i'm convinced that rod stewart could sing that song and we wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Elliott Smith - "Bled White



I'm a color reporter
(Rose city on the 409)
But the city's been bled white
(White city on the yellow line)
And the doctor orders drinks all night
(Drinking until he's trashed is just a waste of time)
To take away this curse
But it makes me feel much worse
Bled white
So I wait for the F-train
(White city on the yellow line)
And connect through a friend of mine
(White city to a friend of mine)
To a yesterdaydream
(Yesterdaydream was just a waste of time)
Because I'll have to be high to drag the sunset down
And paint this paling town
Bled white
So here he comes with the blank expression
Especially for me Because he knows I feel the same
Because happy and sad come in quick succession
I'm never going to become what you became
Don't you dare disturb me
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)
While I'm balancing my past
(Don't complicate my peace of mind)
Because you can't help or hurt me
(The anger, being mean was just a waste of time)
Like it already has
I may not seem quite right
But I'm not (frank)ed, not quite
Bled white
Bled white

Randy Newman - Short People


Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well f*ck you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you b!tch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)
Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me
on your front porch
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You b!tch
I want my money back
and don't forget
And don't forget.

Rednecks by Mr Newman





Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well he may be a fool but he's our fool
If they think they're better than him they're wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that's where I made this song

We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
And we're keepin' the African Americans down

We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
And good ol' boys from Tennessee
And colleges men from LSU
Went in dumb. Come out dumb too
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And they're keepin' the African Americans down

CHORUS
We're rednecks, rednecks
And we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
And we're keeping the African Americans down

Now your northern African American's a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the African American free

Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage on the South-Side of Chicago
And the West-Side
And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the African Americans down

[Video]
So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well f*ck you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you b!tch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)
Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me
on your front porch
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You b!tch
I want my money back
and don't forget
And don't forget.

Haha, Ben Folds Five, good one

Bethlehem-Aphel Die Schwarze Schlange
Das tote, dem Untergang geweihte Gestirn
entblößt die allmächtigen Schwingen
welche, vom Licht verbannt
in eisigem Grabe darliegen

Der in seinem Ich erstarrte Fels
folgt dem nächtlichen Schrei
des totgeweihten Engels
und gebärt die schwarze Schlange
in den Schoß des reinigenden Zerfalls

Die Hure mit den vergifteten Augen
von finst'rem Mondschein erhellt
ist wie keusche Blasphemie
inmitten tiefschwarzer See

Nur wenn steinerne Ketten geboren in
knöchernen Schrein
den Strom meiner animalischen Zweisamkeit zur
Quelle
der dunklen Macht erheben

Wird es die Losung sein
welche du vergaßest
wie den Stuhl
den man eine geraume Zeit vermißt

[English translation: Aphel - The Black Serpent]

The dead constellation, destined for the
downfall
uncovers the allmighty winnows
that lie in icy grave,
exiled by the light

The rock that's stiffened in itself
follows the nocturnal cry
of the doomed angel
and gives birth to the black serpent
in the shoot of the cleansing decay

The whore with the poisoned eyes
that are lit by dark moonlight
is like chaste blasphemy
in the middle of a deepblack lake

Only when stone chains, born in the shrine made
of bone,
lift up the stream of my animalistic duality to
the source
of the dark power

It will be the password
that you forgot
like the chair
that has been missing for some time


Stick around for the guitar riff around 0:53 and the stunning guitar solo that ends the song.

Elliott Smith - "Bled White

my A number 1 favorite Elliott Smith song.
My favorite local bar is actually where he wrote all the lyrics to that album when he lived here in Brooklyn.

That would actually be really cool to visit. XO is the only album that comes close to matching his self-titled, IMO.

The short story of APHRODITE'S CHILD starts in 1968, when the Greek/Egyptian bassist and vocalist named Artemios Ventouris Roussos (Demis Roussos) and the powerful drummer Lucas Sideras were supposed to meet the multi instrumentalist Evengelio Odyssey Papathanassiou (VANGELIS) who had left his first group FORMINXS, but the first two were not admitted to England because they had no working permits but custom officers discovered photos and tapes in their luggage so they assumed the musicians intended to stay.

A few months later the three musicians join in Paris with Anargyros Koulouris (Silver Koulouris) a very competent guitar player and they decide to form a new band which was supposed to mix traditional Greek music with Western Pop and Psychedelia, but they ended doing much more than was expected.

Their first two releases "End of the World" (which includes two hit singles, "Rain and Tears" and "I Want To Live", the last one reached N° 1 in most Europe) and "It's Five O'Clock" showed a commercial oriented band with a very peculiar sound, but it's not until 1970, when they start to record the brilliant and adventurous "666" that they get a place in progressive Rock history even when the relation inside the band was at the lowest point, mostly because VANGELIS wanted to do more serious music than Lucas Sideras and Roussos.

The paradox is that this masterpiece which combines 100% Symphonic structure, British Psychedelia, Greek Orthodox Religious music with a touch of pop was only released in 1972 (after the band had already split) due to several reasons like the controversial concept ("The Book of Revelations"), the confession made by the band that "666" was conceived under the influence of Sahlep (some people believed this word was referred to some kind of pagan divinity when in fact it's a common non alcoholic beverage from Turkey) and the track "Infinity" sung by the great actress Irene Papas which is really a five minutes orgasm.

After APHRODITE'S CHILD disbanded, the members took different paths, like Roussos who became a well known pop singer and VANGELIS who is still a respected Progressive/New Age artist, but none of their later works will have the importance of "666", an Icon of Progressive Rock and one of the first conceptual albums in history.

That would actually be really cool to visit. XO is the only album that comes close to matching his self-titled, IMO.
