one of these days I'll make some money

and buy myself those things that I want:

acrylic paints, acoustic guitar strings, a new bicycle seat

for my ride over to your house each night

and one of these days I'll get a real job

one that actually pays

like my dad had

you know my father, the bartender

used to wear a suit to work

before he hit the drink,

the old man used to do a lot of things

one of these days I'll give up

and give in to the man

"Canción de amor de la joven loca" - Sylvia Plath (1951)

2011-08-17T23:44:00.000-07:00

Cierro mis ojos y el mundo cae muerto;

Levanto mis párpados y todo nace otra vez.

(Pienso que en mi cabeza te inventé.)

Las estrellas salen tranquilas en azul y rojo,

Y arbitrarias galopan en la oscuridad:

Cierro mis ojos y el mundo cae muerto.

Soñé que me embrujaste en la cama

Y lunático me cantabas, me besabas con locura.

(Pienso que en mi cabeza te inventé.)

Dios cae del cielo, los fuegos del infierno se desvanecen:

Se retiran los serafines y los soldados de Satán:

Cierro mis ojos y el mundo cae muerto.

Imaginé que volverías como dijiste:

Pero envejezco y me olvido de tu nombre.

(Pienso que en mi cabeza te inventé.)

Debería haber amado a un pájaro de trueno en tu lugar;

Al menos cuando llega la primavera ellos rugen otra vez.

Cierro mis ojos y el mundo cae muerto.

(Pienso que en mi cabeza te inventé.)

Mad Girl's Love Song

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;/ I lift my lids and all is born again./ (I think I made you up inside my head.)// The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,/ And arbitrary blackness gallops in:/ I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.// I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed/ And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane./ (I think I made you up inside my head.)// God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:/ Exit seraphim and Satan's men:/ I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.// I fancied you'd return the way you said,/ But I grow old and I forget your name./ (I think I made you up inside my head.)// I should have loved a thunderbird instead;/ At least when spring comes they roar back again./ I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead./ (I think I made you up inside my head.)//

As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself.

A medida que pase el tiempo, comprenderás. Lo que dura, dura; lo que no, no. El tiempo resuelve la mayor parte de las cosas. Y lo que el tiempo no puede resolver, tienes que resolverlo tú mismo.

I

Ya no es mágico el mundo. Te han dejado.
Ya no compartirás la clara luna
ni los lentos jardines. Ya no hay una
luna que no sea espejo del pasado,

cristal de soledad, sol de agonías.
Adiós las mutuas manos y las sienes
que acercaba el amor. Hoy sólo tienes
la fiel memoria y los desiertos días.

Nadie pierde (repites vanamente)
sino lo que no tiene y no ha tenido
nunca, pero no basta ser valiente

para aprender el arte del olvido.
Un símbolo, una rosa, te desgarra
y te puede matar una guitarra.

II

Ya no seré feliz. Tal vez no importa.
Hay tantas otras cosas en el mundo;
un instante cualquiera es más profundo
y diverso que el mar. La vida es corta

y aunque las horas son tan largas, una
oscura maravilla nos acecha,
la muerte, ese otro mar, esa otra flecha
que nos libra del sol y de la luna

y del amor. La dicha que me diste
y me quitaste debe ser borrada;
lo que era todo tiene que ser nada.

Sólo que me queda el goce de estar triste,
esa vana costumbre que me inclina
al Sur, a cierta puerta, a cierta esquina.

We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with you trapped, locked in it.

Todos vivimos en una casa en llamas, sin bomberos a los que llamar; sin salida, sólo la ventana del piso de arriba para mirar hacía afuera mientras el fuego consume la casa contigo dentro, atrapado.

There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ people. Some are a little better or a little worse but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice. A blindness to what is going on in each other’s hearts.

No hay "buenas" o "malas" personas. Algunos son un poco mejor o un poco peor pero todos son activados más por mal entendimiento que malicia. Una ceguera hacía lo que está pasando en los corazones de los demás.

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her

It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Frank O'Hara - Animals (1950)

2011-07-11T23:32:00.000-07:00

Have you forgotten what we were like then

when we were still first rate

and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth

it's no use worrying about Time

but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves

and turned some sharp corners

the whole pasture looked like our meal

we didn't need speedometers

we could manage cocktails out of ice and water

I wouldn't want to be faster

or greener than now if you were with me O you

were the best of all my days

12. Each And Every Day 13. When I'm With You (Bonus Track)

Melodías Noise-Pop que evocan el espíritu más playero de los Beach Boys, con letras despojadas de cualquier pretensión, simples y directas, honestas hasta la ingenuidad. Como cuando uno se enamora por primera vez y nada puede destruirte. Crazy For You es un disco entrañable que te enrola un pito, te da la manito y camina a tu lado por la costa en una tarde de sol. O que ve pelis contigo, acurrucados entre las frazadas, hasta dormirse. Te apaña, ¿cachai?.

And nothing makes me happy/

Not even T.V or a bunch of weed/

Everytime you leave this house, everything falls apart

If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn’t we really be talking about parallel realities? And if there are parallel realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it’s as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can’t explain his to us, and we can’t explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication … and there is the real illness.

