<description><![CDATA[A reply/post to emails I have received over the past couple of months.
First email (received today),]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">A reply/post to emails I have received over the past couple of months.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First email (received today), first reply:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No, I don't take any drugs when writing. Legally, but not technically. My last post, the Razorlight one was written when the malt whiskey got the better of me. So yes, drugs, technically, alcohol and all that, but therefore not illegally, at least in the UK. My Achtung Baby, fly one? Was written on green tea. My apologies if that would somehow be a disappointing answer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Second reply, to many emails (though mainly from the same four people. Well, I assume four, may be just the one. Isn't it time, you let me know who you are, btw? Pictures will do. Only kidding. As you know, I don't really do comments unless I have met you in person. Thanks for reading me and to bother to send emails): </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Andy Kaufman. Why? Well. I know A's and mine obsession with Andy Kaufman has to stop right here, right now. But it's like alcohol. The first glass-a-beer/wine/cognac/whiskey your peers/parents give/grant you tastes terrible. Then it gets better and better. /And/. Better. Until you gotta stop. But there is something very intimate, very private, very bonding when a girl and a boy, a woman and a man, two lovers, both 'get' something, get into something, or in this case, 'get' someone, get into someone, a performer, who by no means is a comedian, by no means can make you laugh out loud, but can make you both smile, can make you both feel good about yourself. Can make you look at each other and she will be thinking, "You may be older, you may be an arsehole, but I'm loving this".  While he thinks, "I have no idea how to handle you, no idea about your idea of foreplay but let's watch some Kaufman movies coz Kaufman will soon turn this youtube/video/DVD session into an allmighty, fantastic shag-fest."</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It's not about sex for her. It isn't for him. At all.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, then we show these videos to our friends. And they don't laugh. They don't find it funny. Which is cool. Which is fine.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">They don't find it sexy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Their problem.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But they don't smile. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In my blog. My problem.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once into him, Kaufman will become obsessive. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And, no, to directly answer one of your questions, it's not about us, clever people, against them, philistines. Those who get it and those who don't. Has nothing to do with it. It's an intimate, private, bonding thing we have.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you haven't done so before, and shame on you if you haven't, check youtube. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But for you, four people, or one person:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here's my Andy Kaufman selection:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here's the almighty Mighty Mouse:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Yfsrg28jE7k'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Yfsrg28jE7k&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here's him doing political incorrectness when Ricky Gervais still was a toddler:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/1bAQg-zWmsI'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/1bAQg-zWmsI&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here's him being brilliant a performer:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/TSYV-nEE300'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/TSYV-nEE300&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here's him being just, I dunno, too brilliant?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/mzl0O8rsgAM'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/mzl0O8rsgAM&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Too love you, until your eyes run dry ...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(You've heard it here before.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(Sue me)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">when you're hurting, sometimes the only consolation you get is the fact that everybody hurts even just for once in their lives. lame excuse, i know, but enough to make someone feel somehow relieved and comforted.</span></p>
<p>[audio=http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/19/2056066/REM%20-%20Everybody%20Hurts.mp3]</p>
<p>When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,<br />
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on<br />
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes</p>
<p>Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along<br />
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)<br />
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)<br />
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on</p>
<p>'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends<br />
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand<br />
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone</p>
<p>If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,<br />
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on</p>
<p>Well, everybody hurts sometimes,<br />
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes<br />
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on<br />
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on<br />
Everybody hurts. You are not alone</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<pre style="font-family:arial;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Readying to bury your father and your mother,
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
Distanced from one, blind to the other?

Listen here my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
Distanced from one, deaf to the other.

Oh, oh, oh but sweetness follows
It's these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and wonder.
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives.

Oh, oh, oh but sweetness follows.
Oh, oh, oh but sweetness follows.
It's these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and thunder.
Yeah, yeah we were altogether
Lost in our little lives.

Oh. Oh. Ah.
Oh, oh, oh but sweetness follows.
