I'm Waiting for the Man  is  Velvet Underground song recorded for their debut album in 1967.

“To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog.” - Keith Richards

Communique:

The digital single & music video are out now and featured on the upcoming album The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed, which includes newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, and Rosanne Cash. This special collection will be released by Light in the Attic Records and available on Vinyl & CD at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (April 20th).

It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit—and then some. The Power of the Heart is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with covers spanning his groundbreaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock ’n’ Roll Animal’s soul, ever adventurous and avant-garde.

Am pus aici un articol depre Ginger Baker scris la moartea sa in octombrie 2019 si ramas nepublicat pina acum.

*****

Cream a fost primul super-grup din istoria rockului, în componența de trio: Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, și a activat doar 3 ani (1966-1968). Astăzi este considerată deopotrivă de critici și de fani “cea mai bună trupă din lume”.

Kofi Baker este fiul lui Ginger Baker, toboșar virtuoz, la fel ca tatăl său. Kofi Baker's Cream Faith îi include pe Malcolm Bruce, fiul lui Jack Bruce, basistul grupului Cream și BBM, iar chitarist este Rob Johnson, al cărui unchi a fost tot Ginger Baker. Trupa cântă muzica legendarelor Cream și Blind Faith, și e un soi de “afacere de familie”, o moștenire Live, nu numai pentru nostalgici, ci și pentru viitorii fani, o muzică nemuritoare, „The Sunshine of Our Love”.

The Zone of Interest (2023)

I was expecting Jonathan Glazer's fourth feature with much anticipation. He doesn't make a a lot of films, four in over 20 years...the 1st one, Sexy Beast (2000) stuck with me from the first frame, Birth (2004) so and so and last one ten years ago , Under the Skin (2013) was an UFO of the foremost cinematic kind (in my Top of 2014 films and soundtracks). So, when I first about the plot of his new film that took ten years to make, The Zone of Interest, the fact that is shot in German and on location in Poland's Auschwitz-Birkenau made me want to see it more than any film in last year's Festival de Cannes. I am now totally convinced it should've won Palme d'Or more and much more than Anatomy of a Fall, which is for me one of the most overrated films of 2023. Zone won Cannes' Prix du Jury in 2023, the FIPRESCI prize and two tech awards, Johnnie Burn for the sound and Mica Levi for the music (the Cannes soundtrack award). 

The Zone of Interest is loosely based by the Martin Amis book, but it takes just the plot idea from there. Beyond that it went into a deconstruction of the Evil as banality, and offers a very different view of the Holocaust from the Inside Out.

One of last year's best and most powerful films (also in cinematic language) , where what you hear is more important than what you see-and go and see it in a cinema, it plays now near you.

Will definetly win the Oscar for the best foreign film and sound, it's nominated for 5 categories including best film and best direction. More than Nolan and Scorsese Glazer's direction is topnotch, original, artful, an observational film, experimental, in many ways avant-garde.
