  • The Great American Songbook and more...

    Dez 23 2009, 0h05 por sharky1972

    Great American Songbook (sometimes abbreviated as "GAS") is a term referring to the interrelated music of Broadway theatre, musical theatre, Hollywood musicals, and so-called Tin Pan Alley, for a period that begins during about the 1920s and ending about 1960 with the emerging dominance of rock and roll. Including dozens or hundreds of songs of enduring popularity, the Great American songbook also became (and remains) a vital part of the repertoire of jazz musicians, who describe such songs simply as "jazz standards"...
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Great American Songbook
    Call it "Great American Songbook", call it "jazz standards" - there always have been songs that were performed by more than one musician. Sometimes it's easy to choose a favorite version - sometimes it's not because every version has its own kind of appeal - just take Summertime and its long way from Billie Holiday's rendition (TocarSummertime, 1936) to Hildegunn Gjedrem's fine vocal jazz (TocarSummertime, 2007) as an example. Here is a collection of songs from both categories performed by some of my favorite female jazz singers:

  • Retro cover songs, 3rd rev.

    Jul 8 2009, 17h52 por hdsander

    Finding indie artists of today covering Frank Sinatra on iTunes inspired me to look through my music library for some more singers of today covering the hits of yesterday, preferred songs from the 30s, 40s or 50s. Well, this was the plan but finally it turned out that I wasn't able to find covers of such old songs. The second approach was gathering cover songs twice as old as the performer but this rule has been broken if I found a cover song that was too awesome to exclude it from the list. Special thanks go to the people at the Flowerbox at KGRL's website for their contributions.

  • 10 nejoblíbenějších alb

    Dez 8 2008, 10h14 por maca89

    původně vyšlo zde: http://maca89blog.ic.cz/hudba/25-best-off.html -> verze na blogu obsahuje více odkazů

    1. Gorillaz - Deamon Days
    Gorillaz se mě drží už pěknou řádku let. První bezejmenné debutové album vyšlo v roce 2001 a od té doby je miluju. Gorillaz je podle mě nejvyspělejší a nejvybroušenější projekt hudebního boha Damona Albarna. To on stojí za celým projektem, to on si vybíral, kdo s ním bude hrát, kdo mu pomůže tvořit. A že vytvořil něco geniálního! Milovníci škatulek si tu vylámou zuby. Špatná definice je, že se na albu vystřídá několik hudebních stylů. Lepší je říci, že jde o úplně jiný hudební směr a že goriláci vzali to nejlepší z popu, rocku, rapu, elektroniky a spousty jiných stylů a upekli tak výborný hudební koláč, že se ho nadosmrti nepřejíte. A šušká se cosi o třetím albu!


    2. Björk - Vespertine
    Tenhle islandský skřítek, jak se Björk někdy přezdívá, má na svědomí 7 pokaždé originálních řadovek a jednu lepší než druhou. Ale jak vybrat tu úplně nejlepší? Babo raď! Kdybych sám sebe neomezil výběr jeden interpret - jedna deska, byla by většina žebříčku obsazena právě Björk. Třeba takový Debut má i cca 14 let po vydání stále co říci. Mě osobně se zdá Vespertine jedno z nejucelenějších nejvyváženějších, nejintimnějších a nejúžasnějších alb, co se ke mně za můj krátký život dostalo. Album je fucking awesome od začátku do konce. Úžasné Pagan Poetry (a ten klip!), které chytne a nepustí. Z Frosti cítíte tu zimu a ten sníh, padající za okny vytopeného domu. Nebo intimní Cocoon s minimalistickým doprovodem. Velice zajímavé Hidden Place a jeho sbory. A mohl bych pokračovat. Album jako celek má vlastní rámec a určitě ho doporučuji všemi dvaceti, stejně jako zbytek tvorby od Björk.

    3. Portishead - Third
    Vrchol současné trip-hopové a trochu elektronické tvorby, inovátorské postupy, intimní výraz zpěvačky. Beth Gibbons a Geoff Barrow na stará kolena vytvořili album, které nesmí chybět v žádném top ten žebříčku. Kdo neslyšel Machine Gun, neměl by říkat, že má naposloucháno dost hudby. Agresivní úderný doprovod vs. jemný hlas, co je sotva slyšet. Plastic, kde si chvílemi říkáte, jestli to bzučí v písničce nebo Vám v hlavě. Pro mě typický příklad "sluchátkové hudby" - nejvíce si ji užijete večer v posteli se sluchátky na hlavě.

