Championship Vinyl Shop

è il negozio di dischi presente in "Alta fedeltà", il romanzo di Nick Hornby. L' habitat naturale per misantropi individui che si muovono agilmente su e giù per le scale del pentagramma, tra gli scaffali colmi e ben catalogati di "oro nero, lucido e circolare". Più semplicemente, il regno dei feticisti della seconda arte. Se vi sentite attratti da questo gruppo come una stella verso il buco nero, se parlando di cucina, meteorologia o del tubo del lavabo che si è rotto, arrivate sempre, inspiegabilmente a parlare di musica e, innanzitutto, se riuscite a riconoscere un'opera osservandola di notte, in una oscura galleria, con un palmo di polvere e coperta con un telo, questo è il gruppo che fa per voi, garantito.

Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different (Full Album) HQ

In the early '70s, Betty Mabry was a unique figure in the landscape of "black music." She was not just a singer; she was also a songwriter, arranger, and producer, choosing, planning, and deciding everything independently and doing so in an extremely innovative way.

This is her most important album, a work that reshuffles the cards on the table, blending the lessons of Jimi Hendrix & Sly Stone.

She revolutionized funk just as Captain Beefheart did with blues.

Comparisons can only be made with men since, in that historical period, women were often relegated to the roles of background singers, vocalists, or at most, singer-songwriters; she, however, has a profile of an absolute protagonist.

Although she is commonly associated with being the wife of Miles Davis, when it comes to funk, it is Miles Dewey Davis III who should be remembered as Betty's husband.

In any case, more than half a century after its release, this album remains as exhilarating as it was in '74, not just a piece of cake!

You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you

Lou Reed - Sweet Jane - 9/25/1984 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

It was the '70s when Lewis Allan Reed ("Lou" for friends) stated, "By now, to achieve balance, you have to take certain drugs. They don't even high you anymore, they just make you normal."

Leslie Conway Bangs, "Lester" for friends (music critic and American musician, who had a love/hate passion for LR), once said, before finally packing up at just thirty-three due to an overdose (possibly accidental) of a mix of analgesics and psychotropics: "Lou Reed (who described himself as pansexual) is the guy who gave dignity, poetry, and rock 'n' roll to heroin, speed, homosexuality, sadomasochism, murder, misogyny, ineptitude, and suicide."

Among the many covers, Enrico Ruggeri also tried his hand at a version of the Velvet's song, including it in the album "Punk prima di te" from 2007.

One of the most sensitive interpretations, in my opinion, was that of the Canadian "Cowboy Junkies" from '88, which William Oliver Stone wanted to include in the soundtrack of his legendary "Natural Born Killers" from '94.

Standin' on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest
And me, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band

Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim
You know those were different times
All, all the poets studied rows of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

I'll tell you somethin' of Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And the both of them save their moneys
And when, when they come home from work

Ooh, sittin' by the fire, ooh
The radio just played a little classical music that jam
The march of the wooden soldiers
All you protest kids, you can hear Jack say
Get ready ya

Sweet Jane, ah, come on baby now
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Some people like to go out dancing
And other people, they have to work, just watch me now
And there's always some evil mothers
Well they gonna tell you that everything is just of dirt

You know that women never really faint
And that villeins always blink their eyes, ooh
And that you know children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die

But anyone with or had a heart, oh
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played the part, oh
They wouldn't turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her, hey, when she smiles

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
 
Nina Hagen - African Reggae

It smells so good
Watch out, so you don't get caught!
They're actually after you,
You old stoner
While your society is going down the drain with alcoholism,
But they’re hunting you - you!

Hashish
Finest cashmere
Noble quality Afghan grass
A little spot for my sweetheart
Cannabis in Holland
Bob Marley on Venus

I wanna go to Africa to the black jah rastaman
To the black culture (Heaven I, I and I, what you mean?)
I will do things like my black friends do it
Do delaomgi... Holaotrihi.... Cucou
Greetings from Germany

Hashish
Finest cashmere
Noble quality Afghan grass
A little spot for my sweetheart
Cannabis in Schwarzwald
Bob Marley on Venus

But what should I do in Africa as a woman, as a woman
If the black man castrates the black woman
au au Castraction
Get up, stand up for the black revolution
For the revolution of the revolution
Get up, stand up!
 
Flavio Giurato - "Il tuffatore" (1982)

"All I wanted to be was a beautiful diver
All I wanted to be was a beautiful diver

Bound to believe there's nothing like being seen
In revealing swimming trunks

I wanted to be a diver
With the height under my nose and the bulge of the swimsuit

I wanted to be a diver
Who adjusts and prepares with uncommon beauty

And now I want to be a diver
To be reborn every time from water to air

I want to be a diver
To be reborn every time from water to air

I want to be a diver
To be reborn every time from water to air

I want to be a diver
To be reborn every time from water to air to air."
