Bé, la crisi està apretant molt fort en Catalunya i l'estat espanyol, i aqui sumem els problemes que patim a Catalunya - resulta que des de Madrid ens culpen de tot, però no volen que marxem! En fi, avui pot haver un canvi de govern a Madrid, o no, però m'imagino que passi el que passi, demà i passat demà la cosa només anirà a pitjor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aquesta cançó no l'havia escoltada des de l'any 1988. Basicament perque és una cançó que només té sentit per un adolescent, i que viu a Anglaterra. Quan &lt;strong&gt;Morrissey &lt;/strong&gt;canta "cada dia és com diumenge", a Anglaterra, i especialment en el tipus de poble que el coneixia, està cantant d'una situació molt depriment, on res canvia i no hi ha res a fer. Un diumenge qualsevol, per un jove anglès en aquella època podria ser etern, un avorriment etern. &lt;strong&gt;Morrissey&lt;/strong&gt; demana que li llancen una bomba atomica damunt!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Com podeu imaginar, aquest concepte, de que els diumenges son els dies pitjors, aqui a Catalunya no té gaire sentit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Però, l'altre dia un amic em va fer recordar la cançó i crec que pot ser apte per avui, i demà, i passat-demà ....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...............&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, elections today in Spain. Doesn't look good. Whoever wins is promising more and more cutbacks and I imagine it's only a matter of days before Angela Merkel comes-a-calling! No one has a magic solution but presumably the people will think "a change is as good as a rest", kick out the left-wing (no!!, lost the dictionary) Socialists and install the right-wing PP. Whoever wins, don't look great for Catalunya either as both major parties in Spain are insinuating cutting back on Catalan rights and freedoms. Hopefully, the Catalans themselves will vote for a pro-Catalan party, but it's still a small voice when they go to Madrid.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a nutshell, Spain is heading for grey, if not black, days and there's no sun on the horizon, which subtly reminded me of this song which I had not listened to since I left England many years ago, as here the concept of Sundays being miserable and grey and boring, well, doesn't apply. Till now.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d0LeL9BUPtA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3718122865931540353?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3718122865931540353/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/every-day-is-like-sunday-morrissey.html#comment-form' title='2 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3718122865931540353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3718122865931540353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/every-day-is-like-sunday-morrissey.html' title='Every day is like Sunday - Morrissey'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bznCJFi6zNo/Tsa6_f_PVPI/AAAAAAAABBQ/jr8hz2bDuPA/s72-c/grey_scale.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-8555324573702850062</id><published>2011-11-19T09:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T09:01:00.949+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='monument'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='they shall not pass'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grace petrie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tortosa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the revolution will not be televised'/><title type='text'>The revolution will not be televised / They shall not pass</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vl74UWp6pAE/TsVNpHcD9jI/AAAAAAAABBE/ndBI4iHfMtI/s1600/DSCF4474_pemi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676028274137101874" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vl74UWp6pAE/TsVNpHcD9jI/AAAAAAAABBE/ndBI4iHfMtI/s320/DSCF4474_pemi.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Aixi que, donant per perdut els Top 40, quedem amb els cantautors. Aqui tenim una que &lt;strong&gt;Billy Bragg&lt;/strong&gt; ens recomana. &lt;strong&gt;Grace Petrie&lt;/strong&gt; amb dos cançons, &lt;strong&gt;The revolution will not be televised&lt;/strong&gt; i, recordant que demà és el 20N, que fa 36 anys que va morir Franco (hola Tortosa - ja podeu treure el seu monument!), &lt;strong&gt;They Shall Not Pass&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, forgetting the Top 40, it looks like we'll have to stick with the usual singer-songwriters to give us some clues about the state of the world. Here's a new one that Billy Bragg himself endorses - &lt;strong&gt;Grace Petrie&lt;/strong&gt;. Two songs today, &lt;strong&gt;The revolution will not be televised&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;They Shall Not Pass&lt;/strong&gt; - in homage to those who fought for liberty, and democracy, in Spain and Catalunya. Well-timed, as tomorrow is the anniversary of Franco's death - he died 36 years ago, although Tortosa's council seem not to have realised with their insistence on maintaining his monument in place!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/puLDFrb7PSM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kpGq_ia748s" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-8555324573702850062?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/8555324573702850062/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/revolution-will-not-be-televised-they.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8555324573702850062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8555324573702850062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/revolution-will-not-be-televised-they.html' title='The revolution will not be televised / They shall not pass'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vl74UWp6pAE/TsVNpHcD9jI/AAAAAAAABBE/ndBI4iHfMtI/s72-c/DSCF4474_pemi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-1196466766287767572</id><published>2011-11-18T08:48:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T08:48:00.753+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ry cooder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no banker left behind'/><title type='text'>No banker left behind - Ry Cooder</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjvHpJvFP0g/TsVLe0uTUnI/AAAAAAAABA4/XmacNI23WnM/s1600/pigs2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 213px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 203px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676025898291384946" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjvHpJvFP0g/TsVLe0uTUnI/AAAAAAAABA4/XmacNI23WnM/s320/pigs2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Pos, si, tal com deia l'altre dia hi havia un temps quan els grups dels "top 40" també posaven algun missatget d'inconformitat dins d'alguna cançó - no només els cantants sempre "compromesos", sino tothom. Els &lt;strong&gt;Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red, Fine Young Cannibals, Culture Club, Depeche Mode, Style Council&lt;/strong&gt;, i molts més, tots van ser capaços de barrejar un missatge amb un "hit". Ara no trobo cap als Top 40. Els "de sempre", però, encara lluitan .. &lt;strong&gt;Bruce, Neil Young, Billy Bragg&lt;/strong&gt; i avui &lt;strong&gt;Ry Cooder - No Banker Left Behind&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, as I've been saying, there was a time when "social message" and "Top 40" could be found in the same hit song. Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red, Depeche Mode, Style Council and so on, all managed to write top 10 hits with some kind of "message". And today? Have a look at the Top 40, and there is nothing. Luckily the "usual suspects", the old classic protesters still churn out the goods but it's not what I've been looking for. Bruce, Neil Young, Billy Bragg, Ry Cooder, all still there - here's &lt;strong&gt;Ry&lt;/strong&gt;, with &lt;strong&gt;No Banker Left Behind&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZXHckAFMzaw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-1196466766287767572?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/1196466766287767572/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-banker-left-behind-ry-cooder.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1196466766287767572'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1196466766287767572'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-banker-left-behind-ry-cooder.html' title='No banker left behind - Ry Cooder'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjvHpJvFP0g/TsVLe0uTUnI/AAAAAAAABA4/XmacNI23WnM/s72-c/pigs2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3626978103464873900</id><published>2011-11-15T09:56:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T09:56:00.285+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shipbuilding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='robert wyatt'/><title type='text'>Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;De cançons protesta, hi han hagut moltes, i molts de cantants encara estan en natros avui en dia. Als 30, 40, per exemple, teniem a Woody Guthrie i Pete Seeger. Als 60, alguns dels grans, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, pero fins i tot els artistes més populars, lo que deia l'altre dia els del "mainstream" - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones - tothom tenia alguna peça per afegir a la llista de cançons amb missatge politic, o cançons contra la guerra, o simplement protestant per qualsevol injustica al mon. I ara que?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Durant la guerra de les Malvines, al 1982, &lt;strong&gt;Elvis Costello i Clive Langer&lt;/strong&gt; van escriure aquesta peça classica, &lt;strong&gt;Shipbuilding.&lt;/strong&gt; La guerra va ser un impuls important per les ciutats britaniques que vivien de l'industria de la construcció de vaixells de guerra. Aquestes ciutats estaven en crisi, amb molt d'atur, i la guerra va representar una esperança de tornar a tenir diners i menjar damunt la taula. Però, les lletres deixen molt clar la pregunta, si val la pena tenir diners a costa de la perdua de vides humanes. Tornaran a haver-n'hi diners al poble, però també tornariem els atauds amb els jovens morts a la guerra. Is it worth it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La primera versió de la cançó la va gravar &lt;strong&gt;Robert Wyatt&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ok, so many of the protest singers are still doing the rounds, and we can always rely on Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young to come up with the goods, but where are the mainstream teenage orientated bands? Back in the 60s, the two biggest bands out, The Beatles and The Stones, still found time to send out the occasional angry message.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here's another classic protest song, a real tear-jerker. The Falklands War meant re-opening ship-yards in dying industrial towns of the UK, and as such it meant money and food on the table for many families who were out of work and with few prospects. But, not only would money be coming home, but also the coffins of the young soldiers dying in a useless war. Is it worth it?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Written by &lt;strong&gt;Elvis Costello and Clive Langer&lt;/strong&gt;, they offered it to &lt;strong&gt;Robert Wyatt&lt;/strong&gt; to record first.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Listen and enjoy this work of art.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B6T9qp9XbRY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3626978103464873900?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3626978103464873900/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/shipbuilding-robert-wyatt.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3626978103464873900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3626978103464873900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/shipbuilding-robert-wyatt.html' title='Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/B6T9qp9XbRY/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-2088577391865652282</id><published>2011-11-14T09:50:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T09:50:01.200+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1970s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ohio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crosby stills nash young'/><title type='text'>Ohio - Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A l'any 1970, els estudiants de l'universitat d'Ohio estaven protestant contra la invasió de Camboia dels EEUU com part de la guerra que lluitaven al Vietnam.

Als anys 80, molts ajuntaments liderats per laboristes de l'ala més a l'esquerra publicaven o promocionaven material escolar on s'explicava que l'homosexualitat era una cosa "normal", i donava la mateixa importancia a families composades per homosexuals com a les families "tradicionales". Evidentment, davant d'aquest "escandol, el govern de Thatcher va fer alguna cosa. A una de les lleis sobe governació local, van introduir la famosa esmena 28 (clause 28) que prohibia la promoció de "comportaments homosexuals" o la representació com si fos una cosa normal, en material escolar. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Moltes artistes van fer campanya en contra d'aquesta esmena, la cançó més famosa potser és aquesta, &lt;strong&gt;No to Clause 28&lt;/strong&gt; del &lt;strong&gt;Boy George&lt;/strong&gt;. Per si no queda prou clar al video, estem parlant dels anys 80!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This protest song refers to a specific issue. In the 80s, UK local labour councils, or at least the "radical" ones, had a tendency to publish school material depicting homosexuals as "normal" people (shock, horror!!), and homosexual-parent families as being equal to "traditional" families (what?!). Faced with this major scandal and the possibilities of millions of children being brainwashed to become homosexuals, the Thatcher government had a brainwave and introduced clause 28 as an amendment to one of the local government regulations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quoting Wikipedia&lt;em&gt;: The amendment stated that a local authority "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So, as you can imagine, many artists were up in arms and produced songs, documentaries, writings in protest. Here's &lt;strong&gt;Boy George's&lt;/strong&gt; contribution - &lt;strong&gt;No to clause 28&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MI0tZjH06BQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3702029194315946203?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3702029194315946203/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-to-clause-28-boy-george.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3702029194315946203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3702029194315946203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-to-clause-28-boy-george.html' title='No to clause 28 - Boy George'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/MI0tZjH06BQ/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3519899814010773699</id><published>2011-11-12T09:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T09:21:00.327+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='phil ochs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest songs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1960s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='i ain&apos;t a-marching anymore'/><title type='text'>I ain't a-marching anymore - Phil Ochs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No podem negar que estem vivint temps dificils, temps en que molta gent té motius per estar emprenyats, indignats, amb el sistema, amb els governants, amb els bancs .... i sembla que no sabem com sortir-ne! Però, la meva pregunta és; quines cançons pop-rock reflecteixen aquests sentiments? On estan les cançons de protesta del segle 21?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Des de sempre, i avui en dia, els cantautors han escrit cançons de protesta - contra la guerra, la violencia, el capitalisme, la desigualtat, el racisme, i infinitat de situacions concretes. Suposo que avui en dia també les fan, però a diferencia de altres epoques trobo a faltar els artistes "mainstream" - en altres decades alguns dels artistes que sempre estaven a les llistes d'exits també cantaven alguna cançó protesta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;En fi, mentre intento trobar-les del segle 21, repassarem 3 o 4 de les grans cançons. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phil Ochs&lt;/strong&gt; va cantar aquesta cançó contra la guerra i repressió violenta a la decada dels 60, &lt;strong&gt;I ain't a-marching anymore.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, watching the news it looks like the world's gonna end! Or at least the world based on Money Money Money! Everywhere you look, crisis, bankruptcy, political scandals, added to the usual problems of war, starvation and deadly diseases. It's so bad that we don't even have time to worry about the environmental problems, global warming, sea levels etc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Over past decades artists have often composed songs reflecting their worries on local and global issues, protest songs. Not just singer-songwriters, but mainstream pop artists used to jump on board the Protest Bus, getting the message out to a mass audience. So, where are they today?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;While I search for them, over the next few days we'll post a few classic protest songs from the past .... starting with &lt;strong&gt;Phil Ochs'&lt;/strong&gt; 1960s song, &lt;strong&gt;I ain't a-marching anymore&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L5pgrKSwFJE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3519899814010773699?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3519899814010773699/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-aint-marching-anymore-phil-ochs.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3519899814010773699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3519899814010773699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-aint-marching-anymore-phil-ochs.html' title='I ain&apos;t a-marching anymore - Phil Ochs'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/L5pgrKSwFJE/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-8927285996743581075</id><published>2011-11-11T09:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T09:23:00.614+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1970s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='squeeze'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='is that love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='up the junction'/><title type='text'>Is that love/ Up the junction - Squeeze</title><content type='html'>Two more hits from Squeeze.&lt;br /&gt;Is that love?&lt;br /&gt;Up the junction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CAY9Vyo0g0A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A7DRq7_5sQs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-8927285996743581075?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/8927285996743581075/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/is-that-love-up-junction-squeeze.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8927285996743581075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8927285996743581075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/is-that-love-up-junction-squeeze.html' title='Is that love/ Up the junction - Squeeze'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/CAY9Vyo0g0A/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-7786274747160050843</id><published>2011-11-10T09:04:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T09:04:01.070+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pulling mussels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='squeeze'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='another nail in my heart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><title type='text'>Another nail /Pulling Mussels - Squeeze</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tant de bloc i encara no haviem posat a &lt;strong&gt;Squeeze&lt;/strong&gt;! Un dels grups més interessants dels principis dels 80, però ara injustament oblidat per molta gent (incluyent aquest bloc fins ara!). &lt;strong&gt;Squeeze&lt;/strong&gt; feien cançons amb bona musica, molt "catchy" (enganxosa?), musics superbs, i lletres divertides i originales. Entre els seus membres estaven el duo de Chris Difford i Glen Tilbrook, qui van escriure la majoria de les cançons, i als teclats primer Jools Holland, i despres Phil Carrack. Que podria fallar. Potser us sona el nom de Jools Holland ja que avui en dia presenta un programa de musica en directe molt bo al BBC (o al Digital Plus).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Igual ven escriure 10 o 20 super-hits, però en general tots els seus LPs son recomanables. Que tal si recuperem el temps perdut, ficant 2 avui, 2 demà.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another Nail In My Heart.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pulling Mussels (from the shell).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.........&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Squeeze&lt;/strong&gt; - amazing how great they were, and how quickly they've been forgotten by many. I'm sure most young people today have never heard of them and it's a shame. At the start of the 80s they wrote hit after hit, mainly down to the leading artists Chris Difford and Glen Tilbrook. On keyboards they have had Jools Holland and Phil Carrack at different times in their career. Catchy pop music, amusing and original lyrics with many a play on words.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To make up for lost time on this blog, let's have two of their hits today, and another couple tomorrow.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/l07bZjtz4go" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cuJ1AefhWzE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-7786274747160050843?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/7786274747160050843/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/another-nail-pulling-mussels-squeeze.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/7786274747160050843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/7786274747160050843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/11/another-nail-pulling-mussels-squeeze.html' title='Another nail /Pulling Mussels - Squeeze'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/l07bZjtz4go/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3347431067667145742</id><published>2011-11-07T11:58:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-07T15:49:52.217+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='black bird daisy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='petit'/><title type='text'>Black Bird Daisy - petit</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IsZcYNtiQ44/Tre5zKwGj6I/AAAAAAAABAs/5HkAspHXTzA/s1600/Blackbird%2Bdaisy%2BEP%2Bportada.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 255px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672206544407007138" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IsZcYNtiQ44/Tre5zKwGj6I/AAAAAAAABAs/5HkAspHXTzA/s320/Blackbird%2Bdaisy%2BEP%2Bportada.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Fa uns dies vaig parlar de &lt;strong&gt;petit&lt;/strong&gt; i la seva musica &lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/petit"&gt;aquí al bloc.&lt;/a&gt; Si mireu l'enllaç a l'apunt original podeu trobar maneres de seguir-li i escoltar la seva musica a traves de la xarxa, ja que , com molts "petits" artistes, sembla que la boca-a-boca, o teclat-a-teclat, és la manera més eficaç de fer-se un espai i arribar a la gent. &lt;a href="http://www.welovepetit.com/es"&gt;Aqui&lt;/a&gt; acaba de sortir el seu web nou.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aquest estiu ha gravat el EP (un album més curt que un LP, amb 4 o 5 pistes - explicació per a la gent que son massa jovens per haver sentit parlar de singles, LPs, EPs, "12 inches", double albums etc!), &lt;strong&gt;Black Bird Daisy&lt;/strong&gt;.

