<br />So here we are. Summer's about to end. At least for me, since my vacation days are nearly over (a big SNIFF in here, just like in comics)
<br />
<br />Where Summer's 2011 memories lead us to? A Tiny Tide album and a collaborative EP.
<br />
<br />Here's the first gift from us, an EP called "Plato's Summer Sparks". We hope you like the songs and that you'll give some feedback to the artists who took part in this little (and warm!) Summer adventure.
<br />

<br />Look. It's really late. I MEAN IT! It's 03.07 am in Italy, and I'm probably doin' a lot of noise just ticking the keyboard's keys. Moreover... my head is about to explode! In just a day and a half I recorded the last 3 songs for Plato, but managed only to finish this one...
<br />

<br />
<br />And do you remember the lyrics that I passed to John to turn'em out in a song? Well... HE DID IT! And WHAT A GREAT SONG! So proud of him! It's like Julian Lennon singing a new hit! And the sound of the song is SO clear, not like my usual chaos! The song turned from "Falling Skies" to "Yesterday's News", and you can listen it... HERE!

<br />
<br />Well, this Summer is about to end. I came up with 11 songs, and I feel like it makes sense to gather'em together in an album, just like a diary. It make sense. That's why I think that we'll have two releases instead of one: "Plato's Summer Stars" and the EP "Plato's Summer Sparks".
<br />
<br />But - as I was telling you - my head is cracking, and it's really late. So I think I better leave you with the lyrics of "Caroline Yeah", another love song and a direct reply to Brian Wilson :)
<br />
<br />Take it a way Wil!
<br />
<br />"CAROLINE YEAH"
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Don't ever ever try to change your hair</span>

Even close in this place London Riot acts easily managed to disrupt into my room through news, reports, but especially by the updates of some friends of mine living in there. Don't know why all this madness managed to catch my attention and hurt my feelings more than worldwide economy breakdown or the fights in Syria and Afghanistan. Maybe because friends were involved, possibly because it's still Europe and as for me it was totally unespected. Having a diary of Summer 2011 would have sounded quite lame ignoring those riots, so here's my song supporting the MET POLICE against London Riots what you can join and help subscibing here (or maybe I should talk in past tense if you're reading this from the future and a) all this madness is just history or b) England doesn't exist anymore and wer've got New Shanghai instead.)
<br />
<br />Anyway. Here's the song.

<br />
<br />NAME AND SHAME
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"We are watching happening right now, any second counts</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I could get updated by a tweet or a shout</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Use your power, don't steal and keep calm, bring the police down</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mindless thugs the ones that should have payed by now</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Hope that all those bobbies will stay safe tonight</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Shoppers even had no insurance.</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Families have lost their hopes and place, I'm ashamed</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">No one moved a finger on those fat beefeaters</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Give'em guns, blow'em up</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">fill this great lack of regard</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I don't care, what it's right</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I'm just waiting for the cop cars</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Name and shame</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I can't see your face today</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Herd the scums, like rouge cats</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">and then shipp'em to Afghan</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What the Fuck</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">it's a crime</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Bring on water and dum shots</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Name and shame</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Sign right here for your own safe</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Police had a lot of calls today</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Did somebody set a page?</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Violence won't bring back your home today</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">All because of all these mindless thugs</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Where are all the parents now?</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Are they guilty just like us?</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wanna try to see who wears the mask?</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You can't hide a face for that long time</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wonder what became of human rights</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A shoot in the leg should be enough...</span>
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Give'em guns, blow'em up</span>

<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Name and shame</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It's abuse thrown on our face</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Useless cunts, stinky rats </span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">will they grow to stab your back</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The whole place</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">goin to Hell</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">who will save us from ourselves</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Name and shame</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Name and shame</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Bring me water for scum bags</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Can't believe what England has become</span>