    4. The Good, The Bad & The Queen
    Nejnovější projekt Damona Albarna. Této skupině se někdy přezdívá superskupina, protože se sešli velikáni ve svých oborech. Kdo namítne, že album nepřináší moc nového, s tím budu souhlasit. Ale budu oponovat, že jde o výborný písničkářský počin, který se do krve dostane pomalu, ale zůstane tam déle než ruská vodka tabletnaja. Spoustu lidí albu nepřišlo na chuť jen kvůli tomu, že mu nedali šanci pořádně se ukázat.

    5. The Dresden Dolls
    Co vznikne zkombinováním kabaretní muziky s trochou punku a gotiky? Směs výbušnější než Temelín po nájezdu rakouských traktoteroristů? Ne, vznikne Dresden Dolls. Při poslechu si připadáte jako v hledišti a „ta zpěvačka“ Vám na pódiu vylévá srdce. A má s sebou svého polo-automatického přítele (kdo si myslí, že vzor 47, mýlí se), kterému k životu stačí zatočit kličkou. A když Vám ukazuje, jak jsou ty dnešní top-dívky out a co všechny by měli změnit, zní šíleně nejen text, ale i hudba. A to jste ještě neslyšeli o jejím starším příteli, co ji zaručeně miluje (a nevadí mu, že je ještě pod zákonem). Novější alba jsem zatím moc nezkoušel.

    6. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
    Jeden skromný Američan odjel na 3 měsíce na sever (bon hiver je francouzsky dobrá zima). A bydlel v rodinné chatě. A celé dny chodil po lese a pozoroval vlky. A skládal hudbu. A tu hudbu nahrával. A vzniklé cd vydal samizdatem v počtu 500 kusů. A za chvíli byla všechna cd pryč a začala šuškanda. A následovalo regulérním vydání. A recenzenti z celého světa se mohli roztrhat, aby tomu „taky mohli dát desítku" a mohli album označit za album roku. A tak jsem to taky zkusil. A? Tři týdny poslechu téměř od rána do večera způsobila, že jsem byl přeboníverován a nemohl jsem ho ani slyšet (nic se nemá přehánět:-) Teď po delší pauze už ho zase můžu a už se mi zase točí v playlistu....

    7. Frank Sinatra - Nothing But The Best
    Výběrovka jednoho z nejvýraznějších hudebníků minulého století. Chytlavé jazzové a swingové melodie, chvílemi spíše taneční (Fly Me To The Moon), chvílemi zamilované (Somethin´ Stupid), chvílemi veselejší (Come Fly With Me), chvílemi vážnější a loučící-se-se-životem (My Way).


    8. Prague Ska Conspiracy - Life on ropes
    Jediný český zástupce neznamená, že preferuji zahraniční tvorbu, ale že malá česká země prostě nemá šanci v celosvětovém výběru. Nebo snad ano? Pokud by PSC hráli jiný žánr a hráli ho tak dobře jako ska, mohli by prorazit do světa. Koneckonců i takto se dostanou do Evropy a kdo ví, co bude za pár let. Ska, mrtvý to žánr, možná ožije v rámci moderní retro vlny. Debut od PSC je pro mě záhada - ska jsem slyšel poprvé až u této skupiny a VŠECHNY jejich písničky z tohoto alba jsou úžasné a v Media Playeru mám u všech hodnocení 5 hvězdiček. To nikde jinde nemám! A že je jejich tvorba více než málo inspirovaná slavnějšími ska skupinami, mi vůbec nevadí. Navíc jsem byl i na koncertě (až potom, co jsem je začal poslouchat) a naživo jsou ještě o 100 procent lepší než z i tak výborného cd. Tahle skupina je pro mě důkazem, že i v malém českém rybníčku (spíš v hnusné špinavé díře od septiku) může vzniknout něco super.

