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.
The more I listen to Sporto Kantes, the more I tell to myself that they are simply… men of genius. It is strange to me that in the Internet there is so very few information
about them. Maybe because I did not search for French sites…
Despite my general dislike for reggae I am so fond these days of “Regular Customer” from “2nd round”. I feel like singing it when I go into any nice supermarket and I am hungry. The idea is a bit different though:)
I’m just a regular customer
/I’m just a regular guy/
I’m just a regular customer
Nothing else Mr.Officer
Mean no trouble noone
So why you want to lock me in jail
Maybe I’m wrong today
But I was not yesterday
just a regular customer…
“One two..You know what to do…” And here it goes…
“The Information” is so fresh, makes me so happy that hardly anything recently can
compare with it. (It was Sporto Kantes last week but they are kind of more serious
and do not make me so dancy.)
The album is very visualistic to say. Sounds like the OST of an old science fiction
movie from the 70’s. With dancing green aliens and happy astronauts in funny bubbling costumes. There is the rocky ”Nausea” and the
breathing in ”The Information” resembles Bjork in the “Medulla”-album. I find at most two of the songs a bit narrative musically and not so exciting,
all the rest are alive and sparkling.
So, you know what to do…! Happy new Beck!
