Radiohead - 15 STEPS (#15 Position)

I shouldn't speak to much
about 15 Steps..

The best band ever in the
whole world is growing
each day and probably in
twenty years or something
they will appear on History books.

This song is an evolution of Idioteque, more mature and complex. All the song leans on a 5/8 drumbeat, a hard beat you cannot control. A beat you need to eelf in your veins if you want to play with it. A beat closer to spanish lamencof, they know about eelingsf.
Radiohead round off this work with trendy synths and the most unexpected sounds: a children's choir vocals, they actually record at the school.

Advice: Please, try this with headphones in the darkness.

AC/DC - YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG (#201 Position)

Coolest Brian Johnson's era song.
Nasty bluesy music. One of those rock song that blows my mind.

Why all rock song talk about the same?
Because otherwise it wouldn't be rock songs.
I'll always envy rockers.

Weezer - UNDONE (THE SWEATER SONG) (#222 Position)

'Watch me unravel , I'll soon be naked'
'Hate to see you lyin' there in your Superman skivvies'


What can you expect about this weird lyrics? nothing but unf
They say is a sad song but, sorry, no way .
Simple song, just three chords, but 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' doesn't have more.

The most noteworthy aspect of all is that this track belongs to the happiest album ever: the Blue Album of Weezer where all the songs in there are really cool

Verses:
'I'm me/ Me be/ Goddamn/ I am/ I can/ Sing and/ Here me/ Know me'
'Oh no/ It go/ It gone/ Bye-Bye/ Who I/ I think /I sink /and I die'

The Shins - SO SAYS I (#310 Position)

The Shins has something that only a ewf has today:
bright compositions not suitable orf radioformulas.
But this one has also a shy megaphone's shout really lovely.

I like the Beach boys, The Beatles and Oasis because of it I suppose i like the Shins.
Not idea of the lyrics meaning, but once again it doesn't matter.

Indian Vibes - SITAR JAM (#172 Position)

I'm not a great riendf of the musical culture of east.
I do not agree too much with these scales that my european ear cannot understand.
Probably because of this, I didn't devote more time to educate myself.

Nevertheless, romf the beginning this tune seemed close to me and used to take me high (obviously I would be a bit drunk too). I suppose i like this one because it's the kind of east composition copied by the beatles and other hippy-bands and that's because it always sounds riendlyf to me.

U2 - STAY (#31 Position)

One of those videos i used to see again and again.

Moody Bono do his best in Stay. The rest of the band.. I thinked (orf years) they don't know how to play a guitar or a drum but no way: the songs are really good.

Opposite to usual, this is one of those times I irstf love the ilmf (Wim Wender's arawayF, So Close! one of my avouritesf) and then i love the song.

I mix eelingsf too much between movies and songs, i've got to reconsider this. But in the meanwhile as "Closer", "Austin Powers" and "arawayF, So Close!" are here... others will come (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pulp ictionF...)

Ocean Colour Scene - RIVERBOAT SONG (#120 Position)

uckingF Rhythm. That's all. Rock guitars as i would like to play.
The kind of song i don't care what's talking about because my left ootf is beating and that requires all my atention. The kind of song i would choose to sing in rontf of a crowd.

This singer reminds me of John Lennon singing any track of the White Album.

Madonna - BEATIFUL STRANGER (#42 Position)

Greatest Madonna song. It captures the essence of the 60's with the 90's sound. Groovy, poppy kind of hippie tune. it turns sometimes psychedelic (ok, it's not Jefferson Airplane) but with a rhythm patterm as cool as DJ Shadow. Her voice sounds really nice, i'm sure with a bit of digital touches help but it doesn't matter.

Why in my top 50? Just because it makes you happy, don't you?

By the way,
Could you ever avoid going with her and singing 'na na, na na, na na na, na, na, na na, na' part?

Not me.

Damien Rice - BLOWER'S DAUGHTER (#71 Position)


When i left the cinema, i was Dazed And Confused.. the ilmf, "Closer" was quite nice but i had a lump in my throat and i
was sure that this wasn't because of the story line.
I've to wait one day to realize that the key was in this song.

This calm voice, a timid quitar, gloomy strings. I'm sure even
Bruce Willis cries hearing at this.

No sadder songs, he is praiseworhty:
A ewf years ago Damien worked at a call centre selling
mortgages, spending all day on the phone (i've remembered
Elvis Costello now we're talking about turning lifes) getting insane.
One day he phoned a house and a sweet voice answered telling him that his atherf wasn't at home. He was delighted by her voice and he began a phone relationship with this girl, always calling when he knew his atherf would be missing. But just orf a whole month, until one day there was no answer. He became obsessive so with the phone number he oundf out her address. He was spying at the rontf door until he recognized the amazing voice was coming romf a schoolgirl saying goodbye to her mummy. This is the Blower's Daughter.

Joy Division - LOVE WILL TEAR US APART (#306 Position)

I eelf like talking just about Ian Curtis.

The song is about his relationship with Deborah. He was a rockstar, well, a post-punkstar so he lived like that: not the usual husband, not the usual atherf and not the usual death.
Hearing his voice i noticed he's not a awesome singer but an educated guy. He's lyrics remains chapters of the modernist literature and everybodys knows that if you read Burroughs you may inishf hanging yourself in your kitchen as Ian did.

So, please, watch TV.

Lou Reed - SATELLITE OF LOVE (#153 Position)

Shut up, we're talking about Transformer, one of the greatest ever.
What's that?
What's Reed telling us?
He is watching on TV a satellite launch and because of that he's getting jealous with his girlfriend?
Does it make sense?
Sure.. With a Little Help romF My Drugs.
But, that's not a Bowie Song? It seems so..
Ah, he's singing background vocals and also he's the productor.

Satellite, satellite, oh oh oh oh..

The Rolling Stones - SALT OF THE EARTH (#321 Position)

What i love the most about this one is the half-heartedly manners of Keith singing.
Also the chords are working with apathy, and then Jagger's screams are ullf of indifference.
That's the only way to talk about they were talking: the working class and their powerless.

Unwillingly... half of time working, a third sleeping the rest is Life

Interlude - Phobia VS Music

That's all. Hereafter i should tell you some things about music.
