St. Vincent – Lithium

Thursday, time for a cover!

We continue our Pride week!

"Lithium" is a song by American rock band NIRVANA. It appears as the fifth track and third single from their second album "Nevermind" (1991). Written by frontman Kurt Cobain, the song is about a man who turns to religion amid thoughts of suicide. NIRVANA first recorded "Lithium" in 1990 but then re-recorded the song the following year for "Nevermind".

Released as the third single from "Nevermind" in July 1992, "Lithium" peaked at number 64 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also a number 1 hit in Finland and a top 5 hit in Ireland and Portugal. The accompanying music video, directed by Kevin Kerslake, is a montage of concert footage.

Annie Erin Clark (born September 28, 1982), known professionally as St. Vincent, is an American musician, singer, songwriter and producer. She began her music career as a member of the Polyphonic Spree. She was also a member of Sufjan Stevens's touring band before forming her own band in 2006. Her debut album is "Marry Me" (2007), followed by "Actor" (2009), "Strange Mercy" (2011), "St. Vincent" (2014), "Masseduction" (2017) and "Daddy's Home" (2021).

When asked during a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone whether she identified as gay or straight, Clark responded:

"I don't think about those words. I believe in gender fluidity and sexual fluidity. I don't really identify as anything. I think you can fall in love with anybody. I don't have anything to hide but I'd rather the emphasis be on music."

Later that year, in an interview with the UK's Sunday Times, Clark elaborated:

"I'm not one for gender or sexual absolutism in the main; I fully support and engage in the spectrum."

Clark was in a relationship with Cara Delevingne from late 2014 until mid-2016.

Clark's father, Richard Clark, was convicted of one count of conspiracy, seven counts of wire fraud, five counts of securities fraud, and one count of money laundering on May 3, 2010. According to the Department of Justice, Clark and co-conspirator, G. David Gordon, controlled and manipulated the stock of two Tulsa companies, Deep Rock Oil & Gas Inc., and Global Beverage Solutions Inc., and Glen Ellyn, Illinois-based National Storm Management Group Inc. The Justice Department said: "According to evidence presented at trial, Gordon and Clark executed the scheme by obtaining a majority of the free-trading shares of stock they intended to manipulate, using fraudulent and deceptive means to acquire the stock and/or remove the trading restrictions on the shares they obtained." On October 29, 2010, he was sentenced to 15 years, 8 months in prison. The album "Daddy's Home" was in part inspired by her father's eventual release from prison.

Today's tune "Lithium" is with members of NIRVANA, FOO FIGHTERS and St. Vincent perform "Lithium" at the 2014 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Foo Fighters - Concrete and Gold

Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

"Concrete and Gold", FOO FIGHTERS ninth studio album, released on September 15, 2017.

"Concrete and Gold" is FOOs most balanced record yet. It's a very well crafted album, both musically and emotionally, it's full of playfulness and seriousness. It's pretty easy to sink in to and very fun to listen to. The production is made by the pop merchant Greg Kurstin (ADELE, BECK, KELLY CLARKSON, SIA, PINK) adds a fresh and big atmosphere to the album without distorting the classic FOO sound, just a facelift.

"Concrete and Gold" is a 11 tunes long and clocks in to 48 minutes. Opens up softly with soulish tune "T-Shirt", a short love song before it takes it's next step to the punkish "Run", were the FOOs kick in your teeth, another punk bomber is "La Dee Da". The rocker "Make It Right" with Justin Timberlake's on backing vocals, he sings great in a already magic rocker. Acoustic guitars begins the half pace soul beauty "Dirty Water". On of the highlight is "The Sky Is a Neighborhood" a real stadium anthem. "There ain’t no superheroes now" sings Grohl in the BEATLES like "Happy Ever After (Zero Hour)", Jessy Greene plays some violin here. Another BEATLES like tune is "Sunday Rain", it even has Paul McCartney playing drums on it. "The Line" is great car rocker. The album closes up with the title tune, a PINK FLOYD alike beast.

Sum: They did it again!

Today's tune "The Sky Is A Neighborhood" is taken from "Concrete and Gold", enjoy!

