As The Raven Flies

Diamonds, Garbage and Gold

During a remarkable time of "welcome back pippe" - I admit it wasn’t doing it for me anymore - I listened to and (re)discovered garage bands full of soul and blood with, as per the rule, the most diverse influences from beat to punk, from psychedelia to R&B - from power pop to folk, from rockabilly to mod, even soul and even hard rock. In short, the essence of Rock'n'Roll from true beasts to the wild scream of “fuck your virtuosic and super-fast scales and your four-octave vocal range of bullshit.” Since 1990 onwards, with some revivals of old fossils, savansadir.

MIKE STAX, by the way, and what the hell. How do you recount this Noble in a few lines?! A true crazy fetishist. Crawdaddys and Tell-Tale Hearts would be enough and more for generations. His latest band The Loons is a concentrate of everything. Four albums, so far, in the new millennium (maybe the first one from '99 but it doesn't change much). Today we spend it with them... tomorrow I don’t know.

Of course, we will meet again… Mike…