Si la realidad difiere de persona en persona, podemos hablar de realidad singular, ¿o realmente deberíamos estar hablando de realidades paralelas? Y si hay realidades paralelas, ¿son algunas más auténticas (más reales) que otras? ¿Qué pasa con el mundo de un esquizofrénico? Quizás es tan real como el nuestro. Tal vez no podemos decir que nosotros estamos en contacto con la realidad y él no, si no que deberíamos decir, Su realidad es tan diferente a la nuestra que no puede explicárnosla, y nosotros no podemos explicarle la nuestra a él. El problema, entonces, es que si mundos subjetivos son experimentados de formas demasiado diferentes, ocurre ahí un fallo en la comunicación... y esa es la verdadera enfermedad.

Nick Cave se estaba aburriendo de rozar lo rutinario durante el proceso de creación de sus últimos discos con los Bad Seeds. Cambió el piano por la guitarra, invitó a tres de las malas semillas (Warren Ellis, Martin Casey y Jim Sclavunos) a hacer ruido con él y volvió a sus raíces. Aunque el espigado jovencito de pelo desordenado y aullido feroz de The Birthday Party y el Nick con bigotito de Grinderman son distintas bestias el espíritu sigue siendo el mismo. Crudo, intenso, oscuro y enloquecido.

I changed the sheets on my bed/

I combed the hairs across my head/

I sucked in my gut and still she said that she just didn't want to

10. Nickel song

Además de marcar el fin de la trilogía anglosajona iniciada por Frozen Pool el 2001, seguida el 2004 por Foreign Land, Continental 62 es una cumbre dentro de la discografía de Christina. Coinciden también con la publicación del disco el quiebre de su relación con el escritor español Ray Loriga y su regreso desde Nueva York a Madrid. Cuando en la canción que da nombre al disco canta Farewell kaleidoscope girl, I'm off with tomorrow's flight/ Your grace was mine for a while but who can stand to your height? parece estar despidiéndose de toda una etapa. En tiempos en los que el rock vende su alma por éxito, ella ha vendido el éxito a cambio de su alma, dice su ex al presentarla antes de una conversación en su programa Carta Blanca. Y es que Rosenvinge se deja llevar por la intuición, se desliza gatuna al borde del desgarro y no se ciñe a fórmula alguna a la hora de componer. Cobijada por la muralla sónica de Steve Shelley y Lee Ranaldo susurra sobre amor y desamor. Sus canciones son historias de dulce y perturbadora inocencia. Un disco melancólico, intimista, en un lánguido trance etéreo a veces y otras a punto de perder la razón.

En cada despedida nace la eternidad

Mientras su guitarra llora gentil, Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co.) aúlla verdades tan intensas que el corazón se siente incendiar. Hay en su cruda honestidad cierta desesperanza que no podría ser *sólo* oscura. Hay más de un matiz de negro, y existe también el gris. Every love is your best love and every love is your last love and every kiss is a goodbye, sentencia en Coxcomb Red. Cuenta historias de sobrevivencia y desesperación. Desnuda lo predatorio, lo salvaje del amor. There’s nothing beyond hope, dice, And there ain’t nothing beyond truth.

Want my last look to be the moon in your eyes/

Want my heart to brake, if it must brake, in your jaws/

Want you to lick my blood off your paws

7. All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast 8. Invocation Of Ratiocination

9. Faith/Void

Con oscuro humor Bill logra, en este su 2do disco como solista, interpretar la desazón del desamor desnudo de prejuicios y alarmismos. Es suave y calmo el océano, infinito hasta donde puede ver. Un pez lo hará llorar si decide marcharse, pero las lágrimas no caerán para siempre. Su voz de barítono a lo Johnny Cash entrega profunda intimidad a sus versos, ingeniosos y precisos en su terrible y hermosa sabiduría. I used to be darker/ Then I got lighter/ Then I got dark again. No es cualquier sensiblero bien adiestrado al hablar del desgarro. No lloriquea y en sus canciones la majadería emocional ni se asoma. No es un inexperto, no es un primerizo, es un hombre que afronta cada historia sabiendo que nada nunca se termina. Sus letras delatan cicatrices. La certeza de lo relativo en toda relación y vida humana le permite no sólo exponer frente a nosotros su tambaleante corazón, sino también la capacidad que tiene de seguir latiendo incluso después del fin del mundo. Un hombre valiente en cuyas letras se refleja una búsqueda de sentido que aunque imposible de satisfacer, parece haberlo puesto frente a frente a algunas verdades a las que sólo la terca persistencia de quien no tiene miedo a aceptar que camina hacía ningún lugar podría llevarte. Se puede vivir sin casi todo.

Well, I used to be sort of blind/ Now I can sort of see

Se sabe que a Alison Mosshart y Jaime Hince los une un lazo que al conocerse los ató con tanta fuerza que su química puede sacar chispas al estar juntos sobre el escenario. En este, su primer disco, y durante la gira que siguió a su lanzamiento, eso se puede comprobar empíricamente. Las chispas casi pueden traspasar tus oídos al escucharlos, desearías estar entre el público al verlos tocar en vivo. Cantan los dos entregados a una fervorosa dinámica hombre-mujer sobre un garage-rock enraizado en el blues, de guitarra reiterativa y eficaz como una ametralladora. Sucios, sexuales y febriles en su constante diatriba terrible sobre las relaciones amorosas. Sudorosos, ruidosos y con mucha onda. Además de ser Alison Mosshart una mujer endemoniadamente guapa sobre el escenario. Si no me crean véanla acá (0:57) junto a Jack White en The Dead Weather.

Además: I Call It Art, una versión libre que hacen VV y Hotel de la canción de Serge Gainsbourg y Jane Birkin 'La Chanson de Slogan'.
