Un):LiveReview+Pix「 -- The Milkman's Union, Ryan Lee Crosby, Mount Peru & Glenn Yoder (ex-Cassavettes) @Raido 」

  My friends Peter and Henry of The Milkman's Union from Portland, ME came back in Boston area in a month. Last time they made a Boston show was at Zuzu in December 2011. Two last time was at Lizard Lounge in Somerville, a tiny space venue in around Cambridge area which was their latest 7" single "Texas Hold Me" release show in Boston which I just couldn't make it the release party because they sold out!!! Good way. In a good way though.  But this time the show at Radio that I could make most of the whole was for me good. Because except my purpose band, The Milkman's, all the bands I don't even know, which means new discovers.   Discovering is always in the good way, right?

-- web/fb

Pix and reviews:

1). Ryan Lee Crosby
(TBP!)
*Sorry I missed to get anything, but could make a couple songs he played.

  Looking at his website, he is a male singer song writer as well as an artist and a recording engineer. I like that multi-talent-iveness. And looking forward to get his show more and also his records. A point I might get into him at the first time is his voice and singing style. Even not sure that exactly we can say he's husky, but his is I guess. And it's in a good way in his taste of his music entirely. But I just could feel the point in live just a little. So getting more.

2). Mount Peru

MP review:

  I just didn't know them before the show, but a research online before get the show depended on the RSVP page on facebook... I definitely like it. Especially the horn section in the regular four piece band sounds, like; guitar/vocal, guitar, bass guitar and drums plus keyboard/synth. So that I had expected they are much more "big band style" band, but not so much members in the band. However they sound nice. A main point I really was admired is that they looked really really enjoying to play around their sounds in each of them. As they mentioned during the set, they got a new drummer and just done of their upcoming new EP (which is releasing in March and having the release party! So definitely keep check it out!!), that's the reason they could be so enjoyable in the music on the stage. New venue, new place, new play, new music, and the new band (for me), new neighbor! ('Cause they're a somerville band, I'm a somervillian too! hahaha.)  

TBC!

Kal Marks in-studio at WTBU:

Kal Marks is an Allston, Massachusetts-based songwriter who experiments with folk/blues influences by layering and looping vocal and guit...

My friends Pellytwins brought Kal Mark last year? or more before I guess, their interview is great. So cool staff on it which still you can gabby!

Kal Marks wesite

Their latest album "Goodbye Horses" is one of the "amaziest" staffs released in March of 2011. You can still grab your copy for "name your price" on their bandcamp, or get the physical copy at Kal Marks show, I believe for 7 bux.

☆Kal Marks / "Elizabeth" live at the Whitehaus Mar/5th/2011

**the song off the latest record "Goodbye Horses"

Also, I've been updated my MELTRICK's main website called "news/works" for while, and a part of it has recommendation page. I added Liz of Pellytwins' favorite band and at some her show before she brought, Camp Island. (and I've added many of my favorite undergrounds so far, yes.) I feel like I should connect between this English blo g's recommendation and the one soon.

And many things happening in 2012 too. Stay around. And I apologize that I have many mess-ups so far on this blog and all my webs. But happening new and old always for you.

Thanks,

 Well, done, to be ended up this year? I'm so feeling grateful that I could have such many and preciously encounter within awesome people and things that we can have and share together for each other in the entirely 2011. And if it was still like... "unknownable" face to each others, that would be even okay to meet  nicely up. However, I still also feel like that I have many things remained that even I'm crying for my too special experiences exchangeably not yet into my words enough.

 I'm a little writer for music as much more as a messager of music. And last night at my favorite super tiny but super excellent record store where you can definitely find your own searches or discoveries in new for you, Weirdo Records I had been caught up with new experimental electro improv music band and a artist by really chance. Then the most point that I really could feel myself is that I ...

Show detail:

TBC!

