Voglia di lavorare pochina davvero, se poi ci aggiungiamo la rivolta delle macchine contro l' uomo, mi sembra di essere catapultato dentro Metropolis di Fritz Lang...
Comunque sia. ieri siamo tornati a provare dopo un paio di settimane di oblio anche se in formazione ridotta a trio, bass-less, e' stata comunque una buona occasione per fissare un po' di cose prima della ns. traferta leccese del 13 maggio, novita' gustose ci attendono.
Intanto vi lascio due segnalazioni:
Ancora cultura Mod dal ModFather Italiano Tony Face
Un fantastico blog-musicale dedicato agli amanti delle swingin' chicks

YOU SET THE SCENE
"Arthur Lee from Love has recently been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and has undergone 3 weeks of aggressive chemotherapy. Doctors are hopeful for a full recovery, but Arthur still faces more chemo, extensive hospital stays, and a possible bone marrow transplant. Arthur Lee has no health insurance to cover his growing (over $100,000+) medical bills.
Arthur Lee (Love) is a man larger than life. A flamboyant artist with a trail of myth and mythology that follows him like a purple feathered boa. His band Love was the first rock band signed to Elektra, and Arthur is responsible for talking Jac Holtzman into signing the Doors. Before all this, in 1964, Arthur gave his friend, an unknown Jimi Hendrix, his first appearance on record (the Arthur penned My Diary, by Rosa Lee Brooks).
Love's third recording, "Forever Changes," is still widely considered to be one of the great rock n roll discs of all time. Love were true artists, but not "careerist." They preferred living together in "the castle" near Griffith Park to life on the road. Arthur even turned down invitations to perform at the Monterrey Pop Festival and Woodstock.
In the 90's Arthur spent eight years behind bars for "allegedly" shooting off a gun in his apartment. When he was released, he wasted no time getting back to the road and his music. During the past four years, Arthur has performed "Forever Changes" to sold out audiences and fantastic reviews throughout Europe and the United States, backed by the local group Baby Lemonade, and a string and horn section.
Just when he thought his bad times were finally over, he learned he was sick.
To help cover his medical expenses, Spaceland Productions, Bruce Solar from The Agency Group, and Mark Linn from Delmore Recording Society are producing a benefit concert/tribute for Arthur. We would like to extend a warm invitation to those bands and performers who want to be part of this benefit to honor one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time.
The concert will be held in late May/early June; we are looking at venues of all sizes: The Avalon, El Rey, Disney Hall, or Greek Theatre with the line up determining the location. Artists we are currently speaking with include X, Calexico, and Cake. Baby Lemonade is available to back up any singer and there will be a string section as well.
We are looking for artists to perform a few of Arthur's songs that capture the spirit and magic of Arthur Lee & Love. All proceeds will go to Arthur's medical expenses."
For further information please contact:
Mitchell Frank or Liz Garo: 323 662 7728
Bruce Solar: 310 385 2800
Mark Linn: 615 480 6923
A quanto pare il buon Arthur non se la passa bene, decisamente...
Io incrocio le dita.

Oggi non avevo proprio voglia di incazzarmi e nonostante tutto non lo faro'...
Scrivere ormai non e' un piu' un privilegio. Certo, ma non diventa necessariamente un obbligo sopratutto quando si dimostra di non possedere quel minimo di conoscenza della materia necessaria per rendere giustizia sia all' altrui operato che a se stessi...
E chi vuol capire capisca.
Ormai mi riduco a fare degli aggiornamenti settimanali e in fondo va anche bene, vista la penuria di notizie e la mole di lavoro da lobotomia frontale.
Forse e' meglio lasciar perdere e dedicarsi ad altro.
Ciao
