Kelly Kantanoleon

 

This is a very close friend of mine, her name is Kelly Kntanoleon and she is a painting artist.

Kelly Kantanoleon was born in Athens - Greece, on the 22nd of December 1973. She finished Athens College which is a privet school in Athens, in 1992.

While she was still in high school, her art teacher suggested she should follow the Fine Art studies after she graduates from school, in order to become a painter.

In 1994 Kelly was accepted by Coventry University Of Fine Arts in England ( UK ). She graduates in 1998 from Coventry University, getting the title BA (HONS) FINE ARTS.

She returns to Greece, Athens, the following years (1999/2000) and continues her career as a fine artist ( painter ) up until today.

She participates in several exhibitions both in one woman shows and group exhibitions, in England and in Greece.

She is a member of the Hellenic  Fine Arts Chamber ( Ε.Ε.Τ.Ε.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Sometimes I wish you could hear the whispers of my aching heart and the sounds of my weeping soul. I wish you could hear my silent tears when sorrow takes me inside her. In her glass world ... There you are. Nowhere. I am lost in the deepest doomed forest, starting an endless journey to my future, to my past and back again into this personal labyrinth of mine that breaks me into smaller pieces, as i am trying to find the exodus, but failing all the time, i disappear to nowhere where my steps become heavier and heavier than any marble of all the ancient monuments. All around Earth. All around Heaven. I am only left on the cold floors, there, curved and alone, like the fetus in the wet womb of the mother waiting to be rejected. Once again..Oh Mother Earth !

Here i am losing myself into a piece of blue and orange of the dusking sky that breaks my silence and throws me into the black hole of Hades. All the summer nights have gone now and all the memories are lost, as i went astray once and my dream has turned into a nightmare heading towards an eternity that will follow me like a demon for ever, just like Medea who murdered her children. Tormenting my soul now and watching me shedding tears of regrets. Holding her leather whip. Her weapon...I am nothing, but a feared soul begging for love. For mercy..
You see once i was an angel, but now i am a cold and very dark soul full of sins. I am locked into the dungeon, the full of nails, getting into my skin and i am bleeding on wet floors, kneeling naked. Punished is my soul, and my body, freezing cold and used. Left alone for ever. Chaos, Emptiness.. Nothing...is all i can expect from now on...
"If i ever see the Sun rising again i will stay still and silent. Perhaps He will pity me..If this summer comes i will try and pray harder to save my soul" she whispered and broke into tears...

Various: The Psychedelic Years Revisited 1966 - 1969 (3 CD Box) 1992

The past few years, the sounds of the original psychedelic era of the late sixties have been enjoying an unprecedented revival amongst listeners of all groups.

This collection of fifty tracks, spanning the years 1966 to 1969, embraces psychedelic music of all categories.

THE MISUNDERSTOOD

No collection which covers such wide-ranging and diversified ground can ever hope to be definitive.

The aim of this set, in conjunction with it's earlier companion volume "The Psychedelic Years 1966-1969", is to present a comprehensive overview and put into perspective one of pop music's most fruitful and prolific eras.

The majority of the tracks on the first two discs of this set were originally released as singles.

On disc three the tracks are taken from albums of key artists of the era.

Disc 1: Back in the U.S.A. (75:24)
Disc2: Back in the British Isles (73:19)
Disc 3: Far Out (69:26)

KALEIDOSCOPE

This three-CD U.K. collection is the companion to Psychedelic Years, Vol. 1 (1991); both include 50 seminal platters from either side of the Atlantic.
 

Rather than simply retreading material that is easily obtainable on a plethora of other "oldies" compilations, Psychedelic Years Revisited delves into a secondary layer of harder-to-locate hits and deep-catalog album cuts from a wide spectrum of artists ranging from well-known pop/folk rockers such as the Byrds ("5D [Fifth Dimension]" and "Change Is Now") to the virtually and utterly obscure Freudian Complex ("Lake Baikal").

Disc one includes one and a half dozen cuts that are parenthetically corralled under the moniker "Back in the U.S.A." and run the gamut from early contributions by Captain Beefheart ("Abba Zabba") and criminally unknown Bay Area psych rocker Kak ("Rain") to the trippy side of one-hit wonders such as the Electric Prunes ("Get Me to the World on Time") and the Lemon Pipers ("Through With You").

Disc two crosses the pond with 18 platters from "Back in the British Isles." Once again, more established acts such as Traffic ("Paper Sun") and Cream ("Sweet Wine") are juxtaposed with the comparatively obscure Art ("Supernatural Fairy-Tales") and Heavy Jelly ("I Keep Singing That Same Old Song").

In between are initial works from Electric Light Orchestra predecessors the Move ("I Can Hear the Grass Grow") and Keith Emerson's pre-ELP combo the Nice ("America").

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

Disc three is the proverbial sweet windowpane (or microdot) on the proceedings with an additional 14 "Far Out" numbers. Included here are some of the greatest "lost" classics and somewhat obscured psych from the likes of H.P. Lovecraft ("Electrallentando"), Nico ("Evening of Light"), and Steppenwolf precursors the Sparrow ("Isn't It Strange").

Accompanying the discs is a 24-page liner-notes booklet containing brief annotative paragraphs, photos, and pertinent discographical information. Although a majority of the material on Psychedelic Years Revisited has been issued on artist-related discs as well as other compilations, such as the Nuggets series, there are few as thorough or as consistently entertaining.

