DEDE son un dúo americano (Dede Reynols y Tim K) que tiran del revival sixties francés para debutar en su primer ep que puedes escuchar en su web.


Cassette From My Ex























Cassette From My Ex: Stories and Soundtracks of Lost Loves

En un ejercicio de revivalismo puedes escuchar las famosas mixtapes que en su día sirvieron para compartir canciones en forma de declaraciones de amor y leer las anécdotas relacionadas con ellas.

Resulta curioso ver la selección y los comentarios relativos a la cinta que John le hizo en 1986 a Claudia Gonson (The Magnetic Fields)
















Se han recopilado en un libro las cintas y comentarios más interesantes

Homenaje a Grant Mclennan: Bye Bye Pride

Es muy difícil elegir sólo una canción de The Go-Betweens como homenaje a Grant McLennan en el quinto aniversario desde que nos dejó.

Esta podría ser una: Bye Bye Pride



A white moon appears
Like a hole in the sky,
The mangroves go quiet.
In la Brisa de la Palma
A teenage Rasputin
Takes the sting from a gin,
"When a woman learns to walk
She's not dependent anymore
A line front her letter May 24
And out on the bay
The current is strong
A boat can go lost.
But I didn't know someone
Could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart
Could be tied up
And held for ransom.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside, stride over stride.
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.

Turned the fan off
And went for a walk
By the lights down on Shield Street.
The birds in the trees
Open their wings ...
He goes home again.
He dreams resistance,
They talk commitment,
Things change over long distance.
Took the shirt off his back
The eyes from his head
And left him for dead.
But I didn't know someone
Could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart
Could be tied up
And held for ransom.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside, stride over stride,
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.

Little lies, they'll take your pride.
Until you take your shoes
And go outside. stride over stride,
Walk to that tide because
The door is open wide.
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide.
Bye, Bye Pride.
Because the door is open wide.
The door is always open wide.
The door is always open wide