More and more music-lovers are picking up on little gems like this through youtubes, facebooks, twitters etc and leaving the mass-media to the dinosaurs like Coldplay or the Rolling Stones. If you like music, I recommend turning off Top of the Pops, and surfing the net ... you'll be surprised!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyway, clicking on the previous post, you'll find info about petit, and his newly updated &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.welovepetit.com/es"&gt;&lt;em&gt;web is here.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; If you visit (or when you visit), you can choose English as the language :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This summer &lt;strong&gt;petit&lt;/strong&gt; released the EP &lt;strong&gt;Black bird Daisy&lt;/strong&gt; which can be heard and downloaded legally (for a reasonable price) at &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://petit.bandcamp.com/album/the-blackbird-daisy-ep"&gt;&lt;em&gt;this address&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. And this week, today even, he has released the first video clip - a clip of the title song, &lt;strong&gt;Black Bird Daisy&lt;/strong&gt;. Enjoy this!

Guy, i els seus companys volien matar aquest rei protestant, i altres protestants importants del parliament i del "establishment", per sustituir-los per una reina catolica (Elisabeth, la filla de James I). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Per bé o per mal, les autoritats li van enxampar, el 5 de novembre 1605. Li van jutjar i li van penjar, i tallar en 4 troços tal com es feia en aquells temps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Els anglesos celebrem això cada 5 de novembre fent un manequi de Guy Fawkes i cremant-li damunt una foguera. També fem coets artificials i jocs pels jovens, i gaudim de menjars tipics a la vora del foc, perquè normalment per aquestes dates fa un fred que pela! Es diu &lt;strong&gt;Bonfire Night, o Guy Fawkes Night&lt;/strong&gt;. Fa temps també es cantava versos contra els catolics i el Papa, però per sort, ara és només una festa de xalar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No està gens clar que allò que volia fer Guy Fawkes ens hagues anat bé pels anglesos, però d'aixo ja fa 400 anys. Des de llavors, i cada cop més rapidament, el parliament britanic ha anat perdent prestigi, i ara aixo de ficar-li una bomba, mmmmm ....! O aixi ho veia &lt;strong&gt;Alan Moore&lt;/strong&gt; en la seva novel·la grafica &lt;strong&gt;V for Vendetta&lt;/strong&gt;, qui va agafar la cara de Guy Fawkes per a la mascara que porta V en la seva lluita per aconseguir allò que Fawkes no va fer. Si no heu llegit la novel·la, és com el &lt;strong&gt;1984&lt;/strong&gt; de Orwell actualitzat!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I ara, evidentment, aquesta cara ha quedat com el simbol que tots coneixem com, més o menys, algu que lluita contra el sistema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bé, aquesta cançò no surt a la pel·licula que es va fer sobre la novel·la, però algu ho ha penjat al Youtube amb aquestes imatgens de la pel·li, i trobo que no queden gens malament.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Illusion - VNV Nation&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As you can imagine &lt;strong&gt;Guy Fawkes&lt;/strong&gt;, and Bonfire Night, is not very well known outside of the UK! It's a very English story and history. However, when &lt;strong&gt;Alan Moore&lt;/strong&gt; wanted a mask for the "hero" of his graphic novel, &lt;strong&gt;V for Vendetta&lt;/strong&gt;, he chose this one. In this novel (pretty much an updated version of Orwell's 1984), the main character, V, also intends to blow up the Houses of Parliament! Shock, horror! Check out the book, or film, and you'll see why.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In recent times more and more people have started wearing this mask too, to show they are against the system, and against the establishment. For better or for worse, Guy Fawkes' masks are the symbol of the "&lt;strong&gt;Outraged!"&lt;/strong&gt; movement which is gathering steam worldwide. Will some good come of it? Can anybody shake up the system?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyway, this song does not appear in the film, but as this youtube-user shows, it does suit this video clip he's made of the film's highlights.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Illusion - VNV Nation &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420"

Més que substituir-la, Halloween se suma a la festa a casa nostra. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I de fet, no deixen de ser la mateixa festa, però que, a traves dels anys, s’han anat desenvolupant diferents maneres de celebrar-la. Una mica de historia que m’ha tocat aprendre, ja que, per molt que els llibres d’anglès dels alumnes parlen de Halloween, fa 20 anys quan jo era més jove, no es celebrava a Anglaterra, era una festa que es celebrava a Irlanda o als EEUU ... Bé, sembla ser que, com gairebé totes les festes americanes, té els seus orígens a Europa. En temps dels celtes i dels ibers, una festa pagana per fer fugir els esperits que tornaven a la terra pel any nou, que ells celebraven per aquestes dades, amb la collita feta just entrant el hivern. Desprès, com és habitual, l’església es faria càrrec de la festa, convertint-la en Dia, i nit, de Tots Sants (All Hallows Eve en anglès antic – o sigui, la festa té el mateix nom com aquí).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Encara que pensem (jo inclòs) que el “trick or treat” (truco o trato) és una americanada, resulta que també té els seus arrels en una tradició europea. Fa mil anys quan la gent anaven per les cases dient pregaries per a les animes de familiars morts, a canvi de una petita pasta (un exemple d’aquesta tradició a Itàlia es pot trobar en l’obra de Shakespeare, Els Senyors de Verona). Així que la Castanyada i Halloween no deixen de ser festes molt semblants en els seus principis. A banda de tenir el mateix nom, també em consta que la gent gran aquí se’n recorda de buidar carabasses i tallar-les cares fa anys, o passar la nit contant histories “per a no dormir”. Mon sogre ens parlava de passar la nit al cementeri i ell no havia sentit mai parlar de Halloween.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En resumen, personalment trobo que no cal que rebutjem tot lo que fan als EEUU perquè, ben mirat, no deixen de ser tradicions europees, que s’han anat diferenciant a traves dels temps. Un altre exemple, és el dia de San Valenti, que té els seus arrels en una festa dels grecs/romans, i que desprès l’esglèsia agafaria com a seva. En lo que si que es diferencien però, i molt, és que cada festa americana (i ara anglesa) se converteix en un exercici de consumisme. En això si que hi estic en contra, hi ha un límit dels diners que cal gastar per passar–ho bé. Així que mentre no es perden els costums d’aquí, trobo que podem sumar més festes – ja treballem prou el rest de l’any!&lt;br /&gt;En resumen, una festa sempre és benvinguda a casa nostra, vingui de on vingui!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot això, per arribar al punt important. Lo que si que fem bé a la cultura americana/anglesa, és afegir cançons de pop/rock a cada festa, i per a Halloween també poden escoltar algunes. Si feu &lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BH95754G"&gt;clik aqui &lt;/a&gt;podeu baixar una bona recopilació de cançons de por, feta per Tannu Tuva productions! Però si encara no és el dia 31 – és igual, millor ocell a la má que 2 volant!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una cançó clàssica, que és la primera en la selecció, és la de &lt;strong&gt;Bobby “Boris” Pickett&lt;/strong&gt;, cantant el Monster Mash (Pickett, Capizzi) a l’any 1962 amb una bona imitació de les veus de Boris Karloff i Bela Lugosi. La lletra, perfecta per avui, parla d’un científic boig fent una festa amb homes-llops, vampirs, zombis, ... i ballant el &lt;strong&gt;Monster Mash&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.............................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The first of November is &lt;strong&gt;All Saints’ Day&lt;/strong&gt;, a public holiday in Catalonia when people traditionally pay their annual visits to the cemetries.The night before, 31st October, is called the “&lt;strong&gt;Castanyada&lt;/strong&gt;” (chestnut feast?!). People get together to eat traditional food, such as sweet potatoes, and chestnuts, and a delicious sweet almond-based treat known as “panillets”. Families and friends meet up and a good time is had by all. Recently, elements of &lt;strong&gt;Halloween&lt;/strong&gt; are being introduced into these activities, and many locals are worried the tradional Catalan festa will lose out to the American Halloween. However, my personal opinion is that the two can live side by side, and what’s more, both celebrations have the same origins, in the pagan acts celebrated to ward off evil spirits many years ago in Europe. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, what’s a party without music? If you&lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BH95754G"&gt; click here &lt;/a&gt;you can get a download of the Tannu Tuva official Halloween spooky music CD!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;The first song of which, is the Monster Mash ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0thH3qnHTbI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-6044321535858922536?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6044321535858922536/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/recopilacio-de-musica-per-celebrar-la.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6044321535858922536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6044321535858922536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/recopilacio-de-musica-per-celebrar-la.html' title='Recopilació de Musica per a Celebrar la Castanyada i Halloween'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TugS8zU3OjE/Tqkw3cR9EtI/AAAAAAAAA_s/6UFjbma6t0c/s72-c/chestnutsinburr%252520copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-7598690915060010243</id><published>2011-10-27T12:29:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-27T12:31:57.634+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jar of hearts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cristina perri'/><title type='text'>Jar of hearts - Cristina Perri</title><content type='html'>Havia oblidat aquesta peça.

Un pais precios, amb una gent educada i culta (bé, els 3 o 4 que he conegut!), el ball dels All Blacks, el no-nuclearització, les pel·líes The Piano, Lord of the Rings, Braindead - quin crak el Peter Jackson!, la serie The Flight of the Conchords, i sobretot els germans Finn.

