plays 5 songs.
- The fourth one plays 6 songs.
- The fifth one plays 6 songs.
- The sixth one plays 7 songs.
- The seventh one plays 7 songs.
- The eighth one plays 10 songs.
- The ninth one plays 12 songs, with a 2 song encore.
- The tenth one plays 16 songs, with a 4 song encore.'

Sat 7 Nov – Peter Murphy, minor mine

Ήταν μια περίεργη συναυλία για πολλούς λόγους η χθεσινή του Peter Murphy.
Περίεργη γιατί έβλεπα έναν μεγάλο performer με καταπληκτική ακόμα και τώρα φωνή να αποδίδει μόνο από το ειδικό βάρος του ταλέντου του και της ιστορίας του. Να μην φτάνει στο 100% της απόδοσης του και συνάμα να μας χαρίζει μερικές πολύ όμορφες στιγμές.

Περίεργη επειδή ήταν ξεκάθαρο ότι δεν ήθελε να παίξει Bauhaus (τουλάχιστον τους πρώτους δίσκους τους), ενώ κουβαλάει ίσως πλέον δυσβάστακτα, την κληρονομιά του πρώην συγκροτήματος του. Γιατί νομίζω ότι πλέον δεν τον πρεσβεύουν. Διασκέδαζε παραπάνω στα δικά του τραγούδια (ή ακόμα και με το Too Much 21st Century από την τελευταία δουλειά των Bauhaus) παρά στο She’s In Parties και στο Bela Lugosi’s Dead που ούτως ή άλλως μας το έδωσε αποσπασματικά μαζί με το δικό του Strange Kind of Love. Δεν είναι τυχαίο ότι και τα παραπάνω τραγούδια ήταν νομίζω τα μοναδικά που ερμήνευσε από τους Bauhaus. Κατά τη γνώμη μου έπρεπε να δώσει βαρύτητα σ’ αυτό που πραγματικά θέλει να παρουσιάζει παρά σ’ αυτό πρέπει. Το κάνουν οι Tuxedomoon και κανείς δεν τους λέει τίποτα. Θα προτιμούσα να ακούσω 20 δικά του τραγούδια ερμηνευμένα με κέφι, παρά 3 άκεφα από Bauhaus. Το τελευταίο συνδέεται και με την επόμενη διαπίστωση μου.

Περίεργη επίσης ήταν η συναυλία λόγω της διάθεσης του. Ή μάλλον της έλλειψης που είχε. Οι λόγοι δεν με ενδιαφέρουν, μπορεί να ήταν κουρασμένος, ξενερωμένος, βαρεμένος, αλλά αυτό φαινόταν στη σκηνή. Οι κινήσεις του βγαίνανε επειδή έπρεπε να βγουν και όχι επειδή τις ένοιωθε. Το «Γέρασες!» που ακούστηκε από την αγενή κοπελιά, κατά τη διάρκεια της παράστασης δεν θέλω να το πιστέψω. Απλά δεν είχε όρεξη κατά τη γνώμη μου και είναι κρίμα.

Το κοινό ήταν περίεργο. Η μεγάλη πλειοψηφία πήγε για να ακούσει Bauhaus. Ζήτημα να ξέρανε 10 τραγούδια από τις προσωπικές δουλειές του. Έβλεπες αρκετά γκοθάκια να περιμένουν και να αγωνιούν μάταια να γίνει η συναυλία πιο σκοτεινή. Μάταια. Έβλεπες αρκετούς μαλάκες να φωνάζουν τραγούδια, ακόμα και όταν ξέρανε το setlist!! Άλλα περιμένανε οι περισσότεροι και άλλα είδαν επί σκηνής.

Περίεργες θα μπορούσαν να θεωρηθούν και οι αντιδράσεις του κοινού στο setlist. Ότι γλέντι έγινε, έγινε σε τραγούδια άλλων. Είτε αυτά ήταν των Bauhaus, είτε ήταν διασκευές. Με το Transmission από Joy Division και το Ziggy Stardust από David Bowie τα πιο χαρακτηριστικά παραδείγματα.

Περίεργος ήταν ο προγραμματισμός με τα support. Από τη μια είχες τους δικούς μας minor mine που για ακόμα μια φορά ήταν απολαυστικοί και από την άλλη είχες τη Lettie, τη μουσικό που έφερε ο Peter Murphy, που ήταν κυριολεκτικά αστεία. Από τη μία μας ζέσταναν οι Minor Mine από την άλλη το κορίτσι ήταν αλλού. Δεν ήταν άσχημη, ίσως σε κάποιο άλλο μέρος, κάποια άλλη στιγμή να γούσταρα, αλλά τώρα ήταν κανονικά άκαιρη.

Με όλα τα περίεργα που είπα πιο πάνω δεν αμφιβάλω ότι επίσης περίεργος είμαι και εγώ!