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night

"In the Pines", also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "Black Girl", is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the 1870s, and is believed to be Southern Appalachian in origin. The identity of the song's author is unknown, but it has been recorded by many artists in numerous genres. Traditionally, it is most often associated with the American folk and blues musician LEAD BELLY, who recorded several versions in the 1940s, as well as the American bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, who helped popularize the song (in a different variant, featuring lyrics about a train) among bluegrass and country audiences with his versions recorded in the 1940s and 1950s.

The song, performed by THE FOUR PENNIES, reached the UK top twenty in 1964. A live rendering by the American grunge band NIRVANA, which reinterpreted LEAD BELLYs version and was recorded during their MTV Unplugged performance in 1993, helped introduce the song to a new generation.

Singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain was introduced to the song by fellow Seattle musician Mark Lanegan, and played guitar on a version on Lanegan's 1990 album, The Winding Sheet. Like Lanegan, Cobain usually screamed its final verse.

It is likely that Cobain referenced Lead Belly's 1944 Musicraft version for his interpretation of the song; Lanegan owned an original 78 rpm record of this version, and it is the one that Cobain's version most closely resembles in terms of lyrics, form and title. In a 2009 MTV article, Kurt Loder remembers discussing the song's title with Cobain, with Cobain insisting, "But the Leadbelly version is called 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night,'" and Loder preferring the "In the Pines" title used by Bill Monroe (as well as Lead Belly).

Cobain earned critical acclaim for his acoustic performance of the song during NIRVANAs MTV Unplugged appearance in 1993. Canadian musician Neil Young described Cobain's vocals during the final screamed verse as "Unearthly, like a werewolf, unbelievable." This version was originally sanctioned to be released as a b-side to the band's "Pennyroyal Tea" single in 1994, but the single was cancelled following Cobain's death in April 1994. It was posthumously released on the band's MTV Unplugged in New York album in November 1994, and as a promotional single from the album. In 2002 the song featured as a bonus track on NIRVANAs "best of" compilation album NIRVANA. A solo Cobain home demo, recorded in 1990, appears on the band's 2004 rarities box set, "With the Lights Out".

Enjoy today's tune!

Sturgill Simpson - In Bloom

Sturgill Simpson makes one small but significant addition to the lyrics in his soulful cover of NIRVANA's "In Bloom" — after each "don't know what it means," he chimes in with his own "to love someone." While that idea may be implied in Kurt Cobain's original, it's a distinction made all the more poignant by the fact that Simpson recorded the song and his new album A Sailor's Guide to Earth especially for his young son.

"I'm never going to make anything other than a country record," says Simpson about his album "A Sailor's Guide to Earth". "I wanted a song on the album to capture that awkward stage in every young boy's life where they are searching for their place in the world," Simpson tells Rolling Stone Country. "One night while discussing the album with my wife, she asked, 'Well, what were you listening to when you were 13?' I remember in seventh or eighth grade, when "Nevermind" dropped, it was like a bomb went off in my bedroom. For me, that song has always summed up what it means to be a teenager, and I think it tells a young boy that he can be sensitive and compassionate — he doesn't have to be tough or cold to be a man."

The video for "In Bloom" depicts that loneliness and confusion of youth with the same stylish animation that powers Simpson's "Brace for Impact" video. While a dagger-toothed, hairy monster swirls below, a young man (with a cannon barrel where his head should be) tentatively tries to navigate a rowboat across this troubled sea. As the song explodes into an optimistic cascade of horns, the boy discovers the way to vanquish the monster is not with angry cannon fire but by radiating love. It's a realization as transformative as Simpson's rendering of the song — beneath all Nirvana's hormonal agitation, there's a hopeful resolution.

John Sturgill Simpson (born June 8, 1978) is an American country music and roots rock singer-songwriter. To date he has released three albums as a solo artist. He released two albums independently, High Top Mountain in 2013 and Metamodern Sounds in Country Music in 2014. His second album is notable for being nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Americana Album. His third studio album, "A Sailor's Guide to Earth", was released on Atlantic Records and was Simpson's first major-label release, later earning him Best Country Album at the 59th Grammy Awards while also being nominated for Album of the Year.

Today's tune "In Bloom" is taken off Sturgill's new album - A Sailor's Guide To Earth. Directed By: Matt Mahurin. Written by NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain, the song addresses people outside of the underground music community who did not understand the band's message. Enjoy today's Thursday cover.

Nirvana - Come As You Are

Sunday, time for a classic.

