<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For fans of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sean Lennon</span>... or potential fans of Sean Lennon... his 2006 album <span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Friendly Fire</span> was one of my <span style="font-weight:bold;">absolute favorites</span> that year.  It's short, but it comes with a DVD that's ostensibly the <span style="font-weight:bold;">entire album</span> set to a music video (<span style="font-style:italic;">and shot very well with real artistic, movie-making direction</span>).  Anyway, check it out...</p>

<p>I just recently stumbled on a few more Sean Lennon projects...</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;color:#990000;">The Ghost of the Saber Toothed Tiger</span>: Sean and his girlfriend (Charlotte Kemp Muhl) have a new pop project... the band name is The Ghost of the Saber Toothed Tiger.  They go by "Amatla &#38; Zargifon" instead of Sean &#38; Charlotte, and they have four songs available on their MySpace page.  My favorite as of now is "<span style="font-weight:bold;">Robot Boy</span>."</p>

<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://a61.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/63/m_610849a8454ee645171143056ab7497c.jpg" alt="" /><img style="vertical-align:top;" src="http://a793.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/29/m_f3a5aaf32c7b25677d4e7ba1c1c87a90.jpg" alt="" /></div>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;color:#990000;">Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead</span>: Sean's done the score for this upcoming movie... apparently Ralph "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001494/" target="_blank">Karate Kid</a>" Macchio has a role in it (thanks for the heads-up Steve)... <a title="http://undeadflick.com/" href="http://undeadflick.com/" target="_blank">http://undeadflick.com/</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;color:#990000;">Live at The Stone, Jan 2008</span>: The Stone is John Zorn's club in NYC's East Village (<span style="font-style:italic;">C Ave a few blocks from the Bowery</span>).  I went there for a show last March.  It's an amazing, but small, space dedicated to the arts.  <span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">100%</span> of the proceeds each night go to the artist.  There is no food/drink vending.  They have artist curators every month (<span style="font-style:italic;">artists pick who they want to perform</span>).  They usually have two performances a night.  The way they bring in money to maintain The Stone is by having annual benefit concerts and by selling their annual benefit CDs (Volume 3 is a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Lou Reed/John Zorn/Laurie Anderson</span> improv set and it's available at <a title="thestonenyc.com" href="http://thestonenyc.com" target="_blank">thestonenyc.com</a>).</p>
<p>Anyway, Sean Lennon and some friends had a gig at The Stone in early January 2008.  I'll warn you that it's <span style="font-weight:bold;">avant-garde / experimental </span>-- and not his usual pop fare.  It features some of my favorites in the downtown NYC scene (<a title="Trevor Dunn" href="http://www.myspace.com/convulsivebeauty" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Trevor Dunn</span></a> from Mr. Bungle &#38; Fantômas, as well as <a title="Yuka Honda" href="http://www.myspace.com/yukahonda" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Yuka Honda</span></a> from Cibo Matto &#38; her wonderful solo releases).  The show is available as streaming and downloadable (<span style="font-style:italic;">low quality mp3</span>) at <a title="http://seanonolennon.com/music/stone/mp3player/" href="http://seanonolennon.com/music/stone/mp3player/" target="_blank">http://seanonolennon.com/music/<span style="font-weight:bold;">stone/mp3player/</span></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/DlR1NijJxV4'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/DlR1NijJxV4&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Oggi vi propongo una canzone veramente eccezionale ovviamente in Italia mai passata e sto parlando di "<strong>Sugar Water</strong>" dei <strong>Cibo Matto.<br />
</strong>Nati nel lontano 1994 dalla mente di <strong>Yuka Honda</strong> e <strong>Miho Hatori</strong>,due giapponesi trapiantate a New York,che insieme ad altri componenti danno vita ad una musica <strong>quantomai particolare</strong> dove mescolano pop,rock,jazz,punk,elettronica,rap,trip-hop ma anche diversi campionamenti da colonne sonore,insomma un calderone che messo così sembra indecente ma che in realtà ha creato un album,<strong>Viva!La Woman</strong>(1996), dalla bellezza strabiliante e non parlo solo come fan ma anche come amante della musica.Il loro secondo album "<strong>Stereotype A</strong>"(1999) mostra un calo di ispirazione notevole che porterà tral'altro allo scioglimento della band nel 2001.</p>
<p><strong>Sugar Water</strong> invece che dire,la loro canzone più celebre utilizzata come jingle,colonna sonora...veramente conosciuta almeno all'estero ma anche in Italia ho avuto il piacere di conoscere estimatori della canzone,canzone che è stata creata grazie al supporto di <strong>Ennio Morricone</strong> mica calci sulla vulva!<br />
Il video invece è stato girato indovinate da chi? da quel genio supremo di <strong>Michel Gondry</strong> che ha creato una <strong>storia a doppia lettura</strong>,splendida che nei piccoli dettagli sa essere qualcosa di volendo unico nel suo genere.<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p>Vi consiglio di procurarvi "<strong>Ecdysis</strong>" della <strong>Hatori</strong> se amate il pop ma anche le sue session con il collega <strong>Smokey</strong> in cui propongono <strong>un repertorio jazz e bossanova </strong>dal sapore molte Brasiliano inoltre la signorina Miho ha collaborato con i <strong>Beastie Boys,gli Handsome boy modelling school </strong>e gli arcinoti<strong> Gorillaz</strong> per cui ha prestato la sua voce al personaggio della piccola <strong>Noodle</strong>,se invece siete più orientati verso l'elettronica strumentale fiondatevi su "<strong>Memory are my only witness</strong>" di <strong>Yuka Honda.</strong></p>
