Savages : Silence Yourself 2013

Savages are a rock band from London and lead singer and lyricist Jehnny Beth (real name: Camille Berthomier) is from France. The band's guitarist Gemma Thompson had come up with the name for the band and had been discussing the idea with singer Jehnny Beth for almost a year.

Thompson says the band's name was derived from books, such as Lord of the Flies, that she read when she was younger. The band was eventually formed in October 2011 and they had their first gig in January 2012 supporting rock band British Sea Power.

Their manager John Best also manages Sigur Ros. The Observer has said of Savages: "it's not exactly sexy, it's not funny and they're not going to be rolling around in mud like the Slits. But it's the closest thing to art that "post-punk"... has offered in a while". The New Musical Express described their performances as "frottage-inducingly intense affairs".

The group's first released tracks, a double A-side in June 2012, were "Flying to Berlin" and "Husbands" on the Pop Noire label.

The Guardian wrote: "Husbands makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality."

In October, their concert at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York received good reviews. The Chicago Reader noted that their set was "influenced by Siouxsie & the Banshees, but with an anthemic quality that makes me think of PJ Harvey and heavy doses of the rhythmic jaggedness and angularity of British postpunk."

The group expressed their liking for these bands, and added : "We listened to a lot of different music [...] Our influences are male and female in equal measure."

The band's first album, Silence Yourself, was released on 6 May 2013 via Beth's own label Pop Noire and Matador Records.
The band's second album Adore Life, was released on 22 January 2016 via Matador Records.

John Mayall : Blues From Lauree Canyon 1968

Blues from Laurel Canyon is a 1968 album by John Mayall, featuring British blues music. It was his first album after the breakup of his band the Bluesbreakers in May 1968 , though others claim it was on 14 July 1968. It was also his last album with Decca before moving to Polydor.

John Mayall sings and plays harmonica, organ and guitar on the album. Other musicians include a young Mick Taylor (guitar), Colin Allen (drums) and Stephen Thompson (bass). The guitarist Peter Green is featured on the track First Time Alone. The engineer was Derek Varnals. All the songs on the album were written by Mayall.

The title of the album derives from Laurel Canyon, California, United States (in the Los Angeles area) where John Mayall subsequently lived from 1969 to 1979. It forms a record of his visit there before moving to the US on a more permanent basis. The area was favoured by many musicians at the time. It was recorded at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London, England between 26 and 28 August 1968, and was released on the Decca label.

The album was innovative for its time, especially by the standards of blues recordings. The first track opens with a recording of a jet airliner landing, dissolving into the driving rhythm of the song. There were no visible track divisions on the vinyl album.

Some songs fade or segue into the next track, others stop on a chord which is immediately followed by the introduction of the next track. Tabla drums are used, as is the technique of hitting guitar strings with a drumstick. The final track is a long song which moves into an extended lead guitar solo underscored by Mayall's Hammond organ, fading into a simple unaccompanied guitar figure which repeats until it too fades.

It is apparent that John Mayall hasn't lost his touch with the blues. "Vacation," the album's opener, reminds one exactly why this artist is so celebrated for his songwriting ability.

The staggering Mick Taylor (here still in his teens) truly proves his worth as a blues guitarist, while Steve Thompson (also in his late teens) works superbly with one of the genre's most interesting drummers, Colin Allen. Blues from Laurel Canyon is as unerring as Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, and equally as musically interesting. Not only is this one of the finest John Mayall albums, it is also a highlight in the blues genus.

A remastered and expanded version of this LP album was released in the UK in August 2007.

Γιά τον Φίλο μου

Για τον φίλο μου , τον άνθρωπό μου , τον αδελφό μου ΛΕΥΤΕΡΗ ΦΩΚΑ

Έφυγες . Χάθηκες στο σκοτεινό μυλολίθαρο του χρόνου .
Άφαντος αποσύρθηκες σε μια φτερουγισμένη στιγμή από τη ζωή μου , αλλά όχι από τη ψυχή μου .
Εφυγες . Από τον πολύβοο κόσμο και Θεοτική γνώμη είναι ο θάνατός σου . Ας είναι δαφνοσκέπαστος ο δρόμος σου , δίχως ολόπυκνα σύννεφα να τον σκεπάζουν , κι άς είναι πλέον άσωτος και λυτρωτικός ο χρόνος που θα μας ενώσει ξανά .
Αντισυμβατικός στη ζωή σου έστησες μια πρωτοπορία από μαγαζιά , ακολουθώντας τα θαλασσολούλουδα του Καββαδία και των αντρειωμένων τα τραγούδια .
Η ψυχή σου είχε μια αστραψιά που μονάχα ένα ακονισμένο μυαλό μπορούσε να φτεροπαλέψει .
Μου λείπεις .
Ο άθελος , ολόθερμος λυγμός μου θα σε συνοδέψει στου τάφου σου τις πύλες . Η ψυχή μου φαντάζει πλέον λιγοθυμισμέμη δίχως εσένα και ραψωδός θα γίνω στο ύστατο ταξίδι σου .
Με το "PUB OLD HOUSE" που έστησες , γαλούχισες τόσες γενεές , άνοιξες ένα διάφωτο τρόπο διασκέδασης και τόλμησες να πας αντίθετα στα πολύηχα λόγια των επικριτών σου .
Θαλασσοπλάνητος , δε φοβήθηκες ποτέ τη φαρμακοκόφτρα γνώμη των ανίδεων . Στάθηκες ψηλοθόρητος στις ιδέες και στα ιδανικά σου , προσφέροντας ξαστερόηχες μουσικές με την αστείρευτη σκέψη σου .
Τώρα έφυγες . Έκανες το ύστατο ταξίδι δίχως εμένα ακολουθώντας τα αχνόφωτα μονοπάτια  ψυχής σου .
Τελευταία φορά που αντίκρυσα το πρόσωπό σου μέσα στο φέρετρο , σε είδα γαληνομέτωπο , ήρεμο , σχεδόν χαμογελούσες , χλευάζοντας όλους και όλα .
Χρυσοκέντητος και πολύαστρος ας είναι ο δρόμος σου .
Κάποια στιγμή σε κάποιο θαμποχάραμα θα βρεθούμε και πάλι μαζί .

ΑΝΤΙΟ ΦΙΛΑΡΑΚΟ ΜΟΥ !!!
