Bonjours à tous,
Ces quatre poèmes m'ont été transmis par leur auteur dans cet ordre là.
Hasard ou jeu de l'inconscient ?
Toujours est il que cela forme du coup une belle histoire, c'est pour cela que je ne vais pas les dissocier et les instrumentaliser dans la foulée ; 4 textes, 4 styles de musique.

PS : les textes
Désir
Certaines nuits je me réveille
Et me surprend d’une chaleur
Qui me hantait dans mon sommeil
Mais révélant quelque bonheur
Cette envie folle qui me traverse
Péché caché mais si ardent
Je rêve de toi, de tes caresses
Qui enflam’raient mon corps brulant
Sentir la fièvre parcourir
Mes membres transit de désir
Jusqu’à y perdre la raison
Ne plus savoir ce que je fais
Ou bien confondre les saisons.
Regrets
La nuit brumeuse tombe en silence
A présent l’heure des chagrins
Durera jusqu’au petit matin
Je me laisse emporter dans l’errance
Comme une reine de son trône déchue
Sur les lèvres de mon cœur des gerçures indélébiles
Profondes morsures d’une lointaine idylle
Cette histoire qui ne m’appartient plus
Belles mais éphémères, noircies par le temps
Les roses fanent et lentement se meurent
Emportant avec elles le dernier bonheur
Laissant place aux chrysanthèmes blancs
La flamme s’est éteinte je me fais une raison
Douce colombe aux ailes brûlées
Ivre de ton amour, déjà consumé
A quoi bon vouloir raviver les cendres froides de la passion
A quoi bon persister
Cette vie n’est plus de saison.
Déchéance
Petite perle blanche
Noircie par le temps
Du mauvais côté tu te penche
Toi qui espérais tant
Comme un ange déchu
Qui s’est brulé les ailes
Bien trop vite déçue
Par cette vie cruelle
T’as renié ta joie de vivre
Désespérée, mal aimée
De tristesse devenue ivre
Tu t’es laissé aller
A courir de-ci de-là
Laissant de côté ton honneur
Je t’ai vu plonger si bas
Que plus personne ne retrouvera ton cœur.
Et parce que quand même, il y a eu une justice, et qu’il en a aussi chié^^ (c’est pas le titre, hein, juste une précision…)
Le plat froid
Quel dommage ! Je n’aurais pas été l’actrice
De cette vengeance plus que glacée
Mais je savoure, suprême délice
Les moments où je te vois pleurer
Je sais, mon attitude est cruelle
Et sans doute, devrais-je avoir honte
Mais pour ces instants rêvés, enfin réels
Seuls ma haine et ton malheur comptent
Je me délecte de ta détresse
Lorsque tu viens pleurer dans mes bras
Et ne me prive pas de te décrire sans cesse
La longue agonie que tu vivras
Privé de ta moitié… comme tu m’avais laissé…

PANDA TRANSPORT
pandatransport.com ♥ myspace.com
According to Panda Transport's biography, they are a Frenchman (Ti) and an American woman (Kat). They play a sort of low-fi indiepop music. Their EP, Monorail was released last month.
What I immediately like about the duo is that Kat's sweltering vocals sometime makes their music sound like a lazy evening at a jazz club. However, the upbeat music can be as fun as on "Monorail" to somewhat silly "Freakshow" (complete with doo-doo-scat).
The one non-Kat song, "Cicadas in Stereo" definitely stands out. I'm also not certain what is being sung on this line: "I want to ____ every single butterfly"? Did I just hear that right?
You can hear their entire EP streaming at their official website.
I will say this, they're cute, and their songs reminds me of one of my favorite band the Would-Be-Goods if they were to go jazz lounge. You can pick up Monorail digitally at usual (itunes, le amazon). Physical CD list can be found here (available last Tuesday?).