Two I really enjoy are &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://jmtibau.blogspot.com/2011/10/218e-joc-literari.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jesus Tibau's literary blog&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, especially for the literature/writing quizes he posts every Wednesday, and another one is this, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://booksincities.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Books In Cities.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; The idea is to guess where the photo (of a book) was taken. It could be anywhere in the world - recent solution has been Whitby, UK - and clues are offered. You can also participate by helping the blog-masters (cool name!) and sending in your own photos with/without clues, so if any of my more "exotic" visitors are reading this, and understand a minimum of Catalan (ei, remember Latin?), then have a go at sending one in. If you need my help, just shout:)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Books, leads me on to the Irving Berlin Songbook which we've just borrowed from the library, and &lt;strong&gt;Blue Skies by Ella&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nB-xqDZbEVQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-6632584590253682734?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6632584590253682734/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/dos-blogs-amb-llibres-i-blue-skies-de.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6632584590253682734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6632584590253682734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/dos-blogs-amb-llibres-i-blue-skies-de.html' title='Dos blogs amb llibres - i Blue Skies de Ella Fitzgerald'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/nB-xqDZbEVQ/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-6733840092686908123</id><published>2011-10-22T09:36:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-22T09:36:00.684+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='films'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daft punk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='derezzed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><title type='text'>Pel·lícules diverses, amb Derezzed dels Daft Punk</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SfUxB_cCBLo/TqBG1RFIimI/AAAAAAAAA_I/8BJFGzcj2yI/s1600/Tron_olivia_wilde.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665606212164029026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 181px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SfUxB_cCBLo/TqBG1RFIimI/AAAAAAAAA_I/8BJFGzcj2yI/s400/Tron_olivia_wilde.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ultimament he tingut més temps a casa del que voldria i aprofitat per mirar algunes pel·licules, i ara farem una critica express:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hancock &lt;/strong&gt;- d'un superheroi borratxo i mal-educat, molt bona i original, però no apte pels petits de casa!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tiana i el gripau&lt;/strong&gt; - no és cap gripau, és una granota. Bona pel·lícula, però les escenes del vudu donen una mica de temor als petits. Bon jazz!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iron Man 2&lt;/strong&gt; - evidentment, un classic. Iron man + Robert Downey Jr + Gwyneth Paltrow, pos, que pot fallar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dos tontos muy tontos (Dumb and Dumber&lt;/strong&gt;) - només ho he vist 8 vegades.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El castell caminador &lt;/strong&gt;(bé, en castellà, &lt;strong&gt;el castillo ambulante&lt;/strong&gt;) - dibuixos animats, un conte precios i original, japones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Control &lt;/strong&gt;- l'historia del cantant de Joy Division. Molt bona pel·lícula, molt bona música, però evidentment depriment i trist (no explico que passa).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shark Boy i Lava Girl&lt;/strong&gt; - superherois fantastics per als xiquets, ens va agradar molt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tron -&lt;/strong&gt; recordant vells temps, la primer pel·lícula que vaig anar a vore al cine tot sol. Bonissima, no l'havia tornat a vore en 30 anys i recordava gairebe tot. Una pel·lícula (igual que Bladerunner salvant les distancies, una es per a grans, una, pos, no) que encara que parlava del futur, no s'ha quedat antiguada. Sovint quan veus pel·lis futuristes fetes fa 10 anys, te'n rius de com pintaven el futur, però aquesta està ben aconseguida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tron Legacy&lt;/strong&gt; - la segona part que van fer l'any passat. Bestial!! I amb moltes referencies a la primera, es recomana mirar totes dues juntes. I surt la "Tretze" ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scoop &lt;/strong&gt;- Woody Allen + Scarlett Johansson = perfecció! Guio previsible però no és l'important quan busques a Woody Allen (o la Scarlett!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Escoltant a Garzon&lt;/strong&gt; - ja se que aquest jutge no te gaire simpaties a Catalunya però l'historia d'ell és l'historia de l'estat espanyol recentment - patetic. Aixo si, encara que només sigui una entrevista, la posat en escena de Coixet està molt bé`. L'unica pega, que podrien haver dit el mateix en la meitat del temps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;More time on my hands these days and I've become an express-film critic. So what have I watched this week;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Listening to Judge Garzon&lt;/strong&gt; - a 90 minute interview with the "super-judge" from Spain (remember Pinochet?) who is currently fighting to save his career and reputation after numerous half-baked attacks from right-wing press and pressure groups. Thanks to his attempts to get Spain to recognise what had gone on under Franco, and allow relatives of those killed and tortured to find out the truths, the right-wing in Spain have decided to do away with him by hook or by crook. An amazing story, though a little complicated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tron &lt;/strong&gt;- first film I saw on my own at a cinema back in the early 80s. This week repeated in TV, still great, and still looks futuristic.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tron Legacy&lt;/strong&gt; - second part just came out, and just as good as the first - with plenty of winks to it. And Jeff Bridges. And "Thirteen"!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scoop&lt;/strong&gt; - Woody Allen + Scarlett Johannson - must I say more! Weak plot, but great lines abound.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Princess and the Frog&lt;/strong&gt; - great Disney film, great jazz.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Howl's Moving Castle&lt;/strong&gt; - Japanese cartoon fairy tale, a beautiful film, recommended for all ages, really well made.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iron Man 2&lt;/strong&gt; - one of my favourite cartoon heroes + Robert Downey Jr + Gwyneth Paltrow = 10 out of 10&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hancock&lt;/strong&gt; - new look at superheroes , not for kids, but really funny!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dumb and Dumber&lt;/strong&gt; - only seen it 8 times&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Control&lt;/strong&gt; - the story of Ian Curtis, the Joy Division singer. Great film, great music, and depressing story.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shark Boy and Lava Girl&lt;/strong&gt; - fantastic, in every sense of the word, superhero film for kids&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The song&lt;strong&gt;: Derezzed&lt;/strong&gt; dels &lt;strong&gt;Daft Punk&lt;/strong&gt;, de la pel·lícula Tron Legacy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_6Afc2uzw4g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-6733840092686908123?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6733840092686908123/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/pellicules-diverses-amb-derezzed-dels.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6733840092686908123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6733840092686908123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/pellicules-diverses-amb-derezzed-dels.html' title='Pel·lícules diverses, amb Derezzed dels Daft Punk'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SfUxB_cCBLo/TqBG1RFIimI/AAAAAAAAA_I/8BJFGzcj2yI/s72-c/Tron_olivia_wilde.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3922333197715814008</id><published>2011-10-21T09:13:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-21T09:13:00.463+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peter gabriel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mandela'/><title type='text'>Biko de Peter Gabriel, i la grandesa de Nelson Mandela</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ultimament he tingut més temps del que voldria a casa i he aprofitat per acabar uns llibres mig-llegits. He acabat &lt;strong&gt;El lladre de cervells, de Pere Estupinya&lt;/strong&gt; - molt recomanable, un de assaig del &lt;strong&gt;Richard Feynman&lt;/strong&gt; - molt recomanable, of course, i aquest ... &lt;strong&gt;Nelson Mandela, En les seves paraules.&lt;/strong&gt; És una col·lecció de tots els seus discursos, barrejats amb assaijos sobre ell de diferents escriptors i personalitats d'una certa importancia. L'historia de Mandela és una historia molt important per la gent anglèsa de la meva generació ja que ens vam fer grans als 80 just quan la lluita anti-apartheid estava en el seu punt més fort. L'universitat era un continuo d'activitats (recordo bé el boicot al banc Barclays i el nostre rebuig a esportistes i artistes que anaven a actuar a Sud Africa, i els actes que feiem per recollir fons ...). Però despres de llegir aquest llibre, m'he quedat encara més impressionat que mai - sincerament crec que es una de les histories més importants del segle 20 per les lliçons que ens pot donar Mandela. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No us vull explicar tot, però en 4 ratlles .... els 40 anys de lluita, 30 al carcel, mai va perdre de vista la victoria i com s'hauria de gestionar el final del conflicte. Mentre altres verien que al final els "negres" han guanyat als "blancs", ell mai ho va vore aixi, sino que la gent guanyaria al sistema. Que tota la gent que havia recolsat aquest sistema racista durant mig segle, se'ls havia d'incorporar en el nou SurAfrica, un pais amb igualtat per a tothom. Ja podeu imaginar tot el que això implica i aquest mateix ideal va tenir clar quan va entrar al carcel al 1962, i quan va sortir a l'any 1990. I la reconstrucció i reconciliació del pais que va portar a terme mentre era president, ens deixa sense paraules quan ho compares amb altres "liders" mundials.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;En fi, una cançò d'aquella època que ens va agradar molt va ser &lt;strong&gt;Biko del Peter Gabriel&lt;/strong&gt;, sobre &lt;strong&gt;Steve Biko&lt;/strong&gt; un altre heroi d'aquella lluita anti-apartheid que va morir torturat per la policia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I us ajunto dos extractes de dos dels assaig del llibre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spending more time than I'd like to at home at the moment, I've managed to finish off a few half-read books. One is &lt;strong&gt;Nelson Mandela - In His Own Words&lt;/strong&gt;, a collection of his speeches and essays about him. Words fail me so I'll leave you with 2 extracts from these essays, and a song about another South African hero, &lt;strong&gt;Steve Biko&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tyrants try to break people or, like petty gods, to re-make them in their own image. There was never much chance of Mandela being broken, but the danger, even in heroic defiance, is that it can make the world of the rebel as narrow as that of the oppressor, concentrate it so much on the struggle, not to be broken that it becomes hard, unmoving, knotted. The tough shell of resistance grows thicker with every insult it must withstand and the person acquires the diginity but also the coldness of a monument. Thus the tyrant creates a mirror-image of himself, hate matching hate, contempt reflecting contempt. Mandela's greatness is that he remained bigger than his captors, that his mind stayed large enough to imagine for them what they had not dared to imagine for themselves: that they might become better than they had been, that they too might attain the only dignity worth having, the dignity of common humanity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(from an essay by journalist Fintan O'Toole in the book "Nelson Mandela -- in his own words")&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Regarding Mandela's emphasis on NOT diminishing or showing contempt for his adversary&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;This approach is what saved South Africa from civil war (after Mandela's release). It is an approach that would serve Israel and Palestine well in their search for peace and justice today. It is an ethos of avoiding the accumulated bitterness that has scarred the Balkans and delayed the resolution of the troubles in N.Ireland. It is a powerful reminder of the folly of the US/UK-led war on Iraq, given the humiliation of the entire Muslim world. If in the conduct of war and struggle you humiliate your adversary, reconciliation and the achievement of democracy after the struggle is overly difficult, even impossible, and certainly delayed. Mandela's profound wisdom of anticipating, premeditating, future outcomes as a guide for how you conduct your struggles and political conduct is the most telling legacy he leaves us from his leadership.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Wilmot James, essay in "Mandela - in his own words")&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MgM-1r0X5Zc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3922333197715814008?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3922333197715814008/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/biko-de-peter-gabriel-i-la-grandesa-de.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3922333197715814008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3922333197715814008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/biko-de-peter-gabriel-i-la-grandesa-de.html' title='Biko de Peter Gabriel, i la grandesa de Nelson Mandela'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/MgM-1r0X5Zc/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3480583667187371995</id><published>2011-10-20T16:33:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-20T16:34:18.717+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tortosa'/><title type='text'>Avui Assemblea d'usaris de la sanitat publica de les TTE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_-DCf2pWMgk/TqAxQ261x2I/AAAAAAAAA-8/i0VmYQJ_Bqc/s1600/salutttsa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665582496922060642" style="DISPLAY: block;

Que jo també he sigut adolescent! Qui no feia això de joven, copiar les tapes dels LPs quan feiem copies en cassette?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;2. Que no era l'artista de la familia!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;3. Que lo que deia l'altre dia, sempre he tingut uns gustos raros, eclectics, per no dir frikis - potser aquesta cinta és una copia que vaig fer al 79 (d'uns discs dels anys 50-60 que tenien mons pares). Els companys de classe ja estaven en el Clash o Bruce Springsteen, i jo revivint els anys 50!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;4. Que la pirateria sempre ha exisitit, i la musica no ha mort encara.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;5.Que els Shadows mai passen de moda, com verem amb el clip d'avui.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This photo reveals:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. I was also a teenager! Hands up anybody who never copied LP covers onto their taped copies.&lt;br /&gt;2. I was no artist!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;3. I've always had unusual, eclectic, or downright weird, tastes in music. 1979, all the kids into Bruce Springsteen or the Clash and here I am copying my folks' 1950-60s Shadows' albums!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;4. Bootlegging music is not new. And music has not died.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;5. That the Shadows will always sound good.

