Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Nouvelle série d'entretiens. 

Toujours en attente de retours sur d'autres candidatures, d'autres entretiens. 

Je ne pense pas avoir de nouvelles aujourd'hui. Peut-être demain, qui sait ? Et si demain c'était le grand jour ?

 

En attendant, je prépare tranquillement les entretiens à venir, au doux son de la perceuse et du marteau. Cette merveilleuse playlist, calme et reposante, a déjà commencé hier. J'espérais ne pas y avoir droit cet après-midi, c'est raté ! 

Ça fout en l'air quelques plans. Alors à la place, je suggère écouter ABBA jusqu'à ce soir. Et zapper les déclarations de Jeannot Droopy. Je veux du positif, j'y crois bordel de merde ! 

 

Pour la peine, je vous laisse avec la version de Knowing Me, Knowing You par Jeremy Irvine, Lily James, Pierce Brosnan, et Amanda Seyfried dans Mamma Mia : Here we go again.

 

   

 

 

I wish

( I wish I knew how it would be to be) Free - covered by Lighthouse Family

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it is to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

One love one blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life with each other

Sisters, brothers

One love but we're not the same

We got to carry each other Carry each other

One One One One One...

I knew how it would feel to be free
I knew how it would feel to be free 

(cherchant les paroles, je découvre que Nina Simone est à l'origine de cette chanson. Et que sa version est splendide !)

JFX un jour, JFX toujours

Ces derniers jours, on a bossé pas mal de très bons titres au boulot, et j'ai découvert de très très bonnes choses.
Nouveaux albums en mains, j'ai eu envie de faire un peu de tri dans mon iPod pour mettre de nouveaux titres.

Et puis, alors que les titres défilaient sous mes yeux, je me suis demandé quel était mon top 10 des titres les plus écoutés.

Voici :

10. Brid og ni mhaille, The Corrs. 43 écoutes entre le 12/07/2010 et le 22/10/2014
9. Goodbye Godric, True Blood OST. 44 écoutes entre le 06/01/2011 et le 31/10/2014
8. Like a prayer, repris par Glee. 45 écoutes entre le 21/04/2011 et le 02/10/2014
7. Get me through December, Alison Krauss. 47 écoutes entre le 19/04/2010 et le 02/04/2014
6. Misirlou, Sirba Octet & Isabelle George. 48 écoutes entre le 15/11/2010 et le 31/12/2014
5. Where is my mind, repris par Yoav et Emily Browning, SukerPunch OST. 49 écoutes entre le 07/01/2012 et le 10/02/2015
4. BB Guns and dirtbikes, The White Buffalo. 52 écoutes entre le 27/05/2012 et le 01/01/2015

3. You win or you die, Game of Thrones OST. 52 écoutes entre le 28/04/2012 et le 13/11/2014

2. Andante du Concerto pour piano n°21 de Mozart. 53 écoutes entre le 04/08/2012 et le 14/01/2015

1. The Wedding, Hint vs EZ3kiel. 53 écoutes entre le 22/04/2010 et le 25/11/2014.


Je me pensais plus corporate que ça, et puis non. Premier titre classé côté TRACK1Music, c'est She de Josh Beech and the Johns, avec 31 écoutes entre le 23/02/2011 et le 03/12/2014 (qui est ex-aequo avec Served Cold et Cha Cha Bang de Van Susans).

Comme quoi, une fois que tu as été marquée par Jarring Effects, après c'est à vie.
On dit scout un jour, scout toujours, là c'est pareil.





 

Saint James Infirmary

Il y a quelques temps, on a bossé la reprise de Candyman de Moriarty. J'ai tellement aimé le titre que j'en ai acheté l'album. Album sur lequel j'ai découvert leur très belle version de Saint James Infirmary.

Saint James Infirmary - by Moriarty

Pour la semaine prochaine, j'ai préparé l'audio et la fiche d'une autre version de cette chanson. Cette fois, reprise dans un esprit reggae et soul, signée Paul Noyah.

