MP3: Kate Bush - A Carol Room

There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
It's babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins

There were hundreds of people living here
Sails at the windows
And the planes came crashing down
And many a pilot drowned
And the speed boats flying above
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?

My mother and her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories
I can hear her singing
?Little brown jug don't I love thee?
?Little brown jug don't I love thee?
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee

I hear her laughing
She is standing in the kitchen
As we come in the back door
See it fall
See it fall
Oh little spider climbing out of a broken jug
And the pieces will lay there a while
In a house draped in net
In a room filled with coral
Sails at the window
Forests of masts
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?

You know you are, you know you are
You light up the night
You know you do, you guide me right

You are the heavens above

You are the north, the south
The circle around which
All brightness spins
You pull it toward yourself
You are the firmament
My source of strength

You are my son, you are the sun

MP3: Bjork & Antony - Dull Flame of Desire
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

For they are closer
They are near
But they will not present my present
They will not present my present

I wish the light could shine now
For it is closer
It is near
But it will not present my present
It makes my past and future painfully clear

To hear you now
To see you now
I can look outside myself
And I must examine my breath and look inside
Ooooooh

born illegitimately
to a whore most likely
he became an orphan
oh what a lovely orphan
he was sent to the reformatory
ten years old was his first glory
got caught stealing from a nun
now his love story had begun
thirty years he spent wandering
a devil's child with dove wings
he went to prison
in every country he set foot in
oh how he loved prison
how awfully lovely was prison
all those beautiful boyz
pimps and queens and criminal queers
all those beautiful boyz
tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
his greatest love was executed
the pure romance was undisputed
angelic hoodlums and holy ones
angelic hoodlums and holy ones
all those beautiful boyz...

MP3: Magnetic Fields - The Book Of Love

Geoffery Chaucer's Canterbury Tales adaptations continue on BBC One next week with The Wife Of Bath, the tale of an affair between an ageing actress and her young costar. Digital Spy took time out with Paul Nicholls, who plays bed-hopping charmer Jerome in the drama, to talk about his role.

Do you see similarities between yourself and Jerome?
“Jerome is far more carefree than I am and, even though he is an actor, he seems to be more interested in the things that it brings him rather than really enjoying the job. That ’s not like me at all. I’ve always wanted to be an actor and it’s really important to me.

"When we first meet Jerome, he’s the baby of the show. He’s got fame and money and an excessive lifestyle. He wears designer labels and has an expensive haircut – the whole works. That’s something else that’s not like me. I like a few of his things, but I would not have the bottle to wear some of the gear he has – all that silver jewellery – I ’d get filled in! For him, it works."

How wild does Jerome's lifestyle get?
"He’s probably had more women in four years than most people have in a lifetime – and he’s still only 22. He’s sown so many wild oats that now he’s beginning to realise he just can’t go on like that. He’s just using these girls for sex, just like they are using him – and an excess of anything gets boring.

“For Jerome, having sex with a girl is just like having a cup of tea and he does take advantage of his position. I’ve seen people like that, who have girls surrounding them all the time because they are in a certain show and they’ve got the front to take advantage of that.???

So you've never fell into those ways?
“I got into a year-long relationship while I was working on EastEnders: I didn’t cheat on her and I didn’t see anyone else. Some people on the show were paranoid about things ending up in the papers and there was such an interest in [it] that I really took all that on board and watched what I did. Then, when I left the show, I’d go out and I’d drink and I’d do crazy things and I’d wake up the next morning and think, ‘Who did I speak to last night? What did I do?’ When it all came out it in the papers, it was a relief in a way.???

.. and now it's behind you?
"I stopped drinking – I don’t touch anything now. I’d had enough of it all, but I don’t regret one bit of what happened because it was my path and I’m all right today.???

What's it like to be working with Julie Walters?
“I pinch myself every day. Julie is the best person I’ve ever worked with in my life – so funny, so brilliant. I’ve had such a laugh on this job, I really don’t want it to finish."

