Jesvs Cristvs

A few explanations.

2009-10-30T14:02:00.003-03:00

People still haven't stopped asking me the same questions all the time.

"Why did you stop writing the blog?"
"Why did you let Jesvs Cristvs die?"
"How could you let Jesvs die when It was on the height of Its maturity and originality?"

Those are all difficult questions and it still hurts a lot for me to talk about this subject. There hasn't been a single day in which I could sleep without having my head tormented with those very questions.

It has been 20 days since I made the last post on this very blog. And since this day I didn't have a single night of sleep. I feel like I am dying inside. And I think it's time for you people to know the truth.

As everyone knows, this blog was originally conceived back in 1986 in Okene, Nigeria, by two missionary priests, Father Leylo and Father Alfred.

Father Leylo in Okene, 2005

20 days ago, 10/10/09, three masked man declaring to be islamic fundamentalists entered in our chapel, 20km north from Okene, and shot five persons, including Father Leylo.

Everyone died instantly except, as a miracle, our beloved Priest. But his condition keeps getting worse and worse. Unfortunately our funds are diminishing and we have no way to pay for the expensive treatment our priest Leylo needs.

If anyone wants to collaborate in anyway for Father Leylo, we accept every kind of donation. We are located at Okene Highway A1, number 332, Okene, Nigeria.

If your country doesn't have diplomatic relations with Nigeria (that would be the case for the USA, England and Germany, for example), send a postcard with best wishes for our father to the address:

Street: Rua Ceará
Number: 2476
District: Bairro Marquês
Zipcode: CEP: 64003-400

May God be with you.

[Cover and Tribvtes XI] Ian Dury Tribute - Brand New Boots and Panties

2009-10-10T09:38:00.004-03:00

After Ian Dury's death in 2000, some artists and musicians gathered themselves up to record a tribute album to the fallen one. The album name mocks that of Ian Dury's classic 1977 record: "New Boots and Panties!!!".

Among the people who appeared to record this tribute are Sinead O'connor, the british guys from Madness, the beautiful Shane MacGowan and, to the surprise of everyone: Sir Paul McCartney!

How the hell did the ex-beatle happen to be here, I'm not sure, but his version of "Partial to your Abracadabra" is probably the best thing he has ever done since 1973.

On an unrelated note, this is the 100th post of the blog. And today is 10/10. And this album has 10 songs. And right now is, according to my watch: 10:00am. That means something, right? Any Inca prophecies?

[Covers and Tribvtes X] Jesvs Cristvs - Respect

2009-10-09T20:23:00.004-03:00

Respect was permanently written in the hall-of-fame of music in 1967 when Aretha Franklin recorded her wonderful version of the song. Originally it was written and recorded by Ottis Redding in 1965(you can check this version on the download file), and it's a pretty good version, but Aretha's one is just an untouchable classic gem.

Anyway, there are some other pretty interesting covers of "Respect" here. There's garagerock, disco(there's always some disco, isn't it?), an epic rendition by the eighties band Dexy's Midnight Runners and even a version sung in the BASQUE idiom (euskara) called Errespetua. It doesn't make much sense, I know, but it's goddarn interesting.

[Covers and Tribvtes VI] - "96 tears"

2009-10-07T11:01:00.002-03:00

Too many teardrops... for one heart... to be cryin'...
Too many teardrops... for one heart... to carry on...

96 tears is a classic garage-rock song from 1966. The original version is by "? & The Mysterians" (yes, the name of the leadsinger is ?). On the video above you can check they performing it in 1998.

They keyboard riff is one of the most catchy ever so it's no surprise the song was extensively covered by a whole lot of different bands. From the famous Strangles punky cover to Aretha Franklin's soul version.

My favourite version is the hardrock/bluesy version by a band called Gerardo Manuel & El Humo. I had never heard of this guy before but they knock it off pretty well in an anthemic way.

So, here they are, fifteen versions of ninety six tears.

1. Question Mark And The Mysterians - 96 Tears (2:56)
2. Cramps - 96 Tears (2:18)

[Covers and Tribvtes V] Ramones - Acid Eaters

2009-10-06T19:15:00.003-03:00

The Ramones released one of their most unusual albums in 1993. They combined their fast, driving, punk sound to twelve classic rock songs from the 1960s. The band had always had an affection for the raw energy of early rock songs, even hiring the legendary Phil Spector to produce their 1980 album "End of the Century." Seventeen years after their first album, the band released an album containing nothing but covers of 1960s songs, giving it an appropriately wild title: "Acid Eaters."

[Covers and Tribvtes III] Bryan Ferry - Dylanesque (2007)

Great news, everyone!
Noel Gallagher, from Oasis, was kind enough to send us a quick message. Noel has been a follower of the site since its beginning back in 1997. Noel and Liam always kept close contact with the website. In 2002, Jesvs Cristvs was the first website to broadcast their hit single "The Hindu Times", even before mTV.com.

Noel's message:

Thanks a lot, mate!

On an unrelated note, this is Bryan Ferry's (ex lead-singer from Roxy Music) album from 2007: Dylanesque. It comprises of eleven covers of Bob Dylan.

Ferry is a pretty talented folk, and these versions are all really interesting. The album sold quite well back then and even scored a Top 10 in the UK and in Sweden(like someone would care about Sweden's top charts).

All tracks composed by Bob Dylan:

"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" – 3:50
"Simple Twist of Fate" – 5:18
"Make You Feel My Love" – 3:22

Tom Zé - Estudando o Samba (1975)

2009-10-04T15:48:00.007-03:00

The weirdest samba album I've ever heard.

Tom Zé is a brilliant brazilian multi-instrumentalist that was influential in the late sixties Tropicália movement but kept recording great albuns in the other decades too.

Even though he's a very talented artist, Tom Zé didn't enjoy much success and lived in relative obscurity throughout the 80's and 90's, until David Byrne, Talking Heads's lead singer, in a visit to Rio de Janeiro, found this album(Estudando o Samba, Studying Samba) in a record shop and instantaneously fell in love.

Byrne then went on to find Tom Zé and offered to produce him and sign him to his american label Luaka Bop from this point on. This is a true story, I swear. I read it in the internet.

Big Daddy - Sgt. Pepper's (1992)

Another Sgt. Pepper tribute album in less than a week, this is how previsible this blog is. Anyway, this won't be a problem since we all love hearing what people do to the Beatles's songs.

Big Daddy used to be a parody band from Los Angelos in the eighties. They were famous for playing well-known classics in 50's style. "When I'm Sixty Four" is now a doo-wop ballad. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is turned into rockabilly. "A Day in The Life" sounds like as if it were made by Buddy Holly. And I love it all.

Squeeze - Cool For Cats (1979)

Two songs are the main reason for me posting this album here: Cool For Cats and Up The Junction. These two songs alone are worth all the trouble downloading the whole record.

Squeeze used to be a nice powerpop new-wavey band from the late seventies and early eighties. Their songs resemble those of XTC, Cheap Trick and other related bands.

But, enough of useless talk, today is saturday and it's already 21:00 o'clock. You're all already leaving to the nearest pub, so, I'll just leave you with these videos, take your conclusions by yourselves.

Tom Tom Club - Tom Tom Club (1981)

2009-10-03T15:26:00.002-03:00

Tom Tom Club was formed in the early eighties by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. You probably already know Tina as the mysterious-pretty-blonde-bass-player from the Talking Heads. Frantz is also a former member of the Talking Heads, although you probably don't remember him.

Tom Tom got really famous with the two big hits: Wordy Rappinghood and Genius Of Love. If you were a youngster in the early eighties, you probably will recall these two tunes.

Oh, boy. Weren't those the best times? Dancing in those good old discothéques until dawn? Oh yeah. Fun times.

Wordy Rappinghood is one of those songs you just can't stop listening to. Its chorus's lyrics might be one of the most poetic things ever written since the beginning of times:

"Ramsamsam a ramsamsam
Goediekoediekoediekoedie ramsamsam
Ajkaja jippie ajkajee
Ahoe ahoe a rikitsjie"

Yoko Ono - Between My Head and Sky (2009)

2009-10-02T23:14:00.002-03:00

When I was just a kid who thought Yoko Ono is no more than the "Woman who broke the Beatles apart", this one fellow came in and showed me how wrong I was.