Si hi ha un bloc de musica que intento seguir sempre que puc, és aquest, La Voz Telurica (bé, n'hi ha 3 o 4 que segueixo, però avuí toca aquest!). Per les entrades que escriuen i la musica de que parlen, crec que tenim molts de gusts en comú. Sempre et sorprenen amb alguna peça classica, mig-oblidada, o les novedades més rebuscades.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aquest dissabte, &lt;strong&gt;La Voz Telurica&lt;/strong&gt; organitza una festa a &lt;strong&gt;Tortosa&lt;/strong&gt;, consistint d'un concert dels Verkeren, seguit amb una mica de mix-tapes del &lt;strong&gt;Roco&lt;/strong&gt;, culpable principal de intentar despertar Tortosa, una ciutat que a estones sembla que encara tenim el monument de Franco perque no sabem que ja ha mort (&lt;em&gt;ei, no podia deixar passar l'oportunitat de marcar un gol&lt;/em&gt;!). Els mixtapes d'ell són tota una barreja eclectica de musica dels ultims 60 anys, si mireu una mica el blog o busqueu &lt;strong&gt;La Voz Telurica&lt;/strong&gt; pel Facebook, sabreu de que parlo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I els &lt;strong&gt;Verkeren &lt;/strong&gt;- pos, fa 15 dies no els coneixia però ara si, i m'agraden. Una mica de musica electronica tipus-80s. En fi, és evident que al blog de La Voz, ho explicaran millor. &lt;a href="http://lavoztelurica.blogspot.com/2011/10/noticia-verkeren-en-directo-en-la.html?spref=fb"&gt;Aqui &lt;/a&gt;o &lt;a href="http://lavoztelurica.blogspot.com/2011/04/disco-verkeren-intervencion-2011.html"&gt;aqui &lt;/a&gt;o &lt;a href="http://lavoztelurica.blogspot.com/2011/07/entrevista-test-telurico-rafa-alvarez.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=208215299248713&amp;amp;id=100001807329816&amp;amp;ref=notif&amp;amp;notif_t=feed_comment#!/event.php?eid=220399724686195"&gt;Facebook event.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe style="DISPLAY: block; WIDTH: 400px; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 100px" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=1905709451/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" frameborder="0" width="400" height="100"&gt;&lt;a href="http://verkeren.bandcamp.com/track/sin-la-teor-a"&gt;Sin la teoría by Verkeren&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-4801329218778448444?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4801329218778448444/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/sin-la-teoria-verkeren-tortosa-el-dia.html#comment-form' title='2 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4801329218778448444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4801329218778448444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/sin-la-teoria-verkeren-tortosa-el-dia.html' title='Sin la teoria - Verkeren (a Tortosa el dia 22)'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EZo_a2u_FHE/TpyAk9ybjGI/AAAAAAAAA-A/rnKYyk5kulU/s72-c/LOGO_VOZ_black.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-5867204965369604574</id><published>2011-10-04T09:30:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-04T09:30:02.691+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kon tiki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the shadows'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1960s'/><title type='text'>Kon Tiki - The Shadows</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fa 50 anys avui, els &lt;strong&gt;Shadows&lt;/strong&gt; van arribar al numero 1 a les llistes d'exits anglesos amb aquesta peça, &lt;strong&gt;Kon Tiki&lt;/strong&gt;.

Només ho vam poder soportar amb una dosi molt gran d'alcohol :) I aixo que només van tocar 25 minuts - ja que no donaven per a més!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Estem parlant del '86 i un tal Tony James, que abans havia tocat amb Billy Idol al grup Generation X, decideix fer un nou grup. Un grup pel segle 21, que havia de ajuntar tecnologia-sexe-consumisme-rock'n'roll etc per fer alguna cosa totalment novedosa. Per afegir més llenya al foc, provocaven molt i deien tot tipus de barbaritats i aixi la premsa anglesa no els podia vore i els criticava continuament. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Els concerts sempre acabaven malament en aldarulls ja que els components del grup també provocaven al public amb insults, escopinades etc. En fi, tot va ser un process de marketing brutal per vendre alguna cosa - l'unic que fallava era que no valien res, i un cop passat el boom de la fama facil, al segon any no se'n recordava d'ells ni els seus iaios. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Pero als principis tot tenia la pinta de ser un exercici de marketing com els Sex Pistols, en el qual la gent que els va vore al primers concerts, pos, sempre ho recordarien. T'imagines tenir l'entrada del primer concert dels Sex Pistols per vendre pel E-Bay? Pos, un amic i jo vam fer el mateix pensament aqui! Ara passat els anys, pos, si algu vol l'entrada per enmarcar, ho venc per 10 euros!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.............&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some groups are just a marketing strategy, and this is one such case. Provocative attitudes and declarations, concerts cancelled and riots day in day out. Spectacular videos and 21C rock'n'roll image. The only thing missing was a decent song! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyway, thinking we might be in at the start of the next Sex Pistols, a friend and I decided to go and see their show back in 1986. A big mistake only made bearable by continuous consumption of alcoholic beverages. Anyway, they did not make it big, and I have not got an extremely valuable concert ticket in my collection.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pk30a0qsVIk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3160323839664412200?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3160323839664412200/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/love-missile-f1-11-sigue-sigue-sputnik.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3160323839664412200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3160323839664412200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/10/love-missile-f1-11-sigue-sigue-sputnik.html' title='Love Missile F1-11 - Sigue Sigue Sputnik'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WPfi9NuePSU/TojDibmfqtI/AAAAAAAAA94/cgzXpKz4kWU/s72-c/sputnikcncert.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-6755756881435264797</id><published>2011-10-02T09:14:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-02T09:14:00.272+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='take it on the run'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concerts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reo speedwagon'/><title type='text'>On the run - REO Speedwagon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vMis3iOTe1o/TodKpeASLHI/AAAAAAAAA9w/z0gvT2lb3jM/s1600/reospeedconcert.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658573533103664242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 252px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vMis3iOTe1o/TodKpeASLHI/AAAAAAAAA9w/z0gvT2lb3jM/s320/reospeedconcert.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Tots tenim un passat fosc, el meu és la meva afició per aquesta música americana ... mentre la gent escoltaven als Smiths o The Cure, jo d'amagat tenia Journey, Boston, Styx, Foreigner ... i aquests!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Guilty pleasures abound!

Jo hi he estat, però només 9 hores - prous per a dinar i manifestar-me ... és una llarga historia!! Tenen un equip de futbol, son de les Isles Baleares com diu Antonia Font, i coneixem un bon tenista i xaval simpatic (encara que Madridista!). Tots els mallorquins que he conegut em semblen bona gent, encara que em costa a vegades seguir la conversa! I fan ensaimades gegantes, però degut a les restriccions d'equipatge de má de Ryanair, pos, no ens les porten ... en fi, haurem de tornar-hi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I de passo podriem buscar un concert de "&lt;a href="http://petit.bandcamp.com/album/the-blackbird-daisy-ep"&gt;petit&lt;/a&gt;".

With nice people- tennis player Rafa Nadal, for one; or pop group, Antonia Font etc. They make nice big buns too, called ensaimades. I went there once for 9 hours, just enough time to have lunch with a VIP and go on a protest march - but that's another story. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We need to go back, and if we do, we'll be able to listen to "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://petit.bandcamp.com/album/the-blackbird-daisy-ep"&gt;petit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FbrSp623_fk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3816776206392685303?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3816776206392685303/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/about-you-petit.html#comment-form' title='2 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3816776206392685303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3816776206392685303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/about-you-petit.html' title='About You - petit'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/FbrSp623_fk/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-8765971076703384311</id><published>2011-09-28T09:11:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-28T09:11:00.151+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='riu ebre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='8 miles high'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1960s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the byrds'/><title type='text'>Birds or Byrds</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BuMgF-TlG9Y/ToJKSL6WyJI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/mHgS0ZY_Wgg/s1600/dma2011_rietvell.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657165758226417810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 458px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 418px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BuMgF-TlG9Y/ToJKSL6WyJI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/mHgS0ZY_Wgg/s400/dma2011_rietvell.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Aquest cap de setmana es celebra el Dia Mundial de les Aus.

The Faces</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Amb les presses d'acabar, ahir no vaig acabar de dir tot el que se m'havia vingut al cap amb el concert dels &lt;strong&gt;Sopa de Cabra&lt;/strong&gt;. Evidentment aquests dies s'ha parlat molt a la premsa i a la radio i veig que tothom els compara amb els &lt;strong&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/strong&gt;, pero jo no acabo de veure les coincidencies. Com tothom, crec que els Sopa tenen dos èpoques bones, i la segona (Nou, Plou i fa Sol) em sonen com a molt a &lt;strong&gt;Bruce Springsteen&lt;/strong&gt;, aixo si, Bruce també de la ultima epoca, la dels anthems de pop. Potser també es podria comparar amb els himnes dels &lt;strong&gt;U2&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La primera època, la que m'agrada més, sempre he pensat que sonaven més al que diem en anglès "pub rock", exemples clars del qual seria &lt;strong&gt;Nick Lowe o The Faces&lt;/strong&gt;. I el concert també m'ho semblava, que aquest estil és el que els és més comode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I qui eren The Faces?

Un concert molt esperat, però amb un sabor agri-dolç per alguna gent per la forma en que s’havia venut. &lt;em&gt;Mira, tornem per a fer un últim concert. Pos, no, farem un altre i un altre. I anirem a Tarragona i Mallorca i Gerona&lt;/em&gt;. La gent que va pagar el doble per una entrada pel primer perquè pensaven que només n’hi hauria un, o la gent que va volar de Mallorca a Barcelona quan podrien haver-ho vist a casa ... en fi, tornem al concert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No sóc cap expert en fer critiques musicals, però algunes reflexions sense ordre ni desordre si que puc deixar.&lt;br /&gt;Primer, aquest grup son musicalment molt bons! A banda dels habituals membres tenien el guitarrista dels &lt;strong&gt;Very Pomelo&lt;/strong&gt; per substituir el membre original, “&lt;strong&gt;Ninyin&lt;/strong&gt;”, que va morir al 2002. I quina guitarrista! Bonissim!&lt;br /&gt;Van tocar tots els temes esperats, des dels més rockeros del principis, fins els pop del final. Evidentment, les cançons de l’època del mig, i les en castellà, pos, no sonaven. De fet només van tocar un troç de “&lt;em&gt;El sexo&lt;/em&gt;”, la més coneguda en castellà, dins un medley amb &lt;em&gt;Blujins Rock&lt;/em&gt;, quan la gent ja anava tan llançada que ningú va tenir temps de xiular-los. Encara que crec que en aquest concert, no els hauria xiulat ningú fessin el que fessin. Res fora del guió, i en un dels “&lt;em&gt;encores&lt;/em&gt;” van tocar&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rock n Roll&lt;/em&gt; dels &lt;strong&gt;Led Zeppelin&lt;/strong&gt; però, no sé si per l’edat de la gent o un desconeixement de la peça, no va rebre gaire entusiasme quan, per mi, era la millor de la nit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un gran plus per mi, la puntualitat. Van començar amb només 8 minuts de retard. No entenc com no poden començar a l’hora exacte, però no ens podem queixar, 8 minuts és tot un èxit per un acte així aquí. El concert de U2, però, a Sheffield al 2010 no va començar al minut que tocava, sinó al segon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Més coses; Quintana ja podria tallar-se els cabells, que tots tenim un edat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Després de sentir el concert i unes setmanes xupant-me tots els LPs, la conclusió en general que tinc d'aquest grup és que; les lletres de les primeres cançons eren més originals i bones (Boig de la ciutat, carrer dels torrats...). Les cançons dels ùltims LPs havien guanyat molt en musica i producció però les lletres ja són les típiques inutiles, per a mi!, tipus “&lt;em&gt;si tu vens, jo em quedo; no tornaré si tu no vens; si busques, ho trobaras; les estrelles brillen, però la nit és fosca; ella va entrar per la porta i l’amor va sortir per la ximenea&lt;/em&gt;”.... Zzzzz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Més aspectes no estrictament musical: és ben coneguda que Quintana, i suposo el grup, no són dels més radicals en el tema català. Son més del rotllo "&lt;em&gt;tots som iguals, amor i pau&lt;/em&gt; ...". Al concert, suposo que veient que el seu mercat és Catalunya després dels entrebancs que han sofert, ho va intentar arreglar – a mitges. No va quedar gens clar el que pensa ara, cosa que no està mal per un missatge polític! En un moment es va enrotllar explicant l’evolució dels seus pensaments però no vaig entendre fins a on ha arribat, o de que parlava realment! De fet, un parell de cops que la gent va començar a cridar &lt;em&gt;Independencia&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;pos&lt;/em&gt;, des del escenari no van fer cap intenció de seguir el joc, i van arrancar en la propera cançó. També em vaig fixar que un cert tipus de gent vestit amb l’uniforme de “pijos de Barcelona” tampoc es van aixecar per cridar-ho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot s’ha de dir, la gent no demanava &lt;em&gt;In-Inde-Independencia&lt;/em&gt;, sinò &lt;em&gt;In-Inda-Indapendencia&lt;/em&gt;. Suposo que és el mateix.&lt;br /&gt;Quintana i cia tampoc canten “&lt;em&gt;Mai trobaras&lt;/em&gt;” sinó una cançó pareguda, “&lt;em&gt;Mai trubaras&lt;/em&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dins del recinte hi ha uns homes que porten barrils de cervesa a l’esquena i un tub amb aixeta i van omplint gots per a vendre a la gent que no vol marxar del concert per anar al bar. Tot un invent!! Jo vull un! A Tortosa això encara no ha arribat aquesta meravella.&lt;br /&gt;La pega és que, encara que evidentment son els venedors oficials, autoritzats pel Palau (un palau amb nom ben català), en un concert (de musica catalana) al capital de Catalunya ... pos, al cartell que tenien, diu només “Drinks – Bebidas” – dos llengues en perill d’extinció!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fi, ja que no som adolescents, quan anem als concerts ens fixem en més coses i no ens emborratxem com abans, però el resumen seria un aprovat notable :)&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last week we went to a concert of the Catalan group, Sopa de Cabra.