The age difference between the two characters is more than thirty years. Why do you think people tend to have a problem with these age gap relationships?
“I don’t see it as a problem. But I suppose people who make decisions in television or film – the money men – must be scared about it for some reason. Maybe it is just because most of them are men. They know that men don’t mind
seeing an older guy with a younger woman, but they don’t know whether people would want to see it the other way round.

“I think everyone I’ve ever been out with has been older than me. Not a huge gap, though. I think girls are definitely more mature anyway and, in my eyes, they are so strong. They can see through men – they can read you like a book, even when you think you’re being so clever. Men are a lot more vulnerable than women – or maybe it ’s just the relationships I’ve been in! A woman can spot my weaknesses and use them, if she wants to use them. Hopefully, you find a nice girl that wouldn’t do that."

- Could you first give us a little introduction of yourself, a little biography ? How did you start making music ?

- I�ve been making music for years, I suppose. I didn�t get signed until I was 25. I was signed by Polydor. I�ll be 30 in May so I was kind of a late starter, not making music, but in getting any kind of recognition. It�s something I always did, I didn�t even think of it. I kind of gradually realised that it is possible to have a career, to earn a living doing this, but there is no great master plan, you know. I just did what I did and it�s good in a way that it took a long time to happen because I think, by the time my work was released, it was already quite mature. I wasn�t going through the first, second, third crap album to make a good one. It was quite straight forward

- Still-life sounds more organic than your first album. Did you work with a string orchestra for that ?

- No, I used a quartet. I think an orchestra can work, but it can also, there�s a balance that sometimes seems a little bit too possibly pompous or showy in a kind of a Tony Bennett way. I didn�t want it to be that. I wanted the record to be intimate. It is a lot more organic than the first one. The first album, I think it was overproduced. I like the sound of the album, but I think I spent too much time in the studio, a year and a half is too long. It cost a lot of money. It�s better now, I mean, I wouldn�t have that kind of a budget : I spent 400 000 pounds on the first album, that�s a lot of money. Now it is the same freedom but I have 3-4 months to make a record on a budget, I�m happy with this record.

- As an Irishman, you seem to go in a melancholic style instead of folk, like Brendan Perry does.

- It�s kind of strange, my musical influences wouldn�t be Irish. They�re not very Celtic, very slight bits of Celtic mythology that you may filter through �cause I was born there and I grew up there, but musically I would have been more influenced by European writers. It is melancholic but it�s more guttural than intellectual. I try not to intellectualise the music too much because that could make it very cold sometimes and very contrived, whereas this album feels more like, uhm, I was listening to a lot of Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warrick-Bacharach songs. There�s a warmth, certainly in Still-life, Stillives the song, that�s what I was listening to at the time. A lot of Tim Buckley. Find records that are honest without being too self-analytical to music.

- Listening to your albums I feel influences close to Leonard Cohen. Did you look for that, or is he one of your bigger influences ?

- I didn�t look for it, but I listen to so much Leonard Cohen that I�m surprised I didn�t sprout his head on the side of mine. I listen to a lot of Cohen and he�s an influence, not just in song but in the way he is and has been and his sense of humour and sobriety. He�s not precious, he�s good about his work, he�s quite generous with his spirit, I think, in interviews I�ve come across with him. The only thing I�m really precious about is the actual work not the surrounding stuff. Success is fine but stardom doesn�t really make people any happier or makes them better people. It makes some people want to be them and other to want to hang around them but I seek simplicity, I live a simple life. It�s quite isolated in Ireland, but it�s not in a depressing way.

- You did Cabaret with Françoise Hardy. How did you come to work with her and is there anyone in particular that you would like to work with ?

- Well, I�m trying to get Kate Bush out of retirement but I think I�ll have more luck in finding a squirrel in the champs elysees that hasn�t been run over. It�s difficult, but we�ll see. Françoise came to a black session I did 2 years ago and she asked me to write some songs for her and I didn�t have anything suitable at the time so I asked her to sing on the War on France. That was really it.

- Talking about your influences we know that you�re a big fan of Japan.