Very few people know how incredible this japanese lady is. Besides being a very well-known artist since early fifties (when John Lennon was still wearing diapers), and a very special musician, Yoko has already proved to be a wonderful and very humble person. Difficult qualities for musicians, these days.

To record Between My Hand and Sky, Yoko regrouped with the Plastic Ono Band and Sean Lennon. The result is one of her more accesible albuns. It has rocknroll, funk, moving ballads and electronic goofiness.

I wouldn't know about all this, if it wasn't for this old fellow of mine. Today is a special day for him, and this post goes as a homage.

Beach Boys - Holland (1973)

2009-10-02T14:03:00.006-03:00

It took me a long time to start loving this album. Everyone refers to this album as a minor piece in the Beach Boys's catalog. As usual, I strongly disagree.

Holland is beautiful. And It's not because you can smoke marijuana and have sex in the parks, but, because pretty much every song here is very good.

Sail on Sailor and Funky Pretty are the only Brian Wilson compositions on here, as far as I know. In 1973, Brian was still completely cuckoo and practically out of the band. It is funny, however, that my two favourite songs are his. Sail on Sailor is a gorgeous soul classic and Funky Pretty is the weirdest song on the album, and the catchiest too.

Some call it the Beach Boys's progressive rock album. It certainly does sound a bit prog in some places(there's a long synth solo on Leaving This Town, what the hell), but I wouldn't go this far and call this prog. These are the Beach Boys maturing and making complex, although still gorgeous, songs.

The Doors - Soft Parade (1969)

2009-10-01T13:08:00.006-03:00

The less talked-about Doors record. Undeservedly, in my opinion. I love how the band started making simple pop and blues songs. Where's the band who did "The End" and "When the Music is over" a couple years ago? Where's the band who's going to do "Riders on the storm" some years later?

Tell All the People and Touch Me are my favourites. The first one has Jim screaming as if he were a messiah. The second one, Touch Me, is a timeless classic, and I won't lose my time describing it: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, now touch me, baby!"

Track listing:
1) Tell All The People;
2) Touch Me;
3) Shaman's Blues;

A cuckoo clock is added to the clocks at the beginning of "Time", as is a digital clock, a rooster, and "Reveille" being played on a trumpet.
Several of the songs feature extensive improvisation over the instrumentals.

Easy Star Allstars - Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009)

2009-09-30T12:38:00.003-03:00

After famously covering Pink Floyd(I'll post this one tomorrow) and Radiohead, the infamous dub-reggae band goes to cover the biggest record of them all: the Beatles's Sgt. Pepper.

The whole thing is fantastic, even though they are just having a lot of fun, some of these covers even approach what is commonly referred as ART.

There is no bad song here, I mean, if you like REGGAE and DUB, because that's what it is. I was really worried about how would the "Within Without You" cover sound like, though. When I heard it, boy, was I surprised or what? It's GRATE! What about the "She's Leaving Home" version, then?

Medeski, Martin & Wood - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) (2004)

2009-09-29T12:14:00.002-03:00

From some fellow on rateyourmusic.com:

"End of the World Party (Just in Case) might just prove to be MMW's best studio effort to date.

The first three tracks have a vibe/mood to them that succinctly matches the title of the album: dark, eery, spooky, and ominous, all fueled by exceptional use of Medeski's mellotron and synthesizers. The remaining songs offer more variety, from a latinesque and jazzy "Mami Gato" to a middle eastern tinged "Bloody Oil" powered by some deep bass work by Chris Wood to the soulful "New Planet" or "Queen Bee", which reminds me of the soundtrack to a 70's detective television show. MMW's cohort in musical exploration, guitar virtuoso Marc Ribot, adds flavor and texture to the album on a few tracks, as do Steven Bernstein and Briggan Krauss on horn, while the production was led by John King of the Dust Brothers.

This album is an absolute must have for MMW fans and lovers of creative music. All three are at the top of their masterful game. Beware this album will be hard to remove from your cd player!"

From allmusic.com:

With The Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest created one of the closest and most brilliant fusions of jazz atmosphere and hip-hop attitude ever recorded. The rapping by Q-Tip and Phife Dawg could be the smoothest of any rap record ever heard; the pair are so in tune with each other, they sound like flip sides of the same personality. One of the best hip-hop albums in history, a record that sounds better with each listen. The Low End Theory is an unqualified success, the perfect marriage of intelligent, flowing raps to nuanced, groove-centered productions.

One of the best records by one of the best bands in the world. Not really easy to describe, there's a certain postpunky moody but this is a Fall album, and you will never know what will come next.

If you're new to The Fall, bear in mind the keyword to their sound: Repetition. Yeah, great riffs repeating and repeating while Mark E. Smith sings his poetry with his bum-messiah voice.

You will probably hate it. But remember: Mark E. smith hates you too.

The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta (1980)

2009-09-21T14:39:00.003-03:00

Ok, so I'm sick of receiving the same complaints over and over again.
"Why do you only post heterossexual music?"; "Are you people homophobic?"; "Where's gay music??"

For the last time: We are not homophobics. We like gay people a lot! We have always supported the gay movement. My dog is gay!

And to prove our gay-friendliness and open-mind, here's a trademark gay record: The Police's Zenyatta Mondatta. It contains the most beautiful gay anthems someone could ever write. In "Don't Stand so Close To Me" Sting. the lead singer, is not afraid to shout out loud with all the words that he doesn't appreciate women close to him. "De Do Do Do De Da Da Da" is pure poetry and was voted Gay Anthem of The Year in a 1981 BBC's poll. "Behind my camel" and "Canary in a Coalmine" carefully examinate the existence of homossexuality in the animal world.

It's a really good album, it's got reggae, it's got new wave, clever instrumentals. It may sound a bit dorky and annoying at sometimes, but it's okay. it's because they're all gay.

Track listing:
1) Don't Stand So Close To Me; 2) Driven To Tears; 3) When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still Around; 4) Canary In A Coalmine; 5) Voices Inside My Head; 6) Bombs Away; 7) De Do Do Do De Da Da Da; 8) Behind My Camel; 9) Man In A Suitcase; 10) Shadows In The Rain; 11) The Other Way Of Stopping.

Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Spirit of 67' (1967)

2009-09-19T16:18:00.003-03:00

Dammit, does this album cover sucks or what?
But, skip that, there is great music inside it.

From allmusic.com:
"By the time they recorded their third Top Ten album The Spirit of '67, Paul Revere and the Raiders were firmly established as one of America's best and most popular homegrown rock 'n' roll acts. The band had also begun to spread its wings creatively, expanding the garage-flavored rock 'n' roll of their early hits into more ambitious and sophisticated musical territory. Along with such classic Raiders smashes as "Hungry," "Good Thing" and "The Great Airplane Strike," The Spirit of '67 finds the quintet embracing psychedelia on such tunes as "Oh! To Be a Man," "1001 Arabian Nights" and "Undecided Man," while delivering memorable showcases for bassist Phil "Fang" Volk ("Why? Why? Why?") and drummer Michael "Smitty" Smith ("Our Candidate"). This expanded edition augments the original 11-song album with three rare bonus tracks, including an alternate version of "Hungry" and the single mix of "The Great Airplane Strike."

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra (1974)

2009-09-17T12:50:00.005-03:00

Ok, so people always send me emails saying how nice the records I put on the blog are, how I never post bad music here, how my musical taste and fantastic and etc...

Well, here's a terrible record. I hate it.

Phaedra is regarded by many as Tangerine Dream's masterpiece. Supposedly, this album is one of the best ambient-music records that have ever been made. Many call it a ""transcendental experience"", or, to quote some fellow from amazon.com: "it took me beyond the limits of my imagination".

I have no idea how can someone go beyond the limits of his imagination listening to 40 minutes of one keyboard note constantly pressed. I guess I just don't have what it takes to reach the spiritual potential of such deep albuns, as, for example: Brian Eno's extremely highly acclaimed ambience albuns.

Brian Eno, a very spiritual guy.

