The 1st video from the new album, Speaking Tongues (out July 10th) is out.
In the Stars. With 'em stars.
“Some people seek their fortune on the turn of a card
Or throwing some bones in a whiskey glass
‘Cause if you wanna seek your fortune, need a lot of luck
I was standing there when the lightning struck"
Indeed ;)
It's a slick, big budget, high concept video for a cool song reminiscenting the 70's.
AI de-aging, etc.
Directed by Francois Rousselet, who directed also the most recent clip of RS, Angry from Hackney Diamonds in 2023, as well as Ride 'Em on Down from Blue and Lonesome (2016).
my buddy Ticke aka Attila Brushvox wrote about it here !
The Revenge of Alice Cooper, the new album by Alice Cooper featuring his original group after more than 50 years off (Muscle of Love in 1973), will be out on July 25th 2025 !!! The 1st single was Black Mamba (out on youtube in April), fearturing Robby Krieger (The Doors).
Inspired by the iconic 1953 film The Wild One starring Marlon Brando, the track captures the same defiant spirit that once shocked middle America and defined a generation.
Reuniting five decades after their rise to fame, the band channels the chaos, danger, and cool of their early days, a time when rock was feared, eyeliner was scandalous, and every show felt like a revolution.
"Wild Ones" is the sound of the Alice Cooper Group with their engines roaring, still loud, still dangerous, and still not asking for permission.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wild Ones
We are the wild ones crashin' through the night
Livin' in the shadows, hidden from the light
Revving up our engines, sharpening our claws
Cause baby when you're hungry, the jungle is the law
Oh, runnin' with the wild ones
Yeah, baby we're the wild ones
Yeah, we're the wild ones, we live in every town
We own the city streets, we rule the underground,
There is no cagin' us, you'll suffer if you try
We got the rage in us, cause it makes us feel alive
Oh, runnin' with the wild ones
Yeah, baby we're the wild ones
Wild ones, wild ones, wild ones
Can you feel it, rolling thunder,
Lose your mind and drag you under
Can you see it, getting' higher
Cause it's burning, burning like a fire
We are the damned ones, this is the life we choose
There's no redemption and nothin' left to lose.
If you see us coming, you won't have time to pray
When you hear the motors gunning, just get out of our way
Yeah, runnin with the wild ones
Yeah, baby we're the wild ones
Wild ones, wild ones, wild ones
Can you feel it, rolling thunder,
Lose your mind and drag you under
Can you see it, getting' higher
Cause it's burning, like a fire
Again gone one of the great ones...Mr. Kris K. is one of my personal favourite heroes, just for his look, I fell in love at first sight. He didn't have to be tough, he was in his own right, One of the Only Ones !!!
I think the first film I saw with him was The Sailor who Fell in Grace with the Sea (1976), or maybe it was Convoy (1978) ?
in the early Nineties they brought a film in the cinemas called Flashpoint (1984), a curio that I dug. Tangerine Dream scored it too. Also that dud, Millennium (1989-oi), and Welcome Home (1989), the last film from Franklin J. Schaffner. Triple Kris bill :)
His 1st film was Dennis Hopper's aptly titled ;) The Last Movie (1971). But even if there is Pat Garret & Billy the Kid (1973- forSerban Celea :(, the best is for me is now & for a long time that infamous and immortal Heaven's Gate .
Trivia: Kristofferson turned down Sorcerer, him and Steve Mc Queen, all respect for Roy Scheider, I would've seen both Steve and Kris in it...God of Movies said no :(
Yep, he was in Blade and Blade two. And Blade: Trinity, resurrected ;) And what about that Albert Pyun's Knights (1993)? With Mister Lance...
I got one record on vinyl like over 30 years ago -I guess it was Repossessed from 1986- and was kinda disappointed cos it wasn't rock enough for me then ;) Too young & dumb & ...
...now Kris is on the TRAIN, on the way to Heaven's Gate, to meet his old buddies, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Sam the Man (Peckinpah), James Coburn, Michael Cimino too...Willie Nelson still Standing !!!
Kristofferson said that he would like the first three lines of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a Wire" on his tombstone:
Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
Lucero is Ben Nichols' band and the song is from 2005's Nobody's Darlings album. Based on photojournalist's Danny Lyon book The Bikeriders (1968). See the photos in the video below.
