Sunday Morning in Calexico

2011-03-03T17:46:00.002-08:00

by Gordy de Necochea It's Sunday Morning in Calexico. The night was long and there was song. The birds are singing and it's reverie. Don't make a sound, just look around. The rooms are empty but I feel them there. They're everywhere, voices in the air. Nana's pouring coffee into Papa's cup. His hands are strong, her hair is long. And soon enough their house will feel with joy, with little girls and little boys. It's Sunday morning in Calexico...

Justin Bieber???

Frank had it, Elvis had it, Justin Beiber??? After watching this young girl cry a river of heartfelt tears perhaps Justin Beiber merits further investigation.

Zee Avi

Zee's vocals are heavenly. If ever there was a voice that grabs your attention, this is it. She crafts songs that seem sweet on the surface, but often the subject matter speaks to the darker side of life.

Ana Belen - Lia

2009-01-29T20:51:00.000-08:00

Lía con tu pelo un edredón de terciopelo,
que me pueda guarecer,
si me encuentra en cueros el amanecer.
Lía entre tus labios a los míos respirando en el vacío aprenderé
como por la boca muere y mata el pez.
Lías telaraña que enmaraña mi razón,
que te quiero mucho y es sin ton ni son.
Lías cada día con el día posterior
y entre día y día,
lía con tus brazos un nudo de dos lazos,
que me ate a tu pecho, amor.
Lía con tus besos la parte de mis sesos
que manda en mi corazón.
Lías tus miradas a mi falda,
por debajo de mi espalda,
y digo yo,
que mejor que el ojo pongas la intención.
Líame a la pata de la cama,
no te quedes con las ganas de saber
cuánto amor nos cabe de una sola vez.
Lías cigarrillos de cariño y sin papel
para que los fume dentro de tu piel.
Lías la cruceta de esta pobre marioneta y entre lío y lío...
Lía con tus brazos un nudo de dos lazos
que me ate a tu pecho, amor.
Lía con tus besos la parte de mis sesos
que manda en mi corazón.
Lías cada día con el día posterior y entre día y día
lía con tus brazos un nudo de dos lazos
que me ate a tu pecho, amor.
Lía con tus besos la parte de mis sesos
que manda en mi corazón...

Notwithstanding great performances by Sir Paul, U2 and Bruce Springsteen, the 2006 Grammy Awards seemed hijacked by egomaniacs and less talanted types trying way-too-hard. Or is it just us??

Lennon & Dylan Rip Johnny Cash??

2005-11-28T15:39:00.000-08:00

So there's this grainy, barely audible video of John Lennon and Bob Dylan completely smashed in the back seat of a car, allegedly talking smack about Johnny Cash. I have to admit right up front that I did not pass my FBI examination (that's another story and I'm still regretting cheating in Ms. Bertacci's pre-algebra class) and I have no idea as to what they are saying on tape. Cleary, they are talking about Johnny Cash and Mama Cass. Dylan indeed trashed Mama Cass, warning Lennon that "everyone's been with her" and imploring him to not go down that road. Hmmm. Never read about that about her in People Magazine. Once again, another reminder that it is never a good idea to get wasted and start recording.

Beethoven Visits Bay Area! Sort of...

2005-11-18T13:44:00.000-08:00

How interesting that part of Beethoven's skull is now in the Bay Area - to be studied of course! Turns out that the bones were the property of a local family and only recently have they lent them over to scientists for further study. Was Beethoven a little crazy. In addition to being brilliant, he was often ill and his behavior was often irratic. He himself desired that someone would find out what was the matter him!