Van Morrison - Moondance (1970)

2009-09-16T13:43:00.002-03:00

Deeply spiritual. Morrison explores themes of renewal and redemption. Light, soulful, and jazzy, Moondance opens with the sweetly nostalgic "And It Stoned Me," the song's pastoral imagery establishing the dominant lyrical motif recurring throughout the album — virtually every track exults in natural wonder, whether it's the nocturnal magic celebrated by the title cut or the unlimited promise offered in "Brand New Day." At the heart of the record is "Caravan," an incantatory ode to the power of radio; equally stirring is the majestic "Into the Mystic," a song of such elemental beauty and grace as to stand as arguably the quintessential Morrison moment.

The Go! Team - Proof of Youth(2007) and Thunder Lightining Strike (2004)

2009-09-15T12:28:00.003-03:00

Even though at first they may sound a bit TOO poppy and indiey, they are great, believe me. If you can stand excessively happy music, you'll love them like I do.

The key factor is that they represent very well the London cultural miscigenation, for example, their leadsinger is a black rapper Ninja. They also have a japanese singer who acts like they're recording an anime soundtrack. And the main songwriter is Ian Parton, who loves 70's blackexploitation music and spy movies.

The final result is not a mess, and instead, one of the most interesing mixs of different styles I've ever heard. If you don't like the video for Doing It Right below, try listening to another of their songs on youtube.

The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (1982)

2009-09-13T18:07:00.006-03:00

Although most people probably think the only Talking Heads live release is Stop Making Sense, the fact is that there's an earlier, better live album called The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads. Originally released in 1982 on LP and cassette, the album chronicles the growth of the band, both stylistically and personnel-wise. The excitement of this material is palpable, and the muscular band rips into these tunes with more power than the originals in most cases. At this point in their career, Talking Heads were still basically an underground band; it was "Burning Down the House" that really thrust them into the mainstream, and Stop Making Sense documents their arrival as a more or less mainstream act. The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads captures a hungry band on its way up, performing with a fire that was never matched on later tours.

Another crazy man's album. This one is the last record made by the legendary Don Van Vliet, or, Captain Beefheart. If you're not familiar with him yet, well... I guess you're going to be a bit shocked with Ice Cream For Crow.

Although not as shocking as his famous record Trout Mask Republica(1968), this one shows a older and maturer Beefheart. Allegedly a schizophrenic and visibly not completely sane, he sounds like a dying pirate cursing his fellow shipmates here.

After this record, Beefheart left the music businness and went to live isolated somewhere in the californian desert. Some don't even know if he's still alive. Well, God bless that poor soul.

Can - Ege Bamyasi (1972)

2009-09-09T09:05:00.002-03:00

This is a fantastic record. One of my favourites ever, definitely.
If you still arent familiar with Can and Krautrock, I'd recommend you to search wikipedia to see what they stand for. In resume, they are a german band with a japanese singer who sings in mumblings.

This record is one of those you get high while listening to. I mean, not literally, it's just that the sound is so grasping and involving, you can't help but start feeling part of the experience.

Prindle describes it as:
"Like you just fell like putting on dark sunglasses and shaking your head back and forth like a heroin user might before the dark slumber of death rolls over."

Starostin describes it as:
"Keywords: 'organic', 'polyrhythmic', 'tribal', 'voodoo', 'dark', 'mystical', but far from the generic game 'Let's Pretend We're So Very Psychic''. Let it just grow on you."

Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is

2009-09-06T19:20:00.002-03:00

From Markprindle.com:

"I already owned cheap or free copies of Hot Rats, Uncle Meat, We're Only In It For The Money, Fillmore East June 1971, Apostrophe (`), Strictly Commercial (a "best of" compilation I didn't review here) and Shut Your Mouth With A Guitar, but all of them just made me feel.. Mmm, semi-interested. Like, I could tell that one day I WOULD be a fan because a lot of it seemed really smart, but that day just hadn't come. But You Are What You Is made that day come. The only reason I bought it in the first place was because I was digging through a bunch of cheapy CD bins where the deal was "Buy 9, get a 10th free" and I'd already found 9. I honestly didn't expect to like it at all, but the Moon was shining on Sagitarrius that day because it ended up being my ticket into a splendid world unknown. Suddenly I "GOT" Zappa! And I wanted more more MORE MORE!!!"

Black Taj - Black Taj (2005)

2009-09-04T13:57:00.002-03:00

Black Taj is the band the former members from Polvo created in early 00's in order to have freedom to pursuit new musical directions without being directly related to their old sound.

Well, like Polvo, Black Taj is also guitar-based. But, instead of indiesonicyouthesque music, you'll hear one of the best hardrock band that have come out in the last few years.

The relation to Led Zeppelin is obvious, and, at sometimes, even the guitars sound like taken off from a Zeppelin album, but, that's not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is one of the best thing about this album.

If you like Led Zeppelin and Sonic Youth, listen to this and you'll see what would their son sound like.

Stephen Malkmus is a former member of the indie-rock band Pavement. After the band disbanded, Malkmus went on to pursuit a solo career, and a very interesting one.

This is his first solo album and it sounds like pavement: creative and catchy indierock by un unquestionably talented fellow. Every song is good, believe me.

Roky Erickson - The Evil One (1981)

2009-09-01T22:37:00.004-03:00

Roky Erickson is a lunatic. It's not even a metaphor, he's literally a complete loon. In mid sixties he was the leadsinger for the 13th Floor Elevators, the band that might have started psychedelia. That's a lot already, but it doesn't end here.

In 1968 he started acting weird and speaking nonsense stuff. Roky was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was sent to a mental hospital. From 1969 to 1972 he bounced from a sanatory to another receiving all kinds of wonderful treatments, such as this one:

Apparently all those lobotomies and shock treatments only made our dear Roky even more loonie. And this record, The Evil One, is its evidence.

Just look at those song titles: "Two Headed Dog", "I Think of Demons", "Don't Shake me Lucifer". I mean, you gotta be at least a bit crazy to write a slow romantic ballad entitled "I Walked With a Zombie".

Anyways, all those songs are pretty catchy and sound like postpunk meets psychedelic and heavymetal for a ride. It's pretty worthy, I promise.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else (1958)

2009-08-27T13:41:00.004-03:00

THIS IS A JAZZ ALBUM. A JAZZ ONE, YOU HEAR? THEN DON'T COME COMPLAINING TO ME LIKE A CERTAIN PERSON WHO HAS SENT ME A CERTAIN EMAIL LAST NIGHT:

"hey dudeess... i dawnloaded a record from yer blog and it was all like jazz and stuff!!! waddafuk, are you gay or sumthin?? lol fags"

Ok. Bearing that in mind, let's move on.
From allmusic.com:

"When alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley culled together this quartet, he grabbed three champions from seemingly disparate schools to complement his flinty solos: Miles Davis, the king of cool; Art Blakey, the thundering force of hard bop; Hank Jones, a veteran of swing; and Sam Jones, a versatile bassist adaptable to nearly any setting. The results are one of Blue Note's most beloved albums. The midtempo title track provides the centerpiece of this classic as Adderley echoes Miles's swaggering melody before both unravel wonderful solos. A must-have Blue Note album. --John Murph"

Eddy Current Supression Ring - Primary Colours (2008)

2009-08-26T13:22:00.005-03:00

I haven't heard to many australian bands in my life but Eddy Current is definitely my favourite one to have come out of the kangaroo island in the last decade.

Even though they aren't trying to create new rock tendencies, and, instead, are doing the good old garage rock thing with some bits of punk and rocknroll, they do it so well that every song here is a winner.

Colour Television is definitely my favourite. You can't go wrong when you use hypnotic-repeating bass riffs.

Lilys - The 3 Way (1999)

2009-08-24T13:59:00.004-03:00

Amazon.com's Best of 1999:
"The Lilys' music will instantly remind you of a handful of classic organ- and guitar-heavy combos from the '60s, but they're wholly unlike any other retro outfit on earth. Theirs is an alternate vision of '60s psychedelia. Neither pretentious nor full of itself, the stuff totally rocks, Nuggets-style, in spite of the disjointed lyrics and way-complicated song structures. --Mike McGonigal"

Adam Green - Gemstones (2005)

2009-08-23T23:12:00.003-03:00

From allmusic.com:

"Musically, Adam Green is a pop craftsman par excellence. He seems to be a very gifted student of pop music's vast and intricate rule book. Thus his music is not especially original in any way, though often sophisticated, tuneful, and clever. On Gemstones, the third and best of his solo albums, Green seems to have perfected his art. Some of the tracks here rank among the finest pop songs that are made these days. There's the wonderfully melancholic ballads such as "Losing on a Tuesday" and "Before My Bedtime". There's the catchy and fun, almost '50s-styled rock & roll such as single "Emily," while "Carolina" is another slice of wonderful cabaret pop, and on "Over the Sunrise" he suddenly goes all Jim Morrison on you. In other words, there's something for everyone here. In fact, all 15 tracks have strong musical qualities. An unusually strong, well-produced album of classic songwriting."