Kathy met a girlfriend at a place around Grant,
Swore if she got out alive she'd not go back again, Fellas didn't know her and they scared her half to death, Hand prints on her jeans, she would have just got up and left, That's when she saw Benny standing over by the bar, Sat back down, and waited 'til he came over to talk, Later on that night as she was walking out the door, Benny started up his bike, and the boys came out for more
Ooooh...
They picked her up and put her on the back of Benny's bike, Now Kathy's been with Benny Bauer ever since that night, She's tried to leave him many times, can't quite get away, Seen more jails and courts and laywers than she'd like to say, Benny's always been a fighter, that'll never change, Kathy takes him home and heals him up, it's all the same He made it from the club room all the way out to the street, They beat him with the barstools but he made it on his feet
Ooooh...
Kathy's runnin' to her boy, picks him up and takes him home, And Benny's crying "Kathy please, I'm sorry don't you know?" I'm sorry don't you know, I'm sorry don't you know? At a bar they call Stop Light the fellas drink their beer, Women with their hair done up, they make it very clear, Which one of the fellas is all theirs and can't be touched, They're tellin' me that motorcycle rider just give up, They're talkin' to the pretty ladies, everyone they can, I never seen the trouble caused all by just one dance, If Benny don't get himself shot tonight I wish he did, When he gets home
Ooooh...
Now Kathy's datin' Benny and he keeps her by his side, Kathy's still the cutest girl these boys will ever find, Riders line up BSA's out on the scrambler's tracks, Levis jeans and a leather jacket numbers on their backs, Benny's bike is too big to race up 250 class, They make him start way up the hill, up by the railroad tracks, Tomorrow they'll all ride across the Illinois state line, Motorcycle Blessing at the St. Christopher Shrine
Ooooh...
Kathy's walking out the door leavin' Benny all alone, And Benny's crying "Kathy please, baby don't you go" Baby don't you go, baby don't you go Kathy you mean it this time, just leave in the middle of the night, His wallet's on your table, boots on your floor, The car is parked right outside your back door, So leave him asleep in your bed and, You're halfway to Chicago before good-bye is said
and an explanation with Billy J. on Howard Stern's show here. He brings up Edith Piaf's "Je ne regrette Rien", well...i agrre with Howard on this...
Lyrics:
Please open the door Nothing is different, we've been here before Pacing these halls Trying to talk over the silence And pride sticks out its tongue Laughs at the portrait that we've become Stuck in a frame, unable to change I was wrong
I'm late, but I'm here right now Though I used to be romantic I forgot somehow Time can make you blind But I see you now As we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on?
Here, stuck on a hill Outsiders inside the home that we built The cold settles in It's been a long winter of indifference And maybe you love me, maybe you don't Maybe you'll learn to, and maybe you won't You've had enough, but I won't give up On you
I'm late, but I'm here right now And I'm tryin' to find the magic That we lost somehow Maybe I was blind But I see you now As we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on?
I'm late, but I'm here right now Is there still time for forgiveness? Won't you tell me how? I can't read your mind But I see you now As we're layin' in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on?
I'm here right now Yes, I'm here right now Looking for forgiveness I can see as we're laying in the darkness Yeah, as we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on?
Herbert Grönemeyer 's Alkohol is a song from 1984, from his album 4360 Bochum. I heard it in the 80's then, with Falco and Trio, they sound alike. Great B & W video. But yesterday I heard again this song after 30 odd years in a very cool scene from the new Calin Peter Netzer film, Familiar (that came out yesterday in Romanian cinemas).
Grönemeyer was/is a West Germany superstar, known also as an actor (he was in Wolfgang Pedersen's megahit Das Boot-1981) and I saw it in Romanian cinemas as Robert Schumann in Spring Symphony (1983), next to Nastassja Kinski as Clara Wiek and Rolf Hoppe. Saw that with my mom as she was the biggest fan of classical and Opera music. But his name came back again as the composer of the Anton Corbjin's films The American (my review here) and A Most Wanted Man, very good imersive scores He's still a superstar in Deutschland. Weirdly, my friends at the film premiere didn't know about him. So, I had to write a few lines about Herr Herbert G.
Great song tho. Was and is. And cool lyrics ;)
Alkohol ist das Dressing für deinen Kopfsalat
Alkohol ist dein Sanitäter in der Not
Alkohol ist dein Fallschirm und dein Rettungsboot
Alkohol ist das Drahtseil auf dem du stehst
Alkohol ist das Schiff mit dem du untergehst
”How
can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly
toy?”