Llegint al &lt;a href="http://ebre.net/bloc/"&gt;seu bloc &lt;/a&gt;podem saber més sobre els fets generals, però avui s’ha proposat que els blocaires fessem algun apunt personal sobre aquell dia. Que recordem?&lt;br /&gt;Diferents sensacions. Cansament. Abans de la mani, natros havíem estat 2 setmanes amb la Marxa Blava, des de Lyon fins Brussel•les. La Marxa va ser tota una experiència, molts d’amistats nous, molts activitats a favor dels rius, i molta marxa i poc descans. I poc menjar. Com que el més fàcil en aquests casos per la gent que ens rebia era fer un menjar ùnic, jo sent vegetaria, pos, bàsicament van ser 15 dies de pa i formatge! L’ambient en la Marxa era increïble, només superat pel dia de la mani. Vam arribar a Brussel•les el dia 8, com molta gent que venia expressament pel dia 9. Aquella nit a Brussel•les se sentia molt de català pels carrers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Del dia 9, l’emoció va ser brutal quan vam arribar al punt de trobada i ens vam adonar de quanta gent realment erem – uns 15.000 diuen! Penseu-ho bé, 15.000 persones vingudes expressament des d’aquestes terres (perquè dubto que molta gent de Brussel•les va sortir al carrer). I la pluja, no es pot parlar d’aquell dia sense nombrar la pluja i el fred que vam passar. A la tarda vam quedar en uns amics que havien vingut a la mani també i el dia 10 la gent que encara hi erem, ens vam concentrar al Parlament Europeu. Ahir vam esperar, cantant, fins que van sortir els representants de la PDE que havien entrat a dins per entregar les nostres peticions. Suposo que va ser l’ultima vegada que es va deixar apropar la gent tan a prop del Parlament, ja que el dia desprès va ser el 11 setembre 2001. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natros vam quedar un altre dia a Brussel•les i vam volar cap a Londres el dia 11. Allí ens vam trobar amb un aeroport ple de policies amb metralladors però no vam saber res del que havia passat a NY fins que vam entrar un pub a l’estació de Sant Pancras i vam vore les noticies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que més? Que vam fer la marxa de país en país sense tenir Euros, per tant anavem canviant de monedes. No teníem telèfon mòbil, per tant un munt de monedes a les cabines. Vaig descobrir que els belgues també es tornen bojos pels pataques fregides. Que Brussel•les sembla bonic però no estavem pel labor del turisme. Que si la gent s’ho proposa, es poden aconseguir moltes coses – no cal caure en l’apatisme i cinisme que provoquen molts de politics.&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;10 years ago today 15,000 people, mainly from Catalunya and Aragon, marched through Brussels in defence of the river Ebro. The PDE (Ebro Defence campaign movement) had spent months organizing this act. In August a march set off from the Ebro Delta which would arrive in Brussels on the 8th September. The first days there were literally thousands of participants walking alongside the river upstream towards the Pyrenees. Obviously the stages in France, Germany, Holland had less walkers but we received a warm welcome wherever we went, meeting up with other social and environmental groups along the way. Then 15,000 people came on the 9th especially for the huge demonstration planned. Think about that for a moment. 15,000 people travelling from hundreds of miles away “just” to demonstrate on the streets of the European capital! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? The Spanish government was planning a dam building scheme and huge water transfer to the south of Spain for speculative tourism, building and leisure interests. This would have bled the Ebro dry, and left the Delta – one of the most important natural areas in Spain – in a precarious situation. We believed these plans contravened European Directives and as such should not receive a green light nor the 8,000 million euros funding the government had requested. The huge social movement backed our technical explanations and gave us the support to make the European Commission take our demands seriously. It would take another 4 years of intense lobbying, and a brutal “battle” with the Spanish government played out in the corridors of Brussels, but eventually in 2004 the Commission came down on our side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-4293075047100409024?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4293075047100409024/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/brusselles-9-de-setembre-2001.html#comment-form' title='2 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4293075047100409024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4293075047100409024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/brusselles-9-de-setembre-2001.html' title='Brussel·les, 9 de setembre 2001.'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r8GYGEDn8R0/TmfTBBdJupI/AAAAAAAAA84/14LfCiPad8c/s72-c/brussels%2Bsept01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3514077850857397328</id><published>2011-09-06T09:58:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-06T09:58:00.343+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='travelling wilburys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1990s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jeff lynne'/><title type='text'>Handle with care - Travelling Wilburys</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DQ89HHSq9b8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-3514077850857397328?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3514077850857397328/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/handle-with-care-travelling-wilburys.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3514077850857397328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/3514077850857397328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/09/handle-with-care-travelling-wilburys.html' title='Handle with care - Travelling Wilburys'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/DQ89HHSq9b8/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-7961421736118183634</id><published>2011-09-04T09:46:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-04T09:46:00.059+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elo'/><title type='text'>Alright - ELO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iE-76NekIpg/TjSKM3EiCII/AAAAAAAAA8w/UpsblWIecYc/s1600/elo_zoom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635280987293354114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iE-76NekIpg/TjSKM3EiCII/AAAAAAAAA8w/UpsblWIecYc/s320/elo_zoom.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; L’any 1986 &lt;strong&gt;ELO&lt;/strong&gt; va fer un últim concert a Birmingham per recollir diners per una organització que ajuda als xiquets amb problemes de salut. I jo estava!! Repeteixo, quan semblava que mai més tocarien junts, jo estava en un concert dels ELO!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Desprès es va des-fer el grup i &lt;strong&gt;Jeff Lynne&lt;/strong&gt; començava a treballar amb &lt;strong&gt;George Harrison&lt;/strong&gt; (recordeu la connexió Beatles?!) en diversos projectes com els&lt;strong&gt; Travelling Wilburys&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bev Bevan&lt;/strong&gt; va decidir continuar com a &lt;strong&gt;ELO 2&lt;/strong&gt;, amb nous membres del grup i van gravar un par de LPs durant els 90, però no els he escoltat mai.&lt;br /&gt;A l’any 2001 &lt;strong&gt;Jeff Lynne&lt;/strong&gt; es va ajuntar de nou amb &lt;strong&gt;Richard Tandy&lt;/strong&gt; per gravar un nou LP dels &lt;strong&gt;ELO&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Zoom&lt;/strong&gt;, amb la col·laboració de &lt;strong&gt;George Harrison&lt;/strong&gt;. Amb mort de Harrison, però, aquest nou començament també s’ha entrat en una fase de limbo que no se sap si tindrà continuació o no ...Els singles van ser &lt;strong&gt;Alrigh&lt;/strong&gt;t i &lt;strong&gt;Moment in Paradise&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 1986, against all the odds, ELO decided to play live once more - in the Heartbeat charity concert in Birmingham. And I was there !!!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;After this they disbanded and Jeff went on to work with George Harrison (anyone mention the ELO-Beatles link?), on various projects, including the Travelling Wilburys.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For some reason Bev Bevan got his own band together, called them ELO2 and released a couple of LPs which I've never listened to.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2001, Jeff got back together with Richard Tandy and decided to record a new ELO album, Zoom, with the help of George Harrison.

Alguns diuen és que al &lt;strong&gt;Jeff Lynne&lt;/strong&gt; li va agafar una mena de stage-fright i no podia, però no està clar del tot que aixo fos el cas. Potser estaven ja cansats de tanta fama. Membres del grup, Jeff inclòs, també estaven molt embolicats en altres projectes i el futur del ELO no pintava bé. Però van poder arribar a gravar un últim LP decent, al 1983, &lt;strong&gt;Secret Messages. &lt;/strong&gt;Cançons a destacar,&lt;strong&gt; Four Little Diamonds, Rock ‘n’ Roll is King, Secret Messages.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Soon after &lt;strong&gt;Time&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;ELO&lt;/strong&gt; stopped touring. Some said it was because Jeff Lynne suffered from stage-fright, but I've never seen it clearly explained. Maybe they were just too fed up with fame, too many other things in their minds, and moving on to fresh pastures. Most of the band were collaborating in other musical projects, other bands, soundtracks, production work etc and the future of ELO did not look too bright. They still managed to pull one last decent LP out of the hat, though. 1983's &lt;strong&gt;Secret Messages&lt;/strong&gt; with songs like Four Little Diamonds, Rock ‘n’ Roll is King, Secret Messages.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eDAcbxz0fuQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-8120368127951325927?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/8120368127951325927/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/secret-messages-elo.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8120368127951325927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8120368127951325927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/secret-messages-elo.html' title='Secret Messages - ELO'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C0Kpu60WIqw/TjSGqzkgYuI/AAAAAAAAA8g/wh-L6WxfQ70/s72-c/elo%2Bsecret.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-4495980941726087911</id><published>2011-08-26T09:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-26T09:16:00.252+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yours truly 2095'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elo'/><title type='text'>Yours Truly 2095 - ELO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wfXSxwfPpCI/TjSCt0s0s2I/AAAAAAAAA8Y/bm3suQXwH8o/s1600/ELO-Time.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635272757499704162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wfXSxwfPpCI/TjSCt0s0s2I/AAAAAAAAA8Y/bm3suQXwH8o/s320/ELO-Time.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A l’any 1981 arriba el primer LP d’ells que vaig comprar. &lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/03/twilight-elo.html"&gt;De fet un dels primers LPs de qualsevol grup que vaig comprar&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Time.&lt;/strong&gt; Sonaven menys les cordes i entraven timidament en l’electronica. La gran pregunta és com el Jeff Lynne va poder, o ha pogut, dominar l'arte de la musica pop, passant per les cordes de l'orquestra, el rock, l'electronica, peces elaborades de 10 minuts, joies de 3 minuts, tocant qualsevol instrument i produient els discos ...? Quin geni!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aquest LP potser no va tenir l’èxit dels anteriors, ja que els temps havien canviat, i la joventut estavem per altres coses, però m’encanta. &lt;strong&gt;Ticket to the Moon, 21st Century Man, Twilight ....&lt;/strong&gt;ja han estat al bloc, ja que aquest LP evidentment em porta bons records. Pos, una altra peça&lt;strong&gt;: Yours Truly 2095&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;By 1981 I was earning enough from the paper round to actually buy records, and this &lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/03/twilight-elo.html"&gt;was one of the first&lt;/a&gt;. Maybe there are less strings on it, and maybe they were moving into electronic instruments to try and keep up with other groups, but it's still a classic - for me! Jeff Lynne showed once more he could do anything he put himself to - a 10 minute orchestral arrangement, no problem. A 3-minute pop hit. Rock, disco, electronics ... producer ... multi-instrumentalist ... a genius!

A mi personalment potser el que menys m’agrada (els meus preferits són de la primera època, els 3-4-5 que després vendrien junts en un boxed set, Three Light Years). Però hi ha cançons molt bones, &lt;em&gt;Confusion, Last Train To London, o &lt;strong&gt;The Diary of Horace Wimp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (oi que sona com els Beatles?!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ELO's 1979 album, Discovery, took onboard disco music. Personally it's not my favourite - I prefer the first 5 - but it does include some classic pop songs like Confusion, Last Train to London, or The Diary of Horace Wimp (anybody mention the Beatles ...?)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PFU9HYyMVxQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-7761347394372647288?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/7761347394372647288/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/diary-of-horace-wimp-elo.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/7761347394372647288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/7761347394372647288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/diary-of-horace-wimp-elo.html' title='The Diary of Horace Wimp - ELO'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GJbl-WqbJIo/TjSAJac4LjI/AAAAAAAAA8I/Y2308UR6R4U/s72-c/elo-discovery-1979.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3238130535031038617</id><published>2011-08-17T09:54:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-17T09:54:00.205+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1970s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sweet talkin&apos; woman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mr blue sky'/><title type='text'>Mr Blue Sky - Sweet Talkin' Woman - ELO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9m5-DoN_a5U/TjCXSgaY8yI/AAAAAAAAA74/cY8j2a4ibHA/s1600/ELO-Out_of_the_Blue_Lp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634169478034551586" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 208px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9m5-DoN_a5U/TjCXSgaY8yI/AAAAAAAAA74/cY8j2a4ibHA/s320/ELO-Out_of_the_Blue_Lp.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Com tots els grups, arriba un moment del “no va més”, i als &lt;strong&gt;ELO&lt;/strong&gt; els arribaria amb &lt;strong&gt;Out Of The Blue&lt;/strong&gt;, any 1977, un LP doble, amb concerts massius plens d’efectes especials i excessius ... justament en plena època punk on el ELO ja es distanciarien dels “entesos” en música. Com els ABBA, fer música pop massa perfecte no estava ben vist pels experts – però si pels consumidors!&lt;br /&gt;Qui no té &lt;strong&gt;Out Of The Blue&lt;/strong&gt; a casa? Bé, si hi ha algú que no ho té, pos, avui dos cançons: &lt;strong&gt;Mr Blue Sky&lt;/strong&gt; (of course!) i Sweet Talkin’ Woman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As with all groups, the bigger you get, the bigger you want to be. In 1977, &lt;strong&gt;ELO&lt;/strong&gt; ignored punk and young people, to stick with perfect pop classics, on a double album and huge expensive concerts with loads of special effects. The result - even more success! Just like ABBA, maybe music critics didn't like it, but the paying public just lapped it up!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who does not have this LP at home?!

