Je relaye parce que lien passe un peu inaperçu sur les pages de last.fm, le site propose un classement du meilleur de la musique de 2008 basé sur ce que les gens (enfin bon, les utilisateurs de last.fm, majoritairement des Américains) ont écouté plutôt que acheté cette année:
Elliott Smith ne m'a pas laché. Son génie est mon meilleur ennemi:
Singing Kathy's clown
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed
So she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
Now she's done, and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
'Cos I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Can't you tell that it's well understood?
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm here today, expect it to stay on, and on, and on
I'm tired, I'm tired
Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO Mom
It's OK, it's alright, nothing's wrong
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
To just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
De retour. Tout simplement.
(ou: "vous ne verrez plus jamais Sean Connery comme avant").
Bon, aujourd'hui je vois passer ça:
Et depuis les questions s'enchaînent. Entre autres: le maillot de Borat était-il un hommage à ce film inconnu mais néanmoins (99% sûr) mythique?
...une petite chanson du matin. Elliot Smith est LE songwritter. Period. Le problème c'est qu'on se laisse aveugler pendant six mois par Between the Bars et après on se rend compte que l'album est bourré de gemmes, du genre:
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up months ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
And feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows and you see how it is
They want you or they don't
Say yes
I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
Titre court, note courte. Je suis allé voir Ratatouille avec mon fils hier. Tout simplement le meilleur film de Pixar à ce jour. Animation à couper le souffle, film poétique, subtil. Le film capture aussi quelque chose de Paris, de la France, d'une certaine façon hexagonale d'être qui m'a rendu un brin nostalgique. A voir sans hésitation.
Gros cartons de MGMT et d'Coldplay !!! read more
