"killing an arab"wird nicht verkauft oder gespielt
beschreib mal kurz den Spot. Ich bin vor kurzem auch über einen Spot auf die geniale Gorillaz-CD gekommen. Aber das war glaube ich nicht Vodafone...
Bei der Spex bin ich noch dabei. Hab zwar mein Abo vor knapp 3 Jahren gekündigt, aber inzwischen kaufe ich sie wieder regelmäßig. Liegt ja inzwischen auch bei jedem Heft eine Compilation-CD mit neuen Sachen drauf. Da stößt man ab und zu auf ganz interessante Sachen (Beta Band!!).
Eine andere gute Musikzeitschrift ist in meinen Augen noch die Jazz Thing.
"Soul on ice" und "Clean eyes for dirty faces" fand ich von Boa immer klasse. Von den Kastrierten Philosophen hab ich auch eine LP im Plattenschrank.
See you,
kalahari

:-)
Spex lese ich schon seit über 10 Jahren nicht mehr. Den Verriß über die Smiths habe ich denen nie verziehen und Clara D. ist ja auch nicht mehr dabei. Ich glaube da wird ähnlich viel Mist geschrieben wie hier an Board. Eine Verschwendung von Buchstaben.
Philip Boa kann nichts, noch nicht mal singen, meine Meinung. Der Typ ist nur ein Hype, eben ein BWLer. Der weiß wie man auf eine Welle aufspringt und sich vermarktet.
Die Philosphen kenne ich auch, da sind Velvet U. nicht zu überhören, trotzdem gut.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - George Harrison, the Beatles' quiet lead guitarist and spiritual explorer who added both rock 'n' roll flash and a touch of the mystic to the band's timeless magic, has died, a longtime family friend told The Associated Press. He was 58.
Harrison died at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at a friend's Los Angeles home following a battle with cancer, longtime friend Gavin De Becker told The Associated Press late Thursday.
``He died with one thought in mind - love one another,'' De Becker said. De Becker said Harrison's wife, Olivia Harrison, and son Dhani, 24, were with him when he died.
With Harrison's death, there remain two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. John Lennon was shot to death by a deranged fan in 1980.
In 1998, when Harrison disclosed that he had been treated for throat cancer, Harrison said: ``It reminds you that anything can happen.'' The following year, he survived an attack by an intruder who stabbed him several times. In July 2001, he released a statement asking fans not to worry about reports that he was still battling cancer.
The Beatles were four distinct personalities joined as a singular force in the rebellious 1960s, influencing everything from hair styles to music. Whether dropping acid, proclaiming ``All You Need is Love'' or sending up the squares in the film ``A Hard Day's Night'' the Beatles inspired millions.
Harrison's guitar work, modeled on Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins among others, was essential.
He often blended with the band's joyous sound, but also rocked out wildly on ``Long Tall Sally'' and turned slow and dreamy on ``Something.'' His jangly 12-string Rickenbacker, featured in ``A Hard Day's Night,'' was a major influence on the American band the Byrds.
Although his songwriting was overshadowed by the great Lennon-McCartney team, Harrison did contribute such classics as ``Here Comes the Sun'' and ``Something,'' which Frank Sinatra covered. Harrison also taught the young Lennon how to play the guitar.
He was known as the ``quiet'' Beatle and his public image was summed up in the first song he wrote for them, ``Don't Bother Me,'' which appeared on the group's second album.
But Harrison also had a wry sense of humor that helped shape the Beatles' irreverent charm, memorably fitting in alongside Lennon's cutting wit and Starr's cartoonish appeal.
At their first recording session under George Martin, the producer reportedly asked the young musicians to tell him if they didn't like anything. Harrison's response: ``Well, first of all, I don't like your tie.'' Asked by a reporter what he called the Beatles' famous moptop hairstyle, he quipped, ``Arthur.''
He was even funny about his own mortality. As reports of his failing health proliferated, Harrison recorded a new song - ``Horse to the Water'' - and credited it to ``RIP Ltd. 2001.''
He always preferred being a musician to being a star, and he soon soured on Beatlemania - the screaming girls, the hair-tearing mobs, the wild chases from limos to gigs and back to limos. Like Lennon, his memories of the Beatles were often tempered by what he felt was lost in all the madness.