- I�m a big fan of David Sylvian, I was a fan of Japan. They were a little before my time. I was quite young when they were knocking about.

- You had the drummer playing with you, how did you feel about it?

- It was great because I was having trouble finding a drummer who would understand subtlety and Steve drums like a musician, he drums like someone playing piano rather than playing an instrument in a rock way. So the fact that he understood the subtleties of the songs he came from that world, he was the right person. I approached him ,sent him the first album and demos for the second he said he�d do it. I didn�t know he�d tour or join the album, so I said do you gig ?

- Is there a special place in the world where you�d like to perform ?

- Not really, I�m enjoying this tour but I�m not comfortable on stage most of the time. I�m getting more comfortable with it but it�s a lot of attention. It�s like when I was in Brussels the other night doing a gig, I said to the audience how are you and someone said, how are you ? how do you feel ? I said : how would you feel if you�d find yourself in front of five or six hundred people staring at you ? It�s quite daunting but you just have to sort of make yourself like it, it�s part of the process you have to do, you have to do that.

Clapham Junction

2008-01-31T02:19:00.000+02:00

Forty years ago this month, Parliament passed the law that would decriminalise homosexual acts in England. This week, Channel 4’s commemorative season of programmes reaches its peak with Clapham Junction, a one-off contemporary drama that follows the interwoven stories of several gay men. Yet despite the normalisation of homosexuality in those four decades, Clapham Junction still presents its characters as struggling against discrimination, prejudice – and even violence.

“The theme is how people perceive homosexuality and how they react to it,” says Paul Nicholls, who stars alongside an impressive cast that includes James Wilby, Rupert Graves and Samantha Bond. The film is directed by Adrian Shergold – whose last project for Channel 4, Low Winter Sun, won this year’s RTS award for best drama serial.

“Going about his day-to-day business, my character Terry is just a normal guy,” continues Nicholls. “He lives with his nan and looks after her – his mum abandoned him when he was a kid. He goes to this gay club, picks someone up – and then commits a hideous act of violence against this guy. It’s like, where did that come from?”

Terry’s attack starts a theme of violence that touches every one of the main characters. There’s Julian (Wilby), a buttoned-up closet case with an unsuspecting wife; Will and Gavin (Richard Lintern and Stuart Bunce), in the middle of celebrating their civil partnership; and Alfie (David Leon), a pretty – yet vulnerable – young thing.
Kevin Elyot, the film’s writer, also wrote the celebrated 1994 play My Night with Reg on gay themes. These days, he can be found adapting Miss Marple stories for ITV. The plot that unfolds in Clapham Junction – drug-taking, infidelity, abuse, casual sex, shame and guilt – doesn’t paint modern gay life in a positive light.

“I don’t think this is a moral lecture on anything – it’s a story that Kevin’s come up with and it’s got to be how he sees his world sometimes,” says Nicholls. “And I saw it where I grew up: there was one gay bar in Bolton and it had bars on the windows because people chucked bricks through them. People called me gay because I went to acting classes.”

In today’s world, viewers may not recognise Clapham Junction’s focus on homophobic violence. And, aside from civil partnership, the film shies away from other topical issues. Gay men meet on Clapham Common, but there is no mention of the cruisy internet sites that have made such outdoor rendezvous close to obsolete. Characters take cocaine – but not crystal meth, the drug that has blighted many gay clubbers’ lives over recent years. And there’s no discussion of gay men’s changing attitudes to safe sex in the light of more effective HIV treatments.

But Clapham Junction’s world is one that Elyot feels is worth portraying. “You only have to look at the statistics. It really is a bit of an eye-opener,” he says. “There are approximately 20 cases of homophobic crime every week in the London area alone. School bullying is also a big problem.”

Elyot recognises, however, that “issue-based” drama runs the risk of coming across not as story-telling, but as a lecture. “This film is absolutely not that, and I can’t bear being lectured at by any piece of art,” he says. “I never, ever – I hope – point the finger. There’s nothing worse than sensing that the writer feels a bit self-righteous. You tend to get that with quite a lot of the writing about Iraq, for example.”