For once in a while I managed to finish my new Platonic song just in time for a Sunday afternoon nap. I was really pleased that Piper wrote me thankin' me for the nice DJSet. It has been very sweet of her. After my "Italiafornian" week with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Puro Instinct</span> I sat one evening writing a song that was supposed to be a very minimal acoustic ballad on the casual neckbone hacks that hit me from time to time. Here's where the name <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Nimesuline EG"</span> come from. It's the name of a painkiller.<br /><br />As I was saying it was supposed to be a very simple acoustic ballad, but plans changed as I bought last <span style="font-weight: bold;">Of Montreal</span> EP.<br /><br />That's what you get.<br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F20145694"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F20145694" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide/nimesulide-eg">Nimesulide EG</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide">tinytide</a></span><br /><br /><br />And lyrics...<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"I haven't slept all night</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">the pain was too much</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">except for that small part</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">where I came for your heart</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And while my bones did ache</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Not a thing I couldn't make</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You know it was a mere</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">but I took all that I could take</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I was banned, banned elsewhere, but not here</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It was easy, easy all the way but here</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You were present for a moment, for a day</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I was taken right before the expiry date</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">So time came to wake up</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">and my head was still a mess</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">my brain cut in small parts</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">extra beats pumped in my heart</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And while I couldn't wait</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">All I needed was a break</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You know that I could melt</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">If I can't take care for my health</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I was banned, banned elsewhere, but not here</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It was easy, easy all the way but here</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You were present for a moment, for a day</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I was taken right before the expiry date</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-diabetes</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-infection</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-biotics</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-hypertension</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-jokes</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">and anti-choke</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">and andti-bodies</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-dote</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-gen</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-christ</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-climax</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-missile</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-freeze</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-smog</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-pode</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">anti-social</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">just anti"</span>Zondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688709089472727053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106226049528358220.post-44142164527831129562011-07-29T11:19:00.001-07:002011-07-29T11:33:23.975-07:00Hash Piper<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaO1dIwnGS3fRT7j-SvhD1mxSUaJBwVqNbaXfV8s4D_hW-W4RxXYGprE9zA2dJ_xxJjhtqKbt5layOeYxayTzPq4KIlEEBWdYjCEMmdWBFa2oPbrpsP1YbjoaexW8z5XihxYzBn9gY9vM/s1600/hash.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaO1dIwnGS3fRT7j-SvhD1mxSUaJBwVqNbaXfV8s4D_hW-W4RxXYGprE9zA2dJ_xxJjhtqKbt5layOeYxayTzPq4KIlEEBWdYjCEMmdWBFa2oPbrpsP1YbjoaexW8z5XihxYzBn9gY9vM/s400/hash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634843732468653410" border="0" /></a>Today has been a bad day. I spent so many energies on writing and recording the new song in just one day that my body cracked, and I had a little breakdown. Nevertheless life went on, and I struggler with all the power I had left to carry on my tasks, mainly because I felt the urge to hear my new track on the car stereo :)<br /><br />This week I had the great honour to be the DJ for the American psych-pop band <a href="http://puroinstinct.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Puro Instinct</span></a>. It was a nice night, and Kaplan sisters did a great show. Funniest thing of the experience? The singer obsession with hash, so that I started to call her <span style="font-style: italic;">"Hash Piper"</span> instead of <span style="font-style: italic;">"Piper Kaplan"</span> (of course I didn't miss the chance to play the obvious consequential Weezer song :) )<br /><br />That's my attempt to write and record a psych-pop song inspired by the two sisters reports on socials. Extra note: I think I'd never made so many pronunciation mistakes in a song. Enjoy.<br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F19983299"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F19983299" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide/hash-piper">Hash Piper</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide">tinytide</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"HASP PIPER"</span><br />Tiny Tide<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Loving you it's easy</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />You're out of your fucking mind</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">Not just a psy-folk geezer</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I am so sad about us</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">You know that I'm in ruins.</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">You gotta do what you know it's right</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />So make me swag I beg you</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />The only thing I like</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'Cause that is that</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />little brat</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">I've got the cash so bring me hash</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">So bring her</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Hash Piper<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Our last night show was quite weird</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">with chronic needs and wasted drums</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">I miss you dude it's pretty rad<br />but not like when where having fun</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Heart broken and quite stoned friends</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />I'm Hanging with my Hand grenade</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">I'm warning you, I'm coming there</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">don't wanna get you unprepared.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />And that is that</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">No time to chat</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I've got that cash, don't make me upset</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />So make me</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Has Piper</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Hello!

So it happen that even a tv-show like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Torchwood</span> is able to turn your day in a... <span style="font-weight: bold;">MIRACLE day</span>!<br /><br />This song has many influences anyway. First of all, I've been to a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lou Reed</span> show yesterday, and It was funny trying to imitate his voice. As for the lyrics I used some notes I took on the beach a week ago after having picked up the silliest sentences I heard from the youngsters I had around while tanning at 1000° under the sun and the hot sand.<br /><br />I was really impressed by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dr. Sheldrake</span>. As a human being and for its revolutionary theories, such as the one about the morphic resonance and stuff... theory that I tried to extend to... beach parties!<br /><br />So here's my song anyway. Some feeeeeeeedback would be sweet.<br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F19701991"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F19701991" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide/miracle-day">Miracle Day</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide">tinytide</a></span><br /><br />Here's the lyrics:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MIRACLE DAY</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Oh, My dear your skin will fall the day</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> you will remember what we said</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">under sunny skies that burnt our flesh like Hell</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><span style="font-style: italic;">He's so lucky when it comes to girls</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"> Just because he wears my pants</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">But I'll never lose my charm</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And if we all get drunk and dance all the night</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Then we will have more fun and dance all the night</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Had just three, four beers but I'm feeling alright</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">in cosmic resonance</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">'cause Hey!

