Video Retrospective : Special Attraction

All right, I didn't do that one... fellow compadre Nicolas Plaire did, for the "Animal Fraud" album.

Cover du Jour : Bruce Springsteen

A very quickly recorded cover of "The Promise", a dark gem from the 70's...

Some have suggested over the years that the song was about business issues Springsteen faced at the time, but the man himself refuted that trivial theory, stating that he wasn't writing songs about lawsuits.

Indeed, what we've got here, beyond the americana, is the universal tale of loss, disillusion, human frailty, and things going somewhat wrong...

Great songwriting and beautiful lyrics.

Piano and Prophet 08 for my very humble version...

Video Retrospective : Nothing Sickened

Since these days I'm working on a new lo-fi folk-blues EP, let's dig up this fine fine blues song from the "Black Hole Years" album.

The video was made using footage from various turkish favorites.

The song itself can be purchased through most digital shops, such as iTunes or Amazon.com

Video Retrospective : Faking Evidence

Another oldie, but if you ask me, totally goodie, the video to "Faking Evidence", still from the "Elevator Songs" EP, and using great public domain footage. Again, Microkorg for most of the synths... that unmistakable thin, retro sound...

A little warning, some (well, actually a lot of) nudity...

Beat It (The Aptly Funeral Piano Cover)

Well, I'm of those people who didn't especially care for Jackson's weird personal life, but I grew up in the eighties listening to his stuff and loved the musician, so I'm a bit dismayed by the news.

I had the "Bad" album K7 when I was a kid and pretty much wore it down, and just a couple of weeks ago I found a bargain copy of the Jacksons Five's "Destiny", which contains some badass funky grooves.

So anyway, I won't digress endlessly on Michael Jackson's oddities, I'm sure the blogosphere can indulge without me on that.

I'm actually thinking of a demo recording I did a couple of years ago to test a new piano emulation plugin. Can't remember the synths too well, but most probably Microkorg.

It's the classic "Beat it" single, in dirge mode.

Rest in peace.

Video Retrospective : Fairyland of Science

I'm remixing my "Way to Dusty Death" video to produce a trailer for the upcoming "Strawberry Blonde" album, but meanwhile, let's have a look at the past ones...

"Fairyland of Science" is from the "Elevator Songs" electronica EP.

The tune itself was recorded on the Microkorg, and as usual, the work is based on various public domain videos.
