Hi. I'm listening to your album at the moment; trying to find a copy of these lyrics online: Liking the mix.

shame 43 I'am ... had no idea 'bout such a great singer

Taken from the single "Molten Gold", this is a new version of The Chills' classic song "Pink Frost".

“Pink Frost” was originally recorded in 1982 and has been performed at nearly every gig that the band has played since then.  It is a unique piece of music and it has always changed and evolved over the years as the various line-ups of the band have approached it in subtly different ways. The current line-up of The Chills has been stable for many years now and with the band realising that 'Pink Frost' had recently become something different and distinct again, it felt right to capture it once more in the studio – with tremendous results.

Todo termina. Y no lo digo yo: pasa, es así y punto, no se habla más. La defunción prematura, la finalización abrupta de algo que pensábamos duradero o eterno, puede impactarnos, marcarnos para siempre. La prolongación de algo más allá de su expectativa de vida, también. Pero cuando la decisión de acabar con una vida (con un proyecto, con un sentimiento, con una costumbre, con lo que sea) es premeditada, las reacciones posibles son dos. O tratamos de comprender las razones o nos indignamos y nos amargamos para siempre.

Hubo una vez una banda llamada White Stripes, una banda que marcó una época, que estuvo liderada por un hombre prolífico, talentoso y responsable de dar nacimiento a varios de los mejores temas de los 00. Hubo. Un buen día, Jack y Meg White tomaron la decisión definitoria: matar a su primogénito. Después de más de una década, en febrero de este año, los White Stripes dejaron concientemente de tocar. Ante la noticia, muchos optaron por confiar en la capacidad creativa del tipo: sus bandas paralelas (Raconteurs, Dead Wheater), su participación en otros proyectos (Rome, con Daniel Luppi y Danger Mouse, por ejemplo), su tarea como productor (con un nombre basta: Wanda Jackson) y sus acciones mediante Third Man Records fueron consideradas suficientes para mantener vivo ese espíritu blanco. Otros, sin embargo, lloraron desconsoladamente.

Durante el día de ayer se dieron a conocer dos rarezas inéditas de la difunta banda. Dos covers: "Signed D.C" de Love (de su disco debut de 1966) y "I´ve Been Loving You Too Long" de Otis Redding. Y helos aquí. Todo termina, sí, pero la posibilidad de volver al recuerdo (como París, ptff), no se acaba nunca.

About The Last Days of Oakland:

It means something to be from Oakland. The tiny city that birthed the Hells Angels, the first sports team in black, and America's oldest street dance has always been ground zero for counter culture. It is a place where violent crime, art, and swagger converge. It has always been diverse. It has always understood that danger and edge are critical ingredients for art and culture.

But Oakland is changing. As its neighbors, San Francisco and Silicon Valley, spill over with money, the economy in Oakland is soaring. Young entrepreneurs and aspiring artists are attracted by the city's perceived "renaissance." Oakland is becoming whiter and safer. Now Oakland is ground zero for the national discussion on gentrification.

Fantastic Negrito is an artist who bridges Oakland's future with its legendary past. He is a wounded veteran of the city once claimed by Black Panthers and hustlers. He is a vital voice in what the New York Times called "the hottest city in America." His album, The Last Days of Oakland, is about the fallout and rebirth that comes in the wake of a seismic shift. It is intensely relevant -- the way his city has always been.

The Vaults of (Roots Music) Heaven: Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music Unlocks the Lost Gems and Wild Creativity of its Live Archives 

Venerable vernacular music institution releases 127 live tracks by the best in American and global music from last half century. 

On stacks of cassettes, reel to reel tapes and digital audio tapes lay the history of American music. There were local legends and major icons, global musicians and indie rockers. Some captured beautifully from the board, some gleaned quietly from the dusty archives of a radio station, the recordings held wildly creative decades of sound from Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, a roots-music touchstone for nearly 55 years. And no one had heard them.

Joan Baez and Donovan, Big Bill Broonzy and Ella Jenkins, Pete Seeger and Taj Mahal, Martin Carthy and Steve Earle, Doc Watson and Mahalia Jackson: It was a literal who’s-who of folk, gospel, country, bluegrass, blues, and world music, caught in hours of exciting performances. But someone had to put the pieces together—all 127 tracks worth—and someone had to clear all the rights with 85 different artists.

They succeeded, against odds that would have stopped others in their tracks. Live From The Old Town School (Old Town School Recordings; release: December 13, 2011) reveals not only the venerable institution’s storied start, but its role in the recent infusion of new energy into the roots music world, with everyone from Toumani Diabate and Oumou Sangare to Andrew Bird and Lila Downs.