As long as our diary. Week after week my little World is filled with dreams, then I wake up and I'm not surprise to see it's just the same.</div><br />As an artist I'm really kin on not revealing too many information about boring stuff such as work and the times I go to the bathroom, but I'm forced to say that the title of this song came from an account I'm dealing with when I'm in my Clark Kent mood.<br /><br />Being said that I was glad to see again that girl. Meeting her and talk a while really warmth my heart. So once again I tried to put all this feelings in a single song.<br /><br />Another unexpected twist - a very bad one - were people coming at my door knocking for me being too noisy. ME? NOISY??! I swear my foot was way too far from the TURBO OVERDRIVE Pedal! (thanks to <b>Robert Schneider</b> from<b> <a href="http://www.applesinstereo.com/">Apples in Stereo</a></b> for being supportive and sympathetic with this situation)<br /><br />ALSO: I friended <b><a href="http://vajamming.blogspot.com/">Marnie Stern</a></b> and began to massively listen to her stuff. That's why I tried to have some tap guitar in the song... As you can see the result was not so impressive, and I don't think I'll come back to that technique, unless someone is willing to help!<br /><br />And the last one: did you knew that <b>Karen Gillian</b> is not from Wales? Find it out in my song :)<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18756996"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18756996" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide/shoes-got-an-hold-on-me">Shoes Got A Hold On Me</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tinytide">tinytide</a></span>Zondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688709089472727053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106226049528358220.post-79298925630955083032011-07-08T11:22:00.001-07:002011-07-08T23:15:27.944-07:00So Into You<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVvDTwo6S5WgAaErB6nqrL1dCAgt5vK1sihnCrDQIdh8tzphBDJXFNPwIapn5mWTt1t1ipwb-7c5IpoHHagLsylM9_y6UZNQN5GQZNFZ3FnkfDh-UyDgvYjZmHJULOIYRgRe3eS77mPVM/s1600/into.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVvDTwo6S5WgAaErB6nqrL1dCAgt5vK1sihnCrDQIdh8tzphBDJXFNPwIapn5mWTt1t1ipwb-7c5IpoHHagLsylM9_y6UZNQN5GQZNFZ3FnkfDh-UyDgvYjZmHJULOIYRgRe3eS77mPVM/s400/into.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627052584486170002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Second song by The Significant Others: So Into You.<br /><br />Join the REAL Summer of Luv :)<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18656926"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F18656926" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/platosummerstars/the-significant-others-so-into">The Significant Others - So Into You</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/platosummerstars">platosummerstars</a></span>Zondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688709089472727053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106226049528358220.post-63295765033519807322011-07-08T08:16:00.000-07:002011-07-08T08:33:18.167-07:00STRANGE SUMMER, STRANGE MIX ( OF FEELINGS )Very strange summer this one. A mix of different feelings is damaging my brain. From one side: SADNESS AND A SENSE OF MELANCHOLIA. indeed, after 5 years of great times, my record shop will close at the end of year and i had to search a new work and start again with something different. I tried to postpone the closure but there's nothing to do. this blog is not a place to discuss the music future's, but we'll going to do this in the next future Mr.Zonda....right?<br />from other side: HAPPINESS for the birth of my second child and for the acquaintance of very nice people during the last year ( Mark you're one of these people sure! ).<br />this strange mix finds peace at night when ( after 2 lemonsoda glasses , of course ) i plug my jack in the recorder and i start to write and play music that i love.<br />The next one will be a special song for this blog.<br /><br />p.s. I definitevely decided to support Costa Rica team during this year's Copa America!crrystal mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10127905919544684502noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106226049528358220.post-72357834448293343772011-07-04T14:48:00.000-07:002011-07-04T15:08:41.432-07:00Falling Skies<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBxrxCy53JZH3eK9tkBlZ024Ks2Xl8QQjrSlNmfQ345d6raY5H4B8cUZiGiW4bBSlKje5dkXSbQXdVbfXMIwRFu7n-0hmFRQTbG-D36Gaok9TIEY7B_2cUyNm2O1N5l24mTFobq8aItwk/s1600/lacrime.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 261px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBxrxCy53JZH3eK9tkBlZ024Ks2Xl8QQjrSlNmfQ345d6raY5H4B8cUZiGiW4bBSlKje5dkXSbQXdVbfXMIwRFu7n-0hmFRQTbG-D36Gaok9TIEY7B_2cUyNm2O1N5l24mTFobq8aItwk/s400/lacrime.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625620845065008386" border="0" /></a><br />I have to admit that Summer 2011 is plotting at its best against me for turning out indeed quite exciting and more cheerful than expected! When <span style="font-style: italic;">John Montalto</span> from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/significantothersnyc"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Significant Others</span></a> asked me to try and write some music together for this project I was wondering on how the simple expectation for a TV Serie could save your days in a boring summer. But blame it on my stupid stupid feelings and this delightful chilly Italian night and I'm quite ready to swear that this season it's not quite bad at all.<br /><br />I just come back from Marco's studio to get the masters of the songs of my next album. It was strange waiting three months for mixing and recording vocals when it took only two months to write and record the songs. Still it worth the wait and I'm REALLY happy with it too!<br /><br />So here's once again this mixed emotion turning out to build up a song, being the <a href="http://libcom.org/news/italy-civil-war-valsusa-%E2%80%93-repression-against-no-tav-movement-03072011">NO-TAV </a>situation near Turin being the second fact of the day puzzling with my thoughts in da brain.<br /><br />Here's the lyrics John. I'm looking forward to see this stuff turning out in a song and hear it in a proper American accent. Feel free to change any of the words in it :)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FALLING SKYES</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Sunday riots over High-Speed Rails<br />Got Police caught in the Clash<br />Washing my hands on strawberry Jam<br />See that goodie spoilt away<br /><br />Bikes, Pipes, Pocketbooks<br />Tell me how far are you going to<br />Ropes, Drugs<br /><br /><br />Stones, Pies, Diamonds too<br />The day is done and I miss you<br /><br /><br />And I'm looking bad for falling skies<br />to fall over our heads<br />Night is crawling and you are so far<br />Bailing out on the junk<br /><br /><br />So I came to take what I had left<br />To watch flowers blooming from ice age<br />It was long ago but worth the wait<br />everything it's really good in the end<br /><br />Cheese, Water, Tin Machines<br />Won't you rest a while and stay with me?<br />Bee Gees, XTC<br /><br />Jets, Wings, Arcade Fires<br />Boredom is a state of mind<br /><br />And I'm looking bad for falling skies<br />to fall over our heads<br />Night is crawling and you are so far<br />Bailing out on the junk"<br /></span>Zondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688709089472727053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106226049528358220.post-75982117705060172812011-07-03T12:30:00.000-07:002011-07-03T12:46:52.554-07:00Shooting With The Welsh Girl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqCPVK5d4bqFPhv213fIenxaUTORycqmy-B37-bcMTehvt-aU0P9XrXmH0GLQVKwJmPVkKoBtI0mXuJVB2hgyrPo3qPvH7MjIw0oEiaWiT3Rcec5FqLnX7qEIjDPsRg_oybc0aE5Hx48/s1600/base.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqCPVK5d4bqFPhv213fIenxaUTORycqmy-B37-bcMTehvt-aU0P9XrXmH0GLQVKwJmPVkKoBtI0mXuJVB2hgyrPo3qPvH7MjIw0oEiaWiT3Rcec5FqLnX7qEIjDPsRg_oybc0aE5Hx48/s400/base.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625213744263141826" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Almost a perfect weekend.

