It is a very long time I have been listening to the Desert Sessions now. About two months…:). And I did not have time to write something here. Now I want to make up for it.
It started with PJ Harvey, my dearest rocking queen. I found that she took part in the 9-10 volume of the Desert Sessions. And my absolute favourite songs became “A girl like me” and “Powdered wig machine”. Besides – the tearing “Dead in love”.
At the time I fell in love with them the red tulips were blossoming and I was wаndering in Rakosszentmihai in Budapest when the gypsies were guarding old bathtubs thrown for the big yearly garbage collection. And by me passed rusty “lada” cars burdened with enormous Teddy bears, chairs and dilapidated tables tied with ropes to the luggage-grids on the roofs of the cars. Then I went back in the chronology to the 7-8 volume, I loved “Up in hell” and “Nenada”… And back to the first volumes with few hits for me…
Now I have some new sweethearts, like Bluba Lu and the new Sporto Kantes. But nothing can delete the memory of the tearing rocking-rolling Desert Sessions.
I do not know much about them, the vocal is Nino Gomes, they play in Sofia, Bulgraia, and have a crazy crazy video. I have heard this Nino at some concerts in Sofia…as far as I remember they sounded much more ordinary. These new things though…deserve attention:). At myspace : www.myspace.com/25dp
This is the 2007 album of one of my favourite Bulgarian bands – Bluba Lu. I could hear it last week and was quite obsessed by it. It is not good for the MP3-player, too sluggish to muffle the traffic noises, but it is wonderful for the cool June rainy afternoons at home. I remember that the first time I heard the new things with a female vocal, whilst the previous albums were instrumental, I did not like it. Now I changed my mind. This is calm, melancholic, but not too depressive music. Stylish and jazzy, young and vital.