Bob Dylan - Rolling Thunder Revue (1975)

2009-08-22T17:41:00.003-03:00

Undoubtely the best Dylan live album to me. The Rolling Thunder Revue was a famous concert tour assembled by Bob himself in 1975. These series of shows are notorious for having the mose intense versions of some songs (see Isis video below for example) and great guest musicians(Joan Baez, Roger Mcguinn from The Byrds and others).

The Rolling Thunder Revue culminated with the release of Desire, in early 1976, that, to many and to myself, is one of the best albuns in Dylan's career.

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady (1963)

2009-08-21T13:55:00.002-03:00

"This 1963 recording occupies a special place in Mingus's work, his most brilliantly realized extended composition. The six-part suite is a broad canvas for the bassist's tumultuous passions, ranging from islands of serenity for solo guitar and piano to waves of contrapuntal conflict and accelerating rhythms that pull the listener into the musical psychodrama. This is one of the greatest works in jazz composition, and it's remarkable that Mingus dredged this much emotional power from a group of just 11 musicians." --Stuart Broomer

Gang Of Four - Entertainment!

2009-08-20T21:56:00.003-03:00

It's a great entertainment!
Obvious joke is obvious.

Entertainment! is one of those records where germs of influence can be traced through many genres and countless bands, both favorably and unfavorably. From groups whose awareness of genealogy spreads wide enough to openly acknowledge Gang of Four's influence (Fugazi, Rage Against the Machine), to those not in touch with their ancestry enough to realize it (rap-metal, some indie rock) -- all have appropriated elements of their forefathers' trailblazing contribution. Its vaguely funky rhythmic twitch, its pungent, pointillistic guitar stoccados, and its spoken/shouted vocals have all been picked up by many. Lyrically, the album was apart from many of the day, and it still is.

Killing Joke - Fire Dances (1983)

2009-08-20T14:43:00.002-03:00

In 1982, Killing Joke almost split up because their lead singer, Jaz Coleman started reading stuff related to occultism and Aleister Crowley. I don't know what's up with rock stars and Crowley's philosophy, but the two always find a way to get together.

Anyways, Jaz Coleman got convinced that the apocalypse was coming really fast and he disappeared to Iceland, where - he thought - he would be safe, because it is written in the Bible: "And then the Judgement Day shall come - and no creature shall receive My mercy. Pain shall be spread all around the earth. Except in Iceland, of course, who I like so much."

Waiting for the apocalypse is quite boring, though. So the rest of the band decided to fly to Iceland too and record a tribal post-punk album drenched in communist lyrics and great guitarwork. And It's darn good.

Music Machine - Beyond The Garage

2009-08-19T23:53:00.002-03:00

This is one of my other favourite bands from the 60's garage movement. They made a very original sound that combined the traditional amateurish protopunk sound with very werid time signatures and strange riffs, to quote Mark Prindle: "their songs are WeIrD! I mean wEiRd! I mean WEird! weIRD! WeirD! wEIRd! WeiRd! wEIrD! God, the potential permutations are ENDLESS!!!!"

Although nearly every song here is top-notch, it may require a few more listens than usual to get you acquainted with their strange sound. Suffice to say they were leaded by THIS man:

I'll quote Mark Prindle again because I'm at work right now and I better finish this post quick or boss will catch me "hangin' round", like the song in this album says.

"Bullshit entertainment doesn't get much better than this! Screw Monkee input - Nesmith contributes a ridiculous "psychedelic" song and a wonderful lounge pop number, but the other guys don't do jack! Just oodles and oodles of fantastic tracks contributed by outside writers. You've probably only ever heard "Pleasant Valley Sunday," but you need to hear the rest. More Beatle guitar rock, moog pop, country, tapdance shimmy - hooahh! Even the Davy stuff is great! No ballads from Mr. Jones! What a great record. Buy it a lot!

Blue Cheer - Outside Inside (1968)

2009-08-18T20:13:00.002-03:00

One of my favourite hard-psychedelic albuns ever. I'll quote the words of the sage George Starostin to help me out:

"Christ!"

"This must be the worst production on any album I've ever heard. In fact, the first impression from this bunch of messy, disconnected, dissonant, rambling "songs" is that every single member of the band filled his innards with as much bourbon as possible, then avidly threw up on every single instrument and gadget, then recorded the album without even bothering to clear the vomit out of the speakers. Or something to that effect. The guitars are constantly out of tune, the drummer is constantly out of synch, and the volume level gives a very vivid impression of a busy groundhog merrily chewing on the knobs for lack of a better source of nutrition. Now d'ya get the picture?"

"And it's sort of fun."

It is fun indeed!

Primus - Sailing The Seas of Cheese (1991)

2009-08-17T16:57:00.002-03:00

From wikipedia.com:

Sailing the Seas of Cheese is the second album and major-label debut by Primus, released on July 2, 1991.

Sailing the Seas of Cheese was Primus' breakthrough album, spawning singles "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and "Tommy the Cat", and fan favorites such as "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers" and "American Life".

This album displays more funk influence than its predecessor Frizzle Fry and is somewhat more dissonant. It stresses world and political issues, such as a negative depiction of military life ("Sgt. Baker"), awareness of people living in poverty ("American Life"), being an outcast ("Eleven"), and the use of crystal meth amongst low-income workers ("Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers"). "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" contains a sample from the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 where the character 'Chop Top' exclaims "Dog will hunt!". "Los Bastardos" contains three samples from the BBC TV series The Young Ones of Vyvyan shouting "Shut up you bastards!", and two of Rick saying, "You just called me a bastard, didn't you?", and "Mike, you bastard!".

Golden Throats Vol.1 - The Great Celebrity Sing Off.

Another "terrible covers by famous artists" compilation. This is the legendary one, though. The first one to deal with this nasty subject.

This album is like a serial killer making hostages in a primary school and slowly tearing up the pieces of little children. That's not even a metaphor, I mean that literally! For example, Sebastian Cabot's cover of "It Ain't Me Babe" is just dreadful, I don't even have words to describe what I feel for the people who actually recorded this shit.

"Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds"? Worthy of death penalty.
"House of the Rising Sun"? Heresy.

My favourite in dreadfulness is Mr. Tambourine Man, though. I don't know how to demonstrate the amount of horror in this version but showing you a picture of the guy who's singing(yes, he was a member of Star Trek):

Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles (1993)

2009-08-15T13:25:00.002-03:00

Mark Prindle's review of the album(which got a 10 in his rating system):
.

The coolest. The tempo-halting harmonic "gleeng gloong!"s in "Thermal Treasure," the queasy axe meanderings of a solo Mr. Ash in "My Kimono," the harmonic-laden rat-a-tat-a-tat chorus in "Sure Shot," the pick-tapping-string solos in "Stinger (Five Wigs)," the high-energy guitar swoops and clachunkas in "Action Vs. Vibe" (action wins by a longshot), the smash-em-up count-to-fives that close "Gemini Cusp" - crud, dude - these fellows had their thinking caps on. To rock so handily, yet screw around with the accepted usages of normal pop instruments and structure to such a degree: them Polvos, they's some thinking fellers!

Sonic in their youth, too!
.

Bad company? Polvo refuses to repeat itself, trying new styles and methods of play with each release. This one's my favorite because I feel like they offer up a slightly larger number of brilliant ideas in these ten songs than they do on any of their other records. Among the songs I haven't already mentioned, "Tilebreaker" is straight-ahead indie rock like on the debut EP, "Time Isn't On My Side" is a herky-jerky keyboard-driven toe-tapper, "Shiska" is short and punky like Glenn Danzig before the accident, and "Lazy Comet" goes from stupid kiddie singalong to unsteady lightweight destructo-change-o in less time than it takes for me to turn the volume up really really loud whenever that genius Sheryl Crow song "If It Makes You Happy" comes on the air - aww now you're speaking my language in the upstairs room. I love this album, this band, and my girlfriend, and I suggest you do the same.

