    1979 - Neue Sounds aus England: 2-tone Ska

    1979 - Neue Sounds aus England: 2-tone Ska
    „One Step Beyooooooond…!“ Extrem tanzbar, immer etwas schräg und nur echt mit Saxophon, Posaune und Trompete - Ska ist zweifelsohne ein lebhafter Musikstil! Ursprünglich aus Jamaika stammend, bastelten Ende der 70er/Anfang der 80er die Briten ihre ganz eigene Art des Ska: den sogenannten „2-tone“. Bands wie The Specials, Madness oder The Beat wirbelten damals mit ihrem Mix aus jamaikanischen Ska, Punkrock und New Wave die Musikwelt ordentlich auf. Das konnte politisch und sozialkritisch klingen oder einfach nur nach Gaga und guter Laune. Wir schauen uns das Ganze mal genauer an... ++++++++++Song-Tipps zur Folge++++++++++ The Specials mit… „A Massage To You, Rudy“, „Ghost Town“, „Too Much Too Young“, „Doesn’t Make It Alright“++++++++++Madness mit… „One Step Beyond“, „Embarrassment“, „Baggy Trousers“, „Night Boat To Cairo“, „Driving In My Car“++++++++++The Beat mit… „Hands Off…She’s Mine“, „Mirror In The Bathroom“++++++++++The Selecter mit… „Gangsters“, „Three Minute Hero“, „On My Radio“

    Bulle - quelques pensées baladeuses autour de The Specials "A Message to You Rudy"

    Texte :

    Aujourd’hui tu as de nouveau 16 ans et tu accroches des badges à damier au revers de ta veste, tu ressors le chapeau. Autrefois tu ignorais l’histoire, les anglais avaient donc inventé le ska, tant pis pour Dandy Livingston. Pour la démarche, il t’importe de dépasser le sautillement pour tendre vers une souplesse où le plié du genou n’oublie pas que sous l’apparente gaieté, pointe le désabusement. Tu profites pleinement de ce déplacement dont le style évoque Charlie Chaplin mais peut suggérer un étonnant mix avec Mohamed Ali. L’important est le naturel, il serait désastreux d’apparaitre en lémurien anxieux !

    Today you are 16 again and you hang chequered badges on the lapel of your jacket, you take out the hat. You didn't know the history in the past, so the English invented ska, so much the worse for Dandy Livingston. To walk, it's important to go beyond the jumping to a suppleness where the bent knee doesn't forget that under the apparent cheerfulness, the disillusionment points out. You take full advantage of this movement whose style evokes Charlie Chaplin but can suggest an astonishing mix with Mohamed Ali. The important thing is the natural, it would be disastrous to appear as an anxious lemur !

    153 - THE GO-GO'S w Dakin Hardwick

    153 - THE GO-GO'S w Dakin Hardwick

    Today Paco and George are joined by Dakin Hardwick to recap the new Showtime documentary The Go Go’s. Notably the first all-femme band to write their own songs, play their own instruments, and snag a #1 US album. 

    Directed by Allison Ellwood, this straightforward music documentary looks at the LA group's rise, reign and breakup, along with youthful ambition, firings, drugs, rehab, money squabbles, breakup, and inevitable reunions.

    Dakin Hardwick is the one of the founders of Spinning Platters, a website started by a small group of Bay Area based music fans. He was not a writer before starting this blog, and honed my craft in the public eye. The blog is still alive and well after a decade on the internet, even managing to continue to put out content during the COVID crisis. In addition to managing the blog, Dakin has managed to work in music his entire adult life, starting out as a clerk at Wherehouse Music, interning for both Universal Music Distribution and Six Degrees records, and then working at Ticketfly throughout the entire lifespan of the company, then eventually landing at Eventbrite, working on their Music venue product up until the COVID pandemic wiped out the industry, causing the company to let go a large percentage of it’s staff. Dakin, along with fellow Spinning Platters founder Gordon Elgart, occasionally hosts music trivia in San Francisco.

    Dakin currently lives in Oakland, CA, and is hunting for a full time day job while raising his 1-year old daughter, making sure she understands the importance of listening to music that will alienate her from her peers.