Oh, oh, oh but sweetness follows.</pre>

<description><![CDATA[As a thank you to my Occasionally Irish Friend for making me a &#8216;How to Love Radiohead&#8217;]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a thank you to my Occasionally Irish Friend for making me a <a href="http://brokenbranches.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/how-to-love-radiohead/" target="_blank">'How to Love Radiohead' </a>compilation I have returned the favour with an R.E.M. one. I'd be happy if it's half as successful as hers was. I am still grieving over what I had to leave off the cd (like Country Feedback and These Days) but still the ones that made it are all R.EM. classics.</p>
<ol style="margin-top:0;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Begin the begin (Lifes Rich Pageant – 1986)</span></span></span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Answer me a question I can't itemize<br />
I can't think clear, you look to me for reason<br />
It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">An obvious place to start perhaps. This is the opening track on what is probably my favourite R.E.M. album. Frantically sung and no doubt a breath of fresh air in the mid 80’s.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">So fast, so numb (New Adventures in Hi-Fi - 1996)</span></span></span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">I've played this round, I've played your lover.<br />
I've played it out and to the hilt.<br />
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb<br />
That you can't even feel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">A fairly straight forward rock song R.E.M. style. There is something about this track that has always appealed to me. It’s got an endearing frantic calm to it. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>     </span>3.<span>   </span><strong>Walk unafraid (Up – 1998)</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">I'm prepared to look you in the eye<br />
Look me in the eye<br />
And if you see familiarity<br />
Then celebrate the contradiction<br />
Help me when I fall to</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Another rocky song in a similar style to <em>So fast, so numb</em> but this time with a slight dance beat at it’s edges bringing it a more serious feel.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span>    </span>4.<span>    </span><strong>Man-sized wreath (Accelerate – 2008)</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Turning on the TV and what do I see?<br />
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me - wow!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The best melody on Accelerate in my opinion. This is a classic rock song with a sweet pop core. An irrisistable combination. I loved this on first listen and still do after having heard it hundreds of times.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;font-family:Verdana;"><span>     </span></span><span lang="EN-IE"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">5.<span>     </span><strong>Electron Blue (Around the Sun – 2004)</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">adventure has laid its claim on you<br />
it's all you want to do</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">One of the most straight forwardly (it's a word!) beautiful songs on </span><span style="color:#000000;">ATS</span><span style="color:#000000;">. A typical R.E.M. melody line which is the very reason why I love them so much.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:-30pt;margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span><span style="font-size:small;">6.</span><span style="font-family:&#34;">              </span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size:small;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">E-Bow the letter </span></strong><strong><span lang="EN-IE">(New Adventures in Hi-Fi - 1996)</span></strong><strong></strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">cuts and dents, they catch the light</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">This has probably become my all time favourite R.E.M. track (along with <em>Country Feedback</em> and <em>These Days</em>). The female vocal is by Patti Smith. It’s apparently a stream of consciousness letter written while travelling on a bus.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:-30pt;margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span><span style="font-size:small;">7.</span><span style="font-family:&#34;">              </span></span></span></strong><span style="font-size:small;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">The Ascent of Man </span></strong><strong><span lang="EN-IE">(Around the Sun – 2004)</span></strong><strong></strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:6.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The drawn out ‘yeahs’ in this song are its golden hook.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Straight forward and easy to understand World Leader packs a serious punch in the midst of the jollier tunes on Green.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">This (badly) hidden track off Green is about Stipe being away from home and missing his parents.

