Listofilia

Há álbuns sobre os quais poderíamos escrever longos textos e, depois, há álbuns cujos título são… longos textos. No Listofilia deste domingo, vamos tentar passar alguma música nos intervalos da leitura de títulos mais ou menos longíssimos de alguns dos nossos discos favoritos. Entre os incontinentes para os quais duas ou três palavras era manifestamente escasso para batizar os seus rebentos discográficos, teremos Fiona Apple, Soulwax, Frank Sidebottom, T. Rex e China Crisis, entre muitos outros. Sarau de declamação de títulos de discos, este domingo, pelas 20 horas, em 107.9 FM ou www.ruc.pt .

04 Fiona Apple – Paper Bag

“When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king / What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight / And he’ll win the whole thing ‘fore he enters the ring / There’s no body to batter when your mind is your might / So when you go solo, you hold your own hand / And remember that depth is the greatest of heights / And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land / And if you fall it won’t matter, cuz you’ll know that you’re right” | Epic, 1999

05 Chumbawamba – Add Me

“The boy bands have won, and all the copyists and the tribute bands and the TV talent show producers have won, if we allow our culture to be shaped by mimicry, whether from lack of ideas or from exaggerated respect. You should never try to freeze culture. What you can do is recycle that culture. Take your older brother’s hand-me-down jacket and re-style it, re-fashion it to the point where it becomes your own. But don’t just regurgitate creative history, or hold art and music and literature as fixed, untouchable and kept under glass. The people who try to ‘guard’ any particular form of music are, like the copyists and manufactured bands, doing it the worst disservice, because the only thing that you can do to music that will damage it is not change it, not make it your own. Because then it dies, then it’s over, then it’s done, and the boy bands have won.” | No Masters, 2008

“Frank Sidebottom Salutes the Magic of Freddie Mercury and Queen and Also Kylie Minogue (You Know,…. Her Off “Neighbours”)” | In Tape, 1988

11 Daft Punk – Robot Rock (Soulwax Remix)

“Most of the remixes we’ve made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn’t think sounded good enough or just didn’t fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or just simply because they haven’t been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent” | Parlophone, 2007
