Viv Albertine // The Slits

Hi people,

a few days ago I have read a post from Swiss Adam, about Viv Albertine. He featured a new clip from the former member of the Slits. I was astonished that she's still in the scene and making music. I agree to him, that is nearly impossible to be close to mid 50's and looking this way.

I love to her her songs and I hope you too. This one is an really old one - a traditional soul tune from Marvin Gaye performed by the Slits in their lo-fi punk attitude.

The Slits - I heard it through the grapevine

Have fun and enjoy

Songs The Lord taught us Pt. 1

Hi,

I have indicated that I put in future subject-related Posts. Here I will introduce some songs which lie to me very much with the heart or which have always accompanied me during the last years.

I talked with my brother in law Ed this weekend and he told me about a ranking list in the United states of America of the best southern fried rock songs ever. The number one song was a great tune from the Marshall Tucker Band called 'Cant't you see'. For me it is one of my favorite love songs ever. Not even for love - but what a woman can make out of a man.

So listen and enjoy!

Rebel Yell: Catalania is not spain

Hi,
tonight there will be one more time the classico in spanish football between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. What is new is the fact, that the supportes of Barcelona will demonstrate for more autonomy for the catalonians. I don't know, if it is because of the so called Euro-crisis or not. But I shure know, that the same effort becoming more autonomy was one of the main reasons for starting spanish civil war.

What happened there is also a dark side of german history. All the fascist leaders of europe supported the fascist nationalist general Franko. Remember Legion Condor an their horrible bombing of Guernica.

What is seldom told, is that in these war fought a lot of men from all over Europe to support the spanish people in their fight against the fascist. They are known as the international socialist brigades.

This song remains of them and give them a musical memorial.

Listen, enjoy and have a good week.

Rebel yell

Hi,

I want to try to bring a little structure in my Blog and will publish in future in irregular distances subject-related posts. I would like to start with a post which I call Rebel Yell. I have lately found out that I have quite a lot of songs on my computer which have on the one hand a concrete political relation or denounce, on the other hand, social mismanagement. And just these songs I hear since several months increasingly.

Let me start with an traditional. This is a song about the true side of the war, where there are no heroes, but only victims.

The facts of life

Hi,

I just looked at the Champions League game Manchaster City against Borussia Dortmund and cannot still calm down about the wrongfully given penalty. But thus just functions football. There will always be a referee who sees the determining situation different than the fans of the respective team would have with pleasure.

Anyway - trouble won't last long. I give you a song by Blackbox Recorder to get cool with me.

Enjoy
