Love will tear us apart. Again.
Posted by Lord Picchio | Filed under Music news

Periodo intenso per i fans dei Joy Division: è uscito nelle sale inglesi il bel film Control (dubito fortemente lo si possa vedere nelle sale italiane), un Best Of (con il solito pregevole design della copertina di Peter Saville) e, per concludere, un bel poster (subito andato sold out: il design qui).
In memoria di Jan Curtis, morto il 18 maggio 1980.

Segnalo l’imminente mini tournee (3 date) italiana dei cari vecchi Fuzztones, dal 1978 la band emblema del garage-punk.
Link al loro sito.
Visitato il sito dei Fuzztones ho cercato qualche loro copertina su Rate Your Music, un sito che trovo bello se non altro per la sua classifica dei miglior gruppi suddivisa per decenni sebbene RYM sia nato per dare la possibilità a chiunque di dare una valutazione a un disco e soprattutto scrivere una recensione.
Intelligente.

Personal DNA
Posted by Lord Picchio | Filed under Design
Segnalo il link a Personal DNA (scoperto leggendo un blog di un twitter friend che ora non ricordo), una specie di test sulla propria personalità. Nulla di che, sia chiaro, ma è carina l’idea di visualizzare con aree colorate i vari tratti della propria personalità.
A me è risultato questo

King of the Surf
Well we’re takin’ my woodie and headin’ on down
Where the cool cool surfers all gather round
Got a brand new board and I’m ready to fly
I’ll be shootin’ the curl before the sun is high
Show those hodads, gremmies, heroes too
The kinda’ high ridin’ real surfers too
Well I’m a high ridin’ surfer and it takes three crunchers and a heavy
to wipe me out
I can do a double spinner before you count to three
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Well I’m a real hot-dogger so very alive
When I’m ridin’ the cruncher and a’hangin’ five
Listen to the roar of the shore break sound
Keep on surfin’ till the sun goes down
Grab your honey and a’hold her tight
We’re gonna have a surfin’ party tonight
Well I’m a high ridin’ surfer and it takes three crunchers and a heavy
to wipe me out
I can do a double spinner before you count to three
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Surf City’s callin’ me and a’man oh man
Gonna find a surf baby grab her by the hand
Gonna build a fire, gonna build it right
We’re gonna dance on the beach, gonna dance all night
Dance and sing the whole night away
And be ridin’ our surfboards well the very next day
Well I’m a high ridin’ surfer and it takes three crunchers and a heavy
to wipe me out
I can do a double spinner before you count to three
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
Whoa oh, king of the surf that’s me
