o ruivo no topo do mundo (ou amarante acima de um “fela”)…

acho que ainda não chegou ao brasa a edição da MOJO retrospectiva 2021… mas um simpático traficante trouxe pra gente a publicação que tem os stones na capa e, claro, as listas de melhores do ano passado. esse é o number #338 da revista e jah foram lançados mais dois: #339 (capa neil young) e #340 (the monkees).

listas pra lá, melhores pra cá… e eis que brota o ruivo no topo dos discos “world music”…

“sitting on top of the world”

cheers

( :

até a mojo remando contra (ou marriott forévis)…

na boa, não consigo lembrar de capa tão sem graça como essa uma que chegou ao brasa… talvez, uma outra exibindo a própria del rey… mamãe!

mas, claro, tirante a capa, a revista vem lotadinha de pautas cascudas… com destaque para uma mega matéria sobre steve marriott, ídolo TOTAL, que ilumina o cd dessa edição…

coincidentemente ou não, há três dias, fomos atropelados por TRINTA anos exatos da subida Dele… PQP!

aqui registrado pela xeretinha em julho1987, londres…

marriotta forévis

as couves de “bloNde on bloNde”…

lá pelos idos de 2016, a MOJO lançou um disco duplo, vinil amarelo, chamado “blonde on blonde revisited”… captou? isso mermo, a masterpiece Dele, na íntegra, na ordem original, interpretada por 14 fios desencapados com destaque para todo o lado D com jim o’rourke deitando os cabelos em “sad eyed lady of the lowlands”… pirei!

de imediato, a rede de traficantes internacionais do roNca entrou em ação e a pepita desembarcou, rapidinho, no rio de janeura. cheguei a tocar alguma song no roNca e no programa da globo… mas não fui muito adiante na audição. sacumé, né? correria, outras atenções na pista… e a tal falta de tempo. conclusão, só ontem, os quatro lados desse disco desfilaram umas três vezes, inteirinhos, de enfiada, na passarela da maloca…

numa olhada rápida, não encontrei o artefato nas redes tradicionais de streaming mas está no Utube…

renan, alex & a lista…

Assunto: Listinha do Alex

“Fala Mauricio,

Sua Mojo já deve estar chegando aí – se o carteiro maratonista chegar – mas eu queria o seu parecer sobre essa listinha do Alex Turner abaixo.

Além da presença inoxidável do Disco do Tênis, pirei mesmo no Alan Hull e no Nino Ferrer, que não conhecia.

História AQUI.

Abraço,”

Renan

rebel rebel (ou NEW young)…

há uns dois meses, quando a MOJO anunciou o lançamento de sua nova edição, negozinho d’aTRIPA ficou desarvoradaço indagando:

– será que esse número da revista chegará ao brasa?

igualmente descontrolado, procurei demonstrar uma calma que não existia nas respostas:

– sim, claro que chegará… sempre chegaram

mas a dúvida corroía minha alma… pô, afinal, era uma edição com destaque para mark e. smith, MEGA matéria com neil young e outras gemas do jornalismo musical.

acabei esquecendo de garantir um exemplar com marcelo “caipirinha” quando ele estava saindo de leeds… e a agonia aumentava a cada dia que a dita cuja não desembarcava porraqui… JISUS!!!

mas, hoje, finalmente, gloriosamente, a MOJO chegou às bancas do patropi… D+D+D+D+D+D+D+D+D+! com neil young ancorado em oito páginas com o título:

THE LAST OUTLAW

mais a despedida a mark.e smith (“slang king”) + roxy music + o bombástico cd…

que mais parece uma edição do roNca encartada na revista

EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA, boogakinks…

kinks.mojo

este é o cd tributaço ao kinks que acompanha a nova edição da revista MOJO, ainda inédita no brasa… e que tem ray davies na capa:

mojo

belezuríssima, né?

acontece, que pra situation ser ainda mais cascuda, prestenção em quem interpreta a música “no return”…

1 David Watts

by American Wrestlers
While the song is named after a concert promoter from Rutland who worked with The Kinks in 1966, David Watts sees Ray Davies reaching back to his school days and casting envious looks in the direction of a former head boy. The Jam’s muscular cover of this tune in 1978 emphasised its venomous lyrics. In contrast to this, acclaimed St Louis-based indie-rockers American Wrestlers deliver a version packed with yearning.

2 Death Of A Clown

By Wreckless Eric
The Kinks touring schedule was always arduous, while perceived mismanagement led to Ray’s guitar-playing brother Dave casting himself in the role of a circus entertainer. The pathos of Dave’s original is underlined by the irrepressible Wreckless Eric – himself a national treasure – whose acerbic rendition begins with canned laughter possibly culled from a ’70s quiz show. What follows is a sneering reading of a track that Dave issued as a solo single prior to the album’s release.

3 Two Sisters

By Les Limiñanas Feat Anton Newcombe
It is not hard to decode the story of Sylvilla and Percilla, two sisters with contrasting responsibilities. The first is single and fancy-free, the second is married with responsibilities. Substitute Dave and Ray Davies’s names into the narrative of sibling jealousy and you arrive at the track’s original inspiration. The song’s kitchen-sink angst is evident on this wildly psychedelic interpretation by French duo, Les Limiñanas, who enlist The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe to crank up the tension.