One technique that Elyot uses to keep viewers engaged is to subvert expectations – not least of the middle-class, largely heterosexual dinner party that provides the backdrop for the second half of the film. “Subversion is important because I’m perverse,” he says. “If you create a group of characters who seem recognisable, but then they do something that surprises, alarms or even delights you, that’s the way to make you think.”

Many gay men, of course, would point to subversion – from Boy George to Graham Norton – as their greatest cultural contribution over the last 40 years. What Elyot’s film makes you wonder is whether traditional homophobia, in the shape of violence and discrimination, will subvert cultural progress over the next 40.

BBC - Sound of 2008

2008-01-25T01:08:00.000+02:00

BBC günlerdir fırtınalı bir şekilde süren 2008 yılının en iyi yeni keşifleri anketini sürdürüyor.

1. ADELE

Hometown Glory by Adele

She is: A 19-year-old acoustic singer-songwriter who delivers youthful love songs with a poignant and soulful voice.

Like Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash, she went to the Brit performing arts school.

The pundits say: "Adele's voice melted our hearts when we first heard her and we had to have her on the show." Alison Howe, Later with Jools Holland producer

She says: "I don't think I have to be all glamorous and lose weight and stop smoking to be a good artist."

Adele interview

Adele official site

2. DUFFY

Rockferry by Duffy

She is: A Welsh soul singer who has been dubbed the new Dusty Springfield.

With her classic style and rousing vocals, she could have stepped straight out of a grainy 1960s music TV show.

The pundits say: "You can't help but be amazed that such a powerful voice can come from such a little person." Rachel Seagrave, Capital Radio music team

She says: "I'm just learning about my voice at the moment, what I can and can't do so it's a discovery about me."

Duffy interview

3. THE TING TINGS

Fruit Machine (live) by The Ting Tings

They are: Boy-girl duo Katie White and Jules De Martino, who play jagged, luminous and infectious tunes.

Their mix of pop sensibility and indie credibility has generated much buzz.

The pundits say: "They have huge tunes, untouchable Manc street cred and a sassy charm that puts others to shame." Mike Walsh, Xfm head of music

They say: "We write a track, we record it and within the first hour if we're not feeling it we erase it, it's gone."

The Ting Tings interview

4. GLASVEGAS

Daddy's Gone by Glasvegas

They are: A Glaswegian four-piece who play vintage rock and pop with brooding guitars, like the Jesus and Mary Chain covering the Grease soundtrack.

NME magazine said they had put out the best debut single since the Arctic Monkeys.

The pundits say: "Glasvegas already sound like a classic band." Jonas Woost, Last.FM head of music

They say: "There's something really authentic about a lot of doo-wop and '50s rock 'n' roll."

Glasvegas interview

5. FOALS

Balloons by Foals

They are: A punk-funk five-piece from Oxford who build intelligent indie with layers of pulsating guitars and beats.

They say their influences lie far outside the mainstream and they defy the conventional approach at every turn.

The pundits say: "There's enough depth to suggest they could be around for some time." Paul MacInnes, Guardian

They say: "We make music that tries to be progressive in some small way - in whatever way you can still do now."

Foals interview

Foals official site

6. VAMPIRE WEEKEND

A-Punk by Vampire Weekend

They are: New Yorkers who make simple, sunny, quirky pop by drawing on African beats and their city's post-punk scene.

They've been described as The Strokes covering Graceland-era Paul Simon.

The pundits say: "They inhabit a different world to other bands, both lyrically and musically." George Ergatoudis, BBC Radio 1 head of music

They say: "People would be less interested in us if we were doing something they had heard before."

Vampire Weekend on MySpace

7. JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG

Lonely Buoy by Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong

They are: A British band with jangling guitars and indie anthems who have supported Babyshambles and Kaiser Chiefs.

Frontman Joe Van Moyland was drummer with The Pipettes and is also an actor who appeared in TV drama The Tudors.

