JOS ODGODA

Prvo stomacni grip, zatim maligni tumor i na kraju povreda noge. C, c, c, David Gaham se raspada! Naime, u sred koncerta u Bilbao-u 9. jula pukao mu je nozni misic. Tako su odlozeni koncerti do daljeg. Sta da se radi. Samo se nadam da nece skoro na jam session sa Michael Jackson-om!

PNDC & HOUSEWORK

SECONDHAND LANGUAGE (AMMONITE RECORDS)

“Secondhand Language” je sulud, smiren, blag, fokusiran, zapaljiv, cool, ambivalentan, vedar, opskuran, skockan do bola… Pod imenom PNDC, u saradnji sa grckim umetnikom Athanassious Vavaroutasom, u narodu znanom kao Housework, Predrag Nedic snimio je odlican album! Uradio je veliki deo posla u kucnoj radiosti, putem Interneta posalo materijal Grku, ovaj je zacinio i vratio vlasniku na uoblicavanje, pakovanje, promociju. Svoj doprinos je dala i pevacica Marina Skiadaresi (Shadowlike).
Od, kako se to skolski kaze, uvodnih taktova albuma jasno je k’o dan da je post-punk/dark-wave/electro/neo-ovo-ono/retro etc. napokon dobio adekvatno pakovanje, te da njegov autor tacno zna sta, kako, koliko, gde, zasto. Potpuno vladanje postulatima teorije forme omogucava mu da na osvezavajuce lak nacin ideju pretoci u note/ritam/stanje uma. Ljubavnica je vezana lancima, Kerber odobrovoljen, Sunce se ponovo pomalja na obzorju, opor ukus u ustima je netragom nestao. Sve je tu – Clock DVA, rani Kraftwerk, Sparks, John Cale, Einsturzende Neubauten, A Certain Ratio, rani Simple Minds, Wall Of Woodoo, rani Human League, Joy Division, Laurie Anderson, King Krimson, Depeche Mode iz “Construction Time Again” faze, Japan (zajedno i solo), Coil, Pop Group, Section 25, ali i Luna (iz zlatnih osamdesetih), Katarina II, Du-du-a, Rex Ilusivii, The Fall, Daft Punk, Leftfield… Nedic nas vozi kroz vortex u nepoznato, na momente onostrano, gde je cesto boravio i rado se vracao. Odlucio je da to iskustvo podeli, pomeri nas iz ucmalosti, neke napokon probudi. Zatim nezno navlaci zastore leprsavim, no nikako “lakim” pop notama i “kupuje” za sva vremena. Kroz sve to provlaci se izvesna doza plesnog magnetizma, kao najava, iz daljine, kroz koprenu. Lakoca kojom slusalac moze da odluta u izmenjeno stanje svesti, a da pri tom ne koristi ni jednu postapalicu, itekako je dobrodosla, jer pokazuje da na ovim prostorima jos uvek postoje topla umetnicka dela koja svojom prividom hermeticnoscu znaju kako da prodrmaju iz korena, pokrenu na razmisljanje, pretoce u delanje. Ma kakvo ono bilo za svakog ponaosob. Dovoljno je da preslusate “The Fix” i misao ce dobiti oblik, sinestezija ce biti laka kao pero. Da zakljucim, “Secondhand Language” je smoking Nedicevog kreativnog ludila koji se rado nosi i u manje svecanim prigodama. Iznajmite, kupite, “narezite”, za Boga miloga! Necete zazaliti. 
P.S. Za recenzije koje zvuce manje Trotter-ovski, otvorite pretrazivac na svom kompjuteru, otkucajte ime PNDC & housework: Secondhand Language, pritisnite “Enter” i citajte. Dok se vi smarate glupostima, ja cu, ususkan u telefonskoj govornici juriti nepreglednim Kontinuumom i uzivati u muzici.

DARKO GLAVAN R.I.P. (1951-2009)

U Varazdinu je sinoc poginuo poznati muzicki publicista i istoricar umetnosti Darko Glavan. 
 Darko Glavan poginuo je samo petstotinjak metara od stadiona Varteks, na kojem se odrzavao Radar Festival. Njegovo telo nadjeno je oko ponoci u Zagrebackoj ulici kod Plitvickog mosta. Varazdinska policija potvrdila je da je Glavan poginuo, a okolnosti se jos istrazuju. Pretpostavlja se da je na njega naleteo automobil, sto potvrdjuju tragovi sa mesta zlocina.
Nesreca se dogodila nedugo nakon koncerta Carlosa Santane na Radar festivalu. Nakon sto su saznali za ovaj dogadjaj, organizatori Festivala prekinuli su sluzbeni afterparty koji se odrzavao na stadionu Varteksa.
Darko Glavan rodjen je 29. juna1951. u Rijeci gdje je zavrsio osnovnu i srednju skolu. Diplomirao je istoriju umetnosti i komparativnu knjizevnost na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu gde je predavao krace vreme. 
Bio je prvi kustos Galerije Klovicevi dvori te dugo godina radio je kao kustos u Muzeju Mimara. Autor je desetak medjunarodnih i stotinjak nacionalnih izlozbi  slikarstva, fotografije, stripa  i grafickog dizajna. Godine 2005. objavio je monografiju o Galeriji Studentskog centra u Zagrebu. Krajem 2003. izabran je za predsednika hrvatske sekcije AICA-e (medjunarodno udruzenje likovnih kriticara). 
Paralelno s karijerom storičara umetnosti, Glavan je od 1969. aktivni rock kriticar. Prvu autorsku knjigu o punku u bivsoj Jugoslaviji, "Punk" (Potpuno Uvredljivo Negiranje Klasike), objavio je 1980, a reizdata je prosle godine. 
U saradnji sa Drazenom Vrdoljakom napisao je biografiju Bijelog dugmeta "Nista mudro" (1981), a s Hrvojem Horvatom koautor je biografija Rolling Stonesa "Rock'n'Roll Babilon" (1998) i Prljavog kazalista "Sve je lako kad si mlad" (2000). Veliki je prijatelj Jasenka Houre.
Osim autorskih tekstova, Darko Glavan istoriju i teoriju rock muzike obogatio je prevodima vrlo vaznih dela kao sto je na pr. 'Tajna povijest rocka' Ronija Sariga.