The following is an interview hosted by public radio's Jim Flemming, interviewing Russell Martin author of Beethoven's Hair.
A lock of hair was clipped from Beethoven as he was lay in state and the results of scientific experiments on the hair are illuminating. Hear the interview in:

Lisa Marie Has Left the Building

2005-11-09T11:42:00.000-08:00

I must admit, right up front that I am an Elvis Presley fan. That fact registered clear last night when I saw Lisa Marie Presley's name on the marquee outside Bimbo's in San Francisco. Just to see that name Presley in lights again somehow seemed significant, and also, somehow, personal. Even before the show began, I had to admit that I was actually there to see Elvis's one and only daughter, live and in the flesh. "Would she look like him? Sound like him?" I thought to myself. My place, close to the stage, thanks to the clout of Radio SF and my fanatical determination, was a foregone conclusion. However, I did not anticipate having to battle lesbians - butch and lipstick - for the choice spot, center stage. Lisa Marie has a strong following among the gay community.

The crowd was a respectable mix of tattooed types, the faithful and the curious. I like to think I was part of the latter.

Lisa Marie took to the stage amid cheers, screams and outstretched arms attached to cell phone cameras (which have now replaced cigarette lighters at concerts, in case you did not know). She looked, well, "tiny." In every porportion. Height - small. Hands - small. Arms - short. And she seemed much younger than her age (just shy of forty). She also seemed slightly soft in the midsection, but in a nice, loose, casual way. Her hair was permed in long strands of golden brown . Her face is perhaps a little less striking than the glamorously perfect Rollingstone magazine cover, but those eyes, that perfect nose, the casual slightly crooked smile... unmistakably the progeny of Elvis and Priscilla Presley.

Lisa Marie rocked the crowd at Bimbo's with her unique brand of chip-on-the-shoulder, "f-You," rock and roll music about failed relationships, hope and angst. Her ballads showed that she can in fact sing well, although her strong suit may be her song writing. In this area she surpasses the talents of her father in that he sang songs written by others.

I hesitate to write about a certain moment of the show, for risk of personal embarrassment...but throwing all caution to the wind, here goes...

I was in fact, quite close to the stage and throughout the concert I had ample opportunity to notice & surmise every aspect of Lisa Marie. I found myself quite relaxed as she stood center stage singing a dreamy ballad of what, I just don't know. In fact, I was standing about one yard directly in front of her and I was in a bit of a daze, as I had been standing for some time.
So here's the thing - my daze cleared as I found myself not looking at her eyes, but rather her looking directly into mine. I know this sounds ridiculous she simply bore down on me, or right through me, actually. Our eyes locked for a few moments as she lowered her head slightly and the intense gaze slowly evolved into a sexy curved lip smile, followed by an outstretched arm pointing directly at me, followed by the release of a full faced smile that mirrored mine and acknowledged the moment..

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I may have inadvertently exaggerated a fact or two in the past to "enhance" a run-of-the-mill anecdote for friends and family, but this surreal LMM (Lisa Marie Moment) is told exactly as it was. In fact, immediately after the LMM, I was blushing a bit as Vivian turned to me with jaw dropped in surprise - my very own personal witness! A perfect witness were it not for the fact that Vivian is my wife. I immediately and automatically apologized, but fortunately Vivian thought it was hilarious, or rather, I was hilarious, and she enjoyed teasing me about it immensely. She wanted to know if I was going to wait by the bus as the groupies do, and she wanted to know if our relationship had reached the stage (no pun intended) of dating other people. The answer to all her questions was and is a resounding "no!"
Sorry, Lisa Marie, no disrespect to Elvis, but I'm taken!

Hustle & Flow - Who was that gospel singer?

2005-08-23T14:58:00.000-07:00

If you haven't heard about it yet, John Singlton's film Hustle & Flow is simply amazing. A powerful, deep and inspiring film. San Francisco native and international gospel vocalist Jennifer Bynum sings the negro spiritual If I Changed Mah Name in one of the films most emotional and profound scenes. Sadly, the song is not available on the Hustle and Flow soundtrack! An unforgivable ommision. Here is a link to an mp3 recording of the song (Not the entire song. Sorry.) The Hustle & Flow soundtrack is available in stores and at Itunes.http://www.geocities.com/madameinternational/changedmuhname.mp3