"Come as You Are" is a song by American grunge band NIRVANA, written by frontman Kurt Cobain and released as the second single from the band's second studio album "Nevermind" in March 1992.

Tomorrow it's Kurt's 50 yrs birthday, so Happy Birthday Kurt.

The unexpected success of the album's lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" drew NIRVANA to mainstream success, with "Nevermind" being released two weeks after the single's release. Following the album's release, the band and its management company debated whether to release "Come as You Are" or "In Bloom" as the next single from the album due to Cobain's concerns over similarity of the former with the KILLING JOKE song "Eighties" (1984). After some persuasion by the management company, Cobain agreed to release "Come as You Are" as the second single because of its commercial potential. KILLING JOKE were upset over the song, and there were rumors that a lawsuit had been filed over the song, though the suit never materialized. KILLING JOKE guitarist Geordie Walker was said to be upset about the whole situation, and he felt that NIRVANA (which according to Walker denied the connection between the songs) handled the matter poorly.

The music video for "Come as You Are" was directed by Kevin Kerslake, who drew inspiration for it from the cover artwork of Nevermind. Rolling Stone ranked "Come as You Are" 445th on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and it placed 452nd on the 2010 edition of the list.

Kurt Cobain described this song as "About people, and what they're expected to act like."

The lyrics are intentionally contradictory and confusing, with one line rebutting the next:

"As a friend, as an old enemy"
"Take your time, hurry up"

In this song, Cobain sings over and over, "I don't have a gun." Less than three years after the song was released, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. This was an eerie turn of events, but it's unlikely that Cobain had suicide on his mind when he wrote the lyrics. The gun could be a reference to a time when Cobain's mother got mad at her husband (Kurt's stepfather) and threw his guns in a river. Cobain says he recovered some of them, sold them, and used the money to buy his first guitar when he was 15.

In 2005, a sign was put up in Aberdeen, Washington, Cobain's hometown, that reads "Welcome to Aberdeen: Come As You Are" as a tribute to Cobain. The sign was paid for and created by the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee, a non-profit organization created in May 2004 to honor Cobain. Founded by author Jeff Burlingame and Aberdeen City Councilman Paul Fritts, the Committee also plans to create a Kurt Cobain Memorial Park and a youth center in Aberdeen.

Melvins - Queen

Sunday, time for a classic.

"Stoner Witch" is the seventh album by MELVINS, which was released in 1994 through Atlantic Records.

In the wake of NIRVANAs "Nevermind" multi-platinum success, major labels scrambled to catch lightning in a bottle a second time by scooping up angular, but tuneful rock acts. Kurt Cobain had always described MELVINS as his favorite band, so Atlantic’s president Danny Goldberg who also managed NIRVANA decided to do his young protégés a solid by allowing MELVINS to essentially write their own ticket.

Hindsight shows how strange and uncompromising the resulting trilogy of albums on Atlantic—1993’s Houdini, 1994’s Stoner Witch and 1996’s Stag—actually were. In the current musical climate, there’s no way that a band like Melvins would be able to release another album with major label support after the hot mess that was Houdini, but Stoner Witch melded the hallmarks of the band’s earlier work (molten tempos, guitarist Buzz Osborne’s nonsensical lyrics) with a relatively radio-friendly ear towards arrangements.

In fact, Stoner Witch—the title springs from a term that drummer Dale Crover and his friends used to describe the stoner chicks at their high school—may be the most accessible record Melvins ever wrote. Although the term “accessible” is strictly relative, because, along with the megaton riffs of bona fide radio singles “Queen” and “Revolve,” there’s a host of indefatigably bizarre—and much looser—alternate-universe jukebox staples like the Tom Waits/Birthday Party homage “Goose Freight Train” and the droning epic “At the Stake.”

The band spent 19 days recording Stoner Witch with Garth “GGGarth” Richardson and Joe Barresi at the legendary A&M Studios in Hollywood. Most of the songs were captured in a single take, and all of the tracking and mastering was completed in a single, continuous session. Stoner Witch was the first time MELVINS had the luxury of recording in a massive studio, and the trio relished the opportunity to cycle through a ton of gear, tinker with tunings and explore the dramatic effect that an acoustically perfect space had on a series of very ugly-sounding compositions.

The full story can be read at Decibel Magazine, here!