Raise your arms up when he sings ‘Lift your arms up to the sky’ go on, you know you want to. Basically it’s a fun, sweet pop song possibly about environmental concerns.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .5in;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;">A flashy, happy, colourful pop song with Kate Pierson (from the B-52’s on backing vocals). Michael says about this song: ‘</span><span lang="EN">It’s a male perspective on pregnancy, which I don’t think has been dealt with. There’s a real push-me-pull-me issue, saying, “I had nothing to do with it,” yet on the other hand saying, “Wait, I have feelings about this.”</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 0 .25in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I am amazed the band never released this as a single and it’s still waiting for a great remix. This is the closest that R.E.M. have ever come to techno music. The relentless alarm siren and beat bring an exciting drama to a gloriously mournful melody. </span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imaging deciding to write about every song in R.E.M.'s enormous back catalogue - it's a truly daunting task but <a href="http://popsongs.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Matthew Perpetua </a>did just that. And as the grand finalé Michael Stipe agreed to answer questions about the songs and lyrics. Now as much and all as I love R.E.M. the lyrics have never meant that much to me. Most of the songs tend to have very little coherent meaning. What I do very much admire however is the sounds of the words Michael chooses with lots of internal rhyming and word play.</p>
<p>I decided to send in a question not about the meaning of lyrics but rather about something that has plagued R.E.M. in recent years. Obviously everyone and their llama sent in questions so mine never got asked but it is still something I think about.  Here it is...</p>
<p><em>Accelerate is brilliant but then REM have consistently been brilliant in many different ways which is why I admire the band so much (if you are interested I wrote about it </em><a href="http://frmckenzie.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/album-of-the-month-march-2008/" target="_self"><em>here</em></a><em> ) What I understand is that the band are unhappy with how some of the songs ended up sounding on Around the Sun rather than having a problem aith the songs themselves. Would you ever consider releasing an album of re-recorded tracks?  Some ATS tracks might happily benefit and some other songs might be interesting to hear in alternative versions too. The holiday single version of Let me in is exquisite as is the recent live version. The rockier version of Drive was similarly impressive. Leave was a super single that never happened, it's crying out for a remix release. An album of parallel REM tracks. I'd certainly love to hear such a thing. Thanks for considering my question.</em></p>
<p>Funnily enough the last question he answered was as follows;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Courier New;">"Michael,<br />
 <br />
Are there any songs you wish you could go back and re-record in the studio after performing them live? </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>most of them, yes.  Like 95% of them.  So it goes</strong>  "</p>
<p>That frustrated me an enormous amount cause it is a yes/no question and begs the follow on question, why not do it then?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Ausgeschlafenes Gedächtnis</em></p>
<p>Schlaf ist wichtig für die <strong>Gedächtnisbildung</strong>, darüber sind sich Forscher einig. Bisher dachte man allerdings, es seien vor allem die <strong>Traumphasen</strong>, die das Gedächtnis unterstützen. Diese <strong>Schlafphase</strong>, wegen der schnellen Augenbewegungen auch <strong>REM</strong>(Rapid Eye Movement)-Phase genannt, scheint aber doch nicht so wichtig fürs Gedächtnis zu sein. Forscher aus Lübeck und Basel ließen Testpersonen Wortpaare lernen und Fingerübungen trainieren.</p>
<p>Beim darauf folgenden Schlaf wurden die REM-Phasen bei einigen Testpersonen mit Medikamenten unterdrückt. Trotzdem konnten sie sich hinterher genauso gut oder sogar besser an das Gelernte erinnern. <em>Quelle</em>: Nature Neuroscience</p>

<p>Yves Villeneuve/<em>The Chorus Man</em></p>
<p><a href="http://hellhoundonmytrail.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/yvesvilleneuve.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-85" title="chorusman_cover1" src="http://hellhoundonmytrail.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/yvesvilleneuve.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>From the brief Jim Morrison-ish spoken-word intro to <em>The Chorus Man</em>, you can anticipate a more downbeat record, which is exactly what singer/songwriter Yves Villeneuve delivers here. With a husky, enigmatic voice recalling Michael Stipe of R.E.M.'s early days, Villeneuve prepares us for a snowy winter with a selection of moody, sometimes bitter tunes. The brooding psychedelia of "See River Flow (North)" reverberates with the ominous melodrama of Thin White Rope. "You treat me like dog dirt," Villeneuve spits on "Down On Two Knees" as ragged riffs scrape the walls.</p>
