THE POPLOVER


I've seen Jeff Buckley with a pink t-shirt
And I've seen Mark Linkous, now they're both dead
I went to Florence to see Grant Hart
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

I've seen The Orange Indie Crowd
I've seen J. Mascis playing very loud
I went to Pitchfork, I played my part
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

I've seen Martin Stephenson and The Daintees
I've seen The Velvet and The Police
got in the crowd, was not too smart
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
 
I've seen J L Pierce, in a small club
it was wild and crazy, lots of fun
for a 1000 lira selling beer apart   
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
           
Well, I've seen Wilco, and Grizzly Bear
I've seen PG, inside a sphere
I've seen Beck twice, and Billy Bragg
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

I've seen Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
I saw the man fallin' on his knees
The Primal Scream before Weatherall
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

and I went to Rome, 1994,
to see  Nirvana but I got bored,
I was tired and yawning, right from the start
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

I've seen Will Oldham wearing strange shoes
I've seen Dream Syndicate, I've seen Blur
and I saw Opal and Arab Strap
I've seen The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

I've seen Sufjan, and The Go-Betweens
and Motorpsycho, The Flaming Lips,
Yo la Tengo and GBV
and I see you, and you see me

WNMIX 002 (MORRICONE)

recorded at the "attic of Alessandro" by Domenico il Fonico

Smells Like Teen Spirit

The Dead Man Singing a song to Salvador Dalì. This track has been recorded in Teramo (IT) at the end of 2014 with the precious help of Domenico Luciani. Here are the lyrics: 

I always dream to live on a cloud
spending my days shooting a star

In the dream I think the only way to kill the star is shooting fast and run before someone could see my gun

until today no one has been able to see my gun
until today

I always dream to live on a cloud
spending my days shooting a star

I Always Dream (demo live)

GENTLEMAN

Well,

5 stops to Brixton, the place that now I call home
I'm going underground, I lost the contacts on my phone

All I left behind, seems so far and mundane
everything I loved, just a blur in my brain
am I changing fast, am I moving in vain?
I'm drawn on the clouded, dirty window of this train
ain't nobody ever breathing on it

I went to Tunstall Road, I saw the mural,
it left me cold
I can't remove this feeling, as I'm acting blindfold

All I left behind, seems so far and mundane
everything I loved, just a blur in my brain
am I changing fast, am I moving in vain?
I'm drawn on the clouded, dirty window of this train
ain't nobody ever breathing on it

And danced all the modern dances
And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it
But they knew that it was modern"

Light Up the Stairs

The Greatest Gift (Rough Cut)

First single from Shannon Lay's new record out September 2017.

"Debut release on Kevin Morby's new imprint with Woodsist Records. Shannon Lay's Living Water is an instant classic. Recorded by Emmet Kelly (Cairo Gang, Bonnie Prince Billy, Ty Segall) in his Los Angeles home studio, this is an album where you can hear the room reacting to the music taking shape around it. Shannon has a voice that transcends time and space. You can't tell if she's old or new, if she's sitting next to you, on a mountain top, or down in some canyon. Already her second LP to be released in 2017, Shannon is a prolific songwriter, one who lives and breaths melody and with guitar skills to boot. Despite it's 14 tracks, Living Water comes in well under 40 minutes, but like Pink Moon or Just Another Diamond Day before it, this is music so potent it exists outside the realms of time - but in a world specific only to itself and the new feelings it creates. 

Shannon has been dominating the local scene in Los Angeles over the past two years, leaving everyone who witnesses completely breathless. Having just finished a tour with Ty Segall, Shannon is set to support Kevin Morby on a national tour this fall."

Web of Sunsets - Fool's Melodies

A Minor Place è marito e moglie. 
A Minor Place si è addormentato una sera di gennaio del 1973, davanti alla tv, subito prima della proclamazione del vincitore di quella edizione di Canzonissima...: sullo schermo, l'orchestra della RAI tuonava gioiosa. Si è risvegliato 40 anni dopo, nel 2013.
A Minor Place è 8 persone, milioni di trombe, cozzare di asce, parole d'amore.
Quando è sveglio, A Minor Place cerca - vanamente - di ricreare la magia del suono di quell'orchestra...; ma non sa, né potrebbe. 
A Minor Place è un ossimoro, una contraddizione. Le sue canzoni parlano di sodomia e di vecchi, di volpi e specchi.
Una parla di pesci.

A Minor Place is husband and wife.
A Minor Place fell asleep one night, January ’73, in front of the tv, just before the announcement of the winner of that famous variety show…: on the screen, the RAI orchestra thundered joyful. Woke up 40 years later, in 2013.
A Minor Place is 8 people, millions of trumpets, clashing of axes, words of love.
When awake, A Minor Place unsuccessfully tries to recreate the magic of that orchestra sound. He does not know, nor could.
A Minor Place is an oxymoron, a contradiction. His songs are about sodomy and old people, foxes and mirrors.
One is about fish.
