Ipso Facto @ Proud Gallery
JUGEMテーマ:音楽

Ipso Facto

 That was fifth or sixth in eight months.I'm quite big fan actually as you know.well,I don't like that venue,Proud Gallery,very much.Its stage is too wide.and also I think its charge is quite expensive as comparing with other venues. but it's okay that I can see Ipso Facto. I was not interested in the front act.They were not good.So I'm writing about only Ipso Facto.
 at hat night,they were wearing black from top to toe as usual and all of them painted their lips with black lipstick. Samantha's died her hair black. Although I usually take their pictures on Samantha's side,I took them on Cherish's side at this time. I thought It was a bit more fresh than usually. Anyway they were much darker than before. Their performance has been getting better as well.I knew that,because they played at one of the biggest festival,Glastonbury Festival this year.I think that was good experience for them.They played a few new songs from forthcoming album.One of them was a kind of same taste of they've been playing,however another one was quite different from that they used to play. That was a kind of pops,I mean,that song was very pop and catchy. I was surprised with that song. I don't know how their debut album will be,yet. Only thing I can do is just waiting for their first album.I'm really looking forward to it.
 Before first album is released,their second single will be released on 4th August.It will be one sided single and very limited,they announced.


 これが8ヶ月の間で5回目か6回目。皆さんご存じのとおり、僕は本当に結構すごいファンだ。で、僕はこのヴェニュー、Proud Galleryがあまり好きではない。ステージは横長過ぎるし、他のヴェニューとかと比べてもチャージが結構高い気がする。でも、Ipso Factoを観れれば、まぁ、良いかな。フロントアクトには興味がなかったし、彼等は良くなかったので、Ipso Factoのみについて書いてみる。
 その夜は、彼女達はみんないつものように全身黒を身につけ、全員黒い口紅を塗っていた。Samanthaは髪を真っ黒に染めてた。僕は大抵サマンサの側から写真を撮るのだけど、今回はチェリッシュの方から撮った。それはいつもより少しだけ新鮮に感じた。とにかく、彼女達は以前よりもずっと暗くなっていた。彼女達のパフォーマンスも良くなっていた。そりゃそうだ、彼女達はもっとも大きなフェスの一つ、グラストンベリーで演ったのだから、今年。それは彼女達にとってすごく良い経験だったのだと思う。これからでるアルバムから2曲くらい新曲をやった。そのひとつは彼女達がこれまでやってきたようなテイストのものだったけれど、別の曲がそれまでやっていたのと結構違うテイストの曲で、それはポップな、そう、とてもポップでキャッチーな曲だった。これには驚かされた。デビューアルバムがどのようなものになるのかはまだわからない。僕にできるのはそのファーストアルバムを待つことだけ。本当に待ち遠しい。
 そのファーストアルバムが出る前に、彼女達のセカンドシングルが8月4日にリリースされる。片面のみでかなりの限定ということです。

Cajun Dance Party
Cajun Dance Party



I saw Cajun Dance Party's gig the day before yesterday. I liked them very much.But recently I'm not really interested in them. Because they've got too much money.From my point of view,I think many bands which got much money would be getting worse.I think it's a kind of theory. I'm always disappointed with them. I'm scared lots of money. I know money is important though,but if they got too much money,they would be changed unfortunatly.
Cajun Dance Party was still good,but I felt something strange about the vocalist.I thought his performance was too much rock star or someone. Does he want to be a BIG? I don't know why many bands want to be BIG? I think they should do what they want. I know it's very difficult nowadays, however I really want them to do the right thing.
the guitarist was amazing. He was playing the guitar with good emotion and his emotion inside is came out while he was playing the guitar. I like his performance.I think he can make any records by himself like Albert Hammond Jr. from The Strokes.
Anyway their gig was quite good. I'm going to see their gig on October at ULU. Actually I want to see them at smaller venue though.I think it's imposible now.

 一昨日、Cajun Dance Partyを観に行った。彼等は凄い好きだったのだけれど、ここ最近はそんなに入れ込んでは居なかった。だって彼等凄い大金を手にしちゃったから。個人的には、大金を手にした多くのバンドは大抵良くなくなると思っている。これはお決まりなんじゃないかと思う。なんでみんなお金持ちになったらダメになるんだろう?大金って恐ろしい。いつも失望させられる。もちろんお金って大事だけれど、でも、お金を手にすると大抵変わっちゃう、残念ながら。
 Cajun Dance Partyはまだ良かった。それでもボーカルの子に違和感を覚えたのも確か。彼のパフォーマンスがなんともロックスターとかそういう人然としていて。彼はやっぱりビッグになりたいのだろうか?なんでみんなビッグになりたがるのだろう?バンドは自分達がやりたい思うことをやった方が良いと思うのだけれど。この時代、そうするのはかなり難しいというのは解るけれど、それでも自分達が良いと思うことをやって欲しい。
 ギターの子は素晴らしかった。彼は凄く気持ちを込めてギターを弾いていて、演奏している間、彼の内にある感情があふれ出ていた。彼の演奏は凄く好きが。彼は自分だけで音源出せるんじゃないかな、The StrokesのAlbert Hammond Jr.のように。
 とにかく、彼等のギグは結構良かった。10月にもう一度ULUで観る予定。本当はもっと小さなヴェニューで観たいのだけど、今や無理だろう。