No sóc tan vell d’haver conegut els &lt;strong&gt;ELO &lt;/strong&gt;en el seu millor moment. Durant els 70, els anava sentint a la radio com tothom, però no va ser fins el 79 que algú em va deixar un LP sencer per escoltar. Directament cap a la biblioteca per treure tots els discs que podia i gravar-los! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;L’any següent un oncle em comenta que un amic del poble del costat tenia els primers LPs que encara no havia pogut trobar per gravar (evidentment, comprar no entrava l’equació d’un joven sense recursos). Vaig caminar un hora per arribar a casa d’ells (tot s’ha de dir, som molt caminadors a Yorkshire!), agafar els LPs i gravar-los a casa nostra. La setmana desprès repetia la ruta!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With their third album, On The Third Day, &lt;strong&gt;ELO &lt;/strong&gt;really hit the bigtime, with songs such as &lt;strong&gt;Showdown&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Daybreaker&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My personal relationship with them was the typical obsesssion of a teenager. It was not until the end of the 70s as a 12, 13-year-old when I realised how great this band were. I immediately started rummaging through their previous albums, recording what I could. Even walking an hour to the next town, to an acquaintance's house who'd lend me their first albums to copy. Even back then, you see, we copied music!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/g2jFJ1OWaTo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nvgTV2REhzY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-2126871111906781425?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/2126871111906781425/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/daybreaker-showdown-elo.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2126871111906781425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2126871111906781425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/08/daybreaker-showdown-elo.html' title='Daybreaker - Showdown - ELO'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sLemMxx_LiI/TjCO5IWdByI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/hiZ6neuMyNg/s72-c/elo%2Balbum-on-the-third-day.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3852128279923638413</id><published>2011-08-03T09:31:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-03T09:31:00.364+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mitjons blancs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terratombats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catalonia'/><title type='text'>Mitjons Blancs - Terratombats</title><content type='html'>Interrumpim aquest fascinant serie d'apunts sobre ELO per proposar una altra candidata per cançó de l'estiu :)&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Leaving the ELO series aside for a day, couldn't resist this piece of summer "fun" - fun with a message.

Per descansar una mica i canviar d’aires, farem el mateix com cada any. Per tant, toca el Tercer Anual “&lt;strong&gt;Apunts-MonoTematics-BiSetmanals-Sobre-Un-Dels-Grups-Millors-Mentre-Dura-Aquest-Calor&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;Els estius anteriors ha tocat a &lt;strong&gt;Elvis&lt;/strong&gt; i als &lt;strong&gt;Beatles.&lt;/strong&gt; Potser la opció d’aquest any no estareu tan d’acord en mi si és un dels Més Grans, però doneu-los una oportunitat! A l’any 1971 el grup &lt;strong&gt;The Move&lt;/strong&gt; (Flowers in the rain, Blackberry way), després de diversos canvis, consistia de &lt;strong&gt;Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne i Bev Bevan.&lt;/strong&gt; Aquests tres van decidir buscar nous horizontes i van formar un grup nou, the &lt;strong&gt;Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)&lt;/strong&gt;. Tal com queda clar amb el nom, l’objectiu era barrejar musica rock amb instruments tradicionals d’orquestra – violins, violoncels, baixos, etc. A més a més van dir des del primer dia que volien continuar on s’havien quedat els &lt;strong&gt;Beatles&lt;/strong&gt; – cosa que també es veu, degut a l’experimentació i riscos que feien amb els primers LPs, i l’habilitat de escriure melodies que “enganxen” que aniria sortint amb el pas del temps. El primer LP va ser &lt;em&gt;The Electric Light Orchestra&lt;/em&gt;, any 1971. I potser la peça més emblemàtica i coneguda, el &lt;strong&gt;10538 Overture&lt;/strong&gt; (Lynne).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As usual, to ease our way through a long hot summer, we are going to have a series of posts on one of the greatest singers or groups in the History of Pop Music. Past stars have been Elvis and the Beatles. This year, it's &lt;strong&gt;ELO'&lt;/strong&gt;s turn! Bev Bevan, Roy Wood, and Jeff Lynne decided to turn the group The Move into something different, with a special focus on orchestral instruments and arrangements, in their words carrying on from where The Beatles left off! The first album, Electric Light Orchestra, came out in 1971 with hits such as this, the &lt;strong&gt;10538 Overture&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9LxUKa4kB6o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-133334135627633665?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/133334135627633665/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/10538-overture-elo.html#comment-form' title='1 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/133334135627633665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/133334135627633665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/10538-overture-elo.html' title='10538 Overture - ELO'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1mUmHTwtupg/TjCLtb9lzDI/AAAAAAAAA7I/bgUx-YSPIvw/s72-c/elo1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-6980385937660345110</id><published>2011-07-28T09:04:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T09:04:00.758+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='river ebre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='riu ebre'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good vibrations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1960s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beach boys'/><title type='text'>Good Vibrations per l'Ebre ?

Pos, igual que sempre – fotut! Com que som europees hem de seguir la legislació europea i la directiva en qüestió, la Directiva Marc d’Aigües, explica molt clarament que, per tots els rius s’ha de fer un Pla d’accions i usos, dins d’un cert temps i seguint un cert criteri. Resulta que el Pla per l’Ebre porta més de 2 anys de retard, amb denuncies des de la Comissió Europea inclosa! Fins i tot les ultimes noticies són que portaran el Govern Espanyol als Tribunals de Luxemberg – o sigui, multes a pagar entre tots els contribuyents! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Per que tarden tant? Perquè aquest Pla ha de designar un regim de cabals minims pel riu que poden garantitzar uns minims condicions ecologics –uns minims, no demanem molt!&lt;br /&gt;Pos, no saben com fer quadrar aquest cabal escas però necessari que haurien d’adjudicar, amb el fet que casi tot l’aigua de l’Ebre o està donat o està promes a nous usaris. La Comissió Tecnica de les TTE va calcular un regim de cabals fa 3 anys, i ho vam aprovar entre tots els parts interessats i al Parlament de Catalunya, abans d’enviar-ho al Ministerio. Sembla que el Ministerio ho ha ficat en un calaix i està esperant el moment de treure del barret un numero magic de cabal que acontentarà als usaris i politics, més que un cabal real i cientificament calculat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per no parlar de l’estat del riu – fatal. Quan diuen que està en bon estat, només miren els factors que els va bé, però n’hi ha d’altres que pinten malament. Per no parlar del creixement infinit dels algues, cosa que ens ha portat a la plaga de la mosca negra, i problemes greus pel nuclear de Asco. Al Japò els va fer falta un terretremol i un tsunami, aqui amb un grapat d’algues els podem aturar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estem en crisi. No hi ha diners. Retallem en tot. No es farà el nou hospital a Tortosa, i el que tenim, pos, a tancar plantes o fumar fora a metges i infermeres. Els nous instituts i escoles no es faran. Fora plantilla de professors, retallem la sisena hora. Peroooooooooooo, no se sap com, s’ha trobat diners per continuar amb el “canal” Xerta-Senia. El 25% dels pressuposts de la Generalitat al Baix Ebre són per aquesta obra. Un Canal que ens diuen és per a regar, però no té ni regants ni plans de regadiu, i el govern valencia frota les mans mirant com les obres s’apropen a la seva comunitat. Oi que els regants no poden pagar-ho? Pos, no us amoinesseu, aqui tenim una gent que compraran l’aigua si aneu allargant els tubs .... bla bla bla, l’historia de sempre. L’historia del canal Segarra-Garrigues, que és per regar, però no se sap com, ara fa un transvasament “petit i temporal” a 40 pobles ... i poc a poc, els tubs s’apropen a Barcelona. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Delta sense aigua ni sediments, la riquesa del Mar de l’Ebre a l’aire, un riu que fa pena, i un transvasament de jovens cap als capitals per no tornar mai més.&lt;br /&gt;Bon estiu!&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Before taking a well-earned summer break and reducing my blog activity, a quick review of the state of the river Ebro, one of my keen protest activities. According to the European Comission, Spain is now over two years behind schedule with its publication of the Ebro River Plan, and will be taken to EU Courts – i.e. fines to be paid by tax-payers for governmental incompetence, yipee! Why the delay? Because EU legislation is trying to protect the fragile state of European rivers and has said that as part of this plan, each river must have a “minimum flow” calculated and adjudicated which is to guarantee a minimum ecological state. Technicians and scientists have calculated this figure for the Ebro but the government has put it to one side as it doesn’t add up with all the water they wish to allocate for irrigation, industry, tourisim, golf, etc. It seems like the govt. are “working” on a new calculation which will, surprise surprise, please everyone except those who worry for the river’s future. A political decision rather than a scientific one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Added to this, the Ebro water quality is in very bad state, stagnant areas being overgrown by algea, leading in turn to the current plague of the very nasty “black fly”. Algae have even been blocking up the water intake on a nuclear power plant up river, causing serious cooling problems! Who needs earthquakes and tsunamis when you have river-weed? Don’t tell Al Qaeda!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the guise of irrigation canals, there are many suspicious public works being carried out which, if history is anything to go by,will eventually lead to long-distance water transfers for touristic projects, bleeding the Ebro dry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Delta is without a decent river flow, or the sediments it needs for its stability. The only resource the lower Ebro lands have is on its last legs, and our youngsters also have to follow the water to the big cities to get jobs, bleeding this area dry of any kind of future. Happy Summer&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JVSyRNtjnpY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-6980385937660345110?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6980385937660345110/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/good-vibrations-per-lebre-de-moment-no.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6980385937660345110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6980385937660345110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/good-vibrations-per-lebre-de-moment-no.html' title='Good Vibrations per l&apos;Ebre ?

Sifons de marques com Carbónicas Cid de Roquetes o Ebro, el sifó higiènic de la Cava, Jesús i Maria i Camarles. Joguines de llauna. Cartilles de cal·ligrafia com les de Rubio, però amb dibuixos i gravats de Tortosa. Imants de nevera amb la forma d’una camiseta antiga del Tortosa o de l’equip del col·legi Sant Josep, o bé d’altres amb productes com anís Ebro, patates Chimo-Chips, sèmola Nomen, fixador Gamundi o pastilles de sabó Jabonera. Capsetes amb forma d’estrella per guardar estrelletes de Migcamí, i retallables de camionets tortosins d’empreses com JABS, olis Panisello, o fins i tot un mític autobús Ebro.Lo Taulell al Carrer, a la Festa del Renaixement de Tortosa, té enguany una parada que rememora alguns dels productes i de les firmes comercials que hi havia a la ciutat durant la postguerra. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Es tracta d’una iniciativa del dissenyador Quimo Panisello, que ha comptat amb la col·laboració de la botiga de pintures JABS, al carrer Pintor Gimeno. Panisello ha explicat que la seua professió i el seu gust per l’estètica retro l’han portat a dissenyar i reproduir alguns dels articles i productes dels anys quaranta i cinquanta del segle XX, en forma de joguines o de souvenirs. De moment, els articles que estan tenint més acceptació són les llibretes de cal·ligrafia. Hi ha sis models diferents, amb dibuixos del riu Ebre, el barri de Ferreries, la Tortosa antiga amb el riu, la plaça de l’Àngel, lo Carrilet, i l’hostal de Don Ramon. La paradeta de pintures JABS amb Quimo Panisello es trobarà instal·lada, durant aquests dies de Festa del Renaixement, a la plaça Agustí Querol, a sota dels porxos de Baratijas, un altre dels negocis tortosins més tradicionals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-5184980522364297880?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/5184980522364297880/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/el-tortosa-del-segle-20.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/5184980522364297880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/5184980522364297880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/el-tortosa-del-segle-20.html' title='El Tortosa del segle 20.'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3460767819007675431</id><published>2011-07-23T08:53:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-23T08:53:00.255+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anyway you want it'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tortosa'/><title type='text'>Anyway you want it - Journey</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A Tortosa estem de festa i, malgrat algun polemica, pensem passar-ho bé.

Els podeu llegir al seu bloc (cada dia hi ha més), i podeu participar escrivint un. Tal com diu Francesc, poesia contra fascisme!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Si hi ha algu que em ve al cap quan sento aquesta frase, és &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/woody%20guthrie"&gt;Woody Guthrie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Aqui tenim una poesia que &lt;strong&gt;Bob Dylan&lt;/strong&gt; va escriure al seu honor, &lt;strong&gt;Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As I've said &lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/monument"&gt;many a time on the blog&lt;/a&gt;, Tortosa stands out in Catalunya as having the largest monument dedicated to Franco still standing - 36 years after his death!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The author and poet &lt;a href="http://1en2.blogspot.com/2011/07/convit-estiuenc-de-2011.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Francesc Mompo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;is encouraging bloggers to write haikus on this subject, and so far has had a good response as can be seen on his blog. As he says, poetry against fascism! Doesn't that bring &lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/woody%20guthrie"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Woody Guthrie&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;to mind? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here's &lt;strong&gt;Bob Dylan's&lt;/strong&gt;

Segons &lt;strong&gt;Antonia Font&lt;/strong&gt;, les coses modernes han hagut d'esperar molt per a apareixer en escena ... i resulta que quan han arribat, tampoc es poden quedar! Quina vida han tingut els cassettes - 40 anys? I els discs de vinil, i els cassettes de video? Aixo els VHS, que jo tenia els videos Philips 2000 que potser van "viure" només 2 anys!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I ara que fem?

What is the 40-year life cassettes have had compared to the thousands of years of evolution, or millions since the Big Bang?!