Except for my girlfriend. Asshole.

The Seeds - Discography

2009-08-13T22:39:00.003-03:00

At the same day Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died, also died one of the key figures in the underground of rock n' roll of all times: Mr. Sky Saxon, vocalist and leader of The Seeds.

The Seeds is one of the most cherished (and obscure) bands of the 60's garagerock movement. They are mainly known by their two hits: Can't Seem to Make You Mine(that the Ramones covered) and Pushin' Too Hard(one of the friggin best rock songs of all times).

At first sight, they might seem a bit repetitive or amateurish, but if you turn your volume loud enough and, to quote one of their songs, "let yourself go": you'll understand why Jesvs Cristvs has such a special love for this band.

They released 3 main studio albuns. Two rough-and-straight garagerock records in 1966 and a hilarious attempt of sounding psychedelic(that i'm-not-sure-how worked!) in 1967.

1966 - The Seeds
Highlights: Pushin' Too Hard, No Escape and Evil Hoodoo. The three songs are basically the same but they all rock hard enough to transcend plagium. Can't Seem to Make you Mine is great too.

1966 - Web of Sound
Definitely the stupendou Up In Her Room, a 14-minute jam with ONE CHORD. Marvelous, one of my favourite songs ever.

1967 - Future

Flower Lady and Her Assistance and Fallin'. It's hilarious how they try to sound psychedelic but end sounding so amateurish that the record turns out to be great.

Ween - The Mollusk (1997)

2009-08-12T20:41:00.004-03:00

.............Good Lord, that's a hard album to summarize.
Ween are a wonderful duo that started creating weird joke-tunes in 1990. Releasing a bunch of very good and diverse albuns, they finally reached their creativity peak in 1997, with this album: The Mollusk.

.............It's hard to say if those songs are joke-songs or serious. For example, "The Blarney Stone" emulates a pirate drinking song, "Mutilated Lips" is a spooky-ballad with a dark tone, "Buckingham Green" sounds like a 70's progressive rock song, "Waving my Dick in The Wind" is... well... it talks about waving a guy named Dick in the wind. I'm not sure what that means, though.

.............Markprindle.com gave it a 10. George Starostin gave it a 10. Allmusic gave it 4,5 stars.

Secret Chiefs 3

2009-08-10T14:12:00.002-03:00

This is one of the most amazing bands I've discovered this whole year.
The thing is they aren't just one band, but at least 7 different bands recording under the same name(and a weird one): Secret Chiefs 3.

It's unbelievable how they can play so many different musical styles and mix them together in individual albums. "Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws", from 1998, for example, starts with a classical piece, jumps to a Surf-rock craze and a few minutes later you'll be listening to Arabic-Persian music with electric guitars.

"Book M" goes in the same vein, with lyrics rambling about Hinduism and Mysticism, they manage to put Death-metal near to Indian music followed by Ennio Morricone-like songs and electronica experiments.

"Traditionalists: Le Mani DeStre Recise Degli Ultimi Uomini" is a different record, though. It doesn't contain all the bands that form SC3 but only one of them: Traditionalists. The whole concept of this album is amazing: it's a fake soundtrack to an italian horror movie that doesn't exist. If you like B-Horror Movies, you'll love this.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - Government Magic

2009-08-10T00:38:00.002-03:00

Do you know Afrobeat? This term was coined back in the 70's in Africa, the style is probably the better thing Africa has ever created recently. It combines FUNK and JAZZ with african tribal rhytms and the result is an hypnotic dancing groove that will make your mind blow.

Antibalas is a great afrobeat contemporary band from the USA. The guys take all those african influences(specially Fela Kuti) and give it an americanized charm.

This video will show a bit of how is their sound:

Rough Guide to Indonesia

2009-08-09T14:32:00.003-03:00

From allmusic.com:

Like most releases in the Rough Guide series, this compilation provides a solid overview of the music of a particular region, but Indonesia's musical traditions are probably among the least well-known in the West. World music aficionados may be familiar with the gamelan orchestras for which the region has become known, but this 15-song CD exposes the broad diversity of sounds you might expect from a country with over 550 ethnic groups spread across more than 17,500 islands. From the traditional gamelan and throbbing percussion of CBMW's folksy "Sambasunda" and the lilting guitar picking and melancholy vocals of Grup Bamba Puang's "Los Quin Tallu-Tallu" to the more modern, Indian- and Arabic-influenced pop sounds of artists like Elvy Sukaesih and her former partner, Rhoma Irama, The Rough Guide to Indonesia provides an accessible introduction to some very unfamiliar musical traditions.

Golden Throats Vol. 4: Celebrities Butcher Songs of The Beatles

2009-08-08T15:28:00.011-03:00

Following the success of our last post(the bizarre cover versions of On The Rocks Pt.1), I now present to you another pearl of musical failure: Golden Throats Vol.4 - Celebrities Butcher Songs of The Beatles.

Who would be dumb enough to mix the theme from Mission:Impossible with Norwegian Wood?! A cover of Michelle sang by a dutch prostitute?! Joe Pesci singing Beatles?!? A ridiculous dramatic interpretation of Lucy in The Sky? "Don't Let me Down" sang by a girl who probably killed a man?

Only a few of these covers are extremely bad, they are beatles songs afterall. As bad as these singers are, it's almost impossible to make a bad song out of a Beatles one. In that sense, we got to praise Telly Savalas for managing to transform Something into a kitschy sugary mess that would make even Jesus cringe.

............................Congratulations, Telly. You're the man.

1 - George Burns - With a Little Help From My Friends
2 - Joel Grey - She's Leaving Home
3 - William Shatner - Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds
4 - Telly Savalas - Something
5 - Mae West - Day Tripper
6 - Bing Crosby - Hey Jude
7 - Xaviera Hollander - Michelle
8 - Alan Copeland - Mission Impossible and Norwegian Wood
9 - Tennessee Ernie Ford - Let It Be
10 - Little Joe Pesci - Got to Get you Into My Life

Ultralounge - On The Rocks pt.1

2009-08-05T23:26:00.006-03:00

This extremely FUNNY compilation ensembles the most bizarre and stupid covers ever made by well-known artists of famous rock classics. Most of these tunes are ridiculous easylistening versions of classics like "Light My Fire" or "A Hard Day's Night" directed towards the more square and conservative public.

Some versions are extremely laughable(Light my fire, Dylan's Quinn the Eskimo, Kink's Tired of Waiting For You) and some are even interesting(A sitar version of the Monkee's Daydream Believer).

A Joe Strummer Tribute

2009-08-04T21:13:00.005-03:00

As a great fan of The Clash and Joe Strummer, I decided to make this post in the honor of his birthday that's coming August 21th. After the breakup of the band, Strummer began trying to find his true self again, the true self he had lost in the past years with the Clash.In that period he wrote a bunch of soundtracks for movies. In 1999, in an attempt to come back to real music, Strummer creates Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Jesvs Cristvs has uploaded two albums from this band and another two CD's of his soundtracks just for you, my faithful brother!
Como um grande fã de Clash e Joe Strummer, resolvi fazer esse post em honra ao seu aniversário que vem dia 21 de Agosto. Depois que a banda acabou, Joe tentou se encontrar na vida denovo, então começou a compor trilha sonoras de filmes. Ele não queria fazer isso para sempre, então ele decidiu tocar música de verdade denovo. Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros era o nome da sua última banda e eu fiz o upload de 2 álbuns dela e mais 2 CD's da suas trilhas só para você, meu caro irmão!

Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil

2009-08-04T01:07:00.004-03:00

One of the best brazilian albuns, surely one TOP10 record for my beloved country.

Jorge Ben mix samba with rock, funk with african music, mysticism with umbanda, and everything he could possibly imagine at the time. The result is such a colorful and fantastic experience that even Rod Stewart(yes, THAT Rod Stewart) has plagiarized one of his songs("Taj Mahal") in his song "Da Ya Think Im Sexy". As a result of the lawsuit, Stewart agreed to donate all his royalties from the song to UNICEF.

