kickass grrrls

The L7 is mostly a punk band and its grrrls keep on kicking ass after 38 years. Here's their freaking awesome performance for an audience of 15.000 people in Punk Rock Bowling 2018, downtown Las Vegas. I selected Fast and Frightening but, be my guest and enjoy the whole concert :)

Little Trouble Girl

Both Kims, Kim Gordon and Kim Deal, wrote and performed this very girlie song with Gordon's band Sonic Youth in 1995, when Deal's band was The Amps and she was taking a break from the Breeders and especially the Pixies.

Song to the Siren, a song of a generation

... or should I say a song of generations?
Here's the most known version of the Song to the Siren:

It was firstly known 40 years ago, after the releasing of the stunning cover by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins for the British music collective This Mortal Coil in September 1983. Here's a previous version performed live by the Cocteau Twins:

The song was made by Tim Buckley (Jeff's father) over a poem from his friend Larry Beckett and firstly broadcasted 55 years ago, on March 25, 1968, in the final episode of The Monkees TV show. It was only released much later, in 1970 in Tim's album Starsailor.

After This Mortal Coil's version, Song to the Siren became a cult song included in many movie soundtracks like the David Lynch's Lost Highway and finally, it was covered by more than 60 artists, including John Frusciante, Sinéad O'Connor, Bryan Ferry, Robert Plant...
And also Larry Beckett, the writer of the poem, recorded a version with The Long Lost Band, presented in 2016.

Lost In Translation and Alone In Kyoto 20 years ago

Alone In Kyoto was composed and performed by Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, the French electronic music duo Air for the amazing soundtrack of the bittersweet movie Lost In Translation.

Björk 35 years ago

Yes, she gave us a wonderful concert in Lisbon yesterday, September 1st. Yes, she released her first album 30 years ago. However, I'd love to remember her 35 years ago when Sugarcubes started and also rewatch her prodigious imagination. I'm talking about Björk, an artist who started to build her career, at least since she started talking, I guess...

Deus. And Coldsweat:
