RUFFUS - eighties coming back

Seguimos con ausencia de novedades de interés así que rescatamos algo ...digamos que peculiar.

Festival de Eurovisión de 2003...si, si...habeis leido bien, Festival de Eurovisión de 2003. Representando a Estonia una banda de cinco tipos con una estética muy de los 80 (comin back, claro está) con una cancioncilla con estribillo pop que se engancha a la primera. No se en que posición quedó pero se merecía haber ganado. Es la recomendación del POPCHEF para este fin de semana

 

GIGOLO AUNTS - everything is wrong

Sigo sin escuchar nada llamativo en las últimas últimas novedades que oigo así que de nuevo recupero un clásico, un temazo, un pophit. Ayer por la noche la escuché en un bar y no he podido resistirme a oirla de nuevo esta mañana. Esta es una versión que hicieron en Madrid en su gira de hace mas de un año. En la gira de despedida...

Una maravilla de canción.

DEL AMITRI - now where it´s at

Varias semanas sin oir ninguna "novedad" que me llame la atención, con lo que el popchef rescata esta maravillosa canción de DEL AMITRI de hace varios años. No es una de mis bandas favoritas pero esta canción es, sin duda, una  de mis canciones preferidas de toda la vida. Todo un hit.

JUNEBUG

 

Banda de Gales y esto se dice de ellos en su myspace:

"Junebug are a 3 piece power pop band from Abergele, Wales. Influenced by vintage guitar rock and pop music. "

Escuchando su último disco se puede decir de todo excepto que son una banda de powerpop. Hacen bonito y agradable pop.

Han publicado 5 discos a los que han llamado consecutivamente "first", "second"...imaginativos que son.

"no solution" es una perfectpopsong que recomienda el POPCHEF

MIKE VIOLA

Este es el tipo que puso la voz al cantante de THE WONDERS en la peli. Además ha hecho varios discos con su banda The candybutchers.

"Lurch" es su último disco y "the strawberry blonde" es todo un pophit. Recomendada por el POPCHEF

DULCES PARA EL FIN DE SEMANA

Son tres recomendaciones para endulzar el fin de semana. Recien salidas de la pasteleríapop del POPCHEP

CORONET BLUE: looks like love

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=6be5e9f

Para ser una banda donde están gente como Mitch Easter o Jamie Hoover (Spongetones) no suena nada a powerpop. Esta canción tiene un sonido dulce, "mainstream" si quereis, con un "tufillo" incluso a simply red o a eurythmics (hay que oir la armónica para ver esa relación). La verdad es que la cancioncilla me tiene enganchado toda la semana.

 

MOCCA: the best thing

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=bb79a71

Disco del año para el blog de 360º de separación y eso que son de Indonesia. Mas dulzura pop para el finde.

 

BEACHFIELD: one way ticket

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=9dbf9de

Batería en su día de los Go Betweens. Esta bonita canción se esconde en su disco.

Proximamente...

THE KEYS

 

En las últimas visitas a mi enlazado blog ANTIROCK he observado las reseñas a dos bandas de fines de los 70 donde primaba el sonido new wave y powerpop. UTOPIA y THE RUBINOOS son dos muy buenos ejemplos. Al hilo de esto, el blog del POPCHEF también va a rescatar a una banda de aquella época.

Se trata de THE KEYS y todo ello viene a colación ya que  en el cada vez mas numeroso foro PPA (ya hay mas de 210 inscritos) se ha acordado el otorgar el carácter de "himno" ( la dichosa palabrita está de moda) del foro a una canción 10, a saber: "i don´t wanna cry" de THE KEYS. Así, va a sonar en cada una de las fiestas, "saraos" o conciertos que se organicen (ya sonó con posterioridad al concierto de Primary 5). La eleccion ha sido por abrumadora mayoría.

THE KEYS fueron una banda "maldita" de finales de los 70 y solo editaron varios singles y un lp, producido por Joe Jackson, que es todo un clásico para los que degustan del sonido nuevaolero. Si no lo teneis, aqui os lo podeis bajar. Un disco que recomienda al 100 % el POPCHEF.

NUSHU

 

NUSHU: lengua antigua que usaban las mujeres chinas

Pues bien, estas dos son californianas y bajo el nombre de NUSHU acaban de publicar un disco que a primera escucha recuerda a The muffs. Eso si, su cantante no tiene la voz tan "ronca".

Estas dos canciones son las recomendadas por el POPCHEF:

"spill" sirve para abrir el disco y te contagia a la primera.

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=47027ba

"reach for me", en tiempos mas pausados y con bonita melodía

THREE HOUR TOUR

han vuelto cuando ya parecían disueltos y con los amigos de siempre (Adam schmitt, velvet crush).

El POPCHEF recomienda estas dos canciones del disco:

"a girl that i once knew" es un baladón al mas puro estilo matthew sweet.

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=ea2768b

"i wanted you around", como sacada de cualquier disco de velvet crush

ICE CREAM HANDS

Esta banda australiana ya veterana ha hecho el mejor disco de 2007 para D. Bash.

Para mi las mejores canciones del disco son:

everything you are

this is what i want (en mi lista de canciones favoritas de ynpm)

come along

say that you want...

LA LISTA MAS ESPERADA-DAVID BASH

Como cada año la supermegalista de David Bash es esperada con impaciencia por los lectores y particpantes de audities. Como siempre con diferentes apartados (cd, eps, reediciones, compilaciones, parejas, etc..). Lo que yo dudo mucho es que se pueda oir todos esos discos al cabo del año...¿o si?.

Y este año los ganadores son....

 ah! y con lucky soul en el puesto 102!!!

Hi Everyone,

I've been listening, re-listening, and re-re-re listening to many of these
discs, and checking out albums from 2007 which I didn't find until 2008, and
I've finally reached the point of diminishing returns.  So, without further
ado, here are my lists.  Enjoy, if you dare!
--
Lists Rule!!!!!
Take Care,
David

EL BLOG DEL POPCHEF

El POPCHEF (si, con mayúsculas) se ha blogeado

Para que veais que os  hago caso ya estoy en el planeta blog. así que a partir de ahora todas las recomendaciones POPCHEF verán la luz a traves de esta ventanablog.

Y para empezar...MARK & THE SPIES y todo un hit "but i do" con una estética que recuerda mucho a la peli THE WONDERS

Y esta canción "this heart for another",  que la podeis oir en su my space y que recuerda y mucho al éxito albiniano "heartache" de Ian Gomm"   

Son las dos primeras recomendaciones (grandes canciones, sin duda) del popchef...veremos cuanto dura...