<p>Sonically Villeneuve takes a mostly minimalist approach as his guitars and vocals push the songs forward; there's plenty of repetition in the lyrics and notes as well. But the hooks do stick even though the venom and sense of despair might be overwhelming to some. This is not happy, pretty-boy stuff; Villeneuve walks on the same bleak corners as the Doors once did, tying together a bracing match of blues and indie rock.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Σημ: Τα κάτωθι εκφράζουν απόψεις της υπογραφομένης. Το πρώτο πληθυντικό χρησιμοποιείται γιατί τόσος κόσμος όλο και κάποιος θα συμφωνήσει.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Πρόκειται για την συναυλία (5/10) στο καλλιμάρμαρο, την διοργάνωση της οποίας είχε αναλάβει το ελληνικό MTV με αφορμή την άφιξή του στην χώρα μας.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Στην ουρά από νωρίς το απόγευμα, με τον ήλιο και τα γνωστά που υπομένουμε στις συναυλίες και δεν μας πειράζει και πολύ γιατί σε αυτήν την περίπτωση ο προορισμός είναι που μετράει και όχι το ταξίδι.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Και δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία, παρόλο που τα τραγούδια ποτέ δεν είναι αρκετά και πάντα υπάρχει κάποιο αγαπημένο που δεν το είπαν, ότι φύγαμε όλοι χορτασμένοι.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Οι συμμετέχοντες είναι γνωστοί και ένα από τα καλά που είχε η βραδιά είναι ότι ήταν βραδιά αναθεώρησης απόψεων (εντάξει όχι πολλών..). Καταρχάς οι C:Real άνοιξαν την συναυλία καθώς είναι καλοί για άνοιγμα συναυλιών.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Η τραγουδίστρια έχει όντως καλή φωνούλα (αυτή είναι η πρώτη αναθεωρημένη άποψη), οι Ευρωπαίοι όμως άλλαξαν κανάλι όταν της ήρθε η φαϊνή να φορέσει τα γυαλιά ηλίου στην σκηνή κι έτσι έχασαν το μόνο τραγούδι που ίσως κάτι τους θύμιζε και καταλάβαιναν, αυτό είναι το With or Without.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Θα υπερασπιστώ την Gambrieal Cilmi γιατί μπορεί όντως να μας έριξε και με την εκτέλεση Led Ζeppelin να έκανε ακόοοομη πιο έντονο ότι τα τραγουδάκια της είναι κάπως βαρετά αλλά υπάρχει λόγος: είναι πιο όμορφη από κοντά.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Και μπαίνουμε στο κυρίως θέμα... Εδώ να πω ότι δεν περίμενα οι Kaiser Chiefs να είναι στο κυρίως θέμα. Αλλά είναι μεγάλο θέμα. <span> </span>(η αναθεωρημένη άποψη Νο2).</p>
<p>Όταν μπαίνεις με τον αέρα του κατακτητή όλοι θα νομίσουν ότι αυτό είσαι. Και οι τύποι αυτό είναι. Απλά αρχηγοί!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Το bully στιλάκι του τραγουδιστή και ντεφοχτυπητή Ricky Wilson μας επιβεβαίωσε ότι είναι βέρος Άγγλος κι εμάς μας αρέσουν τα αυθεντικά πράγματα. Γι' αυτό και την επόμενη της συναυλίας όλοι μιλάνε γι' αυτούς, την σκάλα της σκηνής που ανέβηκε και τα υπόλοιπα θαυμαστά πράγματα που συνέβησαν όσο ήταν η μπάντα στην σκηνή . Δεν ξέρουμε πως το έκανε - ή μπορεί και να ξέρουμε- αλλά η τρέλα που μας πούλησε μας άρεσε. Η τηλεόραση είναι ένα κακό ΜΜΕ (όχι σαν τα παντειακά νέα.. χε!), που λέει μόνο την μισή αλήθεια. Ευτυχώς που υπάρχουν και οι συναυλίες. Η παρουσία τους ήταν φο-βε-ρή!</p>
<p>Και τέλος... REM. Μια επιθυμία διαγράφεται από την λίστα πολλών μετά την συναυλία.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Εκπληρώθηκε με τον πιο ικανοποιητικό τρόπο. Η ηλεκτρισμένη κίνηση του Michael Stipe, η βραχνή-νευρική φωνή του που δεν ξεχνάς ποτέ, η ομαδικότητα της μπάντας ήταν κάτι που λατρέψαμε ακόμη περισσότερο αν και ήδη ξέραμε.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Αυτά όμως θα τα ακούσουμε και θα τα ξανακούσουμε τις επόμενες ημέρες. Για να μην γίνομαι, λοιπόν, κουραστική, θα πω μόνο ότι δεν φανταζόμουν ότι η μουσική των REM είναι ιδανική για τόσο πολύ χοροπηδητό, τόσο δυνατή φωνή, τόσο ρίγος, τόσο, τόσο, τόσο....</p>
<p>Να μας ξανάρθετε!</p>
<p>Σκοπός μου ήταν η καταγραφή της σκηνικής παρουσίας των συγκροτημάτων και μόνο.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Δράττομαι της ευκαιρίας, όμως, για να σχολιάσω το σημείο της διοργάνωσης που λάτρεψα. Δεν αντιλέγω, όλα όμορφα και προσεγμένα. Όλοι οι παρουσιαστές, Έλληνες και ξένοι τέλειοι . Ιδιαίτερα όμως θαύμασα την αγγλική accent της Ελληνίδας παρουσιάστριας Nausika, όταν αποκάλεσε το Καλλιμάρμαρο στάδιο, "Kallimarmaro" (jesus!). Σημειωτέον, οι εκπρόσωποι των υπολοίπων ευρωπαϊκών MTV το είπαν ή έστω προσπάθησαν να το πουν με ελληνική προφορά. Καλή επιτυχία στην τηλεοπτική της σταδιοδρομία! <span style="color:#993366;">Supernatural</span>.</p>

<p>Παραθέτω τέσσερα βίντεο από τη συναυλία των REΜ στο Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο. Οι λήψεις έγιναν με τη μικρούλα Canon Ixus, οπότε και η ποιότητα εικόνας και ήχου είναι ανάλογη. Ωστόσο αποτελούν μοναδική ευκαιρία για όσους δεν βρέθηκαν στο Καλλιμάρμαρο, να πάρουν μία πρέζα REM!</p>

<description><![CDATA[We just returned from a two week RV trip to California.
I know, I know, California is controversial ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>We just returned from a two week RV trip to California.</div>
<div>I know, I know, California is controversial and some of the hassles we brought upon ourselves.</div>
<div>But I have to say that the events of our trip and the events on the national scene conspired to bring me  home to Iowa in a state of near delirium.  I feel as if I have a loop tape of that REM End of The World song going  around and around in my brain.</div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">I don't know if this will be adequate, but</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">JUST IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU are out on the road in all kinds of dicey places fifteen hundred miles from home and you have had to leave the  protection of your guns behind because Iowa concealed carry  permits aren't   honored in many states</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU have to surrender all your  fresh homegrown  vegetables at the border of California in order to protect all of that state's nuts (sorry California, that's an old joke I couldn't resist)<br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU get to the dry lake which is BLM land that has  always been open free of charge to the public and you find the government is now  asking admission fees even for folks with adjacent property which has  been separated from the dry lake with a fence and armed officials to enforce the  boundary</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU are without access to the fact-checking resources  of the internet and for two weeks have to rely on the likes of  Fox News, MSNBC,  and CNN for your sense of reality</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU watch snippets of John McCain running around like  the proverbial chicken with its head cut off (or at least more stunt pilot than  fighter pilot, it seems) trying to score political points on the  economy</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU hear disconnected bits of MSM interviews with  Sarah Palin and her answers meander into non-sentences and then later she tells  everybody it was just because she was mad, although earlier when Big  Daddy McCain sat next to her for protection, sarcasm wasn't mentioned as an  explanation for her disconcerting behavior</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN THE U.S. HOUSE of Representatives comes up with a bill  to bail out Wall Street and  Wall Street succeeds in holding the government and  the people hostage in order to force this kind of bill, although not this actual  one, into law </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN ANOTHER bill, this one from the Senate, is passed  despite the citizens' outcries, which in fact have lessened due to  PR repackaging  it as "rescue" rather than bail out legislation</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU find out this bill is almost 450 pages long, is full of  pork and earmarks, has not been read by most senators, and has been signed by  that self proclaimed enemy of earmarks and Washington corruption, MAVERICK JOHN  MCCAIN</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU hear on CNN that among many of the other delights  in the bailout ...er <em>rescue...</em> bill is a line giving amnesty to a  certain percentage of illegal aliens</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU turn on dish network and the default setting on  the program guide is a 24/7 Barack Obama channel</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU watch a video of  little children singing a hymn to  Barack Obama</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU arrive home and your renters have sneaked a  couple of extra inhabitants under their roof, and even though this could  compromise their septic system and the well you share with them, you would be a  heel to say a word given the fact you know they are really struggling these  days</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU find out your retirement assets have decreased on  paper by thirty or more percent</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU are waiting for a meeting with  a "negotiator"  from the state of Iowa which is taking 50  acres of your farm for a highway and  offering you half what your land is worth</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU realize this government deal will cut your income  --although probably not your property taxes-- by 25% but you can't buy any  comparable land in the neighborhood for the price the government is offering you  for yours</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU watch the vice presidential debate and both  candidates are misrepresenting the facts, if not actually lying-- well, maybe  nothing new there but you were so hoping for great things from Sarah  Palin</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU have been hoping against hope that Sarah Palin is  the real deal but you are slowly coming to realize that she appears to agree with   McCain on just about everything except maybe drilling in ANWR</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU come to realize that in the debate Palin didn't argue for economic deregulation and  openly championed the  disastrous bailout legislation</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU see that by her apparent acceptance of homosexual behavior as well as homosexuals,  Palin may well be paving the way, albeit inadvertently,  for same sex marriage</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN IT becomes clear to you that in the debate Palin seemed reluctant to  enter into any meaningful dialogue on Roe vs. Wade</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU start to thank your lucky stars that at least  Palin unlike McCain would work to maintain your Second Amendment  rights</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN YOU thank God you live in Iowa where under  certain circumstances and according to the whim of your local sheriff you are  still allowed to carry a loaded gun</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">...WHEN JUST at that moment Barack Obama comes on the tube  with his plans for making concealed carry illegal in every state across the  nation</span></div>
<div>...WHEN...AND SO ON AND SO FORTH...</div>
<p>Yes, just IMAGINE!</p>
<p>And while you are doing that, I'll imagine you are having many of the same thoughts that I am.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the R.E.M.
Κάπως έτσι, οι παρουσιαστές ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://nasose.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/img_1960.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-242" title="img_1960" src="http://nasose.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_1960.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the R.E.M.</strong></h3>
<p>Κάπως έτσι, οι παρουσιαστές του MTV υποδέχτηκαν τους REM στη σκηνή και ενόπιον 65.000 παραληρούντων θεατών. Τους οποίους (ανάμεσά τους και εγώ) καθήλωσαν και μάγεψαν για σχεδόν 90 λεπτά με παλιά και νέα τους τραγούδια. O front man των REM, Michael Stipe (48 χρονών παρακαλώ) έδωσε ένα εκπληκτικό σόου μπροστά στο Αθηναϊκό κοινό. Ένα σόου που μπορεί να μην είχε φανταχτερά κοστούμια, έντονα φώτα και δεκάδες χορευτές (μόνος του ουσιαστικά κινήθηκε αφού τα υπόλοιπα μέλη είχαν καθαρά βοηθητική σκηνική παρουσία), είχε ωστόσο παλμό. Είχε ροκ ένταση και πάρα πολλές συγκινήσεις.</p>
<p>What's the frequency Kenneth, Drive, The one I love, Imitation of life, Loosing my religion, It's the end of the world as we know it και το εκπληκτικό, ασύληπτο, μοναδικό Man on the moon για κλείσιμο. Και ανάμεσα σε αυτά, και τραγούδια από τον τελευταίο τους δίσκο με τίτλο Accelerate όπως το Man-sized Wreath, το Hollow Man και αρκετά άλλα. Πραγματικά μία ΜΟ-ΝΑ-ΔΙ-ΚΗ εμπειρία για εμένα.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://nasose.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_1962.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-244 aligncenter" title="img_1962" src="http://nasose.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/img_1962.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></a></p>
<p>Έχω και έχω δει συναυλίες σε Ελλάδα και εξωτερικό. Ωστόσο οι REM ήταν κάτι υπεράνω περιγραφής. Μίλησαν στην καρδιά μου και πλέον συγκαταλέγονται στις τεράστιες συναυλιακές εμπειρίες που έχω ζήσει. Με διαφορά οτι καλύτερο έχει έρθει στην Ελλάδα στη ροκ μουσική σκηνή και σίγουρα μία από τις τρεις καλύτερες συναυλίες που έχω παρακολουθήσει <strong>EVER</strong>.</p>
<p>Το παρακάτω υλικό δεν διεκδικεί δάφνες ποιότητας αφού μαζί μου είχα τη μικρούλα Ixus.Ωστόσο μεταφέρει θαυμάσια το κλίμα που επικρατούσε κατά τη διάρκεια όλου του event. Εκτός των φωτογραφιών, υπάρχουν και βίντεο τα οποία θα παρουσιαστούν λίγο αργότερα.</p>

<p>λυσσαξε πανω - κατω, σκαρφαλωσε και μια στην κολωνα της σκηνης</p>
<p>(γνωστο κολπο.. πιανει παντα.. το κοινο εκστασιαζεται) </p>
<p>Ηταν ευχαριστα απροβλεπτος και το κοινο τον λατρεψε.</p>
<p>Παιξανε λιγο.. αλλα θα τους θυμουνται καιρο..</p>
<p>Να μας ξαναρθετε..</p>
<p>-------------------------------------</p>
<p>REΜ</p>
<p>Ενα απωθημενο μειον στην λιστα μου.</p>
<p>Οι REM ηταν στο τοπ 5 των αγαπημενων μου συγκροτηματων</p>
<p>απο οταν αρχισα να ακουω μουσικη.</p>
<p>Δυστυχως τα τελευταια χρονια, χασανε την προσοχη μου λογω</p>
<p>των αδιαφορων δισκων που εβγαλαν.</p>
<p>Δεν εφυγαν ομως απο το τοπ 5. Ισως επειδη ειναι σαν το σεξ..</p>
<p>Παντα θυμασαι τις πρωτες φορες οσα χρονια και αν περασουν.</p>
<p>Η συναυλια τους ομως δεν με εφτασε σε κανεναν οργασμο.</p>
<p>Ειχε λιγο απο την χαρα και τον ενθουσιασμο της πρωτης φορας που</p>
<p>βλεπεις κατι που περιμενες χρονια..</p>
<p>Ειχε πολυ κοιλια λογω των αδιαφορων καινουργιων κομματιων</p>
<p>Ειχε τα παλια κλασσικα τραγουδια για να σε φτιαξει λιγο..</p>
<p>(-) Aμαν το κολλημα τους με τον Obama, μετα την Mαντονα.. και οι REM.</p>
<p>Γενικα ηταν λιγη για μενα.</p>
<p>Ευτυχως, η φωνη του μεγαλου Stipe ηταν αρκετη..</p>
<p>..απο αυτες που δεν ξεχνας ποτε.</p>
<p>Ακομα και τα αδιαφορα νεα τραγουδια.. αποκταγανε ενα ενδιαφερον με</p>
<p>την εικονα και την ερμηνεια του θεατρικου - νευρικου Michael.</p>
<p>Παραπονο που δεν ειπαν αρκετα αγαπημενα κομματια..</p>
<p>Ελπιζω να τους ξαναδουμε..</p>

<description><![CDATA[We had a wonderful time this afternoon at a kiddie rock show with two of the little girl&#8217;s old]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a wonderful time this afternoon at a kiddie rock show with two of the little girl's oldest, dearest daycare pals. She's known these boys since she was six months old and loves them a lot. I was feeling almost like a hip mom, sitting on the floor at the cool upstairs performance space in an old, possibly legendary corner tavern, pounding my plastic shaker in the air, rockin' out with the tots to "Yellow Submarine" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider." I all but let myself go on "No More Monkeys Jumpin' On the Bed!," shouting out the titular verse with the band and my little girl.</p>