If you're interested in discovering Brazilian music, this record is a perfect start.

Setlist:

1 - Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)

2 - Hermes Trismegisto Escreveu

3 - O Filósofo

4 - Meus Filhos Meu Tesouro

Brainticket - Cottonwood Hill (1971)

2009-07-31T00:56:00.006-03:00

Cottonwoodhill is one of the trippiest records ever made, capturing the intensity of the peak LSD experience far more successfully than any Timothy Leary recording, and even today, when many such documents from that era can sound silly and dated, Brainticket's fascinating debut still holds hallucinogenic potency. Rather than the laid-back mellow groove of some psychedelic music from this era, Cottonwoodhill has a hyper energy in the frenetic organ riff and Muir's voice, like an acid trip out of control, while at times the various sound effects take over completely.

On the original records inside, it was issued with a Warning of "After Listening to this Record, your friends may not know you anymore" and "Only listen to this once a day. Your brain might be destroyed!"

1. "Black Sand" (Ron Bryer, Joel Vandroogenbroeck) – 4:05

The Clash - Discography

2009-07-30T15:25:00.020-03:00

The Clash is, we could say, the most intelligent band of the punk moviment and maybe wich has awakened the desire of mayhem and wear leather jackets in the boys. Their style wasn't common, punk rock mixed with rockabily, reggae, rap and ska. The band was great, they gone from underground until the top, when launched their masterpiece London Calling and later the greatest comercial sucess with the song Should I Stay or Should I Go. The group falled in many traps, drugs, internal feuds. Over time, they were disassembling bit by bit, until no one's left.

The Clash é, digamos assim, a banda mais inteligente do movimento punk e talvez a que tenha despertado a vontade dos garotos quebrarem tudo e usarem jaquetas de couro. Seu estilo é muito diferenciado, punk rock misturado com rockabily, reggae, rap e ska. A banda era ótima, foram do underground até o auge, quando lançaram a obra prima London Calling e depois o maior sucesso comercial com a música Should I Stay or Should I Go. O grupo caiu em muitas armadilhas, drogas, conflitos internos e o sucesso subindo a cabeça. Com o tempo, foram se desfazendo pouco a pouco, até que não restou mais ninguém.

When the band's over, the integrants starting take care of their lives, in separate careers. In 1999, the most notorious member Joe Strummer was returned to the stages with his new band The Mescaleros, regenerated from the huge wound that the end of Clash left over him. Until in 2002 he died from a congenital heart defect.

Quando a banda acabou, os integrantes foram seguindos suas vidas em carreiras separadas. Em 1999, o mais notório membro Joe Strummer voltou à subir aos palcos com sua nova banda The Mescaleros, regenerado da enorme ferida que o fim do Clash deixou nele. Até que em 2002 morreu de um defeito congênito no coração.

I didn't upload the last album "Cut the Crap" because it's really bad. Now, the discography, beggining from the end.

The Who - Live at Leeds Deluxe Edition

2009-07-27T20:36:00.012-03:00

Rushed out in 1970 as a way to bide time as the Who toiled away on their follow-up to Tommy, Live at Leeds wasn't intended to be the definitive Who live album, and many collectors maintain that the band had better shows available on bootlegs. But those shows weren't easily available whereas Live at Leeds was, and even if this show may not have been the absolute best, it's so damn close to it that it would be impossible for anybody but aficionados to argue. Here, the Who sound vicious — as heavy as Led Zeppelin but twice as volatile — as they careen through early classics with the confidence of a band that finally achieved acclaim but had yet to become preoccupied with making art. In that regard, this recording — in its many different forms — may have been perfectly timed in terms of capturing the band at a pivotal moment in its history.

Disc one

1."Heaven and Hell" (Entwistle) – 5:09
2."I Can't Explain" (Townshend) – 2:26

Both sides of Sparks

2009-07-25T19:37:00.004-03:00

Sparks were one of the best art-pop band of the seventhies releasing at least 4 masterpieces. They consist of the two Mael brothers, Ron(the one on the photo who carries that beautiful mustache for 30 years now) and Rusell. Ron writes the intricate melodies on the piano and Russell sings it.

I have to admit I don't listen to them much often now but they will always be one of my top 20 favourite bands. And they are very unknown, so, I didn't hesitate in making this wonderful compilation that will show to you the best of their two phases: The seventhies art-pop phase and their 2000's CLASSICAL-OPERA-POP-ROCK phase.

Have you ever thought about it how would Mozart sound if he wanted a top100 hit on the USA? Well, its exactly how the second phase Sparks sound.

Their lyrics are so goood that i've included a brief description after some song titles ahead, but, keep in mind that almost every song has hilarious lyrics:

DISC 1 - SEVENTHIES
1 - This Town ain't big enough for the both us
2 - Happy Hunting Ground
3 - At Home At Work At Play
4 - Here In Heaven
it's about a boy who kills himself after making a pact with his girlfriend. But she doesn't kills herself and he gets a bit angry.
5 - Thanks But no Thanks
it's about a little boy refusing drugs because his parents wouldn't let him.
6 - How Are You Getting Home
the guy wants to take the girl home just to make moves on her. naughty.
7 - Talent Is An Asset
it's about the child Albert Einstein.
8 - Equator
9 - Barbecutie
10 - Achoo
11 - Get in the Swing

DISC 2 - 00's
1 - Intro
2 - Perfume
It's about perfumes, mainly. Still hilarious, though.

JvCv's Favourite Joy Division Songs

2009-07-24T22:33:00.009-03:00

Hey there, outsiders. As my first post it will be good to introduce myself. I'm Acolyte Samuel Contevus and I'm helping Priest Matheus and Brother Pedro designing the blog's layout and creating the JvCv's albums covers.

Well, as a great fan of Joy Division (R.I.P. Ian Curtis), I had to do a compilation of what the congregation Jesvs Cristvs thinks that are the best songs of the band. If I could, I would upload the discography, but the church's internet has limited bandwith (let's pray and see if the Bishop buy something better for us).

Now let's talk about the compilation. It has 14 song from the 5 CDs of the band. Originally it was going to be 15, but I had to disconsiderate "Decades", otherwise the file wouldn't fit in the 4shared upload limit. So it goes.

1. Disorder (3:32)
(Unknown Pleasures 1979)
2. She's Lost Control (3:56)
(Unknown Pleasures 1979)
3. Wilderness (2:38)
(Unknown Pleasures 1979)
4. Shadowplay (3:55)
(Unknown Pleasures 1979)
5. Transmission (3:35)
(Substance 1977-1980)
6. Sound Of Music (4:25)
(The Peel Sessions 1979)
7. Komakino (3:52)
(Substance 1977-1980)
8. Isolation (2:53)
(Closer 1980)
9. Digital (2:50)
(Substance 1977-1980)
10. The Only Mistake (4:16)
(Still 1981)
11. 24 Hours (4:25)
(Closer 1980)
12. Dead Souls (4:54)
(Substance 1977-1980)
13. The Eternal (6:07)
(Closer 1980)
14. Love Will Tear Us Apart (3:25)

JvCv's favourite They Might Be Giant songs

2009-07-24T07:58:00.006-03:00

If you still haven't heard They Might Be Giants and you think you know something about pop music, you're completely wrong, my friend. TMBG are probably the best poprock band from late

eighties and nineties.

This compilation brings together all of Jesvs Cristvs's favourite songs from the band. Ranging from their first(1988) to their last album(2007) these wonderful pop melodies carry only two things in common: unlimited creativity and unlimited catchiness.

Undispensable for art and smart-pop fans.

1 - Bee of the bird of the moth

2 - My evil twin

3 - They'll need a Crane

4 - Put your hand inside the puppet head

5 - Don't Let's Start

6 - Birdhouse of the soul

Led Zeppelin - JvCv's 10 favourite songs

2009-07-22T23:56:00.008-03:00

I know Led Zeppelin is one of the most famous bands in the world. But these 10 songs don't get the deserved attention. Most of the time all we hear is "Immigrant Song", "All My Love" and (urgh) "StAiRwAy To HELLven".

Well, if you think Led is one of my (Father Henricius) favourite bands because of those songs, you're wrong. Listen to those ten gems and you understand why they are the best hardrock band that has ever lived.