    9. Franz Ferdinand
    Britských kytarovek je tolik, že by se daly obracet vidlema. Kdo je poslouchá všechny, má u mě malé bezvýznamné plus. Kdo ne, může si pogratulovat, protože asi není blázen:) Skupina Franz Ferdinand, odkazující se na rakouského státníka (přeci ten, kvůli kterému se rozpoutala první světovka, vy zabedněnci :-), smíchala chytlavé melodie, staré dobré anglické písničkářství, inspirovala se u Zeppelinů (jen trochu ubrala na drsnosti) a úspěch byl zaručen. Na celém albu je jen 1 písnička, co mi nesedí (Cheating On You), zbytek miluji bez výhrad. Otázka na závěr - k čemu asi odkazuje text „you´re just a crosshair“? :-)

    10. Led Zeppelin I
    1969. Led Zeppelin. Počátek hard-rocku, na který navazuje metal a jemu podobní. Víc není třeba dodávat. Snad jen, že jejich ostatní alba mě moc nechytla a jedná se asi o nejstarší věc, co poslouchám (snad jen Franky je starší).

    11. Jamelia - Walk With Me
    Při pohledu na číslovku je snad všem jasné, že tohle album kazí můj TOP 10 žebříček. Ale já ho sem prostě musel dát. Pro mě něco mezi „sluchátkovou hudbou“ a guilty pleasure. Skvělý výběr pokud Vás nechá holka, pokud máte špatný den nebo prostě jen tak. Tím nechci naznačit, že je to emo, to vůbec ne. Většina skladeb má skoro až veselou náladu a ve skutečnosti jde o mix r´n´b, rapu a popu. A o výborný mix! Nechápu, že album víceméně propadlo. Možná kdyby se vys*ali na cenzuru:-) a album produkoval třeba Američan, šlo by o prodejní trhák. Kdo kdy viděl nebo slyšel vypípávání fucků v písničce? Ale já jsem rád, že je album jaké je, protože kvůli snaze o prodejnost by došlo na podbízivost a klišoidnost. Což tu chybí. Nevěříte? Window Shopping - jde s kámoškou nakupovat do obchoďáku a zkouší si věci tady a támhle, pak se přesune o patro výš a vše nanovo. Že by narážka na nafintěný slečínky? Docela originální námět na písničku, ne? Paradoxně nejraději mám popovitou Something About You

    nevešlo se
    Gaia Mesiah - Ocean: další skvělé české album. Ale dokonalé není

    Deep Dish - George Is On: housová muzika, to je oč tu běží

    Sirenia - At Sixes and Sevens: výborný metal, co zní skoro jako ze středověku:-)

    Tori Amos - American Doll Posse: Američanka, co se nebojí říct lidem co dělají špatně

    Vintersorg - Cosmic Genesis: škatulka avantgard-metal je sice pasující, ale jinak hrozná. Já tomu spíš říkám sci-fi metal. Aneb snaha o inovaci metalu přinesla zajímavý výsledek.

    Vladimir 518 - Gorilla vs. Architekt: jeden z mála světových a jediný český raper, kterého můžu. Důkazem, že nejde o f´ck-you-nigga produkt dokazuje i spoluúčast Leška Semelky.

    Xindl X - Návod na čtení manuálu: naděje českého folku (komu vadí, že je to spíš raper), Pan Textař nebo prase úchylný - tak se dá Xindl nazvat. Mezi nejlepší podle mně patří Čert nás vem. Koho by zajímalo, jak zní Xindl na ČT24, tak tady

    Renee Olstead - ve črnácti nahrála album. Emérická Ewa Farná? A zpívá Ewa Farná jazz? Asi ne...


    just discovered
    alba, co jsem nedávno stáhl a tak by nebylo fér je dávat do TOP10. Třeba příště:-)

    Fleet Foxes: old-school folk rock

    Kraftwerk - Electric Cafe: "sci-fi" elektronická urban hudba z roku ´86, co i těď zní jako z budoucnosti

    The Strokes - Is This It: Americká obdoba Franze Ferdinanda

    Lucas Newton - Conquistador: Vy neznáte Lukáše Grygara?


    guilty pleasure
    Incubus - Light Grenades

    Kanye West - Graduation

    Kylie Minogue - X

    The Ting Things - We Started Nothing

  • Redhead Survey

    Nov 21 2006, 6h36 por sapphirestarz

    So...this doesn't have a lot to do with music, but a friend and I have always wondered what people thought of redheads. We made a survey and we're trying to get as many results as possible. The survey is completely anonymous, so say whatever you feel about redheads.

    http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~rsummers3/redhead/redheadsurvey.html

    I would really appreciate it if you guys would take it! It's not very long.
