50 years of Ziggy Stardust

"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" was released 50 years ago.

Songs included in this remarkable album, influenced hundreds of bands.

We can say with no doubt that artists and bands like Peter Murphy, Bauhaus, Pixies, Pulp, Placebo, Gary Numan, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, would never be the same or even exist without this album.

Julee

And sometimes we almost forget the ones we love most. Julee Cruise is gone. Angels never go to Hollywood is the only post I've ever made with Julee Cruise. 15 years ago.

Julee was fighting against her health problems long ago, maybe one of the reasons why she's been away from the public. Julee's sweet and smooth voice became known worldwide after Angelo Badalamenti suggested her to David Lynch to sing their movie songs. Twin Peaks became a big success and a cult classic. We cannot imagine Twin Peaks without Julee's voice. So long, Julee.

the ultimate damage

so fucking beautiful

and ... Wizz.

Angel Olsen: her brand new album and some takes live at Lisbon on 2015

So Angel Olsen just released her new album "Big Time" and this movie with a little story and 4 of its songs. I've selected the one I like most, the last one, "Through The Fires":

Stepping back, I'd love to show again her visit to Lisbon on 2015, this time with her band on September 8, the concert on the day before to the one I've shown here on this previous post.
That concert took place at the gardens of Palace Sinel de Cordes:

 

Again, I'm not showing all the songs but, as usual, everyone can drag the playhead across the scrubber bar and watch the rest.
"Stars", from Angel's second album "Burn Your Fire for No Witness" released on 2014:

"Acrobat", from "Half Way Home" (2012):

"Forgiven/Forgotten" (Burn Your Fire for No Witness - 2014), "Give It Up" (My Woman - 2016), "Sweet Dreams" and "Tougher Than the Rest" released much later on 2017, album "Phases", "Lota" (2014) :

And finally, "Miranda" ("Half Way Home" - 2012):


These videos were recorded by Luís Dias who had this great idea of keeping the memory of such great moments.
Have a nice weekend :)

Angel Olsen live at Lisbon on 2015

On the day of 9 of Septembre 2015, a girlie and funny Angel Olsen gave this very intimist concert a solo.
I've selected "Heart Shaped Face" released on 2016 and "Unfucktheworld" released on 2014. But, as usual, you can drag the playhead across the scrubber bar and enjoy this amazing show entirely.
