The Japanese experimental electro pop musician Takako Minkewa,
and American Chinese experimental guitar player Dustin Wong’s
brand new common album Savage Imagination is out now on Thrill Jockey Records.
It’s such as great pleasure for me that I have taken out Takako’s old records.
Some classic, funny, abstract electro-pop songs by her from the second half of the 90s,
except for the first song, which has been taken from the brand new album.

JUST 25 MINUTES TO GO
Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) was a highly talented many-sided artist: Grammy awarded (for his song „A Boy Named Sue” in 1970, you know it by Johnny Cash), Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician, writer, poet:
Whatif
Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I’m dumb in school?
Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there’s poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don’t grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won’t bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don’t grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime Whatifs strike again!
& cartoonist:
He wrote lots of songs for Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show, e.g. „The Ballad of Lucy Jordan”, which also was recorded by Marianne Faithful, Lee Hazelwood and others. One among his evergreens is „25 Minutes to Go”. It has become famous by Johnny Cash. Now here are 7 x last 25 minutes of a condemned man by various artists. Of course there is the original one too.

„but we usually just laugh at the Ramones covers”
To play a Ramones’ song is very easy, but nearly impossible.
Altogether 6 342 328 covers were born until 30.06.2014.
(Blitzkrieg Bop has 123 385 versions alone.)
99% is waste, but so much that if you play one on comb and tissue paper
you are in the 1%.
Metal covers: horror; punk/rock covers: concentrated boredom.
Such over skilled bands as Metallica and Nomeansno also failed unexpectedly.
We must realize, the necessary surplus isn’t in the songs, it was in the band.

Ramones covers on RNR666 Radio Show
„but we usually just laugh at the Ramones covers”
came the response when I asked Zsófi to send some tracks, and also thanks to Ironcopy.
During the editing Tommy Ramone has died, so we dedicate this to his remembrance.

My Fav French Chanteuses_1
CLARIKA
Her name is Claire Keszei. Daughter of a Hungarian catholic poet István Keszei. He was a refugee of Hungarian revolution of 1956. During the revolution in Székesfehérvár he wrote articles about snarly Russian tanks instead of smiley Russian tanks. Later he wanted to settle back to homeland, but his petitions were steadily refused, although a well-known Hungarian poet Sándor Csoóri also interceded for him. The decision seems enigmatic, because he was a totally harmless person. Perhaps they read his poems… He died in 1987, two years before the fall of communism.
After some punk and rock bands Clarika met a Belgian fellow Jean-Jacques Nyssen, and together made her first album in 1993. And since then so on. Her music is an iverylike mix of rock, punk, folk, pop and traditional French chansons.
1. Les bavards 2. Avec luc 3. Ne me demande pas 4. Toi pour moi 5. Cher cousin 6. Deux anglaises 7. Heureux 8. La fille tu sais 9. Mas quis sont les gens 10. L’ocean des possibles (duet with Michel Jonasz. He also has Hungarian origin.) 11. We are the losers

Iggy Pop has made a special cover album 2 years before. His label refused to release it. They would have preferred that he does a rock album with popular punk songs because the money is rather in it, than in these old-fashioned melodies. This is a strange point of view because the original performers of his covers sold vast number of records. Finally the album called Aprés was released by himself in 2012.
Now you can listen to the original songs. There are 5 French chansons by Edith Piaf, Serge Gainsbourg, Henri Salvador, George Brassens and Joe Dassin. Originally those were recorded between 1946 and 1975. The oldest one is a Cole Porter song which was recorded in 1929.
Mr. Pop said about his work: “All popular music forms of today get their strength from the beat. The beats imitate the human heartbeat and that is where the power lies. But before the birth of the blues there was another form of popular song, in which the timing comes from the human breath and the feelings are much more about emotion. I’ve always loved this other feeling, one that is intimate, sometimes a little sad, and does not try to beat me on the head.”
1. Iggy Pop – Everybody’s Talkin (2012) 2. Joe Dassin – Et si tu n’existais pas (1975, right corner with newspaper) 3. Serge Gainsbourg – La javanaise (1962, above Dassin) 4. Harry Nilsson – Everybody’s Talkin (1969, sitting on a barrier) 5. Yoko Ono – I’m Going Away Smiling (2009, lying on a piano) 6. Edith Piaf – La vie en rose (1946, with accordeon) 7. George Brassens – Les passantes (1972, on the road) 8. Henri Salvador – Syracuse (1962, with guitar) 9. Cole Porter – What Is This Thing Called Love? (1929, performed by Leslie Hutchinson. Porter is sitting by a piano.) 10. Beatles – Michelle (1965, 4 backs) 11. Frank Sinatra – Only The Lonely (1958, like Jesus)
Not enough punk? Porter, Piaf, Brassens and Gainsbourg are among the greatest punks for ever.