<p>At some point, I realized that the other parents were singing along with a rock song that was entirely unfamiliar to me. It's a GenX band and was a largely GenX parental crowd, as far as I could tell. There was a line in the song, a metaphor, about a tornado on the sun, or around the sun. I may have been in the middle of a generational anthem, and not only was it not mine, I didn't know it and am not sure if it even was an anthem. I thought for sure I'd be able to google this and find out what it was. Not so easy. Maybe it's an R.E.M. song, I thought, because I heard one parent comment to the other about R.E.M., as if jointly praising the band for having played R.E.M.</p>
<p>I don't know from R.E.M. In spite of my 1980s youthfulness, I'd be only slightly exaggerating to say that if it happened after Cyndy Lauper's "True Colors," I don't know about it. I ran with crowds that partied to Motown into the late '80s. I married in 1990 and don't know what my peers partied to in that decade, or whether they partied. I do know it's been about 20 years since I've been to a big house party -- sometimes at a stranger's big house -- with a keg on the back porch and a crowded kitchen ... but I digress.</p>
<p>According to the Internets, R.E.M. had a song called "Around the Sun," although I didn't see anything about a tornado in it, and a song called "White Tornado," for which I could not find lyrics, in spite of there being numerous google hits for those lyrics. Any GenXers or hipper than I GenJonesers out there who know what this song could have been? Not that it changes my out-of-generation moment. And, ultimately, not that it matters.</p>
<p>The kids loved the drums, shakers, tambourines, singing and dancing. My gal and her pals loved seeing each other. I got to see the little girl sitting on a bar stool between two of her favorite little guys, sipping on Juicy Juice, eating pretzels, swaying in a preschooler way to the band. Afterwards, the lead singer, who plays daycares and birthday parties, obliged a request from one of the little boys and serenaded him and the little girl with "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."</p>
<p>I wasn't thinking about being a Baby Boomer or GenJoneser or not being a GenX mom. I was having a wonderful time watching the little girl have a ball, and being her mom!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Uglysuit - Everyone Now Has A Smile</strong>. Höre ich grade zum ersten Mal, den Song - liegt daran, dass ich mir diese Platte auch eben erst bei eMusic besorgt habe. Stimme klingt ein wenig nach Conor Oberst, das Arrangements ist groß bis bombastisch - schön, mag ich.</p>
<p><strong>R.E.M. - Imitation Of Live</strong> (MTV Unplugged). War nie wirklich Fan von R.E.M., irgendwie gut finde ich sie trotzdem. Und "Imitation Of Live" ist ein super Song - allerdings gefällt mir die Albumversion dann doch besser als diese etwas behäbig-routinierte Unplugged-Fassung. </p>
<p><strong>G. Love &#38; Special Sauce - Back Of The Bus</strong> (A Year &#38; A Night live). G. Love ist super: vielleicht nicht der versierteste Songwriter der Welt, aber ein Performer vor dem Herrn. Ich mag diese Mischung aus Pop, Rap, Blues und Rumgejamme sehr und finde diese Version von "Back Of The Bus" sehr, sehr schick.</p>
<p><strong>Joan Osborne - I'll Be Around</strong>. Joan interpretiert auf "How Sweet It Is" (von der dieser Song stammt) Soulstandards - und das äußerst gekonnt: mir gefällt, wie sie sich voller Respekt die Stücke zu eigen macht, und sie dennoch ins Hier und Jetzt übersetzt und nicht in den Siebzigern (oder so) kleben bleibt. Ja, Joan ist eine begnadete <em>Interpretin</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Willie Nelson &#38; Sinéad O'Connor - Don't Give Up</strong>. Genau, das "Don't Give Up" von Peter Gabriel, das mit Kate Bush. Die Version von Willie und Sinéad (7 Minuten!) gehört zum besten, was ich jemals in meinem Leben gehört habe: dieser knarzige Country-Barde trifft auf die (stimmlich) gerade-noch-so jugendliche Sinéad, eine gewagte Kombination, die auf ganzer Linie gewinnt. Gott, ist das kitschig. Gott, ist das gut.</p>