The pundits say: "Great tunes, great presence and great style." Conor McNicholas, NME editor

They say: "The goal is to have a nine-year-old girl and an 80-year-old man in a different country dancing at the same time."

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong on MySpace

8. BLACK KIDS

Hurricane Jane by Black Kids

They are: A Florida fivesome who create a collision of cool indie and 1980s pop - half Arcade Fire, half Human League.

Still unsigned, they have ridden a huge wave of internet buzz.

The pundits say: "They have a heady mix which sets them apart from the army of bands we all come across every day." Neil McCallum, Channel 4 head of music

They say: "We definitely take something away from every era. I realised a while back that pop music's all about theft."

Black Kids on MySpace

9. MGMT

Time To Pretend by MGMT

They are: A Brooklyn electro-pop duo whose name is said "the management".

They offer their own colourful, euphoric and tongue-in-cheek take on the psychedelic rock epic.

The pundits say: "Their album mixes gnarled jams with uplifting pop hooks." John Earls, Teletext

They say: "The album does address many similar themes dealing mostly with current apocalyptic confusion and post-apocalyptic survivalism."

MGMT on MySpace

10. SANTOGOLD

Creator by Santogold

She is: Another Brooklyn native, this former punk fuses hip-hop, dub, pop and electronica into fiery, fizzing tunes.

She is a slightly less crazy answer to her friend MIA and sang on Mark Ronson's album Versions.

The pundits say: "As influenced by bhangra as snot-nosed punk, Santogold is culture-clashing pop for the 2010s." Nadine McBay, Metro

She says: "Nina Simone and Bad Brains are my two biggest vocal influences."

MP3: CocoRosie - Werewolf

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
Lose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children’s things a young mother’s love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water,
But I’m just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave
leading to my Schizophrenic father.
Weeping willow won’t you wallow louder
Searching for my father’s power

I’ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

He’s a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was wilein’ on his mom’s
And born child and he was the bastard that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he’s got his own two sons
Tried to hide his tearz in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Woon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now aligator

Oh in a dream
My father came to me
And made me swear that I’d keep
What sacred to me
And if I get the choice
To live in his name
I pray my way through the Rain
Singing Oh happy day

I don’t mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left staind on my sheets and stains
On my soul
You left me broke down beggin for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who’s deranged
He had your hands and my father’s face
Another western vampire different time same place
I had dreams that brings me sadness
Pain much deep that a river
Sorrow flow through me in tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
Breat me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess

Perry Blake

2008-01-17T13:06:00.000+02:00

"Perry has a fragile and unaffected voice stirring like a lonely violin in an empty hall. Listening to his music is like bearing witness to his personal monologue, uttered just above his breath."
Born in Ireland in 1970, Perry Blake released his eponymous debut album in 1998. It was to establish him as a massive cult artist across Europe. Critical reaction in the UK was also rapturous, with magazines like "Q" and "Uncut" shouting his praises from the rooftops. BBC Radio 1's Jo Wiley made his first two releases her singles of the week. Neatly described as one of the world's best-kept secrets, Blake has released six studio albums, a soundtrack to French movie "Presque Rien", and a live album recorded with an orchestra at Cirque Royale in Brussels.
In February 2005 Blake received a gold disc for two songs he co-wrote with Marco Sabiu for French icon Francoise Hardy. The album has also just won a French grammy. In 2002 Blake received the prestigious Fnac award for contribution to culture in Portugal (previously won by P.J. Harvey and Lenny Kravitz). Blake also recently had two songs featured in the movie "Trois Petits Filles", directed by Cannes award winning director, Jean-Loup Hubbert. He has collaborated with French Top 20 artist, Emilie Simon, performing a duet and scoring the choral arrangements.

What the Critics said:

"A star is born". Les Inrocuptibles (France).
"Album of the year". Rock and Folk (France)
"A fine songwriter with a great voice, an excellent album to wallow in". Sunday Times (UK)
"Scott Walker meets Bowie to a backdrop of Nyman strings, only better...one of the albums of the year." Stuff Magazine (UK)