NOVA ETIKETA

Menadzer benda Radiohead, Brian Message, pokrenuo je sopstvenu diskografsku kucu, Polyphonic. Poslovna politika ce se bazirati na zastiti autorskih prava izvodjaca i digitalnoj distribuciji muzike kao sto je to bio slucaj 2007. sa albumom “In Rainbows” – fanovi su mogli da skinu album sa Internet stranice benda za sumu novca koju su sami odredili. Muzicari ce dobijati 50% od zarade, a sto su uspesniji, to ce dobit biti veca. Polyphonic je zajednicki projekat kompanije ATC i menadzerskih grupacija - MAMA Group i Nettwerk Music Group. Diskografska kuca jos nema potpisnika.

MANJE LUPANJA, VISE SVIRANJA

Nije sala kada bubnjari prestanu da lupaju i pocnu da sviraju. Patrick Carney, bubnjar benda Black Keys je oformio bend sastavljen iskljucivo od kolega po palicama. Cine ga Jamie Stillman, gitara (Teeth Of Hydra), Jon Finley, vokali/gitara (Beaten Awake), Stephen Clements, klavijature/vokali (Houseguest/Six Parts Seven), Greg Boyd, bubnjevi (Ghostman and Sandman) i Patrick Carney, bas. A kako se zove bend? DRUMMER!!! Prvo dugosvirajuce izdanje se zove “Feel Good Together” (nego sta!) snimljen je za Audio Eagle. Slusacemo ga od 29. septembra nadalje. Na turneji ce deliti binu sa bendom Royal Bangs. 

NEWCOMERS

BAND OF SKULLS

Band of Skulls je alternativni rock bend iz Southampton-a, Velika Britanija. U pocetku su svirali sirom Londona u nocnim klubovima i snimali demose pod imenom Fleeing New York. Zahvaljujuci svojim inovativnim pristupom kreativnom procesu i odnosu prema zvuku vrlo brzo su se proculi u muzickim/umetnickim krugovima Londona, Moskve, Tokija. Novembra 2008. menjaju ime benda u Band Of Skulls. Album “Baby Darling Doll Face Honey” u distribuciji diskografske kuce Shangri-La Music pojavio se ekskluzivno za iTunes marta ove godine. Producirao/snimio/zavrsni mix uradio Ian Davenport (Supergrass, Badly Drawn Boy) u Radiohead Courtyard Studios u Oxfordshire-u, postprodukcija je radjena u House of Blues studiju u LA-ju. Pesma "I Know What I Am" je izabrana za iTunes singl nedelje kako bi se naglasilo njegovo pojavljivanje na Internetu. Muzika benda je mix gitarske lirike, toplih vokala i Wall of Sound zvucnog tepiha.

LUDILO:

Basistkinja/pevacica Emma odrzala je izlozbu "Meat Me At The Butchers", u mesari u kojoj je radila vikendom. Njena kolekcija ploca broji 20,000 albuma i singlova, a plivala je za reprezentaciju Engleske pri tom osvojivsi nekoliko medalja na vise takmicenja. 

Bubnjar Matt igrao je tenis sa cuvenim John McEnroe-om. Za to vreme je bend njegovog oca bio na turneji sa The Rolling Stones. 

Russell-ov pradeda je bio slepi putnik na brodu Titanik, zbrisavsi iz Southampton-a od tri zene i 16-oro vanbracne dece!

KOJIM CEMO PUTEM?

Da je muka stisla i najvece dokazuju sledeci redovi. Naime, Legendarni Abbey Road ce putem interneta ponuditi svoje usluge zaineresovanim muzicarima.

Vec su na taj nacin radili sa Babyshambles, The Last Shadow Puppets i Lightspeed Champion, a drago im je sto ce moci da pruze kvalitetnu uslugu mladim umetnicima, te ucestvovati u stvaranju novih klasika.

Dizzee uskoro izdaje cetvrti album “Tongue 'N' Cheek”.

PONOVO ABBA 

Muska polovina svedskog pop giganta odrzace koncert u Hyde Parku u Londonu. Iako se namece zakljucak da bi bend ABBA mogao da nastavi sa radom u punom sastavu posle visegodisnjeg zatisja, ali i velikog uspeha mjuzikla te filma zasnovanog na njegovoj muzici, Benny Andersson tvrdi da to vece biti slucaj. U pitanju je samo jedan koncert kojim ce se publika podsetiti na velicinu ovog benda i njegov znacaj za danasnji muzicki pop izraz. Da ponovim, 'Thank You For The Music... A Celebration Of The Music Of Abba' Hyde Park, centralni London 13. septembar.

Dodatak: Bjorn Ulvaeus pojavice se na dogadjaju koji organizuje BBC Radio 2 kasnije tokom godine. Za sada nema detalja o ovom dogadjaju.
