Listener comments!
9:06am : I am fully in favor of starting with Juana Molina again. Morning, Bob9:10am : Year of Sundowners?9:12am : Morning Mike.
Giglio:
Sundowners - Decca 45 '689:14am : Groovy air9:19am : Good morning Bob and all. Nice Savoy Brown right there9:21am : Mornin' bb & all! Yes, Savoy Brown!9:33am : I wanna get the Miles mono box too but I'll go broke...hehe9:41am : I own Drive on bluray, but I think I left it in storage...now I kinda want to watch it.9:42am : ??? Drive?9:45am : lost the thread here9:46am : Yeah, "Drive" - the Nicolas Winding Refn movie that uses "Oh My Love" - I can't help but associate that two. That film is very visceral and the music choices are perfect. (imo)9:46am : Hey, guys, I don't know if you're interested, but I have updated the blog with the Brazilian song translations. Now I'm focusing on the 1968 Tropicália album, so maybe you'll want to see it. Here is the link: brazil70translationproject.wordpress.com9:49am : @doca - many years ago, I worked out a rough translation of a minha menina so I could perform it in English9:49am : oh didn't know that song was used in Drive, ok. Gotcha. I really should pick up the blu ray of Drive soon. But already watched it like 2x the past year or more but on regular DVD from library here. But worth owning.9:50am : Hahahah! "Poor girl, she doesn't have anybody"? My translations are always rough translations, but I like writing the comments after.9:51am : Oh sorry, I mixed it up with another song! Now I'm ashamed of myself. I thought it was this one: www.youtube.com...9:52am : As I've said, Mutantes is not really my thing...9:53am : @LCD - its literally the only bluray I've ever bought. saw it in the theater and eagerly awaited its release.
@doca - I went through a period of having them blow my mind.9:55am : a minha menina is probably their most recognizable song...I think I heard it used in a McDonald's commercial or something.9:55am : Mike, ha...I just got a blu ray player recently, mainly been borrowing some from the lib. here. Idon't buy many movies these days anyway. But I might buy that one it's cheap enough on Amazon.9:55am : @Mike: I had that period too, it's amazing how much creativity can be channeled into a band.9:57am : even watched Paths of Glory on blu ray that was great9:59am : B23 here! G'morning Bob and friends.🥁 10:00am : Good snowy morning everyone10:06am : @Mike: I've did a rough translation of Minha Menina on spot, probably is like yours. Tomorrow I'll post it on the blog.
She's my girl
I'm her boy
She's my love
I'm her little cutie love
The silvery moon hided away
Now the sun is shining bright
It's such a beautiful morning
It smells like joyfulness
Because I have dreamed
And I woke thinking of her
That she's my girl
I'm her boy
She's my love
I'm her little cutie love
The roses are now blooming
And she's the rose I got
For her I put reason
Second to my heart
And I'll tell everybody
How much I like her
Because she's my girl
I'm her boy
She's my love
I'm her little cutie love
The silvery moon hided away
Now the sun is shining bright
It's such a beautiful morning
It smells like joyfulness10:08am : @doca - I see them much like I see Bob Marley, who is a good gateway into reggae music and Jamaican culture, but once you go deeper, you realize there are many other artists who are just as good, if not better. That can make some resent him, but I think its important for people to broaden their horizons to further cultural understanding in whatever way they can.10:10am : Whoa! This song is an instant hangover cure...10:10am : Yes, I see that Mutantes and Tropicália became much of the end point in people's tastes, and now the way into a new world.10:11am : awesome, doca! mine was similar...had to stretch some things out to make them fit the syllables.10:13am : Chirpy Cheep, thanks Bob, this song will be stuck in my head all day. Haven't heard it on the radio since the early 70s.10:13am : wow i saw Katie Kissoon live with Rog. Waters in 1984 far out.10:24am : @Mike: I never try to fit the lyrics into the rhymes 'cause I don't have talent for it. If you still have your translation, I would like to see it10:25am : gotta be in a notebook somewhere. I'll keep an eye out for it10:35am : that main riff from Nocturnal is still echoing in my head10:38am : @Mike You made me realize it is resonating in my head as well which brought an epiphany that I like that sound a lot but thought I didn't care for it much. Thanks.10:40am : nice!10:48am : Rowed a scull from the MIT boathouse. 'Boat on the Charles' and 'Dirty Water' were the hummed songs. Thank you!11:01am : Thanks for the Todd. Is that the Edsel 2-fee? Just got that a few days ago but haven't listened to Ballad yet. The alternate Runt was pretty cool11:01am : *2-fer*9:00pm : I've always loved 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Sound is awfully good for an old 45. Thorinsfield is great (checked amazon.com, it's available as a mp3 download). The new Hushdrops track is a killer.9:46pm : I listened to "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep," then listened to "Cum On Feel the Noize." Some melodic and harmonic shared material there. Chirpy came out 2 years before Slade's Noize. The drum intro on Quiet Riot's version of Noize is similar to the drum intro on Chirpy.
