I dunno wot she got
I dunno wot she got
I dunno what she got but it seems to have a grip upon me
No telling where she learn the things she do to me
And I don’t know what she done wrong but I want to hurt her

(wanna) take it out on her
Take it out on her
Take it out on her
With my weapon

She’s so exacting that she tells me when I go wrong
She doesn’t value the attention she receives
She says I’m taking all the time but I’m not returning
(that’s right)

‘Do this’ but she won’t do that
Lying beside me like a parcel of fat
Hot love – cold sweat – feel her beneath me wanna crush her to death
She tries to justify the people who despise me
She puts her finger on things she knows will hurt
And I can’t defend myself till we turn the lights off then

I dunno wot she got – my weapon
My secret weapon

I love this song, below are the lyrics, in English, and the chords – yes now that I have a guitar, again, I might give it a shot

Jobim Antonio Carlos : “Girl from ipanema” Guitar chords

Writer:Vinícius de Moraes and Norman Gimbel (English lyrics)
Composer:Antônio Carlos Jobim

How wonderful to rediscover an old friend. XTC. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Andy Partridge hated performing live, unfortunately that shows here, and what an amazing guitarsolo in the end by Dave Gregory!

Here’s the lyrics, not exactly outdated, maybe except that we’ve moved way beyond tapes:

Album: Drums And Wires

In this secret time, invading on our privacy
Unknowing we mime, we play for the ministry
The can film you in bed
Or when you take a bath
They can tape every cry
They can tape every laugh
They can turn you around so you won’t know what’s Real by reel
Busy little bees recording everything you feel
On real by reel
Documented down like rats
They’re catching up on every squeal
On real by reel
Real by reel by real by

In this hidden time, ignorance may help you to cope
Rehearsing for crimes, in government cinemascope
The can film you at work
Or when they let you play
They can tape what you think
They can tape what you say
They can’t blur your I.D. so you won’t know what’s

Now I lay me down to sleep
Knowing that your lenses peep
Now I eat my daily bread
And into the tape spool I’ll be fed

1. Mein Mädel hat einen Rosenmund
und wer ihn küßt, der wird gesund
O du, o du, o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein
du la la la la la, du la la la la la,
du läßt mir keine Ruh!

2. Die Wangen sind wie die Morgenröte
wie sie steht überm Winterschnee
O du, o du, o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein
du la la la la la, du la la la la la,
du läßt mir keine Ruh!

3. Deine Augen sind wie die Nacht so schwarz,
wenn nur zwei Sternlein funkeln drin
O du, o du, o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein
du la la la la la, du la la la la la,
du läßt mir keine Ruh!

4. Du Mädel bist wie der Himmel gut,
wenn er über uns blau sich wölben tut
O du, o du, o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein
du la la la la la, du la la la la la,
du läßt mir keine Ruh!

Worte und Weise: in Kretzschmer – Zuccalmaglio, ‘Deutsche Volkslieder’, Berlin 1840
Nach einem nicht zu belegenden hessischen Volkslied.
Das Lied wurde vor allem durch die Bearbeitung von Johannes Brahms bekannt

The first thing I did after hearing the sad news of the passing away of Michael Jackson, was to put “Off the Wall on” and DANCE THE LIFE TO SLEEP!

God felt a disturbance in the force, it was like 6.5 billion hearts cried out “SHAME ON US!!!”

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and class less and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There’s room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

At the bottom of this post, you’ll find a list of events I’ve saved to my profile on kulturnatten.dk, unfortunately they don’t have a RSS feed or a URL that I can share, so I had to copy/paste/edit the list .

I’m planning to attend the events below, but I usually stray, and end up in strange places, my recommendation is to just go with the flow, and stay in places longer than you originally planned for, if you feel “good vibes”.

Last year the high point for me, was a visit to the old shipyard crane on Holmen, which is back this year, and Ars Nova in Marmorkirken, which isn’t .

The events hit by elitism
I’ve been a huge fan of Kulturnatten for several years, but this year the organisers has decided to limit the official program, and has weeded out some events that had been running, successfully for several years, for instance the event by IT Politisk Forening.

I’ve been noticing that Kulturnatten over the years has become more and more like a carnival, and that was somewhat annoying, but I think that the strict selection of “relevant” events is an example of elitism.

This being said, the Kulturnat is an impressive show of strength, and I’ll keep on attending, even though I strongly disagree with the new policy of the organisers.

List of events I’m planning to attend:

This is, mostly, due to the fact that Jaiku is filled with people, with whom I share interests, but the people there, all, seem to be more interesting than I am, so I can learn new things, and that is the thing in life I love the most.

One of the things I’m very adventurous about is my music, and another of my favourite online services, Last.fm, supports that perfectly.

Yesterday a conversation about Last.fm surfaced on Jaiku:

Jaiku | Det slår mig lige, hvorfor jeg er så vild med last.fm. Jeg kan holde liv i det ved at gøre noget, jeg alligevel ville gøre: Høre musik :-

Translation: It just struck me why I’m so crazy about Last.fm. I can keep it going by doing something, I’d do anyways: Listen to music

That is correct, Last.fm builds and extends your network by comparing your musical preferences to the other users, and it also gives you recommendations based on your listening habits.

Eventually the question was asked: What do you use it for?

This triggered me to use Last.fm again, something I usually only do once a month, and the feature I love the most, is the similar artist radio.

In April 2008 I travelled to Lisbon, Portugal, and I was so fortunate to attend a concert by Dorit Chrysler, a very talented artist from Austria, that has specialised in using the Theremin instrument, a very strange instrument that you control by moving your hands in the electrical field generated by the instrument, that basically is a bend metal-rod.

So the Jaiku post triggered me into finally ripping the CDs I bought in Galeré Zee dos Bois in Lisbon, listening to them, and then using that to listen the Dorit Chrysler Similar Artists Radio.

And what I dug into, was a wealth of wonderful music, that spans from Opera to Classical Chanson, over Russian Abstract Hip-Hop and even the wonderful Colleen, that I already knew.

Here’s a list of some of the wonderful artists I discovered:

• Robert – A wonderful French chanteuse
• Gudrun Gut – German female singer. Original member of Einstürzende Neubauten
• Ute Lempner – German chanteuse
• Susanna and the Magical Orchestra – Norwegian act that, for instance, does some amazing covers, especially one of Dolly Partons Jolene is wonderful
• Meret Becker – Another German singer that has be associated with Einstürzende Neubauten

The list goes on, and I’ll recommend exploring the artists that are similar to Dorit Chrysler, you will not regret it.

Last.fm remains one of the most impressive, and genuinely useful, online services – the list of these services is short, the big three are, to me, Jaiku, Last.fm and Flickr.

The picture used here was taken from Last.fm, and is, most likely an official promotional pressphoto, I hope my use here will go under “fair-use”