Dub & Reggae Songs from the world

2009-07-21T23:31:00.005-03:00

Nunca fui um ávido fã dos estilos jamaicanos. Mas, por alguma razão ou outra, decidi compilar algumas músicas de Dub e Reggae que são admiradas com louvor na repartição. As 4 coletâneas que serviram de base principal estão na imagem acima: Rough Guide to Dub, Reggae Around the World, Putamayo - Jamaica e Trojan Box Set.

Mesmo aqueles que não simpatizam com o estilo, acharão nessa compilação alguns itens de estimado valor. Meu critério de escolha foi: ou a música é muito boa ou muito diferenciada.E entre as escolhidas constam um dub japonês da ilha de Okinawa(Ryukyu Underground - Tinsagu nu hana dub), um reggae com uma orquestra chinesa(Jah Wobble and the Chinese Orchestra -L1), um reggae-sounding da Índia britânica(Pendha Gidda - Bally Sagoo), um boogaloo cubano(Supereagles - Viva Supereagles), Serge Gainsbourg?!(Des Laids, Des Laids) e dois covers dos Beatles(You Won't See Me e If I Needed Someone).

Although I've never been a great fan of the jamaican sound, I've done this dub&reggae compilation featuring such incredible individual songs that even one that does not like Reggae or Dub is going to find things of his interest. Enjoy.

1 - The Ethiopians - Engine 54
2 - Rico - Midnight in Ethiopia
3 - Serge Gainsbourg - Des Laids Des Laids
4 - Orchestra Baobab - Boulmamine
5 - Scientist - Miss Know It all
6 - Gnawa Diffusion - Ya Laymi
7 - Supereagles - Viva supereagles
8 - Ryukyu Underground - Tinsagu Nu Hana Dub
9 - Joe White - If I needed Someone
10 - Pendha Gidda - Bally Sagoo
11 - Ernest Ranglin - You Won't See Me
12 - Jah Wobble & the Chinese Dub Orchestra - L1 Dub

Stereolab - JvCv's three favourite albuns

2009-07-20T21:16:00.005-03:00

Stereolab is a french/british band formed in 1990, in London. The band's singer is the beautiful Laetitia Sadier, a parisian girl who sings in one of the best female vocals in rock music. As Mark Prindle says in his website: "there is no ego on her singings, unlike most of the female vocalists". And that's what make it so beautiful.

Next you will find three albuns that are in my opinion, the best albuns of the band. First, paradoxally, their last album: Chemical Chords(2008). This is easily my favourite one. Pop melodies enhanced with cosmic spiritual power. You may treat it as easy listening pop-music or deep mystic preachings, it will work the same.

The other two albuns I've chosen are Emperor Tomato Ketchup from 1996, their most critically aclaimed record, and the 2003 EP Instant 0 in the Universe. This EP was released soon after the death of one of the band's members, and you can feel that this is a homage to the deceased friend.

JvCv's World Greatest Mashups

2009-07-20T12:47:00.002-03:00

"A mashup, bootleg or blend(also mash up and mash-up) is a song or composition created by blending two or more songs."

E é exatamente isso, sem tirar nem pôr. Mashups são a arte de unir duas músicas não-relacionadas e transformá-las em uma só. Prática que se tornou comum no fim dos anos 90 e hoje em dia virou uma das mais criativas manifestações da música pós moderna.

As Mashups são vista com maus olhos pelas pessoas mais conservadoras e sei que, postando essa compilação, comprarei briga com alguns colegas de outras paróquias, porém acredito estar fazendo nada mais que meu dever, como servo, ao divulgar para todos vocês este álbum que me causou tanta maravilhação.

Estas músicas foram retiradas de dois álbuns distintos, o primeiro deles chama-se Let It Beast e é uma experiência de um dos nomes mais famosos do Mashup, o americano Dj BC. Com o codinome de The Beastles, ele mistura Beatles com Beastie Boys e os resultados são fantásticos. Em seguida, selecionei 6 músicas do disco Revolved, álbum onde o mixer chamado de CCC, transformou todas as músicas do famoso Revolver em um álbum completamente diferente. A ordem da música é a mesma do famoso disco de 1966, mas a versão em mashup conta com as "participações" de Beck, The Jam, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Byrds e até um tema de James Bond(?!).

These songs are taken from two records. The first one is called Let It Beast and was made by Dj BC. They are mixs of Beastie Boys songs with Beatles's songs. Fantastic stuff. Next, I've selected 6 songs from the record Revolved, album made by a Touch-by-the-Hand-of-God called CCC. Hetransformed each song from the Beatles's album Revolver into something different. Genious stuff, a must listen.
.
Para o outro lado do disco sobraram todas as outras criativas mixagens que tive acesso nãorelacionadas com os Beatles. Os artistas utilizados aqui foram o já-citado Dj BC(músicas 3, 8 e 9), The Kleptones(músicas 4, 5, 6 e 7), o desconhecido Bullion(músicas 10, 11 e 12), o francês ToTom(faixa 2) e o, supostamente, brasileiro FAROFF(faixa 1).

Notarão que esse lado do disco está mais diversificado, vão encontrar aqui desde hiphop mixado com música judia, até David Bowie misturado com Deep Purple; Britney Spears com Van Halen com Wire com Amy Winehouse; Beach Boys desconstruído; bem, eu poderia continuar a noite inteira se não tivesse obrigações eclesiásticas pela manhã.

On side B, I've put a variety of creative mashups ranging from David Bowie meets Deep Purple to Britney Spears meets Van Halen. Great interesting listens ahead.

Uma das inúmeras bandas de hiphop dos anos 90 que surgiram e desapareceram sem muito alarde. Hiphop oldschool sampleado com jazz de muitíssimo bom gosto e uma vocalista, Mary Ann "Ladybug Mecca" com uma voz lindíssima. Ao invés do tradicional YO DAWG IM A RAPPER TREAT YOUR WOMAN RIGHT MY BUTT IS BIG que se escuta das vocalistas negras de hiphop, Ladybug rima sensualmente, delicadamente. Deleite.

One of the innumerable hiphop bands from the nineties that have come up and gone out without making too much fuss. Oldschool hiphop with excellent jazz samples and a vocalist, Mary Ann "Ladybug Mecca" with a beautiful marvelous voice. Instead of the traditional YO DAWG IM A RAPPER TREAT YOUR WOMAN RIGHT MY BUTT IS BIG that you're used to hear from black hiphop female singers, Ladybuf sensually rhymes, sweetly. Delight.

The Fall - 4 - Crash and Reformation (1995-1999)

2009-07-13T20:22:00.004-03:00

Crash
Nessa fase de 4 discos, o The Fall passa por momentos turbulentos. Em 1998, no meio de uma turnês americana Mark E. Smith(líder do Fall) cai literalmente na porrada com o baterista da banda. Muitos acharam que esse era o fim da banda.

In these years, in which they've made 4 albums, The Fall has gone some turbulent moments. In 1998, in the middle of an american tour, Mark E. Smith(band leader) literally fights with the drummer. The band disappears for a while and many thought this would be their end.

Reformation
Mas eles estavam errados. A banda volta em 1999, contando com a influência forte de Julia Nagle(a moçoila bonita da capa do álbum) o The Fall lança o single Touch Sensitive, como se nada tivesse acontecido.

They were wrong, though. The band comes back in 1999, with the strong influence of Julia Nagle(the beautiful lassie on the album cover), with the single Touch Sensitive. Just as if nothing had happened.

Setlist:
(ps: the album has two songs number 2 because it brings good luck)
1 - Touch Sensitive
2 - D.I.Y. Meat
2 - Das Vulture and ein Nutter-wain
3 - Shake Off
4 - The Quartet of Doc Shanley
5 - Don't Call me Darling
6 - 4 1/2 Inch
7 - Powder Keg

16 - Life Just Bounces

LINCUS COMENTARIUS EST OMNIE

1 - The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

A melhor descrição é essa citação de George Starostin(crítico musical russo famoso na internet):

Gee, I never knew medieval bards had access to LSD, as well.

Bardos da idade média chapados de ácido tocando melodias em prol da natureza, de Deus e de minotauros. Um de meus álbuns favoritos de todos os tempos por razões extremamentes pessoas que não cabe comentar nesse espaço público(Martina, onde estiveres, saibas bem que nunca te esqueci).

