Greetings, Hiveans. A bit of oldies, a bit of modern names. This time my iphone produced a tracks transition that does not look monumental, but provided some names/titles that you may find unknown, and I'd be happy to educate you about.
The Doors - I looked at you
How many times I have thought: thats my favorite band of all time!.. definitely one of the things that make you love 70-es. Shuffle mode in iphone player is a good thing, but sometimes it builds transitions that are not enjoyable at all; you see - Doors tunes coming up in playlist, momentarily adjust you to the certain mood; you want to switch to one of their LPs, instead of listening to any other stuff that comes next. In this way, 'I looked at you' spoiled my playlist, haha.
What is absolutely great about song, it is lyrics, the story. It is a love song (arent there too many of such stuff?) and very simple one. In our crazy post-post-modern world, it reminds us of simple things, as simple as it sounds: I looked at you - you looked at me - I smiled at you - you smiled at me - I walked with you - you walked with me ... lets leave the end of the story to fantasy. Simplicity like this is unattainable today. Go listen to the Doors 1st LP immediately, and remember - those were the days...
Os Mutantes - El Justiciero
What do we know about Brazil, sitting here on a chair? Not too much: Portuguese language, a major coffee exporter, dangerous mosquitoes, Carnaval do Brasil... but what about music? No certain name comes to mind. I will introduce you to 'Os Mutantes' now.
Fantastic psychedelic rock-band from the 60s, one of the great representatives of the 'tropicalia' style - can be compared with 'the Beatles', although of course the scale was smaller. The active phase of the group's existence did not last long, conflicts with the military authorities and drug problems led to the breakup of the group. It is a pity that we will never hear the ten studio albums that they could have recorded in that era, if the circumstances had been different.
Что мы знаем о Бразилии? А ну-ка, не сходя с места (не спрашивая у гугля)? португальский язык, крупный экспортер кофе, опасные москиты, Карнавал... а что насчет музыки? Мало что приходит в голову. Ну, с именем 'Os Mutantes' я вас сейчас познакомлю.
Фантастическая рок-банда из 60-es, ярчайший представитель 'tropicalia' - почти местные 'the Beatles', хотя масштаб конечно поменьше. Активная фаза существования продлилась семь лет, противостояние с властями привели к распаду группы. Никогда нам не узнать, какую пачку студийных альбомов они могли бы записать, сложись обстоятельства иначе. (Ещё.)
The Unsettlers - A Bell Hop's Lament
This clip has as much as 4 Youtube likes only! it looks incredible but that's how it is and it's not because it's some kind of crap. I predict you never be getting this band in recommendations, which is pretty sadly. 'The Unsettlers'
In my opinion these are a rare exception to the overall rule 'They don't do it like that anymore! Lucky we. I hope you enjoyed today's music selection, and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by @ablaze.