Songs for Two
The day before yesterday,I went to a party for celebrating my friend's egagement. The party was organized by my friend at Duke of Cambridge and it was good,great party. There were eight people who are all friends of the engaged lady. It was first time I met her future husband though,I think he is very nice guy and very "Kyushu Danji"(means like true Man who grew up around South West of Japan) in a good way.and of course,he looked very happy.Not only him,But also she looked happy as well.We had a great time with them. We had some beer or wine and some dishes.after all,a nice cake came out. It was a climax of the party. I can't forget their faces with happy smile.

I gave a CD-R to them. It was not very special decoration though,I think I was able to choose good songs for them. about some songs of them,I'm not sure their lyrics is suitable for them.But I'm sure that those are,at least,good songs.

Edwyn Collins - Home Again
edwyn collins
How wonderful! I went to see Edwyn Collins' in-store gig at Pure Groove records. My friends know that I'm a big Orange Juice fan. I've never dreamt that I could see Edwyn Collins' gig when I came to London. But,at last,I was able to see his gig. As people know,he recovered from his serious disease and made his new album. This album "Home Again" is a nice album as same as all of his albums. "One Is A Lonely Number","Home Again","You'll Never Know (My Love)","One Track Mind" and "Then I Cried" are my favourite songs. If you like Orange Juice,you might like those songs as well,I think you must like them.
The gig is fantastic,of course,it had a very nice atomosphere.Roddy Frame (ex. Aztec Camera) supported Edwyn Collins.It seemed that Roddy was very nice person.Because he had been looking Edwyn while they were playing.His look was very kind and gently. Roddy's technic of guitar was still amazing.Edwyn was just singin,he can't play any instrumental yet,but his voice is still strong. They "Falling and Laughing"(Orange Juice)","Home Again","Searching for the Truth","Girl Like You","Make Me Feel Again" and more.At the last,they played "Blue Boy" as audience asked to play more. It was really amazing moment.He's alive.

Epic Fits
JUGEMテーマ:音楽

And then,I went to Old Blue Last where Gang Gang Dance were playing.However,when I got there,the venue has closed,finished. Around Old Blue Last,there were some Vice guys and Jiro Bevis as well. They were asking everybody to go to "Jazz Bar". As they created a finger sign of the "J" for "Jazz Bar". I thought they're just stupid guy,otherwise G E N I U S,in a way. My and My friend followed them and towarded to a bus stop to the jazz bar around Dalston Junction.The way to Dalston,a girl,japanese girl,who is friend of Ted or Queenie or anyone came out.I think she is a girl from Comanechi/Pre and one of her friends was one of Mika Moko,I guess.Anyway,I think about ten people were gathering and went to the jazz bar.
The jazz bar was not really JAZZ bar actually.But its atomosphere was quite nice and their Mojito was good as well.Dj was playing any kind of music from "Clean Up A Woman" by Betty Wright to "Hearts of Glass" by Blondie.oh,he often played unknown covered songs.I think he's lived in Tokyo for a few year,because his selection is so Tokyo-ish. I mean he is kind of Kev Darge(What's his spell?). Anyway I like the Jazz Bar. I was able to understand why these guys were saying "Jazz Bar".That was nice time actually.

And tomorrow night,I'm gonna go to Old Blue Last(again!) to see PRE.

30 June 2008; Electricity In Our Homes
electricity in our homes

JUGEMテーマ:音楽

And Then,I've been to a closed pub around Shadwell.A party,Electricity In Our Homes' new single launch party, was held there. When I got there,I was surprised with the venue like ruin of a pub. It has a garden,very tiny though,good atomosphere. As I came into the pub,there are two rooms.The one is for bands,another one is a kind of bar which seems to have been used for ages.I think the venue is great.I've never been to such a nice venue. Well,I've been to,just once. It was the venue that I saw Jay Reatard at Manorhouse. Yeah,yesterday's pub is like that.
Anyway,before Electricity In Our Homes(EIOH) play,some bands played. One of bands,The Stick, which I like very much recently, played.It was third time to see them.But,I think,they're still nice,no,great.Their sound is a kind of garage rock and post punk,however isn't too much post punk.I mean not too much Joy Division.In that point,I like their sound very much,probably.Anyway,they're cool.And one thing,one of them could recognize me and told me.Wouldn't it be nice?
After a band which I don't know the name,EIOH played. This is fifth time,I think,to see their gig. I can't believe it.What a groupie am I.Alright,I like them very much.This time their performance is the best ever.Their performance was very tight and groovy.They had a big energy and agressiveness.If you saw their gig in tiny venue like this,you could understand their power.oh,how poor my vocabulary is.I can't explain my feeling exactly.I just want to say they're getting better in their quality.That's why their 7inches're always disappeared soon.But I missed their new single.How can I get their new single? Oh,dare.