MELVINS are an American rock band that formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington. They have mostly performed as a trio, as well as a quartet with two drummers in recent years. Since 1984, vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover have been constant members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name. Their early work was key to the development of both grunge and sludge metal.

“There are bands that like to hide behind volume,” explains Crover. “They aren’t very good, but they’re fucking loud! We were pretty fucking loud back then, but we definitely weren’t hiding.” The basic concept behind Melvins remains true to this day: You’re either with them or you’re against them. There is no middle ground.

Beware of Darkness - Are You Real?

Monday, New week and it's time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

BEWARE OF DARKNESS is a bold new power band with an old soul, pissed at life in the modern age. They are ready to frighten your children, sleep with your daughters, and make you shake, scream, and contort like it's a Depression-era, Southern exorcism.

To follow up the 2013 debut album "Orthodox" with it's explosive introduction of classic rock with ZEPPELIN-esqe guitar riffs and emotionally raw lyrics, at that time they got the stamp as the next big thing, now that the smoke has settled, they return with something decidedly newer and shinier.

They still play fast moving rock tunes with exploding key and rhythm changes mid-song. But "Are You Real?" have some more sexed-up pop approach. A bit far out, crazy and very melodic and groovy. The album is more to the broader mass of audience, I could say ARTIC MONKEYS, ROYAL BLOOD and even THE STRUTS.

Lets say if you take happy and popish BEATLES, stir it up with a drum machine and throw in the chaotic parts of DAVID BOWIE and THE DOORS flushed thru a coffee filter, stamped THE WHO, where the beans is delivered from T-REX but made by LED ZEPPELIN then you can imagine BEWARE OF DARKNESS "Are You Real?"

The album kicks of with the obvious single "Motherfucka", a far out, heavy piece of music where the riffs and rhythms will grab you by the balls until the album moves on with "Blood, Sex, Violence & Murder", a more modern Ghostbuster vibe. The 3:rd track is the slinky and swirly "Dope", until here you have gotten so many different way to present a tune that you start to wonder if this is still is the same band. Tunes like "Summerdaze" and "Sugar in the Raw" follows the same path, with the same approach as "Dope". "Surrender" is one of the more deeper cuts on the album with it's more straight forward rock touch with fat choruses.  The title track starts with a doomish "CANDLEMASS" riff until ARTIC MONKEYS knocks on the door. "Beware" and "Delirium" are the albums more slower parts, here the band gears down, step back and keeps in the craziness.


Summary: A rambunctious rocker with a psychedelic pop attitude, powerful hooks and groovy sound will appeal to any wide open ear music lover.

Today's tune "Muthafucka", taken from the new album "Are You Real?", Enjoy!

Ume - Black Stone

Girls, Girls, Girls (female fronted), yeah that's this week's theme. This week we play female fronted rock bands. And yes, there is a lot of excellent bands out there that have a female behind the mick. I like it, it gives the sound a different approach if it's compared to a male fronted act. Anyway, let's get into today's band.

UME, is an Austin, TX trio. UME has grown a following the old-fashioned way, hitting the road in a broken van and ecstatically playing every show as if it were their last. The unrelenting and impassioned force that has made UME an acclaimed live band has finally been captured on a beautiful and massive record called "Monuments" (where we find today's tune).

The album has been recorded with Grammy-winning producer Adam Kasper (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, CAT POWER, FOO FIGHTERS, NIRVANA) at Robert Lang Studios and Studio X in Seattle, WA.

"Monuments" is UMEs most colossal sounding recording yet. The guitars are heavier, the rhythms more powerful, the vocals and songwriting bolder and more intimate. It's simply a distorted raw garage guitar-driven rock with unbridled passion!

UME Consists of:

Lauren LL (guitar/vocals)
Eric Larson (bass)
Aaron Perez (drums)

Today's tune "Black Stone" from Ume's latest album "Monuments". The Video is Directed and edited by Justin Wilson, Director of Photography: Jake Wilganowski, Producer: Sierra Sintic, Paint, projection & 2nd camera: Tramaine Townsend, 2nd camera: Tony Wann, PA: Sean Dylan, Billy Cramer, Connor Adams, Featured extras: Katie Phelan, Vera Sch

Ghost - Secular Haze

Ghost is a Swedish heavy metal band, formed in Linköping in 2008. In 2010 they released a 3-track demo, followed by a 7" vinyl titled "Elizabeth", and eventually their debut full-length album Opus Eponymous. The Grammis-nominated album was widely praised and increased their popularity significantly.

