Marianne Faithfull surgiu como um anjo na Swinging London dos anos 60. Bela e inocente, perdeu-se no labirinto do estrelato e afundou-se num oceano de excessos. O retrato fiel dessa espiral descendente é Broken English, disco feito de música em carne viva e, para muitos, a obra-prima da cantora britânica. Bem-vindos ao fim do encanto.

Bill Frisell's appearance last Saturday with Marianne Faithfull at Paris' New Morning club was another reminder of the jazz guitarist's often underrated affinity for pop and rock music. It goes beyond reinterpretating everyone from John Lennon to Madonna. Frisell sat in, of course, on Faithfull's 1987 album Strange Weather. He's also appeared on albums with Elvis Costello, Living Colour's Vernon [...]
Há quem tenha por gosto desafiar as leis, as conhecidas e as desconhecidas, sobre as quais a realidade se sustenta. Se o fim do mundo bater à porta, lembrem-se que o produtor Hal Willner, o ator-músico Johnny Depp e o realizador Gore Verbinski estão entre os mais prováveis dos responsáveis. Há seis anos, na rodagem do segundo "Pirata das Caraíbas", lembraram-se de juntar num único disco (ou dois,
We're delighted to see that Marianne Faithfull's Broken English is getting the deluxe reissue treatment this week — it's one of the great comeback records of all time, and also one that's been somewhat overshadowed over the years by its creator's oft-discussed personal life. We don't have a great deal of use for rock 'n' roll mythology here at Flavorpill; it's not that we're anti-drug, but we've seen too many great musicians and artists killed by embracing the sex/drugs/rock 'n' roll cliché as if it were a prerequisite for credibility and/or creative fulfillment. It's also frustrating when we [...]

Marianne Faithfull ’s definitive album ‘Broken English’ is reissued in this luxury package which includes the album version released in 1979, the original ‘lost’ band sessions recording, a mouth-watering selection of bonus tracks and the Derek Jarman directed short film of ‘Witches Song’, ‘The Ballad of Lucy Jordan’ and ‘Broken English’.

Cue the inevitable deluge of Joanna Newsom comparison, for we've our very own off-kilt songstress armed with a harp and caught betwixt the contemporary and the baroque. Or rather we've now had for quite some time, for The Moths Are Real is the third studio full-length from introspective Londoner Serafina Steer who, quite coincidentally, just so happened to release her début, Cheap Demo Bad Science , but a matter of months after Newsom had herself outed her medievally ornamented magnum opus, Ys . Thus already Joanna-paralleled – and moreover Jarvis-produced [...]
In honor of John Lennon , who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week. Here’s the fourth of five articles focused on his five best songs. "Mind Games" "Mind Games" was originally part of The Beatles milieu. It was written in 1969 and was given the once-over during the Let It Be sessions under the working title of "Make Love, Not War." Four years later, "Make Love, Not War" evolved into "Mind Games," the new [...]
In honor of John Lennon, who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week . Here's the third of five articles focused on his five best songs . "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" As individuals, The Beatles have carried with them general characterizations about their songwriting styles. Paul is still the maker of ditties, Ringo is the "lets-have-a-party-and-make-a- record" guy. George was the spiritual seeker and John was the snarly boy with the rough edge. Though the latter was somewhat true, time and again Lennon [...]
Spike Priggen (AKA "Cookie" of Bedazzled.tv and Scopitones.com ) will be DeeJaying at Sidecar on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn every other Thursday starting January 10th.

In honor of John Lennon, who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week . Here's the second of five articles focused on his five best songs . "Imagine" As is true with the song's B-side, "Working Class Hero" (John Lennon Week, Post #1 ), the beauty of "Imagine" is in its simplicity. Musically, the song is simple enough to be played by someone with rudimentary skills. It's an uncomplicated ballad written in C-Major, modulating to F-Major at [...]
In honor of John Lennon, who was killed 32 years ago this Tuesday, Fusion 45 celebrates John Lennon Week . Here's the first of five articles focused on his five best songs . "Working Class Hero" Like Bob Dylan's "Masters of War," Lennon's "Working Class Hero" is loosely based on an Old English Folk Song, "Nottamun Town." As Lennon told Jan Wenner in a December 1970 Rolling Stone interview, the song is about the working class being integrated into the middle class [...]
La francesa Melody Prochet fue el acto abridor durante la gira europea de Tame Impala de este año, bajo el nombre de My Bee's Garden . Este impresionante debut nos hace imaginar el hilo conductor de su corta carrera musical. La fiel seguidora del pop dulce, compone melodías con efectos basados en el reverb , los delays y el phasing para generar atmósferas pegajosas. Todo esto contrastado con uno de los elementos más influyentes dentro de la música electrónica y el rock psicodélico: las repeticiones hipnóticas. [...]

(((If you don’t like this, you should have your weakly sentimental head split open by an apache-dancing tramp with a pistol.))) “We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.” Marinetti, “The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism” Humanity is mediocre.

You may have read recently that Mitt Romney Paul Ryan is the world's most unlikely Rage Against the Machine fan, and the spectacular WTF-ness of his inexplicable declaration of fondness for left-wing agitrock will endure as one of the stranger moments of the 2012 campaign trail. The whole strange business also got us thinking: well, there are plenty of features around wherein artists have been asked to choose a selection of their favorite albums or songs. Surely there are some wacky choices in there? We got reading, and yep, there are some real winners to be found… so here's [...]