``There was never anything, in any of the Beatle experiences really, that good: even the best thrill soon got tiring,'' Harrison wrote in his 1979 book, ``I, Me, Mine.'' ``There was never any doubt. The Beatles were doomed. Your own space, man, it's so important. That's why we were doomed, because we didn't have any. We were like monkeys in a zoo.''
Still, in a 1992 interview with The Daily Telegraph, Harrison confided: ``We had the time of our lives: We laughed for years.''
After the Beatles broke up in 1970, Harrison had sporadic success. He organized the concert for Bangladesh in New York City, produced films that included Monty Python's ``Life of Brian,'' and teamed with old friends, including Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, as ``The Traveling Wilburys.''
George Harrison was born Feb. 25, 1943, in Liverpool, one of four children of Harold and Louise Harrison. His father, a former ship's steward, became a bus conductor soon after his marriage.
Harrison was 13 when he bought his first guitar and befriended Paul McCartney at their school. McCartney introduced him to Lennon, who had founded a band called the Quarry Men - Harrison was allowed to play if one of the regulars didn't show up.
``When I joined, he didn't really know how to play the guitar; he had a little guitar with three strings on it that looked like a banjo,'' Harrison recalled of Lennon during testimony in a 1998 court case against the owner of a bootleg Beatles' recording.
``I put the six strings on and showed him all the chords - it was actually me who got him playing the guitar. He didn't object to that, being taught by someone who was the baby of the group. John and I had a very good relationship from very early on.''
Harrison evolved as both musician and songwriter. He became interested in the sitar while making the 1965 film ``Help!'' and introduced it to a generation of Western listeners on ``Norwegian Wood,'' a song by Lennon from the ``Rubber Soul'' album. He also began contributing more of his own material.
Among his compositions were ``I Need You'' for the soundtrack of ``Help''; ``If I Needed Someone'' on ``Rubber Soul''; ``Taxman'' and ``Love You To'' on ``Revolver''; ``Within You, Without You'' on ``Sgt. Pepper''; and ``While My Guitar Gently Weeps'' on the White Album.
In 1966, he married model Patti Boyd, who had a bit part in ``A Hard Day's Night.'' (They divorced in 1977, and she married Harrison's friend, the guitarist Eric Clapton, who wrote the anguished song ``Layla'' about her. Harrison attended the wedding.)
More than any of the Beatles, Harrison craved a little quiet. He found it in India. Late in 1966, after the Beatles had ceased touring, George and Patti went to India, where Harrison studied the sitar with Ravi Shankar. He maintained a lifelong affiliation with that part of the world.
In 1967, Harrison introduced the other Beatles to the teaching of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and all four took up transcendental meditation. Harrison was the only one who remained a follower - the others dropped out, with Lennon mocking the Maharishi in the song ``Sexy Sadie.''
By the late '60s, Harrison was clearly worn out from being a Beatle and openly bickered with McCartney, arguing with him on camera during the filming of ``Let It Be.''
As the Beatles grew apart, Harrison collaborated with Clapton on the song ``Badge,'' performed with Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and produced his most acclaimed solo work, the triple album ``All Things Must Pass.'' The sheer volume of material on that 1970 release confirmed the feelings of Harrison fans that he was being stifled in the Beatles.
But one of those songs, the hit ``My Sweet Lord,'' later drew Harrison into a lawsuit: The copyright owner of ``He's So Fine,'' written by Lonnie Mack and recorded by The Chiffons, won a claim that Harrison had stolen the music.
Another Harrison project also led to legal problems. Moved by the starvation caused by the war between Bangladesh and Pakistan, Harrison in 1971 staged two benefit concerts at Madison Square Garden and recruited such performers as Starr, Shankar, Clapton and Dylan.
Anticipating such later superstar benefits as Live Aid and Farm Aid, the Bangladesh concerts were also a cautionary tale about counterculture bookkeeping. Although millions were raised and the three-record concert release won a Grammy for album of the year, allegations emerged over mishandling of funds and the money long stayed in escrow.
