YouTube video non trovato yjU51nNc3fY-Il Be-Bop- It’s the police beating down on black people that inspired bebop. Whenever a cop hits a black person with his nightstick, that damned stick goes: "Bop-Bop!... Be Bop!... Bop!... Mop!... Bop!" And the black person screams:... Ooool... Ya.... Koo!... And the damned cop takes advantage of it to keep beating... Mop! Mop! Bep-Bop! Such is the origin of Be-Bop!!

Is It Really So Strange? - The Smiths I have always interpreted the meaning of this piece as a hymn to self-love, and then it’s so English. "And you can break my face but you won't change the way I feel"
 
AIR - Don't Be Light (Official Video)

WEEK IN THE AIR: AIR: Don't Be Light... from a transitional album, full of electronic delicacies accompanied (even) by electric guitar solos (see the intervention in this track) and a cameo by Beck Hansen... enjoy this piece that starts off à la Kraftwerk and ecumenically references certain '80s technopop but also features snippets worthy of '60s sci-fi B-Movie theme songs, as well as a decidedly Depeche ending.
 
Record from the ever-flourishing psychedelic scene of Portland (Oregon) by a group within the Dandy Warhols circle, etc.

Daydream Machine - The Show Must Not Go On (Picture In My Ear Records, March 07, 2017)

"The Show Must Not Go On" (Picture In My Ear Records) is the second LP by Daydream Machine, a band from Portland (Oregon) composed of Jsun Adams, Josh Kalberg, B. Mild, and Jonathan Mono. Jsun Adams is a fairly well-known musician in the Portland psychedelic scene for being the leader of the Upsidedown and for his closeness to the Dandy Warhols, particularly Peter Holstrom, with whom he shares the project Pete International Airport (they recently released a new LP). Peter Holstrom is one of the many guests on the album alongside Colin Sheridan from Federale, Matt Moore from the Upsidedown, and Nathan Junior, keyboardist for M. Ward and Rick Bain. Recorded in Gregg Williams' studio (The Trench) and mixed by Jonathan Allen, the album conceptually fits within the contemporary geopolitical context. The sound is what I would call typically psychedelic-rock, with a certain devotion to the Velvet Underground evident in songs like "Falls Out of View," the title track "The Show Must Not Go On," "Modern Prophecy," and the acoustic ballad "Tiny Galaxies." The distorted use of vocals and some darker atmospheres evoke Singapore Sling, while the rock and roll attitude is clearly the same as the Dandy Warhols, who share many points of contact. Notably, the use of synths in some cases recalls more "pop" moments of the kraut-rock sound (an element also present in the vigor of the bass sound and the repetitiveness of the patterns) of groups like Kraftwerk ("The Show Must Not Go On," "Ciggy Stardust"), creating harmonious and almost triumphant symphonic atmospheres. A great vintage-flavored rock and roll music album that will surely please fans of the Dandy Warhols and catchy psych sounds.

All We Need Is Love - Ric Ocasek

[...] this reggae all keyboard. A singing style that was supposed to be carefree, almost Neapolitan, but instead, it must be said, it sucks. Thankfully, there's the fairer sex providing the backing vocals. [...]

Polska Radio One - Cosmos Inside (Trail Records, 2014)

This album by Polska Radio One (Dmitry Kutnyakov, Andrei Golubev, Stepan Jee, Alexander Naumow, Feodor Sanatin) is truly of singular beauty. The group hails from Russia, specifically from the city of Ural, Ekaterinburg. The album is titled "Cosmos Inside" and was released on Trail Records in 2014. Produced by Alex Tsalikhin and Vlad Milyavsky and recorded at Rukami Sound Studios in Ekaterinburg, Russia, the album consists of nine compositions that mostly take shape as true psychedelic mantras, rich in acidity and references to Eastern sounds and quotes from Indian music typical in psychedelic music, which made me think, among the more recent groups, of Rishi Dir's Elephant Stone. However, in this case, the sound is more distinctly garage and at the same time space-rock. The title track is probably the moment that encapsulates all the elements of the album: a long ten-minute session featuring obsessive, almost tribal percussion, and the repetitiveness of kraut-rock accompanied by vibrant keyboard sounds and the powerful tones of bass and electric guitars. Filled with echoes and reverbs, and at times with dub nuances ("Morosim (2 C-P Dub)") immersed in a dimension made of liquid nitrogen, "Cosmos Inside" can be considered a sort of ideal journey through the Trans-Siberian Railway, taking us from Europe deep into the depths of Asia on the other side of that vast continent we call Eurasia. A wonderful journey.