I will admit that what made Paris Keeling's CD packaging for End Of Ride Revisited memorable was that it came with this cardboard plastic airplane. Which I did put together and had a twirl (it took a nose-dive and crashed).
Paris Keeling's moniker should be obvious when you hear that it's from their two main songwriters, Marty Paris and Kelly Keeling's name. You can deduce this from hearing the introduction on their live track "Head Straight". Speaking of which, I kind of wish there were more live tracks on this album. I think this is the band's strong point, jamming and playing to an audience. You pick up the energy in the vocals, while their studio tracks seems too well-polished and produced.
As suggested by "Revisited", this is the second release of End Of Ride. Based on seeing the tracklisting for the original release, this new version comes with a different track order and contain new songs (mostly at the end of the track order). Two songs were left out of the revisited album, "Welcome" and "Middle of the Road", so I suspect due to the time limitation of the CD format.
It seems obvious to me that singer Paris Keeling's been singing and playing for most of his adult life (a quick biography check tells me that he's played on Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid, so the guy's been around!).
The new revisited songs started with an aggressive guitar song, "Don't Disturb The Occupants", so I thought the band's new direction would be more hard-rock ... but I was quickly corrected with a 'sensitive'-type song, "Feel", and acoustic-ish "Alive".
The one stand-out track for me is the all-guitar song "I Learned from the Inside", which demonstrate what an excellent guitar player Marty Paris is. As I previously mentioned, I think this band will be at their best by playing live to an audience. They are doing some instores and appearing live at the end of January, check them out if you're in the area.

Universal Records sent me this promo to listen to last year. At first, I didn't know why they'd do such a thing, I'm actually not a big fan of pop music. And I loathe autotune. But then, as I found out talking to a local blogger at a concert last year that I was told that Owl City is some dude in his basement who lives in Minnesota. We thought that was so weird, considering that Owl City is the hottest/best-selling on the Billboard Top 100 (for "Fireflies"). As it is, Owl City is the stage name of Adam Young.... and his certified "Gold" album is called Ocean Eyes.
So. All of Owl City's songs are autotuned (with the exception of "Vanilla Twilight"?). I guess this is just the state of modern pop music. Just check out all the top forty bands and they're using it. I guess I don't really get it. Of course, I also don't understand the Lady Gaga, who every young person I know is in love with her.
Anyway, I even made a point to listen to Owl City's hit song, "Fireflies". It was OK. I can see why people would like this song about being an insomniac, especially that line "I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly".
If I were to pick some good songs, I did like "Umbrella Beach", "The Tip Of The Iceberg" (for the fading in and out) and "The Saltwater Room" (mostly for the duet with Breanne Duren). Duren's vocals was a nice change of pace, and incidentally I saw last year. I described her as a quiet girl with her Casio keyboard.
Well despite my not-so-fondness of Owl City, it looks like he's doing quite well for himself. He's playing to a bunch of sold-out shows, so if you are a fan, I suggest picking up tickets before they sell out. I am definitely not the demographic for Owl City, but I'm happy to see this Minnesotan doing so extraordinary well.

Scanners basically got all the right formula for my music taste: melodic, a little upbeat (even dancey), great guitar playing and great lyrics delivered by a girl singer called Sarah Daly.
Since the band's formation in 2004-ish, they've been doing the tried-and-true singles releases. They finally worked their way to their debut album, Violence Is Golden in 2006, all the while opening up for established acts like The Charlatans (a Britpop favorite here) and The Wedding Present.
With 2010 here, Dim Mak Records is releasing their sophomore album, Submarine next month. We have an advance promo that I've been listening to non-stop since December. I knew the instant I heard their opening track, "Jesus Saves", that they had me at "Each picture tells a story/we've seen it all before/it's either death or glory/of casualty of war.".
I believe their first single from the new album will be "Salvation", although an excellent track, I felt there were stronger songs. However, the song does feature some great lyrics like "I'll take you to my grave" (by the sound of the song it's more upbeat than depressing). You can sample a B-Side off their single by downloading the Don Diablo remix of the track on RCRDLBL. I found out about the free track via the Dim Mak mailing list.
I did download the remix and I'll have to say, it's very bass-heavy. The song sounds very different from the album mix, and doesn't really represent Scanners, in my opinion. What I like about Scanners is that they're lyrical, and the remix strips out all of the lyrics and made it into a techno dance song. There's a time and place for that, just not what I like about the band.
The electronic/dance thing does bring up an interesting point though: Scanners seems like a band that balance the electronic/synth and indierock. I really like that about them.
Other songs to consider for my new mixtape will probably be between "Jesus Saves", "We Never Close Our Eyes" and "Sleepwalking Life". There is one strange song called "Half a Mind (Dreamer Forever)" which is really good, except it's fades out suddenly at the end of the song. Kind of fitting for a 'dream' song, I suppose.
2010 is starting off wonderfully with Submarine. If you generally like British music, you'll find that Scanners will fit nicely in your collection. I know you'll probably forget when their album is release next month, so I'll make it a point to announce their touring dates (if any are announce) in the upcoming months. Watch this space.
Update 1/7/09 11am: I just found out that they have a video for "Salvation". I just watched it... Just live footage and someone drawing lines. Kind of uninspiring, in my opinion.
