Radio Petenyi 2010 only is dead! Long live "Radio Petenyi 2011 & SXSW"!

2011-01-31T22:25:00.002+01:00

We continue in a tradition and rename for the 6th year our radio at the beginning of new year. This time the new title of radio reflects our plans to visit SXSW this March in Austin. We hope to see even more great concerts like we did in year 2003 (Okkervil River, The Frames, Vic Chesnutt, Califone, Carissa's Weird, Liz Phair, ...).

The biggest advantages of SXSW and its enormous quantity of bands is that it brings several bands that we consider to be fantastic, but the crowd in Austin does not seems to recognize it. We hope to see some of our favorite bands in small venues standing just few meters from the podium.

One of such bands might be Bad Veins. Three songs of them have been added to the current playlist of Radio Petenyi 2011 & SXSW.

Favorite albums of 2003-2009 in Radio Petenyi

2009-12-30T21:46:00.001+01:00

2003

Centro-matics: Love You Just the Same

2004

William Shatner: Has Been

In fact, the best album was from Modest Mouse: Good News for People Who Love Bad News, but it would be boring to list this band each year they release an album (similarly for the period with the Beatles ...). Another extraordinary album was from Matthew Sweet: Kimi Ga Suki Raifu, released in 2004 only in Japan.

2005

Wir Sind Helden: Von Hier An Blind

Another fantastic album - Mate of States: Bring it Back.

2006

Gomez: How We Operate

Another excellent album - Centro-matic: Fort Recovery.

2007

Cloud Cult: The Meaning of 8

Of course, the best album was by Modest Mouse: We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. And if I would be in Japan in 2007, and not in 2008, the album Memoirs from Winterkids (now Flight of Kites) would take the posititon.

2008

Frightened Rabbit: Midnight Organ Fight

2009

Fanfarlo: Reservoir

Another excellent newcomer - Grammatics: Grammatics.

The favorite album of 2001 in Radio Petenyi

2009-12-18T13:38:00.000+01:00

It seems that year 2001 brought to my attention the smallest number of albums in this decade. There were good albums from Stephen Malkmus or Low and some other in this year, but the one that has remained in my memory at most is the first solo release of Ben Fold - Rockin' the Suburbs.

Favorite albums of 2000s in Radio Petenyi - Part 0. (1999)

2009-12-10T17:15:00.009+01:00

There are at least two albums that were recorded in 1999, but they played an important role in my life with the music in the year afterwards.

The main reason for that is the concert in May 2000, organized in Berlin by the label City Slang to celebrate their 10 years anniversary. The presence of two bands in this show influenced my music perception for quite a long time.

I remember that I was waiting for a follower of the album Hope and Adams from the band Wheat for many years in this decade, but they have not released the one of such a high quality yet.

See some pictures, sounds and animations of the band in Berlin here.

The second band remained my favorite one for the whole decade.

The Flaming Lips had a quite surrealistic concert early in the morning, see some pictures and sounds here. Their album The Soft Bulletin is a masterpiece.

The songs of these 2 albums were added to the playlist of Radio Petenyi.

Wheat - Body Talk, Part 2 - Hope and Adams

The Flaming Lips - Waitin' for a Superman (Mokran mix) - The Soft Bulletin

In the next post you will find my favorite album of 2000.

Fuuunji - Over the distance

2008-10-29T15:56:00.010+01:00

On a rainy evening in Miyazaki I heard the wondeful song Over the distance from the band Fuuunji. They performed it in a passage where we hided ourselves from the rain. They sold a CD with the song and the song became my audio memory of our wonderful days in Japan. The song can be heard now in Radio Petenyi.

The band has got myspace page, a preview of the song can be heard also there:

http://www.myspace.com/fuuunji

From my friend Shigetoshi Yazaki I got this explanation for the name of the band that I have misspelled firstly to be fununji, not believing that fuuunji can be right ...

Shige says:

"Fuu means winds
Un means clouds
Ji means earth.

But the original meaning of Fuu-un-ji [風雲児] is "a hero [an adventurer] of the troubled times"

Fuu-un means "the state of affairs; the situation" (the other meaning is "winds and clouds").
Sometimes we use Fuu-un such as "make a name by taking advantage of [capitalizing on] social unrest."

They don't use Fuu-un-ji [風雲児], but invent new combination and use Fuu-un-ji [風雲地] (they use another "ji"). The original ji [児] means "guy", and this ji [地] means "earth, ground".

In the web page, they explain the reanson why they use Fuu-un-ji [風雲地]:

1) the (reckless) challenging spilit such that they become a guy who can blow new winds to the music scene of all over japan, not only Miyazaki.

2) one guy (Morimoto) makes a wind-like sound, and the other guy (Ikkyuu) make a thunder-(cloudy)-like sound. they make a wish to become a musician.

The usage of the in japanese, for example,
You should be more realistic in planning your future.
In this case, we use the phrase:
to have your feet on the ground; or be down to earth
ji [地] means these ground and earth

Then they mixed and invented a double meaning in Fuu-un-ji
(winds-clouds-guy and -earth)."

Well, it is nice lecture on Japanese language ...

Weezer - Red Album, メリクリ (日本語ヴァージョン)

2008-10-17T00:01:00.003+02:00

There was not too much music during my 10-days visit of Japan, but otherwise this little musical contribution I got there was one of the best of this year. The Japanesse version of Red album from Weezer contains three bonus tracks and at least two of them are perfect choice for Radio Petenyi.