Sting
-Russians (1985)
Din aceste
versuri a auzit englezul Christopher Nolan la 15 ani despre un anume
Oppenheimer și jucăria lui mortală. Piesa de pe albumul de debut
al lui Sting, cu acorduri din Stravinski. Ceea ce ne leagă cumva
pentru că și eu am auzit tot de acolo de el și la vremea lui mi-a
plăcut imens piesa. Era în plin război rece iar noi eram după
Cortina cea mai de fier.
Azi Chris
Nolan este unul din cei mai titrați regizori din lume, cu succese în
filme și genuri diferite, cu teme însă extrem de similare- memoria
falsă-Memento, reinventarea unui mit din romanele grafice cult:
trilogia Batman, teleportare -The Prestige, realitatea
visului-Inception, paradoxul temporal-Interstellar, război pe trei
planuri paralele-Dunkirk, inversie temporală-Tenet) și acum a
devenit autorul unui biopic mult aștepata despre fizicianul american
J. Robert Oppenheimer, creatorul bombei atomice. Oppenheimer este de
departe cel mai ambițios film al anului. Și de aproape poate cel
mai important film al lui Nolan. Și e un film foarte necesar pentru
ziua de azi. Cillian Murphy în rolul titular, rolul vieții.
Distribuție de ansamblu de vis. Durată epică, 3 ore pe ceas.
Succes financiar și de critică-uriaș. Zvon de Oscar, sunt sigur că
va fi considerat ”cel mai bun film” la Oscar anul viitor. Plus
multe alte acolade.
*
Sper ca Greta
Gerwig, prima femeie care a regizat un film care a depăsit plafonul
de 100 de miliarde de $ încasări mondiale -anume Barbie) să nu îl
prade însă pe Nolan de Oscar. În orice caz istoriei nu îi va
păsa.
După
cum a spus-o Paul Schrader, unul din marii scenariști și regizori
din Noul Cinema American (de la Taxi Driver la Master Gardner),
”Oppenheimer este cel mai bun și mai important film al acestui
secol”. De ce a considerat Scharder asta? Are legatură cu bomba
atomică și cu proiectul Manhattan, sau doar pentru faptul că un
asemenea ”film biografic” despre un subiect greu-fizicieni
atomici, McCharthysm, moralitate, resposabilitate și povara
istoriei, nu a mai fost făcut și pare ireal că e produs azi de un
mare studio american. Oppenheimer face rapel în temă și subiect la
un mare film clasic, Amadeus (1984, Milos Forman), referitor la
relația fizicianului cu politicanul
Lewis Strauss (un Robert Downey Jr. și el
în rolul vieții), gîlceava
între geniu și mediocritate. O poveste tristă care pare
incredibilă, și ea este baza structurii filmului lui Nolan, văzut
dintr-un unghi subiectiv de către personajul central și în lungi
secvențe alb-negru de către nemesisul său. Poate și de aici acest
uriaș interes mondial față de film, subiect și universul
prezentat.
Re: sunet și
imagine-vă sfătuiesc să mergeți la IMAX la București dacă
sunteți prin zonă, a fost filmat cu camere IMAX 70 mm. Iar
referitor la muzică și sunet, la plîngerea multora că sunt prea
bombastice, aceasta a fost și intenția.
Sunt
uimit de câtă lume l-a văzut, dar sunt și mai uimit de cîtă
lume nu l-a văzut încă. Mai veți timp în cinema. Mai rulează, datorită succesului de public uluitor (în România l-au văzut peste 470 de mii de oameni). O
lună jumătate și 865 de
milioane de dolari mai târziu
(filmul a costat 100 de milioane de dolari
plus tot pe atâta investiție în marketing și distribuție), bomba
cinematografică, estetică (și filosofică) a lui Nolan continuă
să explodeze peste tot în lume.
In
1965, twenty years after the dropping of the bombs, Oppenehimer did
an interview for The Decision to Drop the Bomb.
Speaking with NBC News, he delivered his famous lines: We
knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed. A few
people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the
Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is
trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty, and, to
impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am
become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.” I supposed we all thought
that, one way or another.
Just one week ago this new Alice Cooper song was released, "Rock & Roll" , from the upcoming album Detroit Stories, out on February 26th 2021. For week i'm struggling to post this but finally...