Shemekia Copeland: 3 Albums

Charon Shemekia Copeland (born April 10, 1979) is an American electric blues vocalist. To date, she has released ten albums and been presented with seven Blues Music Awards.
                                                  

Copeland was born in Harlem, New York City, United States. She is the daughter of Texas blues

guitarist and singer Johnny Copeland. She began singing at an early age and her first public performance was at the Cotton Club when she was about 10. She began to pursue a singing career in earnest at age 16. When her father's health began to decline, he took Shemekia on tour as his opening act, which helped establish her name on the blues circuit. Copeland graduated in 1997 from Teaneck High School in Teaneck, New Jersey. She landed a recording contract with Alligator Records, which issued her debut album, "Turn the Heat Up!" in 1998, following it up with a tour of the blues festival circuit in America and Europe. Her second album, "Wicked", was released in 2000 and featured a duet with one of her heroes, Ruth Brown. It earned her three Blues Music Awards. "Wicked" earned Copeland a slew of W.C. Handy Blues Award nominations and she walked off with three: Song of the Year, Blues Album of the Year, and Contemporary Female Artist of the Year.
                              

Projecting a maturity beyond her years, blues singer Shemekia Copeland began making a splash in her own right before she was even out of her teens. Copeland fashioned herself as a powerful, soul-inflected shouter in the tradition of Koko Taylor and Etta James, yet also proved capable of a subtler

range of emotions. Her 1998 Alligator debut, "Turn the Heat Up!", featured a career-elevating version of "Ghetto Child," a classic by her father, renowned Texas blues guitarist Johnny Copeland, that has been part of her performance repertoire ever since. She released three more acclaimed rough-and-rowdy recordings that decade before revealing a more nuanced, slow-burning persona on Never Going Back in 2009.
                                  

Over her next two albums, 2012's "33 1/3" and 2015's "Outskirts of Love", she became not only a

formidable singer but an influential stylist. By the time of 2018's "America's Child", she had transformed herself into an artist who could inhabit virtually any genre of music without sacrificing the power and passion that initially established her reputation.
                        

The record, "Talking to Strangers", was produced by Dr. John, and in 2005 she released "The Soul Truth", produced by Steve Cropper. In 2008, Copeland signed with Telarc International, and released her first album, "Never Going Back", with that label in February 2009. She won the "Rising Star -

Blues Artist" in Down Beat magazine's critics poll announced in the December 2009 issue. Copeland participated in the Efes Pilsen Blues Festival in 2009. On June 12, 2011 at the 2011 Chicago Blues Festival, Copeland was presented Koko Taylor's crown, and officially given the honor as the new "Queen of the Blues" by Koko Taylor's daughter, Cookie Taylor.
In 2013, Copeland was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the Contemporary Blues Female Artist' category. She won the title in 2016.
                     

Copeland returned to Alligator for the release of 2015's "Outskirts of Love", which featured guest appearances from Robert Randolph, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. The album was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Blues Album category. In 2017, Copeland gave birth to a son

and, deeply inspired by the experience, she shifted direction. She chose to record in Nashville and enlisted producer/guitarist Will Kimbrough, who in turn enlisted guests who included John Prine, Mary Gauthier, Emmylou Harris, Steve Cropper, and more. With guidance from Kimbrough, Copeland dug deep and completed a resonant program of soul, Americana, blues, and country with 2018's "America's Child".
                               

In 2017 she participated in Mahindra Blues Festival, Mumbai. In August 2018, her next album, America's Child, entered the same listing at number 3. The recording won both the 'Album of the Year' and 'Contemporary Album of the Year' titles at the 40th Blues Music Awards in 2019. Kimbrough

returned as producer for 2020's Grammy-nominated "Uncivil War", 12 songs that mixed political and social commentary with more personal themes; guest artists included Jason Isbell, Steve Cropper, and Duane Eddy. In May 2020, Copeland was presented with another Blues Music Award in the 'Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year' category.
She is a goddess of soul music and the new queen of the blues!!!

MONEY MAKES YOU UGLY  LYRICS

                                   

The ice is meltin' and my lawn's on fire
The world 's got a fever gettin higher and higher
Raping mother nature fracking up the earth
Selling off the land for all that it's worth
Just a little blue rock flying through space
Whoever told you that you own this place

Money makes you ugly
Baby that's the truth
Money makes you ugly
You're the livin' proof
One thing in life I know for sure
Money makes you ugly
That's why I'm glad to be poor

We're drinkin' dirty water while you're sippin' champagne
When do you think you'll start to feel ashamed
Your conscience was laid off with all the people you fired
Took back their benefits before they retired
The lap of luxury it must feel nice
But one day you're gonna have to pay the price

Money makes you ugly
Baby that's the truth
Money makes you ugly
You're the livin' proof
One thing in life I know for sure
Money makes you ugly
That's why I'm glad to be poor

You can have the best smile
Money can buy
Botox your lips
Change the color of your eyes
But when judgement day comes
You'll never gonna win
When deep down inside you know you're ugly as sin

Another hurricane is comin'
A whole bunch of quakes
The air just poisoned
Grandma's birthday cake
You turned a pretty garden
Into livin' hell
Like throwing wooden nickels
In a wishing well
It was good while it lasted
Fun there's no doubt
Will the last person leavin'
Please turn the lights out

Money makes you ugly
Baby that's the truth
Money makes you ugly
You're the livin' proof
One thing in life I know for sure
Money makes you ugly
That's why I'm glad to be poor

(Money makes you ugly)
That's why I'm glad to be poor
(Money makes you ugly)
I'm so happy I'm poor
(Money makes you ugly)