Despite the occasional hit single, including the Lennon tribute song ``All Those Years Ago,'' Harrison's solo career did not live up to initial expectations. Reviewing a greatest hits compilation, Village Voice critic Robert Christgau likened him to a ``borderline hitter they can pitch around after the sluggers (Lennon and McCartney) are traded away.''
Harrison's family life was steadier. He married Olivia Arias in 1978, a month after Dhani was born.
The next year, Harrison founded Handmade Films to produce Monty Python's ``Life of Brian.'' He sold the company for $8.5 million in 1994.
Fame continued to haunt him. In 1999, he was stabbed several times by a man who broke into his home west of London. The man, who thought the Beatles were witches and believed himself on a divine mission to kill Harrison, was acquitted by reason of insanity.
But fame also continued to enrich Harrison. The following year, he saw a compilation of Beatles No. 1 singles, ``1,'' sell millions of copies and re-establish the band's status around the world.
``The thing that pleases me the most about it is that young people like it,'' he said in an interview with The Associated Press. ``It's given kids from 6 to 16 an alternate view of music to what's been available for the past 20 years.
``I think the popular music has gone truly weird,'' he said. ``It's either cutesy-wutesy or it's hard, nasty stuff. It's good that this has life again with the youth.''

London (Reuters) - Es war wohl der kürzeste Rückzug auf das Altenteil der Rock'n'Roll-Geschichte: Obwohl die britische Band "The Cure" im vergangenen Jahr auf Abschieds-Tournee gegangen war, wollen die meist schwarz gewandeten Musiker nun doch weitermachen. "Es kann jetzt so lange weitergehen, wie es will", sagte Sänger und Gitarrist Robert Smith in einem Reuters-Interview. Das könnte auch auf den überwältigenden Erfolg ihrer letzten Tour zurückzuführen sein. Mehr als eine halbe Million Menschen sahen in Nordamerika und Europa die Konzerte der Band mit den düsteren Liedern über Tod und Verzweiflung - ungewöhnlich viele Besucher.
Vor der Tournee habe er durchaus an das Ende der Band gedacht, sagte der 42-jährige Smith. Allerdings hatte er dies seit 1987 immer mal wieder überlegt und auch gesagt, denn "The Cure" hatten lange eine eher kleine Fangemeinde. Erst in Folge des 1992 erschienenen Albums "Wish" erreichten "Cure"-Konzerte ihren Besucherhöhepunkt. Danach ging es mit den Platten-Verkäufen und Konzertbesuchern allerdings wieder bergab und Smith rechnete nicht mehr mit einem größeren Publikum. Die eigentlich als Abschied gedachte Tour vergangenes Jahr ließ Smith nun erkennen, dass er "The Cure" für die ganz eingefleischten Fans an Leben erhalten müsse.
Nach der Veröffentlichung eines Albums mit 16 der größten Hits und zwei neuen Stücken vor gut einem Monat, ist Smith jetzt wieder voller Tatendrang. So hat er in diesem Jahr bereits an einem Solo-Album gearbeitet und mit den "Cure"-Kollegen neue Lieder aufgenommen.
Das "Best of"-Album sieht Smith einfach als Ansammlung angenehmer, eher kommerzieller Musikstücke an: "Es sprüht nicht wirklich vor Ideen." Er würde es bevorzugen, wenn "The Cure" als Gruppe der düsteren Songs in Erinnerung bliebe. "Ich denke, es sollte wirklich eine Sammlung mit den nicht-größten Hits geben."
Wie es mit der Band nun weitergehe, sei noch nicht ganz klar, sagte Smith. Es gebe einige Überlegungen, was im kommenden Jahr geschehen könne. Auch einige Festival-Auftritte im Sommer seien eingeschlossen.
Um ihren Sänger und Gründer Robert Smith spielten "The Cure" seit ihrer ersten, wegen des Titels oft falsch interpretierten Single "Killing An Arab" 1978 in wechselnder Besetzung. Die 1991 zur besten britischen Band gewählten "The Cure" wurden mit Liedern wie "Love Cats", "Lullaby" und "Friday I'm In Love" und ihr Auftreten bekannt. Die schwarze Kleidung und die totenbleich geschminkten Gesichter der Bandmitglieder gehören auch für die Fans zum Erkennungszeichen.