<p><strong>Jamie Laboz - The Darkness</strong>. Mr. Laboz hat letztes Jahr eine Art Öko-Rock-Oper geschrieben, die in voller Länge dann doch eher eine Geduldprobe ist als ein Hörgenuss. Auf meinem iPod, weil Aaron Comess von den Spin Doctors auf dieser Platte Schlagzeug spielt. Der Song selbst ist ein Blues, arrangiert irgendwo zwischen Krautrock und dem Gary Moore der frühen Neunziger - sehr speziell, aber dann doch alles andere als schlecht. </p>
<p><strong>Katie Melua - Mockingbird Song</strong>. Die Melua finde ich einfach nett - und das ist absolut nett gemeint. Nette Stimme, nette Arrangements, nette Songs. Das isses dann aber auch schon.<br />

<title><![CDATA[What is an architect?]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time I find myself wondering if I'm an architect. I know that somewhere, deep inside my desk drawer, there's a piece of paper that "officially" takes away the doubt. There are also 5 years worth of memories of studio, AutoCAD, sleepless nights, too much coffee/cigarettes, big words that I didn't understand and a fare share of criticism that are burnt into my flesh like a branded cow - "Architect"....pssssss....</p>
<p>Most of the time I don't think of myself as an architect. God knows that if you ask me about floor panel sizes, construction materials and building standards, you'll probably get a questioning look. I spent a year working as a grunt in an office and that was one year too many. My career as an architect can be characterized by working for a few months in an office, getting into a fight with my boss, quitting/getting fired and moving on to the next office. In retrospective, I think that tended to happen because my boss was an architect and a very proud one at that, and did not appreciate people who tried to question what an architect is.</p>
<p>So in celebration of some-reason-to-celebrate I'm making list (anyone who knows me also knows my passion for lists...) of things that make an architect an architect. If you have any suggestions please don't be shy...</p>
<p>An architect...</p>
<p>1. always wears black.</p>
<p>2. has cool glasses and/or thick, black rimmed, plastic glasses</p>
<p>3. likes to use big words that no one understands</p>
<p>3(a). enjoys abusing his friends with his fancy words as he talks and talk and talks...</p>
<p>4. gets aroused by sexy graphics/renders/diagrams</p>
<p>5. has 'S,M,L,XL' by Rem Koolhaas</p>
<p>6. has a glorious collection of books, 84% of which he has never opened</p>
<p>6(a). has a glorious collection of books, 98% of which he has 'read' (which means flipped through and looked at the pictures)</p>
<p>6(b). isn't very good at math (see 6 and 6(a))</p>
<p>7. worships Le Corbusier and/or Mies</p>
<p>8. fascinated by the aesthetics of the machine</p>
<p>9. drinks too much coffee</p>
<p>9(a). smokes too many cigarettes</p>
<p>10. takes pride in not sleeping</p>
<p>11. works 25 hours a day...24 of which he spends on talking (3(a)), drinking coffee (9) and smoking cigarettes (9(a))</p>
<p>12. makes less money than a farmer in a third world country</p>
<p>13. convinced that his job is the most important job in the world</p>
<p>14. adores white spaces</p>
<p>15. thinks that 'practical' is just another word for 'ugly' or 'boring'</p>
<p>16. appreciates the good things in life (although he can't afford them...)</p>
<p>17.</p>
<p>18.</p>
<p>19.</p>
<p>20.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hace ya unos meses puse <a href="http://mcartier.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/rem-everybody-hurts/" target="_blank">aquí</a> una canción suya. En aquel post decía que no eran un grupo que me encantase en general, pero sí que tienen grandes temas. </p>
<p>El pasado miercoles tuve la oportunidad de estar en el conceirto que dieron en Las Ventas y, aún no controlando su discografía, disfrute mucho del concierto. Se nota que llevan muchos años en la élite de la música por algo. Son buenos en un escenario, muy buenos.</p>
<p>Y no quería recurrir a lo obvio... pero para mí, el momento de la noche fue cuando pude oir esta canción, por primera vez, en directo.</p>