30 June 2008; Bromheads Jacket
JUGEMテーマ:音楽

A minute ago,I've seen a gig of Bromheads Jacket at Pure Groove records. It was first time to see them and come down New Pure Groove shop. The shop was very cool.I mean a bit posh in a way.But the new shop seemed to have good atomosphere still. Anyway it's much nearer than before.I'm just happy.
About the band,Bromheads Jacket seemed to change a bit.I know they got long hair now though,not only their hair,but also their sound is changing a bit,I think,in a good way.They covered Nancy Sinatra's "These boots are made for walkin'". This cover version was really amazing.I astonished,really impressed.They covered this like their original,well,as they covered The Streets' song.And they also played new song called "Speaker Box". As they said,in a way,this is very Stevie Wonder. They featured vintage organ which was connected to effectors on this song. The sound was interesting,means very funcky and garage-ish.I think they havn't got good-looking,but have got a gift of sound.

bromheads jacket


Okay,that's enough. I'm gonna go to see Electricity In Our Homes and The Sticks now. I have to go right now. I'll write about EIOH and The Sticks later.

 ついさっきBromheads JacketのギグをPure Grooveで観てきた。彼等のライブを観たのも新しいPure Grooveに行ったのもこれが初めて。お店はかなり良い感じ。なんていうか、ちょっとポッシュな感じではあるのだけれど。でも、これまでのようになかなか良い雰囲気はある。前の所と比べてとにかく家から近い。それだけで嬉しい。
 バンドは、Bromheads Jacketは少し変化していたように感じた。いや、彼等がロン毛になっているのは知っていたけれど、それだけではなくて、彼等の音も変化してきている、良い方向へ。彼等がカバーしていたNancy Sinatraの"These Boots are Made for Walkin'"がかなり、本当に素晴らしかった。とにかく驚かされ、衝撃を受けた。彼等はこの曲を自分達のオリジナルのようにカバーしていた、そう、ちょうどThe Streetsのカバーをしたときのように。それと新曲"Speaker Box"もやった。彼等が言っていたように、これはかなりStevie Wonder。エフェクターに繋がれたヴィンテージオルガンをフィーチャーしていて、それが凄く興味深く、なんというか、凄いファンキーでガレージっぽいのだ。思うけど、彼等はルックスはそこまで良くないけど、音楽の才能を与えられているのかも知れない。
 よし、これで充分だろう。今からElectricity In Our HomesとThe Sticksを観に行かないと。もう行かなきゃ、すぐに。彼等のことについてはまた後ほど。

Andy Gibb - Greatest Hits Collection
JUGEMテーマ:音楽

Today,I'd like to look back to '70s,to the age of disco. I think this guy is very famous though, I like some of his songs very much. I think he is good at creat mellow,sweet and sour melody.I love two his songs, "An Everlasting Love" and "I Just Want To Be Your Everything". "An Everlasting Love" has got very good melody and sentimental feeling as well,but still dancable. Nice strings flow,very mellow and gentle electric piano runs,I think this "An Everlasting Love" is perfect disco pop tune ever. Another favourite song,"I Just Want To Be Your Everything" is also almost perfect,in a way. It's a bit slower than "An Everlasting Love". But it's got more gentley and mellow feeling .Modest and sentimental guitar cutting tighten my heart.Actually I like these kind of songs.I mean I LOVE these songs.

 今日は70年代を振り返ってみたい、そうディスコの時代。この人は凄い有名な人だと思うのだけど、僕はこの人の曲が何曲か凄く好き。彼はメロウで甘酸っぱいメロディを創るのが得意なんだと思う。中でも2曲かなり好きな曲がある。"An Everlasting Love" と "I Just Want To Be Your Everything"だ。"An Everlasting Love"はとても良いメロディーで、しかもセンチメンタルな感じなのに、ダンサブル。良い感じのストリングスが流れ、とてもメロウで優しいエレピが駆ける。この"An Everlasting Love"は完璧なディスコポップではないかと思う。もう一つのお気に入り、"I Just Want To Be Your Everything"もほとんど完璧、ある意味で。少し"An Everlasting Love"よりゆっくりとしているけれど、より優しくメロウな感じ。控えめで切ないギターカッティングが胸を締め付ける。やっぱり僕はこういう曲好きだ。というか、この2曲は堪らなく好きだ。

夏の必須アルバム。Beach Boysファンはこれが嫌いなはずがない。ウクレレもなんかへんにハワイアンな感じにならず、粋な感じだし、とにかくハイトーンボイスでうたわれるドリーミーだけれど甘ったるすぎないメロディがたまらない。記事に書いた新しいレーベルForest Family Recからのシングルがこのアルバムをさらに越えた出来で衝撃的。是非そちらも。

今のところSpectralsで一番好きな曲が収録されているのがこのスプリットシングル。Keep Your Magic Out Of My HouseはYouTubeのライブを観てもやっぱり良い感じ。もう一曲のBirthday Kissも良い曲。だけど、ネット上で見つけたBirthday Kissは別バージョンでよりクリアでアップテンポなやつで、そっちの方がさらに好みだけど。でも、やっぱりKeep Your Magic Out Of My Houseでしょう!