2 - Giles, Giles and Fripp - THE CHEERFUL INSANITY OF GILES, GILES & FRIPP
Banda daqueles que formariam no ano seguinte o King Crimson. Robert Fripp e os dois Giles tocam, surpreendentemente, um som que em nada se assemelha ao Crimson pretensioso e pomposo que viria. Aqui a semelhança inevitável é com Kinks e com o humor britânico do Monty Python. Um disco curioso. (Apesar de Michael Giles estar vestido em um traje judeu temos evidências concisas que ele era, em realidade, católico beneditino fervoroso).

3 - United States of America - United States of America
Um dos mais criativos de psicodelia que nunca recebeu a devida atenção. A banda(United States of America) era formada basicamente de alunos universitários do curso de música, e sobre a direção do professor Jospeh Byrd(formado em "Música contemporânea e artes" em Nova Iorque) criaram este disco-experimento lindo.

Quantos discos de psicodelia você conhece que não usam uma guitarra sequer? Zero é a resposta pois esse é o único. A primeira faixa já começa com a voz sensual e pueril de Dorothy Moskowitz anunciando que o preço de ingressar nessa jornada é sua mente.

4 - Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes

If you are a brazilian rock fan, you obviously know this album by heart(and all of the other Mutantes's albums too). But if you're not from Brazil and you do not know Os Mutantes yet. I'll add no further comments.

5 - Family - Music in a Doll's House

Em 1968 os Beatles pretendiam chamar seu disco de "Doll's House", mas então, a banda Family lança esse álbum e os besouros são obrigados a mudar o nome do seu disco. O disco que teve o nome mudado ficou mundialmente conhecido como White Album e é um dos maiores de todos os tempos. O outro disco ficou completamente renegado e agora eu vo-lo reapresento. Na palavras de George Starostin:

Family's debut is smashing -in my opinion, the high points of this record would be enough to immediately place the band in the upper league of the 'artsy/psychedelic roots-rock' British bands out there.

6 - Silver Apples - Silver Apples

Um baterista e um maluco com infinitos sintetizadores criam o, supostamente, primeiro disco de música eletrônica da história. Hipnótico é a palavra-chave.

Negativland - Escape from Noise (1987)

2009-07-10T15:26:00.005-03:00

"Announcement"
"Quiet Please"
"Michael Jackson"
"Escape from Noise"
"The Playboy Channel"
"Stress in Marriage"
"Nesbitt's Lime Soda Song"
"Over the Hiccups"
"Sycamore"
"Car Bomb"
"Methods of Torture"
"Yellow Black and Rectangular"
"Backstage Pass"
"Christianity Is Stupid"
"Time Zones"
"You Don't Even Live Here"
"The Way of It"
"Endscape"

Experimentalismo e samples. Muitos samples. Propagandas antigas, citações de políticos e judeus hipócritas.

Um dos preferidos da paróquia, “Escape From Noise” é a obra-prima do Negativland, que mescla música experimental com sound collage.

É um álbum que exige dedicação. É impossível conseguir apreciar cada detalhe das “músicas” sem estar concentrado, já que se for usado como background, não passará de um amontoado de barulho escroto.

Detalhe pra música “Over the Hiccups” – na qual uma menininha com soluço cantarola "Over the Rainbow", parodiando Judy Garland.

18 faixas que valem a pena serem escutadas. 42:12 minutos que valem a pena serem perdidos.

Negativland is an experimental music and sound collage band from the 80's. "Escape from Noise" is one of JvCv favorites and is full of humorous samples and noise. A masterpiece.

Jesvs Cristvs's Holy Gvide to The Fall 5 - Systematic Abusing(2000-2009)

2009-07-09T20:20:00.021-03:00

Falar de The Fall representa pra mim uma enorme dificuldade. Para fugir desse fardo, usarei a palavra de outros, que são mais hábeis que minha humilde pessoa, no dom da palavra:

"Never a band has gave me so much joy in my life as The Fall."

"Some people say they don't like The Fall. I squeeze those cocks with my toe!"

"Always the same, Always different"

John Peel, DJ britânico da BBC(famoso por descobrir bandas como Joy Division, Sonic Youth e o próprio The Fall)

"You see, anything can happen in life: it just hardly ever does. For example -- why did Phil Collins survive long enough to become that horrible dwarf-like urinal? Or how about this -- Had Roger Waters' father survived WWII and Syd Barrett never gone crazy but simply left the band for personal reasons, would Roger have ever been able to come up with any song ideas at all? Nobody will ever know. But there's one thing we can and do know, and that is this: No band in the history of the Universe has put out more high-quality studio albums than The Fall. Those are just the basic facts."
Mark Prindle, crítico musical mais famoso da internet. Seu site: http://www.markprindle.com/

And there shall be [...] The Fall. [...] and I the LORD will hear them [...] because they are [...]very good."

A Bíblia Sagrada, alguns excertos que supostamente mencionam a banda. Respectivamente: Exodus 11:6, Luke 2:34, Isaiah 41:17,Exodus 29:33 ,Judges 18:9.

Jesvs Cristvs's Holy Gvide To The Fall 5 - Systematic Abusing: 2000-2008 vai tratar dos discos da banda do novo milênio, a sonoridade diferente, com uma pegada mais pesada e guitar-based. Riffs hipnóticos, músicas de 9 minutos, Mark E Smith soando como um ogro das montanhas e Elena Polou(nova tecladista e nova esposa de Mark).

Lançado em 1968, “Gris-Gris” é estranho. Muito estranho. A impressão é de que foi gravada uma ritualística VOODOO com aspectos típicos do Blues de New Orleans.

Sempre a figurar em listas de “DISCOS INDISPENSAVEIS”, Gris-Gris é uma obra-prima da psicodelia sem soar tão hipster quanto seus contemporâneos, como Forever Changes e Are You Experienced?

The Rough Guide to Cajun & Zydeco

2009-07-08T01:37:00.012-03:00

Cajun e Zydeco são dois estilos musicais de origem dos franco-canadenses que, expulsos do Canadá, se fixaram na Louisiana. Estado americano onde a capital é New Orleans.

O som super distino desses dois estilos se caracteriza por uma incorporação de milhares de ritmos(música cubana, rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, blues) e por uma presença constante de seu instrumento símbolo: o acordeon.
A qualidade de todas as gravações é maravilhosa e pretensiosamente duvido que alguém com um senso crítico apurado para música(o que naturalmente têm de sobra os visitantes do selo digital Jesvs Cristvs) chegue ao ponto de desgostar desse som. Um som tão honesto, humilde e alegre. Um genial representante da música do continente americano que nem sempre é lembrado.
Obs: A coleção A ROUGH GUIDE TO contém mais de 30 coletâneas com estilos musicais desconhecidos do mundo inteiro e de difícil acesso na internet. Pretendo postar em outras ocasiões outros álbuns da série.

A fantastic compilation with the best of Cajun and Zydeko(music from french louisiana). Even though it sounds folkloric, it also sounds modern. This is not pure folkloric music, the influences of Rocknroll, Blues, Jazz and Country are evident and gratefully accepted.

14 anos de Jesvs Cristvs

Padre Alfredo e Padre Giulianno (25/06/1997 - comemoração pelo recebimento do prêmio Águia de melhor selo digital de músicas no país)

Hoje completa exatamente 14 anos desde a criação do selo digital Jesvs Cristvs. Em Julho de 1995, os padres mineiros Pai Alberto e Pai Giulianno criavam em Iturama(MG) este que é até hoje o maior selo digital de avaliação e disponibilização de álbuns musicais no eixo centro-norte-nordeste brasileiro.

Em comemoração o sítio migra a partir de hoje, 08/07/09, para um domínio mais estável e mais seguro, o blogspot.com. Esperamos que a migração não prejudique nenhum visitante.

Atenciosamente,

Administração Jesvs Cristvs

At this very same date, 14 years ago, Our Most-Loved Father Alfredo and Our Most-Praised Father Giulianni created the very first version of the digital weblink Jesvs Cristvs. Today, 08/09, our dear site moves to a more secure and complete host: Blogspot.com.

We'll continue with our Most-Holy mission of posting and reviewing the best music albums that have ever come down to this material world.

Atentiously,
the Administration of Jesvs Cristvs