Αναλογιζόμενος την πορεία του Peter Murphy, από τη στιγμή που αυτός και η παρέα του (Bauhaus) μπουκάρανε στα στούντιο του BBC πριν 30 χρόνια με το demo του Bela Lugosi’s Dead και υποχρεώσανε τον παραγωγό να το παίξει, μέχρι το παρών όπου συνεχίζει να γράφει και να περιοδεύει μόνος του πλέον, αδικείται από τη χθεσινή συναυλία. Μπορούσε να μας δώσει παραπάνω πράματα. Και δεν αναφέρομαι στις δουλειές του με τους Bauhaus, το λέω για τη διάθεση του να προσφέρει. Εν τέλει μου φάνηκε κορεσμένος. Αυτό πάντως δεν είναι κάτι που ακυρώνει της αναμφισβήτητη αξία του και ταλέντο που έχει. Το είδαμε στο Strange Kind of Love, στο Deep Ocean Vast Sea και στο δικό μου χθεσινό αγαπημένο In Every Dream Home A Heartache (όπου κ αυτό δεν είναι δικό του, αλλά του Bryan Ferry και των Roxy Music), που για μένα όμως δεν ήταν αρκετά.

1. What's your favorite song by 15?
(Janet Jackson) Definitely Go Deep, it is in my opinion one of the best R&B tracks of all time.

2. How did you get into 20?
(Michael Jackson) My mother was really into his music, and obviously the excessive plays from my childhood have made a lasting impression.

3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
(Fleetwood Mac) Stevie Nicks. I know it's cliché, but anyone who can write songs that beautiful and have such a prominent stage presence and keep the audience entranced with just the slightest gaze deserves to be a favourite.

4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
(Midlake)
'Bring me a day full of honest work,
And a roof that never leaks
I'll be satisfied.'

In context of the song, these lyrics are magical.

5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
(Dave Matthews Band) That would be a no.

6. What's your favorite album from 10?.
(Madonna) This is like asking me to pick a favourite child! I'm going to say Erotica, for the sheer fact I used to play it all the time when I was younger.

7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
(Stevie Nicks) Just CDs.

8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
(Bat for Lashes) Walking along the beach near where I live listening to Two Suns just after it was released. The album fit the landscape so perfectly.

9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
(Tori Amos) She was thirty years ago!

10. When did you first get into 8?
(Peter Gabriel) When I was going through my Kate Bush phase last year, I discovered she'd sang on a few tracks with him. I downloaded them, loved his voice and then checked out 3. I was hooked, and here we are today.

11. Who likes 4 along with you?
(Kate Bush) Quite a few of my friends like her, actually. Between me forcing them to endure her and loads of artists proclaiming her to be their main influence, she's became much more popular again than she was even a year and a half ago.

12. Which song did you first hear from 16?
(Suede) Saturday Night, because I found out Keeley Hawes was in the video. Love her, love the song.

13. What song made you fall in love with 5?
(Lindsey Buckingham) Go Insane.

14. Which song do you not like by 18?
(Cocteau Twins) There's none that I know of that I dislike. Perhaps I don't know enough of their work?

15. Why do you like 14's songs?
(Bryan Ferry) His voice is perfection, and they remind me of my childhood.

16. Where did you first hear 6?
(Roxy Music) Probably on some Sunday when I was tiny. My mother loves them, and they were the soundtrack to ironing days. (On another note, creepy coincidence with the above question, huh?)

17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
(David Bowie) Only thirty-five years or so, not that long, ha.

18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
(Vanessa Carlton) Her songs are too pretty to give me bad memories.

19. When did you get into 17?
(Heart) I don't know, last summer?

20. How long have you been into 9?
(The Cure) About three and a half years.

21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) Due to the fact I worry that Tom Petty might die soon, I'd say a definite yes.

22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
(Buckingham Nicks) They've never released a CD, only a LP. Unless the album gets released on CD which I highly doubt, it'll probably always be none.

23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
(Siouxsie and the Banshees) Yes! The Last Beat of My Heart never fails to get me emotional.

24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
(Sarah McLachlan) Into the Fire brings a smile to my face, most definitely.

25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
(Paramore) Misery Business for pure nostalgia.

26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
(Björk) Venus As A Boy, and I do love that song.

27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?
(Kings of Leon) As my iTunes has only been going since August on this laptop, it doesn't say but I remember I definitely played Knocked Up over thirty times.

28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
(New Order) There's a few.

29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24?
(Don Henley) Not really, because he isn't played often unless I deliberately listen to "Oldie" radio stations.

30. What song got you into 40?
(Pink Floyd) I've no idea, I'm wanting to say Comfortably Numb but I can't be entirely sure.

31. What is your favorite single by 25?
(Tegan and Sara) I have no idea what's been released as singles and what hasn't.

32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
(Destiny's Child) I'd be slightly upset, because that would mean Beyoncé hates me, and as I love her, I'd feel like a right cock.

33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
(Whitney Houston) Even though I'd be creeped out, particularly as I'm straight and she's about the same age as my mother, I'd definitely say yes. It's Whitney fucking Houston!

