Nyt fra The Duckworth Lewis Method
Som jeg skrev om for nogle måneder siden (rent gæt - ingen anelse), så har Neil Hannon aka. The Divine Comedy kastet sig over et sideprojekt, der er udmundet i et konceptalbum om gentlemansporten cricket. Projektet er blevet døbt The Duckworth Lewis Method, og albummet skulle være ude allerede nu. Desværre er det ikke lykkedes mig at finde det i fysisk form endnu, og jeg har på fornemmelsen at jeg ender med at bestille skiven via cdon.com
En ny video har set dagens lys. Det er ikke fantastisk, men så sandelig god og hyggelig musik:
...vent, måske synes jeg alligevel det er en lille smule fantastisk...

Det er da lidt fantastisk! Jeg sidder og blir sådan helt i godt humør (skandale!) af videoen og det lækre aaaahhhh-kor. Men jeg kender slet ikke TDC i forvejen...kan du anbefale nogen af de ældre numre? For så vil jeg gerne høre nærmere!
Uuuuuh, The Divine Comedy er blandt det fineste af det fineste!
Der er eksempelvis 'Absent Friends' fra albummet af samme navn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKFkNjlRdMw&feature=PlayList&p=D9DBF06BBDA3AF50&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3
Der er 'Our Mutual Friend' også fra Absent Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEixi67WjTA
'Generation Sex' fra Fin De Siecle-pladen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNfTnCN9d00
Oooog 'National Express' fra samme plade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXbpUCKz4qY&feature=related
Enjoy! :-)
...men faktisk kan jeg anbefale stort set alt udgivet under navnet The Divine Comedy. Pladerne Fin De Siecle, Absent Friends og Victory For The Comic Muse er gode steder at starte.
Så skidt da, en sidste anbefaling af den smukke smukke 'Lady Of A Certain Age' - den kan høres på http://www.myspace.com/thedivinecomedy
Back in the day you had been part of the smart set You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy You sipped camparis with David and Peter At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva Scaling the dizzy heights of high society Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur Until the light of youth became obscured And left you on your own and in the shade An English lady of a certain age And if a nice young man would buy you a drink You'd say with a conspiratorial wink "You wouldn't think that I was seventy" And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
You had to marry someone very very rich So that you might be kept in the style to which You had all of your life been accustomed to But that the socialists had taxed away from you You gave him children, a girl and a boy To keep your sanity a nanny was employed And when the time came they were sent away Well that was simply what you did in those days
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur Until the light of youth became obscured And left you on your own and in the shade An English lady of a certain age And if a nice young man would buy you a drink You'd say with a conspiratorial wink "You wouldn't think that I was sixty three" And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry Your daughter never finished her finishing school Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles And so you come here to escape your little flat Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur Until the light of youth became obscured And left you all alone and in the shade An English lady of a certain age And if a nice young man would buy you a drink You'd say with a conspiratorial wink "You wouldn't think that I was fifty three" And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
Ja ja, det bliver omfattende når man giver mig et Divine Comedy-que ;-)
Hey Jonas Vil bare takke for en spændende blog. Jeg fandt den ved et tilfælde, fordi jeg er stor entakt-fan. Jeg er ved at tisse i bukserne af fryd over din side, ved ikke hvorfor det skal skrives, men du skal roses for din smukke forening af kvantitet-kvalitet. Og tak fordi du introducerer lyrikken til familien dk's Nik og Jay-univers.
Tusind tak, Michael - og (med fare for at lyde flinkesyg - sådan forholder det sig nu ikke) ligeledes tak for de rigtig fine ord på din i øvrigt rigtig fine blog. Den er dejligt velskrevet, og jeg vil da kigge forbi i ny og næ.
Jeg har været lidt i tvivl om hvorvidt jeg skriver for mange indlæg på bloggen her, men så længe jeg føler jeg har noget at skrive om må det være sådan :-) I hvert fald dejligt du sætter pris på aktiviteten herinde.
Tak for de fine ord:), som jeg i mit stille sind ikke håber udelukkende er flinkesyge. Skriv ofte og meget, vi er, som du kan se på antallet af kommentarer, et par stykker som virkelig nyder aktiviteten. Oprigtitgt: virkelig fedt med ukulele. Jeg overvejer selv mandolin, som hyldest til Nicolas Bro i "voksne mennesker". Kig endelig forbi filterløs' sludderier.

Oh, endnu en perle:

Billedkvaliteten er gået kold, og ligger og raller i et hjørne - men musikken fejler så sandelig ingenting :-)
Herlig tekst, og sikke en vokal!
Tak Jonas, så er der vist underholdning til resten af arbejdsdagen! Det er meget sjovere end den brugervejledning, jeg var i gang med at oversætte :-)

Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
You had to marry someone very very rich
So that you might be kept in the style to which
You had all of your life been accustomed to
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
And when the time came they were sent away
Well that was simply what you did in those days
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink

And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
And so you come here to escape your little flat
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur

And left you all alone and in the shade

Håber du vil synes om det, og nyde overspringshandlingen!
I like it a lot! Tak for introduktionen :-)
Selv tak - og tusind tak for påmindelsen. Jeg kommer til at høre det resten af dagen, kan jeg mærke.