4 No Return

By Boogarins
A sophisticated songwriter from the very start of The Kinks’ career, Ray Davies drew on bossa nova for inspiration for this tune. In a bid to return the track to its roots, MOJO asked Brazilian psychedelic outfit Boogarins – named after a popular flower grown in their homeland – to try their hand at this number. The result is a fantastically woozy cover, with a seductive, hypnotic ebb and flow.

5 Harry Rag

By Modern Studies
If No Return embraces the exotic, then the nicotine-stained Harry Rag is Ray Davies drawing on something closer to home, namely vaudeville and music hall influences which he encountered first-hand thanks to his father. Modern Studies amplify the original track’s sense of nostalgia, as they translate it into a remarkable baroque, neo-folk piece that is rich in texture and detail. Like Ray himself, the Glasgow-via-Yorkshire four-piece appear to hear an olde world.

6 Tin Soldier Man

By Declan McKenna
Having just turned 18, Hertfordshire-born songwriter Declan McKenna is an old head on young shoulders. With a clutch of EPs and singles to his name, he is working on his debut album with producer James Ford and interrupted his day job to contribute this rousing version of Tin Soldier Man. It proves that clearly great things beckon for an artist who, less than two years ago, decided to forego his A-levels in favour of a career in music.

7 Situation Vacant

By Chuck Prophet
Along with Waterloo Sunset’s more famous couple – Terry and Julie – the protagonists of this tune, Suzy and Johnny, were vessels for Ray Davies’ shattered romantic idealism. Here, Johnny’s attempt to please his mother-in-law and his “little mama” simply lead to unemployment. Fellow storyteller Chuck Prophet, formerly of US Americana pioneers Green On Red, keeps the original’s bleakness intact on this spirited cover, resplendent with its mid-‘70s-Kinks-style guitar solo.

8 Love Me Till The Sun Shines

By Grumbling Fur
Another tune written by Dave Davies, Love Me Till The Sun Shines again appears to inhabit the vacuum at the heart of pop stardom, disillusionment rippling throughout the lyrics. Surfing between the realms of psychedelia, electronic music and avant-pop, the British duo of Alexander Tucker and Daniel O’Sullivan give the original’s barely submerged ennui an ‘80s-style makeover. Imagine Godley and Creme doing Davies and Davies.

9 Lazy Old Sun

By Jacco Gardner
Twenty-eight year-old Dutch musical adventurer, Jacco Gardner has released two albums of sun-dappled psychedelia, making him the ideal candidate to tackle this Mellotron-soaked, raga-inspired tune. While there can be no escape from the heaviness of the lyrics – “When I am dead and gone/Your light will shine eternally,” writes Ray – Gardner creates a swirling musical backdrop where Sgt. Pepper vibes abound.

10 Afternoon Tea

By Max Jury
A very British ritual is employed by Ray Davies to revisit a place where nostalgia cloaks a sense of loss, in this case abandonment by a girl named Donna. In many respects, this makes Afternoon Tea the archetypal Ray ‘love’ song, and its all-pervading sense of quotidian failure is given an edge of jaunty sophistication by acclaimed Des Moines singer-songwriter Max Jury.

11 Funny Face

By Mick Harvey
While Kinks mythology has it that Dave enjoyed the freedoms that came with stardom where Ray did not, the younger Davies’ contributions to Something Else tell a different story. Here, too, the guitarist can’t hide his yearning for an old flame, encasing his emotions in a medical allegory. Former Bad Seed and esteemed solo artist Mick Harvey allows the lyricism of this bittersweet tune to ring out fully.

12 End Of The Season

By Nada Surf
Bird song introduces the original version of what is ostensibly another of Ray’s love songs. And yet, the lampooning, semi-crooned vocal soon turns to usher in what is in fact a political commentary. Its musical warmth, however, is maintained on this burnished version by much-loved New York alternative types Nada Surf (themselves celebrating 25 years of active service). Here, frontman Matthew Caws delivers a vocal performance that adds to the wistful quality of the original.

13 Waterloo Sunset

By Ty Segall
Having covered The Kinks’ 1965 classic Till The End Of The Day with his heavy garage-rock combo Fuzz, back in 2014, Ty Segall is entrusted with the band’s best-loved composition. The ever-prolific, 29-year-old Californian brings his Bolan-inspired vocals to bear on Ray Davies’ observational masterpiece and delivers a version of the song that remains faithful but which also boasts a decided impish charm.

PQParille… o cd ainda tem uma faixa-extra com gaz coombes deitando os cabelos em “this time tomorrow”… ela mesma, covered pelo little joy e que abre a masterpiece “viagem a darjeeling” (cine shogun JAH).

agora, pra botar a tampa nessas conspirações que chegam lááááá de cima, você reparou na foto que ilustrou o booga no post deles na KEXP, ali embaixo, bem antes d’eu saber dessa edição da MOJO?

óia a beca do dinho…