Després de l'escandol del &lt;em&gt;News of the World&lt;/em&gt;, amb una bona barreja de policia i politics, ens recorda que hi ha un altre diari, també de la casa &lt;em&gt;Rupert Murdoch&lt;/em&gt;, que només es dedicar a repartir merda. &lt;strong&gt;The Sun&lt;/strong&gt;. Un dels seus punts més baixos d'aquest diari va ser fa uns 20 o 30 anys, quan el &lt;em&gt;Hillsborough Disaster&lt;/em&gt; - una avalancha de fans de futbol, del Liverpool, va causar la mort de més de 90 persones. El diari &lt;em&gt;The Sun&lt;/em&gt; va publicar a la portada la "noticia" de que els altres fans anaven robant rellotges i cateres als morts, i orinant damunt. Una mentira patetica, que després va mereixer una petita disculpa amagat a la pagina -que-ningu-mira. Des de llavors molta gent de Liverpool (Scousers) no compren aquest diari. Ara &lt;strong&gt;Billy&lt;/strong&gt; pregunta si no tenien/tenen rao, i potser ningu hauria de comprar aquesta basura. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;(la foto demostra l'opinió de Jarvis Cocker - Pulp - del The News of the World)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/billy%20bragg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billy Bragg's&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;contribution to the RupertMurdoch-NewsOfTheWorld-Hacking-CorruptPoliceAndPoliticians "surprising" story. As many say, The Sun should also have been kicked off newsagent's shelves after the lies it printed about the Hillsborough Disaster 20 years ago.

L’ultim LP que van gravar va ser &lt;strong&gt;We Love Life&lt;/strong&gt; , l’any 2003. Desprès van aturar les activitats del grup però no es van des-fer formalment. &lt;strong&gt;Jarvis Cocker&lt;/strong&gt; ha anat fent col·laboracions en diversos músics, i ha fet de disc jockei – crec que fins i tot es poden trobar CDs amb la música seleccionada per ell. Al 2006 gravaria un LP, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2009/11/heavy-weather-jarvis-cocker.html"&gt;Jarvis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, de que ja hem penjat alguna peça en el passat.&lt;br /&gt;Al 2010 van anunciar per sorpresa que tornarien a tocar junts, i des de llavors han anat apareixent en diferents festivals, al maig a Barcelona per exemple, i ara a l’agost estaran a Leeds (Yorkshire)! Continuaran? Tornaran a gravar?&lt;br /&gt;I una ultima cançó pel bloc – una cosa més rebuscada, i molt bonica ... i &lt;a href="http://www.acrylicafternoons.com/rare.html#duck"&gt;l’historia, aqui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, following that short interlude of summer fun and sun, it’s time to say the final word on the &lt;strong&gt;Pulp &lt;/strong&gt;saga. Following their last LP, &lt;strong&gt;We love life&lt;/strong&gt;, in 2003, they sort-of broke up (but not officially) and each went their different way. The lead singer &lt;strong&gt;Jarvis Cocker&lt;/strong&gt; would spend the next few years working as a DJ, collaborating on many other musical projects, and bringing out his own LP &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2009/11/heavy-weather-jarvis-cocker.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jarvis&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;Then, surprise surprise, in 2010 they announced a series of concerts, mainly one-offs and festivals – for example, Barcelona back in May, and Leeds next month.&lt;br /&gt;Will they stay together? A new LP?&lt;br /&gt;And to finish off, a real rarity, a piece of beauty based on a &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.acrylicafternoons.com/rare.html#duck"&gt;&lt;em&gt;short story by written Philippa Pearce &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;in 1964.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R90bM5A7yUQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-1455150815333941805?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/1455150815333941805/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/duck-diving-pulp.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1455150815333941805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1455150815333941805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/duck-diving-pulp.html' title='Duck Diving - Pulp'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RYLcRHNAsew/ThzCpVsyyxI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/5ZIiGyNL3MY/s72-c/peel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3499405434122433440</id><published>2011-07-12T08:36:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-12T08:36:01.595+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bob lind'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elusive butterfly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='compilation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1960s'/><title type='text'>Summer compilation i Elusive Butterfly</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ahir vaig penjar un enllaç a &lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=401ZYXUF"&gt;la nostra petita recopilació de música per passar un bon estiu&lt;/a&gt;.

Si que és interessant escoltar tot un LP d’un mateix autor de principi a fi; però, per una bona festa, o per ficar al cotxe, no hi ha res com una &lt;em&gt;home-made compilation&lt;/em&gt;. L’estiu és un moment típic per preparar-les ja que potser tenim una mica més de temps, i ganes de posar música estiuenca al cotxe! Així que, per acabar el rotllo, hem fet el mateix que cada any – un summer music CD. Bé, fins aquí lo normal ...&lt;br /&gt;La novetat d’aquest any és que un company blocaire de &lt;strong&gt;La Voz Telúrica &lt;/strong&gt;ens ha explicat com penjar-la a la xarxa, i ens ha animat a fer-la, tal com es fa sovint en aquest bloc. (&lt;a href="http://lavoztelurica.blogspot.com/2011/07/disco-vvaa-verano-telurico-canciones.html"&gt;clikeja aquí&lt;/a&gt; per la seva selecció).&lt;br /&gt;Toquem fusta, i funcionarà. Pel que veiem de les proves, el enllaç porta a la pagina de Megaupload i si esperes el temps (30 segons) que va contant a la pantalla, pots descarregar-ho gratis (“&lt;em&gt;normal&lt;/em&gt;”). Que hi ha hagi sort, i esperem que a algú li pugui agradar ...&lt;br /&gt;El enllaç del &lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=401ZYXUF"&gt;Tannu Tuva Estiu 2011 LP és aquí.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I com es diuen les cançons? Una sorpresa .... fins demà! Demà penjarem la llista.&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Friend and fellow blogger &lt;a href="http://lavoztelurica.blogspot.com/2011/07/disco-vvaa-verano-telurico-canciones.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La Voz Telúrica&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;has shown us how to, and encouraged us to, upload our home-chosen summer-listening CD selection. I presume everyone does this, don’t they? Back in the 80s on cassette, now on CD, soon on MP3s, we all like to make up our own party mixes!&lt;br /&gt;So ours is here, at this page. Just wait the 30 seconds countdown you see on the right of the screen for a free (“normal” as opposed to “premium”) download, and enjoy it! Track-listing tomorrow to add an element of surprise! &lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=401ZYXUF"&gt;Click here then for the download&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;A little taster ....&lt;/em&gt; alguna pista&lt;em&gt; ...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-z8RCfnWPOo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-1611550170546287622?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/1611550170546287622/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/tannu-tuva-summer-selection.html#comment-form' title='5 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1611550170546287622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1611550170546287622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/tannu-tuva-summer-selection.html' title='Tannu Tuva Summer Selection'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CpkuW8RfUsE/ThoMqfduDaI/AAAAAAAAA6I/6fWiwH_twF8/s72-c/tuvacvoatofarms.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-4071692436337012632</id><published>2011-07-10T09:07:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-10T09:07:00.738+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pulp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the trees'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the birds in your garden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><title type='text'>We love life - Pulp</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-dDoDVOdGA/ThOLR0Xi50I/AAAAAAAAA5g/wNwMyUdwsxE/s1600/pulp_-_we_love_life.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625993497747318594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 253px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-dDoDVOdGA/ThOLR0Xi50I/AAAAAAAAA5g/wNwMyUdwsxE/s320/pulp_-_we_love_life.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; El grup &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; continuaria tenint problemes, i canvis en la formació, però l’any 2003 van editar una altra obra d’art, el LP &lt;strong&gt;We Love Life&lt;/strong&gt; (amb un notable producció de &lt;strong&gt;Scott Walker&lt;/strong&gt;). Dos cançons – &lt;strong&gt;The Birds in Your Garden&lt;/strong&gt;, i &lt;strong&gt;The Trees&lt;/strong&gt;, donen un bon idea com ja estaven sortint del pou dels “&lt;em&gt;bad vibes&lt;/em&gt;”!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; continued to have their ups and downs, with more changes in the line-up, and indecision about where to go next. Eventually they brought out &lt;strong&gt;We Love Life&lt;/strong&gt; in 2003 with an unmistakeable Scott Walker production. Song titles like &lt;strong&gt;The Trees&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;The Birds in Your Garden&lt;/strong&gt; seemed to show that they’d finally learned to live with their fame and overcome the “bad vibes”!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GGyjy_bhcl0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zvkiAw0ZIw4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-4071692436337012632?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4071692436337012632/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/we-love-life-pulp.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4071692436337012632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4071692436337012632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/we-love-life-pulp.html' title='We love life - Pulp'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y-dDoDVOdGA/ThOLR0Xi50I/AAAAAAAAA5g/wNwMyUdwsxE/s72-c/pulp_-_we_love_life.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-2551804493145249136</id><published>2011-07-09T09:55:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T09:55:00.382+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='help the aged'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pulp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1990s'/><title type='text'>Help the aged - Pulp</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vK0dL3bGcjM/ThOIaKmM6PI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/adi2jFpAD8g/s1600/hardcore.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625990342618441970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 302px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vK0dL3bGcjM/ThOIaKmM6PI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/adi2jFpAD8g/s320/hardcore.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Els anys 1995-6 &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; ja estaven dalt de tot, just on havien volgut estar, i vivint la vida del rockstar. Guanyant premis, declaracions controversials, la famosa protesta contra Michael Jackson (pels “rumors” sobre relacions amb infants), drogues, relacions trencades – tot plegat, the best of times, o no ... un dels components importants del grup va marxar dient que ja no li inspirava continuar en el grup, i el lider &lt;strong&gt;Jarvis Cocker&lt;/strong&gt; es va quedar molt marcat pel costat fosc de la fama – dies i dies avorrits de l’èxit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;El proxim LP ho mostraria amb unes cançóns que ja no eren fresques i plenes de alegria (encara que a vegades abans l’alegria amagava algo...), però densos i negatius. Igualment molt bons, però, pels fans com natros! Sortiria el LP &lt;strong&gt;This Is Hardcore&lt;/strong&gt; al 1998. Un dels singles, &lt;strong&gt;Help The Aged&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; had hit the top by now, and lived the rock-star life to the full – controversy, drugs, relationship break-ups, people leaving the group, the famous “Michael Jackson” protest ... but soon &lt;strong&gt;Jarvis&lt;/strong&gt;, the group’s leader, would realise that this longed for success and fame had a dark side. A dark side he’d explore in their next album, 1998’s &lt;strong&gt;This Is Hardcore&lt;/strong&gt;. Today, one of the singles, &lt;strong&gt;Help The Aged&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_bZjKC0EaY0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-2551804493145249136?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/2551804493145249136/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/help-aged-pulp.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2551804493145249136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2551804493145249136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/help-aged-pulp.html' title='Help the aged - Pulp'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vK0dL3bGcjM/ThOIaKmM6PI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/adi2jFpAD8g/s72-c/hardcore.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-1317688410875620686</id><published>2011-07-08T08:39:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-08T08:39:00.677+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pulp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1990s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disco 2000'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='i spy'/><title type='text'>Different Class - Pulp</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E4iDuCfqOFY/ThOEuJpyEKI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/3jcw0mO9UU8/s1600/differentclass.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625986287915896994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E4iDuCfqOFY/ThOEuJpyEKI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/3jcw0mO9UU8/s320/differentclass.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Després de l’increible LP &lt;strong&gt;His ‘n’ Hers&lt;/strong&gt;, arribaria el igualment bo &lt;strong&gt;Different Class&lt;/strong&gt; l’any 1995. Trobarem peces classiques com &lt;strong&gt;Mis-shapes, Underwear, Common People, I Spy, Disco 2000, Something Changed, Live Bed Show&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Per què van calar tan a fons en el panorama musical de la gent? La música és molt bona, una bona barreja d’estils, electronic, però sense perdre el rock o pop, una interessant i original instrumentalització que pocs grups s’atrevien a fer. En fi,&lt;em&gt; catchy&lt;/em&gt;! I &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;la lletra. Normalment sóc dels que penso que el 90% de les lletres de cançons no són res més que un pot-pourri de clitxes fets amb gràcia, però els &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; estan clarament en l’altre 10%. Potser no ens explicaran el sentit de la vida (això deixarem pels Monty Python) però si que ens conten histories cotidianes que han viscut o vist la majoria de anglesos que han vingut de zones com Sheffield – lloc de neixament d’alguns dels millors músics anglesos! Les histories, res nou, però amb una gràcia i un saber-fer que pocs grups arriben a fer ni en somnis. I sobretot en un anglès natural, col·loquial, impossible de traduir. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;De fet, ni les histories són transferibles a altres cultures, ni la llengua, però igualment veig que han tingut èxit a Catalunya – el qual és una nota optimista pels professors d’anglès!&lt;br /&gt;Vinga, dos cançons, Disco 2000, I spy, del &lt;strong&gt;Different Class&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;After the unbelievably good album &lt;strong&gt;His ‘n’ Hers&lt;/strong&gt;, would come the equally excellent LP &lt;strong&gt;Different Class&lt;/strong&gt; in 1995. Songs like &lt;strong&gt;Mis-shapes, Underwear, Common People, I Spy, Disco 2000, Something Changed, Live Bed Show &lt;/strong&gt;have gone down as unforgettable classics in the history of pop music.&lt;br /&gt;So, why are &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; so good and loved? Everyone has their own theory, but my two-penny-worth says it’s a mixture of the music and the lyrics (wow! Original theory!). Musically they are capable of writing many a catchy tune and backing it up with interesting and original instrumentalizations (?!), the likes of which few groups dare to risk. I usually believe that pop music lyrics are nonsense, 90% of them being a string of fair-sounding cliches, but &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; are firmly in the other 10%. Everyday stories which every English music fan can recognise, told with humour and a fine twist of words, and, aboveall , in a natural, colloquial and realistic language.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, judge for yourselves. Two songs, Disco 2000 and I Spy, from &lt;strong&gt;Different Class&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qJS3xnD7Mus" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B5WSNceUgNU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-1317688410875620686?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/1317688410875620686/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/different-class-pulp.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1317688410875620686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/1317688410875620686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/different-class-pulp.html' title='Different Class - Pulp'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E4iDuCfqOFY/ThOEuJpyEKI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/3jcw0mO9UU8/s72-c/differentclass.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-114350097028576017</id><published>2011-07-07T08:46:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T08:46:00.529+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pulp'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1990s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='do you remember the first time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrylic afternoons'/><title type='text'>His 'n' Hers - Pulp</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MzFZwB1u6J0/ThI09VMytUI/AAAAAAAAA5I/UepdAqMPg6o/s1600/220px-Do_You_Remember_the_First_Time_Single.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625617112806634818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MzFZwB1u6J0/ThI09VMytUI/AAAAAAAAA5I/UepdAqMPg6o/s320/220px-Do_You_Remember_the_First_Time_Single.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; De bó en millor, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/pulp"&gt;Pulp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; seguiria al 1994 amb el LP &lt;strong&gt;His’n’Hers&lt;/strong&gt;, que només té el LP &lt;strong&gt;Different Class&lt;/strong&gt; (també dels Pulp) com a competidor pel &lt;em&gt;Millor LP dels 1990s&lt;/em&gt;.