---The song sounded familliar , sure, why ? Its a cover of the Velvet Underground song "Rock & Roll" , composed by Lou Reed in 1969 and out in 1970 in the album Loaded and a part of his later repertoire. So, investigating further, co s Alice changes New York station with Detroit station, surely, where Rock n roll was heard by Jenny, when she was 5 years old :) . There was a cover by Mitch Ryder with his band Detroit in 1972, with Detroit instead of NYC on the lyrics. So Alice's cover is more this one than Lou. For completists, there's also a Runaways (The) cover of this song, with LA station instead of the mentioned above. Can't wait for more of Alice's Detroit Rock n roll stories...
Jenny said when she was just five years old There was nothin' happ'nin' at all Every time she puts on the radio There was nothin' goin' down at all, not at all Then one fine morning, she puts on a New York station You know, she don't believe what she heard at all She started shaking to that fine, fine music You know, her life was saved by rock and roll.
News on April 24th, Friday after Easters-after Bob Dylans Murder Most Foul, another rock legend(s) and Trexs, the -Old gods, almost dead-their Satanic Majesties ....The Rolling Stones release Living in a Ghost Town . their first new song since 2012 ! Cisstomised for the CH19 sitauation the video presents an empty London. The șlyrics go like this:
“Life was so beautiful / Then we all got locked down … Please let this be over / Stuck in a world without end.”
Elsewhere, Jagger sings of chaos (“Glasses were all smashing / Trumpets were all screaming”) and societal collapse:
Preachers were all preaching
Charities beseeching
Politicians dealing
Thieves were happy stealing
Widows were all weeping
There’s no beds left for us to sleep in
Always had the feeling
It would all come tumbling down.
Living in a Ghost Town was apparently the product of recent recording sessions. By Jagger’s account, the lyrics were already eerily prescient – “about being in a place which was full of life, and then now bereft of life ... full of plague terms” – but were reworked to suit the current moment. They are certainly a far better attempt at coming up with something contemporary and newsy than A Bigger Bang’s clumsy Sweet Neo-Con or indeedJagger’s Skepta-assisted solo single England Lost.
...what better time than now (that is y-day, Saturday 28.03.2020), an overlong dark and bleak song about apparently JFKs death, and more so about pop culture, name dropping galore, and finally about the CH 19 pandemic...
-Bare with patience and listen to the lyrics, they're on the screen,
It's Dylan-s longest song 2 date (17 mins) and his 1st original material since 2012s Tempest.
Of course, like all things Dylan, “Murder Most Foul” isn’t for everyone. It’s length alone will be off-putting to all but the most diehard Dylanologist. (NBC News, comparing it with The Irishman of songs ;)
Jan. 10th, David Bowie and Rod Stewart's Birthdays. Ozzy, the young yoda prince of darkness makes a gift to all around, a great song in the vein of Beatles, classic storytelling, balladesque ORDINARY MAN, from his upcoming new album (out on Feb. 21)

ORDINARY MAN LYRICS:
was unprepared for fame
Then everybody knew my name
No more lonely nights it’s all for you
I have traveled many miles
I’ve seen tears and I’ve seen smiles
Just remember that it’s all for you
Don’t forget me as the colors fade
When the lights go down it’s just an empty stage
Ok
Yes I’ve been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
I made momma cry
Don’t know why I’m still alive
Yes the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
Many times I lost control
They tried to kill my rock n roll
Just remember I’m still here for you
I don’t wanna say goodbye
When I do you’ll be alright
After all I did it all for you
Don’t forget me as the colors fade
When the lights go down it’s just an empty stage
Ok
Yes I’ve been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
I made momma cry
Don’t know why I’m still alive
Yes the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
Yes I’ve been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky
And the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
I made momma cry
Don’t know why I’m still alive
Yes the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man
Steal away, to the dark end of the street, mmm mmm
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street, mmm mmm
Songwriters: Chips Moman / Dan Penn

I would rather to be buried In some cypress grove I would rather to be buried In some cypress grove Than to have a contrary woman Lord, I never can control
And when yo' knee bones Go to achin' An your body gettin' cold When yo' knee bones Go to achin' And yo' body gettin' cold You know, you jes' gettin' ready Honey, for some cypress grove

Yes, I'm goin' away Honey, don't you want to go? Yes, I'm goin' away Honey, don't you wants to go? I'm scared to go back down south Them people goin' kill me, sho'
I had no clue til a few days ago that my friends (in the Danger Zone), Chickenfoot had a new song this year. It came on their album, Live + Best in March, the only new song !
