Frente Cumbiero - Chucusteady (Vide-RMX)

Comanche

Just a cute lil cover I made before leaving on a long trip. Aye, I made it sound old and scratchy on purpose. It felt right. Makes the distance between now and them seem smaller, reminds me songs like that are still waiting to be written. Doo doo doo wop.

Chester Spine - Rap Callejero

Recorded this in September 2012 in Barcelona

Barcelona Siesta Atmo

This song was sort of written as a hasty promo-piece for a last-minute gig at Googie's Lounge on Ludlow st - I needed some sort of gimmick to get people to come to the show, so I enthusiastically told everyone on my Facebook page that I'd be writing a brand new song specially for the show. I did it, for what it's worth, wrote it the day before the show & of course forgot half the lyrics at the moment of truth... Oh well! It's about chugging along and ignoring something. It's also about global warming, and it could be interpreted as a pro-life anthem. The recording was done with GarageBand on my rusty old iPad 1, using the built-in iPad mic, which is why the sound is so rubbish. I had to record the chorus standing at the other side of the room, and there's still a painful amount of clipping. But I made the damned thing so I'm sticking it up here anyway. It's free to download, by the way.

lyrics:

Just another day on the gravy train
Sitting by the window
Looking at the warm rain
Lots of easy ways to feel the same
Keep you waiting in the distance
So I can't hear you call my name

I ran out of breath in another race
So I signed away the day job
Got myself a suitcase
But I caught up to me in another place
Lucky by the sunset
Just time is all it takes

But don't you know that I'll still
Keep my eyes peeled wide
In the stream of cars and pesticide
Keep your fingers tied
To hold you on the other side
As another day pretends to go forevermore
Like a bright light in a hall of mirrors blinding out the door

Just another day on the gravy train
See you when the dreams come
Left you when the sun came
Just another dawn in the pouring rain
Looking at the curtains
Wearing off the sleep-stains

But don't you know that I'll still
Keep my eyes peeled wide
In the stream of cars and pesticide
Keep your fingers tied
To hold you on the other side
As another day pretends to go forevermore
Like a bright light in a hall of mirrors blinding out the door

Just Another Day on the Gravy Train

Bilingüe sind keine Unbekannten mehr. Spätestens seit der Veröffentlichung ihres aktuellen Albums En el medio de to’ und den darauf folgenden Konzerten im Vorprogramm des genialen “Tonino Carotone” (Manu Chao Band-Mitglied) ist der Name Bilingüe in aller Munde. Ihr Sound ist eine Reise quer durch alle Stile der Musiklandschaft. Von Flamenco bis Punk, von Funk bis Soul..(…) Auf ihrem Weg halten sie einzig und allein zwei Dinge stets im Gleichgewicht. Italienisch und Spanisch als Sprache ihrer Musik. “Bilingüe” eben… 

„Bilingüe brüten was ganz Besonderes aus. Nicht mal in erster Linie wegen ihrer feurig dynamischenSongs (…), sondern wegen einer Spielfreude und Spielstärke, die keine Sekunde abflaut. Und wegen einer Sache, die Jim Morrison meinte, «the men don’t know / but the little girls understand»: die nicht mal so unterschwellige Leidenschaft und Erotik, die auch dem Flamenco-Funk dieser Band sein Flair geben.“ (La Repubblica XL)

Bilingüe No son ningunos desconocidos. A partir de la publicación de su disco actual En el medio de to’ y los conciertos en el programa de „Tonino Carotone“, el nombre “ Bilingüe” va de boca en boca. El sonido es un viaje por todos los estilos de música. Desde el Flamenco hasta el Punk, desde el Funk hasta el Soul... En su camino sólo dos cosas están siempre en equilibrio. El italiano y el español como idioma de su música. “Bilingüe” justamente.... 

”Bilingüe” crean algo muy especial. No sólo debido a sus canciones dinámicas y apasionadas, sino también debido a una alegría que no para ni un segundo. Y debido a una cosa que Jim Morrison pensaba, „the men don‘t know / but the little girls understand“ („los hombres no saben / pero las niñas, si que comprenden“): la pasión y el erotismo ni siquiera tan subliminal, que también al Flamenco Funk de este grupo le da su encanto. (La Repubblica XL)

Bilingüe non sono piú degli sconosciuti. A partire dalla pubblicazione del loro secondo album En el medio de to’ e i live che li hanno visti protagonisti insieme a “Tonino Carotone” il nome “Bilingüe” gira di bocca in bocca. Il loro sound è un viaggio che accompagna gli ascoltatori verso tutti i paesaggi musicali. Dal Flamenco al Punk, dal Funk al Rock... Nel loro cammino sopratutto due cose restano in equilibrio, l’italiano e lo spagnolo. “Bilingüe” appunto... 

I “Bilingüe” costruiscono qualcosa di molto particolare e originale. Non solo per quanto riguarda la loro dinamica armoniosa e passionale, ma anche per l’allegria che riescono a trasmettere. Ricordando una frase del poeta Jim Morrison, „the men don‘t know / but the little girls understand“ („gli uomini non sanno / ma le donne, si che capiscono“): la passione e l’erotismo si susseguono in una maniera molto subliminare. La fusione Flamenco Funk di questa band suona come d’incanto. (La Repubblica XL)

Bilingüe is not an unknown band. At least since the release of their actual album “En el medio de to” and the following concerts at the opening sessions of the genial “Tonino Carotone” (a member of Manu Chao band), Bilingüe’s name has become well known. Their sound is a journey through all kind of musical landscape, from Flamenco to Punk, from Funk to Soul, ... In their journey they only hold one thing, that is to use Italian and Spanish as their musical language. It’s “Bilingüe”.

„Bilingüe broods something special. The main thing is not from the dynamic of their firing songs but more from their joy and ability in playing music. As Jim Morrison once said, “men don’t know, but little girls understand”. The subliminally passion and eroticism which add the flamenco-funk flair of this Band. (La Repubblica XL)