Del primer vídeo, juny 1994, podem apreciar com en 2 anys van passar de ser un grup underground amb uns seguidors reduits pero entregats, a ser ja un grup de masses – sense compromisos amb la seva música o actitud!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Another fine Pulp single from 1993 (to be got on the Pulp Intro LP). The firts video is from 1994 and shows how they really took off in 2 years. Funny how, you can go from being next-to-nothing to world-famous in a flash, and all this with the same style or music and, aboveall, the same attitude.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4C-vmDRwLto" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6-MHoq9N2co" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-8863943937169138018?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/8863943937169138018/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/razzmatazz-pulp.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8863943937169138018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/8863943937169138018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/07/razzmatazz-pulp.html' title='Razzmatazz - Pulp'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/4C-vmDRwLto/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-5038563590728599049</id><published>2011-07-06T00:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-06T00:44:52.007+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pde'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='riu ebre'/><title type='text'>XI Piraguada en Defensa de l'Ebre</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--rNoe1dvMHc/ThOTuv6EnoI/AAAAAAAAA5o/YcJPQD67Nbc/s1600/XI_piraguada.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626002790859185794" style="DISPLAY: block;

Entremig de tot, he fet un pecat terrible. Resulta que no només el &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; s’han tornat a tocar junts, sinó que han vingut a Barcelona (al maig o juny) i no hem dit res al bloc!!&lt;br /&gt;Que puc dir de nou de &lt;strong&gt;Pulp &lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/pulp"&gt;que no he dit abans&lt;/a&gt;)? No molt, ja que crec que la música parla per si sola. Potser el més interessant de l'historia és que van tardar molts d’anys en arribar al &lt;em&gt;stardom&lt;/em&gt;. Des del 1978 van passar per diferents formacions i anaven refinant el seu estil, mentre aguantaven les típiques frustracions amb les discografies fins als principis dels 90. Els seus discs abans del 93, no són famosos però val la pena per veure l’evolució exponencial que estaven experimentant. Potser la seva música no pegava als 80 però ells sabien, o havien de saber, esperar que el moment arribaria quan per fi, el món estaria preparat, i, pim pam, un grapat de singles dels més bons. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Razzmattazz&lt;/em&gt;, que sentirem demà, havia de ser només un single – recordeu quan els grups feien això?! Desprès ho van ficar en un recopilatori de singles d’aquell època, que es diu &lt;strong&gt;Pulp Intro&lt;/strong&gt;. Aquest LP reunia els 3 singles del 1992-3, &lt;em&gt;Razzmatazz, Babies, i O.U.,&lt;/em&gt; i una obra en tres parts que deien “&lt;strong&gt;Inside Susan: A Story in 3 parts&lt;/strong&gt;”. Una de les parts, ho sentirem avui – &lt;strong&gt;Stacks&lt;/strong&gt;. No hi ha vídeo oficial i jo tampoc sé com fer videos pel Youtube per tant, veurem aquest on bàsicament surten fotos d’aquesta fan de &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; que ha tingut la gràcia de recordar d’aquesta gran cançó.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh My God! &lt;strong&gt;Pulp&lt;/strong&gt; playing together again, and here in Barcelona and not only did I not go to the concert (sin!) but I never got round to having a Pulp week on the bloc. Luckily &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/search/label/pulp"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pulp’s been here before&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; – but anyway, here goes.&lt;br /&gt;Although they started out in the late 70s, after various group changes and a constant evolution of their style, and problems with record companies, it wasn’t until the early 90s that the world woke up to what it was missing! In 92/93 they released a string of fantastic singles, three of which would be included, with B-sides,in a mini-compilation to try and get them noticed. Also on this album &lt;strong&gt;Pulp Intro&lt;/strong&gt;, they amazed us with the three part piece of art called &lt;strong&gt;Inside Susan: A story in 3 parts&lt;/strong&gt;.

Ho reciclaran o acabar omplint un forat a la Ribera de l’Ebre. Tornem a parlar dels bous a les Terres de l’Ebre, oblidant de que ni a la Ribera ni a la Terra Alta se’n fan, ni al capital Tortosa tampoc. Referendum ja! L’indignació va en augment, i només un bon estiu ens ho farà oblidar. Comença a fer massa calor per a protestar, ni que sigui des del teclat. Sembla que hi ha dos móns o dos realitats entre natros i el sistema politic. No s’enten com s’estan atrevint a fer les coses que fan, sobretot en els serveis publics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disparat damunt de disparat, aquest cientific es fa creus amb els continus debats sobre la velocitat. Tots els mitjans plens de enquestes “creus que és una mesura eficaç, tal i qual ...?”. No cal cap enquesta perquè no és cap qüestió d’opinions. Són fets cientifics. Que parlen els experts i que es deixen de tonteries els politics i els tertulians. Si estalviem benzina, ajudem al mediambient, reduim els casos de astma, segur que algu que altre accident menys etc, pos, ja està clar. I si no és aixi, pos, també.&lt;br /&gt;En fi, alguna cosa de música: 2 punts si ja coneixieu aquest grup, &lt;strong&gt;Los Dug Dugs&lt;/strong&gt; (Mexicans, dels 60/70).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Odds and ends from local news. Our printer has died shortly before its 10th birthday. Bulls are once more in the public debate as many local villages have bull-related activities (to call it something printable) in their summer “festes”. Outraged folk continue protesting in and around Catalonia, and our Outrage is growing day by day thanks to the crazy neo-lib ideas of the Catalan government. Are they even living on the same planet as the rest of us mortals?&lt;br /&gt;Spanish government reduced the national speed limit from 120 km/h to 110 a few months back.

Si no sabeu com es fa, aquí hi ha un parell de videos interessants!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hi ha coses que es poden canviar, però, si volem. Per exemple, l'ajuntament de York - ciutat principal de Yorkshire, Anglaterra - ha&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-485811/York-city-Britain-ban-cruel-foie-gras.html"&gt; prohibit la seva venta &lt;/a&gt;a la ciutat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;No cal - si no voleu - arribar al vegeterianisme dels Smiths, però petits canvis com deixar de menjar aquesta crueltat no estaria malament!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I was very pleased to hear a couple of years back that &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-485811/York-city-Britain-ban-cruel-foie-gras.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;York city council had banned &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;the sale of foie gras - and surprised that some people still buy and eat it. Why do I say that? Check out these videos! While it may not be necessary to become a vegetarian as the Smiths propose, small changes in our consumption choices can make a lot of difference to animal suffering.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Zlt1ziyufm4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ojvu7qHWqoM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jpkPWwTJTSw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-6943166925625038672?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6943166925625038672/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/meat-is-murder-smiths.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6943166925625038672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/6943166925625038672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/meat-is-murder-smiths.html' title='Meat is murder - The Smiths'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/Zlt1ziyufm4/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-4720231787042013483</id><published>2011-06-09T09:13:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-09T09:13:00.093+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='staff benda bilili'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2000s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kuluna'/><title type='text'>Kuluna</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ara feia dies que no prestava gaire atenciço al bloc i han passat un munt de coses que podria comentar, i potser comentaré en futurs apunts. Han matat al Bin Laden, el Barça són Champions, el PxC ha entrat a l'ajuntament de Tortosa, hem deixat de menjar cogombres i ens hem tornat a menjar-los, s'està retallant tot el que haviem guanyat en serveis publics, la gent s'ha indignat, s'ha format el Club d'Hoquei Patins a Tortosa, i he descobert un nou grup de músic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Els &lt;strong&gt;Staff Benda Billi&lt;/strong&gt; són un grup que viuen, i tocaven (abans de guanyar una mica de fama), als carrers i als voltants del zoo de Kinshasa al Congo. Tots tenen problemes greus de salut, encara que quan m'els van recomanar a mi ningu m'ho va avisar i ja em van agradar molt. Vull dir que crec que els "pobrets, malalts, i encara aixi saben tocar" no és el motiu per la seva fama, sino que sencillament toquen de meravella.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;El jove amb l'instrument fet per ell amb una llauna i un fil (es diu un &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staff_Benda_Bilili"&gt;Satonge&lt;/a&gt;) només té 18 anys en aquest video. De fet als 13 anys es va apuntar al grup quan li van trobar també vivint al carrer. Ara, el lider diu que a aquest jove la fama li està afectant - "&lt;em&gt;no només ha comprat una tele amb els guanys, sino a més a més un matalas&lt;/em&gt;!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aqui estan al Eurockeennes Festival a França, any 2009 tocant una peça que es diu &lt;strong&gt;Kuluna&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Many things happened since I last wrote seriously, or half-seriously, in this blog but maybe I'll get round to commenting on them in later posts ... I have also just found about this group. &lt;strong&gt;Staff Benda Bilili&lt;/strong&gt;. A group of disabled street musicians from Congo, here they are playing live in a French Rock Festival. I first heard about them, and heard their music, without knowing they had various levels of disability, and so can vouch that their fans are not in it for the sympathy vote, we love them because they simply Rock!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;They say the young guy on the left with his home-made Satonge (tin can and wire) has let fame go to his head. He has actually bought a mattress ...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6Ik2t6_PIeg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-4720231787042013483?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4720231787042013483/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/kuluna.html#comment-form' title='1 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4720231787042013483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/4720231787042013483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/kuluna.html' title='Kuluna'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/6Ik2t6_PIeg/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-2984301200808574928</id><published>2011-06-08T10:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T10:37:47.352+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Conta-contes en anglès, aquest divendres a la Biblioteca</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q0n_UO4Fxk/Te80udbpeVI/AAAAAAAAA4w/YW8_7YX2CEo/s1600/time%2Bfor%2Ba%2Bstory.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615765233133517138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 279px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q0n_UO4Fxk/Te80udbpeVI/AAAAAAAAA4w/YW8_7YX2CEo/s400/time%2Bfor%2Ba%2Bstory.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6303110483819365454-2984301200808574928?l=briancutts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/feeds/2984301200808574928/comments/default' title='Comentaris del missatge'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/conta-contes-en-angles-aquest-divendres.html#comment-form' title='0 comentaris'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2984301200808574928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6303110483819365454/posts/default/2984301200808574928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/06/conta-contes-en-angles-aquest-divendres.html' title='Conta-contes en anglès, aquest divendres a la Biblioteca'/><author><name>Brian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B94jffvoKmc/TWWR5FiCkxI/AAAAAAAAAxw/8qwp5BAj-sQ/s220/Alash2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q0n_UO4Fxk/Te80udbpeVI/AAAAAAAAA4w/YW8_7YX2CEo/s72-c/time%2Bfor%2Ba%2Bstory.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303110483819365454.post-3895180364276449945</id><published>2011-06-08T09:40:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T09:40:01.029+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='1980s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='china girl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='david bowie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='silkworms'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catalonia'/><title type='text'>China Girl</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fa uns dies&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/05/caterpillar.html"&gt; vam preguntar sobre aquests bitxos&lt;/a&gt;. Ja tenim el guanyador, un tal Mr. B. Laden, acutalment residint amb una illa petita juntament amb Elvis Presley i Marilyn Monroe on es dediquen a falsificar videos sobre "viatges" de la NASA. En pocs dies, rebrà el seu premi. I que són - pos, si esteu llegint això, no cal explicar-ho, veritat?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Well, a few days back &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://briancutts.blogspot.com/2011/05/caterpillar.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;we asked if anybody&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; outside of Catalunya knew what these creatures were. Todays photos show them at a later phase, having spent a few weeks gouging on our mulberry tree leaves, they eventually weave themselves a nice cocoon - made with silk! Hence the name, silkworms. It is a very common hobby here in Catalonia where kids then keep the eggs till next year to start again and everyone has a mulberry tree in their garden.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyway the winner of the competition who was the first person to get their postcard to me is a certain Mr. B. Laden, with a rather vague residential address on a remote island in the Pacific. According to Wikipedia, who knows everything, he lives there with Elvis Presley making videos for the NASA.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anyway, silk comes from China as every schoolkid should know - and so do China Girls ....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R8V8IsVpmFA/Te4qp8amj2I/AAAAAAAAA4g/nR6ywNbiGuE/s1600/DSCF4946.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615472685458296674" style="DISPLAY: block;
