Long time passed though few things happened – a few exams, not as much as needed research, The Do, the 2007 album of Manu Chao that finally suits my eclectic taste because of the scraping guitars.
Yesterday evening at last we were at a concert at the Buda-side ship A38 in the Danube. We saw the Hungarian band Folk error with a very sexy front man, false saxophone and and a bit messy arrangements, still they were OK.
The headliners were the Moldovan Zdob si Zdub, that as our Moldovan housemate showed expressively hitting the desk with a hand and kicking it with a leg means “Crash Bang”. He does not like “loud music” but he admitted that they are proud of their band Zdob si Zdub. And this is completely well-founded. They are world quality band!
Alive, charming, specific…maybe a bit lost in the Balkan reminiscences in the last album, sounding less authentic but in the good old style of…ethnorock maybe. Perfect for a concert and a good doze of jumping and screaming.
Great band.
Very charming duo. A couple in life, OK, I am happy for them; a couple in music – that is something great, we are all very happy!
Their first album is “A mouthful” – a light playful sound – “Playground hustle”,”Queen dot king” ; with some dark moments like “The bridge is broken”. This last one was my first meeting with them at last.fm, and I was catched by the air around them.
They also have a good sense of humour. Like in “Aha”, this singer makes it so artistically absurd!
So, I have it in my player now and it twists me well – The do – with some strange spelling of “o”, I guess from the Finnish, as the vocal has it in her blood .
Yes, baby, Britney Spears!
This is the first time I am writing her name in English by any occasion so I had to check the spelling in Google. I am writing now because she has two very catchy songs that I heard in youtube recently – “Gimme more” and “Piece of me”. And I am very very perplexed about her and me, and her wedging into my pieceful musical existence.
I have never liked her before, I am not sure that I like her now, but I am starting to respect her a bit… And I have always agreed that her hits are good for dancing and very catchy. I hope she recovers from her depression, I also read yellow pages sometimes and I am sick of her overexposed personal dramas there.
Hah, let’s add Brithey Spears to my tags. Funny, isn’t it?