That is not even a proper blog, but somewhat between a music diary, a place to gather fire-flies, a page to run to in boredom, happiness and despair, a chance to immortalize Summer 2011 with the souvenir of a lifetime.</div><div><br /></div><div>I won't go anywhere special this summer. I'll be stuck in my town. That will be wistfully desert, as always. I dreamt to run away in America, for the biggest adventure ever, still I haven't even got the money to go and meet friends at Indietracks. That left me with a bunch of fantasies, dreams, and a fuckload of happy sunbeams!</div><div><br /></div><div>What will this "Place" will be used for then? We'll write summersongs! How will it work?</div><div><ol><li>Write me to have an account to this blog</li><li>Feel free to write whatever Summer 2011 will whisper in your ears</li><li>Write a song and send it to me at <a href="mailto:king@kingemrecords.com">king@kingemrecords.com</a></li></ol><div>At the end of the summer I'll gather'em on an album and we'll share it to followers and friends!</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Since it's summer and I'll be forced to play with my windows wide open, guess my songs will not be electric or noisy oriented. And very personal. And funny sometime, I hope. </div><div><br /></div><div>But, above all, songs shall to be lo-fi and very quick, in order to catch the impression of a day while it's still alive in your soul, and images are still fresh in your retina.</div><div><br /></div><div>Agreed? Let's go!</div>Zondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688709089472727053noreply@blogger.com2