Yeah I know, it's December, but what a great song. And meaningful. so here it is. Take it away, Sammy & co ! Classic Rock. Might be my best song all year. Anyway, Song of the day (SOTD).
I'm laying here dreaming 'Bout how it used to be Between you and me Staring out spacing out Thinking about amnesty I'm gonna set you free, yeah
Some car don't play But your tongue don't say We gonna weigh it all Weigh it all cause When our beds are burning And the sheets on fire This house of love is burning to the ground
Ohh yeah Ohh ohh You've just see weigh it all
Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die We gonna work it out Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die We gonna work it out
Emotionally saying Love turn it maybe Digging in the dirt Divine termination Seems the only explanation Digging in the dirt Tryna find the hurt, yeah
I wanna set you free Ohh yeah Set you free Ohh yeah
Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die We gonna work it out Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die
Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die We gonna work it out Long before I die I'm gonna find a way Long before I die We gonna work it out
"Desperados Under the Eaves" is a song written and performed by Warren Zevon from the 1976 album Warren Zevon. The song describes the narrator's growing alcoholism ("all the salty margaritas in Los Angeles; I'm going to drink them up") and laments that no matter what occurs, he will wind up paying the bill for his low rent digs at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel. It ends with him listening to the sound of the air conditioner humming and converting the hum to the repeated chorus "look away down Gower Avenue," which is sung with greater hope than the somewhat morose tone of the rest of the song. This song features background vocals from Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. When conducting the string section for this song, Zevon kept the veteran players "on his side" with pre-written humor. Zevon has said in interviews that this is one of his most personal songs.
Written By Warren Zevon published by Warner-Tamerlane/Darkroom Music BMI, 1976
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel I was staring in my empty coffee cup I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin' All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles I'm gonna drink 'em up
And if California slides into the ocean Like the mystics and statistics say it will I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Don't the sun look angry through the trees Don't the trees look like crucified thieves Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves Heaven help the one who leaves
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me But except in dreams you're never really free Don't the sun look angry at me
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel I was listening to the air conditioner hum It went mmmmmm.. ........................... Look away.......................................... (Look away down Gower Avenue, Look away....)
-great version of the song on Letterman by the DAWES
and a beautiful cover of DUTE by his friend Jackson Browne here linked with Desperados Waiting For a Train ! and that one, with Eagles' Desperado ! so on and so forth, the air conditioner hums.....
"I'd play the Red River ValleyAnd he'd sit out in the kitchen and cryAnd run his fingers through seventy years of livin'And wonder, "Lord, has ever' well I've drilled run dry?"We were friends, me and this old manLike desperados waitin' for a trainLike desperados waitin' for a trainHe's a drifter and a driller of oil wellsAnd an old school man of the worldHe let me drive his carWhen he's too drunk toAnd he'd wink and give me money for the girlsAnd our lives were like some old western movieLike desperados waitin' for a trainLike desperados waitin' for a trainFrom the time that I could walk he'd take me with himTo a bar called the Green Frog CafeThere were old men with beer guts and dominosLying 'bout their lives while they'd playedAnd I was just a kidThey all called his "Sidekick"Like desperados waitin' for a trainLike desperados waitin' for a trainOne day I looked up and he's pushin' eightyAnd there's brown tobacco stains all down his chinTo me he's one of the heroes of this countrySo why's he all dressed up like them old menDrinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-twoLike desperados waitin' for a trainLike desperados waitin' for a trainA day before he died, I went to see himI was grown and he was almost goneSo we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchenAnd sang another verse to that old song"Come on, Jack, that son of a guns are comin' "Like desperados waitin' for a train (x4)."
This song is by Guy Clark who died last year. It appears on the album "Old Number One" (1975) He plays it live wonderfully here Played here live by country music's legendary first "supergroup,",THE HIGHWAYMEN, featuring Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Their cover of Guy Clark's "Desperados Waiting for a Train" appeared on their 1st album , Highwaymen (1985) and reached the Top 20. (Clark is frequently referred to as "The Fifth Highwayman".) "I was just a kid, they called me Sidekick..."

"He helped us a lot. He was unafraid. And he was a character. And he was himself … He did his own thing to the last breath. No matter who you are, how could you not be inspired by that?"
If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord
There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame
They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want… Leonard COHEN 1934-2016 obituary in Rolling Stone here