  Braids, one of the best new artist in this year 2011, from Montreal, Canada has made couple of tour shows in Boston so far in this year. Most of them I could've made but also most of them were completely sold out show therefore I couldn't.  This time probably for the last show in Boston for them/us in 2011 was absolutely fantastic. The super fantastic lineup as well as in fact the show's everything like quality, atmosphere, and every single people include players at the show were perfect, except I hadn't much been able to talk to Braids enough. But that might be okay. Well, in this show of Braids, they play a brand new song first on their setlist, is, goes like this:

"AT THE FILLMORE"  by Philip Levine

*All citation from a book
"THIRD RAIL -THE POETRY OF ROCK AND ROLL-"

The music was going on.
The soldier paced outside
his shoes slowly filling


with rain. Morning
would walk early
over the wards of wounded,


row after row
of small white faces
dragged back.


She dozed in the Ladies
wondering should she
return. This warmth


like the flush of juice
up the stale stem
of the flower, she'd known


before, and its aftermath-
seeing the Sisters
and the promises again.


The music was going on,
a distant pulsing only
from the wilderness of strobes.


He climbed back up
the crowded stairs cloaked
in a halo of rain, and no one


noticed or called.
Nor were those the waters
of the heart she heard


rushing in the booth
beside her. She stubbled
her cigarette and rose.


The music was going on
gathering under
the turning lights, mounting


in the emptying hall
toward the end. They stood
blinded a moment,


and then she offered herself
to his arms, and opened
her arms to him, both


of them smiling as they
claimed the other
and whatever else was theirs.

PHILIP LEVINE (American Poet, 1928-)

I would try to translate it to Japanese for my practicing.

I just would,

it'd be just under my own interpretation.

”AT THE FILLMORE”

("FILLMORE" ≒ おそらく米国の１３代大統領、もしくは地名。)

"音楽は流れ続けた。


兵士はゆっくりと靴を履きつぶして外を歩いた"


"雨の中。　朝


早朝を傷ついた中庭を超えて、" *


"小さな白く表情のない顔の


喧騒ののち　疲れきる。"


"女性たちは眠りから返そうとしたが


彼女はうたたねしまった。


この暖かさは"


"まるで新鮮味を失った花の茎から


吹きあれる果実のよで、


彼女は以前から知っていたかのようで、


それでいて


シスター達を見届けた後の余波と


数々の繰り返される約束のよう。"


"音楽は流れ続く、


ストロボの荒々しさからの


距離の躍動の分だけ。"


"彼は雨の円光（ハロー）によって覆われ


混んだ階段を上っては降りて、


それでも誰も"


"気がつかないし声もかけてはくれない。


その部屋の中、


彼女呑み身元で聴いた


どんな心をながる水の音ももなく。


彼女はタバコとバラに火を付けた。"


"音楽は流れ続いた


旋回する光の下に集まり、


響き渡り


誰も居なくなった講堂の中で止んでいった。


二人は盲目の瞬間に立ち尽くし、"


"そしてその瞬間彼女は


彼の腕に自らの腕を伸ばして


彼の腕を掴んだ、


二人共"


"互いを求めるように笑いあい


そして


それは彼らだけの瞬間であった。"

フィリップ・レヴィン

(アメリカ人詩人、1928-)

Comments from me, MELTRICK in JAP.

英詩を、しかも、

いわゆる洋楽ではなく、

詩集からの選抜で、トライするのは難しいものです。

もう何年も昔から、字を書くことが好きになって、

言葉を肖るようになった幼い頃から、

自身で詞や詩を時に吐き出すようになってから、

なったので、 笑、

他者の、時に過去の自分の作品・言葉ですら、

誰かのものを意図的に解釈しようとするのは

とてもむつかしい。。

でも、最近この作業（英→日）がなかなか楽しくて、

勉強にもなるので　今日も一句、

ちょうど一年前にお気に入りの本屋さんで格安で売っていた

"THIRD RAIL"というBONOがはしがきを書いている

R&R詩集から（シルバーさん）ピックアップ！

Thanxx again,