Ghost are easily recognizable due to their eccentric on-stage presence, five of the group's six members wear hooded robes, while the vocalist appears in a skull mask and a cardinal outfit, and highly secretive nature of their identities, with the members being referred to as "Nameless Ghouls". Musically, the band is often compared to groups such as Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster Cult, Mercyful Fate, and Witchfinder General.

On December 15, 2012, Ghost performed a special show in their hometown of Linköping. There they debuted the new song that was released online for free earlier that day, entitled "Secular Haze". The same show debuted the successor to the band's frontman, Papa Emeritus, known as Papa Emeritus II; believed to be the same person simply playing a new character. Ghost will release a second full length album, entitled "Infestissumam", in the spring of 2013.

Track listing of "Infestissumam":

1. INFESTISSUMAM
2. PER ASPERA AD INFERI
3. SECULAR HAZE
4. JIGOLO HAR MEGIDDO
5. GHULEH / ZOMBIE QUEEN
6. YEAR ZERO
7. IDOLATRINE
8. BODY AND BLOOD
9. DEPTH OF SATAN’S EYES
10. MONSTRANCE CLOCK

Todays tune "Secular Haze" is taken from the upcoming second full-length album "Infestissumam". It will be released in spring 2013 on Loma Vista Recordings and is set to be produced by Nick Raskulinecz. The B-side on the 10" has a cover of ABBA's tune "I'm a Marionette", featuring Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters on drums as well as production.



Ghost live at Cupolen in Linköping, Sweden, where the throne of Papa Emeritus I was usurped by Papa Emeritus II at the end of Genesis. The ritual was followed by a live premiere of the new track Secular Haze from the forthcoming album "Infestissumam".

Soundgarden - Live to Rise

 

Soundgarden made a place for heavy metal in alternative rock. Soundgarden was formed in Seattle, Washington in 1984 by singer Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto.

Soundgarden was one of the seminal bands in the creation of grunge, a style of alternative rock that developed in Seattle, and was one of a number of grunge bands signed to the record label Sub Pop. Soundgarden was the first grunge band to sign to a major label (A&M Records, in 1988), though the band did not achieve commercial success until they popularized "grunge" in the early 1990s with Seattle contemporaries Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam.

Soundgarden achieved its biggest success with the 1994 album Superunknown, with singles like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman". In 1997, the band broke up due to internal strife over its creative direction. After several years working on projects and other bands, Soundgarden reunited in 2010 and is currently working on a new album, which is slated for release in the spring of 2012.

Soundgarden - Classic Album Selection, the band's new classic album box set, will be released in Europe on May 21st! Contains original A&M recordings of Louder Than Love, Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, and Down on the Upside. Also includes last year's live record of the band's 1996 West Coast tour - Live on I-5. Note: Only available in Europe.

Soundgarden will headline the Friday night of the Hard Rock Calling Festival in July 2012. They will also be playing at Download Festival in June 2012 in Donington, England and at the Sweden Rock Festival, Sweden.

Todays tune "Live to Rise" is including on the soundtrack of the new movie The Avengers, based on the franchise by Marvel Comics. The song marks the first newly recorded song that the band have released since reforming in 2010.

David Garrett - Peer Gynt

This great Violinist came to Sweden last week, his skill with his hands were fantastic. I was totally amazed, one tune really got to me, it was a tune from Jimi Hendrix it was awesome!!!

Garret plays all kinda music, all from Peer Gynt stop by at Nirvana and Led Zeppelin to Metallica and he does it good. And on the top of it he is handsome as well :D He and his musicians had a good time under the gig, doing jokes and laughed a lot.

The tune Ive choosed for today is one of my favorites when I was a child, I loved Edward Grieg tunes, all from "Spring" to this Peer Gynt, I know it as "Berga Kungens Sal" or Mountain Kings Hall in English. Peer Gynt, Op. 23 is the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name, written by the Norwegian composer Grieg in
1875.

On the 4th of November Garret released his new album "Legacy" its a Beethoven album.

Here are some pics I took,

I also took a video, that I have to get in here at a later time.

Ladys and Gents here he is, David Garret!

Love, Thetania