34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
(Eagles) Not really. They're all old enough to be my grandparents, although Don Henley was a handsome man.

35. Who has the best voice in 46?
(Prince) As it's just Prince, he is the voice of the music. And I love it.

36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking?
(Fiona Apple) She is beautiful, in a porcelain-doll way. My only qualm is that sometimes she looks too thin. That's not really my problem anyway though, is it?

37. How many times have you listened to your favorite song by 36?
(Journey) This is easy - Wheel In The Sky.

38. How many CDs do you own of 30?
(The Smiths) Just the one, which is Strangeways, Here We Come.

39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad?
(Lily Allen) Not really.

40. Which member from 31 do you want to see go solo? If 31 is only one artist, what would you do if they joined a group?
(Demi Lovato) I don't really want her to join a group, I like her voice on its own.

41. What does your favorite song from 48 remind you of?
(Patrick Wolf) The Childcatcher reminds me of my old Spanish lessons, discussing with my friend how creepy yet good this song was.

42. Did you hate 43 at first?
(Joni Mitchell) No, she's a legend! It took me a little while to "get" her, though.

43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
(Beyoncé) Yes, who doesn't listen to her?

44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
(Amy Winehouse) They both like her, my mother especially.

45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
(Blondie) Well, come on. Who hasn't danced to Heart Of Glass at some point in their lives?

46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
(The Beach Boys) Of course not.

47. Do you like 44's name?
(Hole) It has rude connotations and is pretty simple, but definitely sums up the group.

48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with?
(Ladyhawke) I wouldn't go out with Pip, but I'd like her to give me her hair.

49. Do you know anyone that hates 39?
(Christine McVie) No, because not many people disassociate her from Fleetwood Mac. If they hate Fleetwood Mac (i.e., my stepdad) then they probably would.

50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
(PJ Harvey) Her songs aren't danceable, really. Unless you count grunge style mosh-pits. So, no.

Right, to start with I've written about Warren Ellis before but in other artists journals, not really just about him. This is going to be more about Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' White Lunar in the first bit and not at all about that audiobook thingy the other guy wrote. Also this is going to be a bit of a database of all Warren Ellis' recordings ever and also includes his favorites film soundtracks.

The Proposition is my all-time favorite soundtrack. I think it's one of the best things both Warren Ellis and or Nick Cave have ever done. White Lunar is kind-off a "Best of" feature films (the first, white disc) and documentaries (the second, black disc). The Proposition film and The English Surgeon doco have the most tracks on this compilation album. Nothing here is better than The Proposition tracks, maybe The English Surgeon comes close, so that is a good decision to have the most songs here. I would get the full album soundtrack if it was released, it is so much better than Music From The Motion Picture The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, to me that was a bit too like a big Hollywood soundtrack (which it is so it's just OK really).

The new tracks from the film The Road is cool, to finally hear them. Also the new tracks for the doco for The Girls Of Phnom are here and are cool to hear. But the tracks from The Vaults are the other tracks that are most interesting and I would love to hear more. One more thing is most of thess tracks are so short that I would think you could really put more songs on the CD's. I have not added up all the track time to see how long it is but there is that old trick of the hidden track here too. I think I would have included something from the scores for theater. Woyzeck and Metamorphosis both from 2006 have never seen the light of day and only place you can hear them is at the plays when performed.

I would rate White Lunar 3 and 1/2 out of 5 stars because it could have been better really. Anyway I have just read a very small interview with Ellis and without Cave which seem like they are a double act now, or joined at the hip, or something like that. Ellis was saying the songs for the soundtracks are recorded before seeing any films. So both are playing and recording all these tracks all the time and when a movie comes along to score they match up what is all there to the moving image. Which sounds great but there must have been a re-recording and or overdubbing for something like The Assassination which I think is a bit too over-produced. Warren is saying it's very "In the moment" creative process and I would love to read more but I think this interview is edited so much. You could possibly draw comparisons to Dirty Three more than Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but Ellis says it's nothing like them and is more about the "direction is out of your hands, you're in the image." But it's interesting that the last Dirty Three album Cinder came out in 2005 and the first soundtrack The Proposition was out the same year too. Nick Cave has said his favorite Dirty Three album is Ocean Songs and that is the one which, with Cave joining on piano, they have been playing as the classic album at ATP festival's Don't Look Back series. Grinderman started a couple of years later too.

Anyway the interview I was reading has Warren Ellis' film soundtrack favorites, which are:
> Anything composed by Bernard Herrmann or Ennio Morricone
> John Scott's score for Wake In Fright
>Elliot Goldenthal's score for Heat
>John Barry's score for Walkabout
>Brian May's score for Mad Max (By the way this is not the Queen guitar player which is the only artist under this name on last.fm).

On the last Aussie tour in 2006 Dirty Three did a cover of Rod Stewart's Maggie May on Triple J's Live A Version and as an encore at some show not all, If anyone has song I would love to get a copy of Dirty Three's Maggie May but I think it's never going to see the light of day again