  

Saint James Infirmary - by Paul Noyah 

Très très bon aussi.
En cherchant les crédits auteur / compositeur de ce titre (parce qu'ils n'étaient pas précisés sur notre autorisation), j'ai découvert qu'il était multi-repris, et que donc, il collerait bien à ma rubrique Master vs Student. Deux autres versions ont retenu mon attention. "L'original", du moins celle qui a apporté le succès à ce titre dont on ne connait pas l'origine, signé Louis Armstrong, et une autre plus récente par Hugh Laurie. 

En piste. 

Saint James Infirmary Blues - by Louis Armstrong

Saint James Infirmary - by Hugh Laurie

 

If I die young

To be honest, I never appreciate Gee.

I watched few episodes to see what it was, but never watched more than the first season, or less.

But, I listened some songs, because, when I'm looking for videos on YouTube, they always suggest the cover by Glee before the the original. So, yes, I like one or two songs.

When they broadcast the episode dedicated to Cory Monteith, I watched. By curiosity yes. And, well I love that song ! Well, that cover.

If I die young - covered by Naya Rivera 

I hope I will never lose someone I love. 

 

Goodbye November, see you next year !

So, November is over, I should be very happy because that means that, because today is December 2nd (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE !!!!), I still have to wait 29 days before the real end of this awful year called 2011 !!

But before.

Before leaving to London, I posted.

I forgot two hearts. One should be for Scotland and their rockstars. Cuz, on November 20th this year, I should have celebrated my 2 years of ... happiness ? stress ? love ? work ?

Yes, on November 20th, I was meeting my lovely rockers, almost all of them, and decided that my life had to change !

Because that week-end of 2009 I became the Fishgirl, I should say that now, the Fishgirl is 2. Wow !

And before that, when I posted that one, I should have add another line. But did not, cuz I didn't want to mix history and this news. 

On early November 2010, I was posting that. It started on November 1st, ended around November 12nd, and now, I'm proud to say that TRACK1Music France, my company, turned 1 this month. And... a lot happened to that little one :

The company was created on November 2010 because at this moment, I was dealing with 5 bands, almost 6, and already booked 4 gigs. In France, you can book 6 gigs/year without professional licence. You cannot ask the licence with your own name, you have to belong to a company. You can create a company for free with just you, you pay taxes only if you win money. I created my company because I was booking the last gig of the year, on December 12th. 

If I may, this gig changed a lot of things for me. 

- I learn how to keep calm when everything was wrong. You know, when you have to reschedule a gig just one week before, when you see it's snowing a lot and you know that the band is coming by plane. When you're f* late, that the manager call you when you're in the very deep tunnel under the planes and you say "I'll be here in 10 minutes, sorry tunnel", that the 10 minutes is more 20 or 25 minutes, and that, for once, the tunnel excuse is true. When you're running everywhere in the airport and finally met three guys that will say thank you whatever happens.

- I learn how being the worst jealous girl in the world. Didn't realize it that day, but, little by little after.

- I learn how stubborn I can be, but not that much cuz some may be more than me. It costed me eyes, patience, tears, laptop... It's called "how to create a poster with Jack and bad pictures !" You have no idea how many times I said to myself that this guy was really lucky cuz two laptops and hundred of kilometres were between us. Note for myself : never create a poster next to him.... :)

- I learn how stressed I can be, but not that much cuz some may be more than me.

- I learn how good it can be to laugh and spend good time. Ok, I want to slap him 90% of the time, but, you have no idea how many good times I spent with him too. I can't tell you with one is my favourite time, but, I know there are a lot.

Josh's gig on December 12th at Le Carmen was my first one with my company.

Then, 

it was iMMa on February 24th at l'OPA Bastille.

it was Josh Beech and the Johns vs iMMa on April 27th at Le Yono.

it was iMMa Fête la Musique on June 21st, two gigs, an outside one on Place du Marché Notre Dame, and one at La Royale Factory.

it was The Niro, acoustic set on September 10th at Le Be There.

it was Gary Johnstone fait son Tour de France on September 13th at Le Yono.
it was Gary Johnstone vs MRS GOOD on September 14th at La Royale Factory.

it was Josh Beech and the Johns LIVE ! on October 11st at l'International.

Some were really successful (iMMa on June 21st, Josh on October 11st), other were empty or cancelled (Josh Beech and the Johns at la Bellevilloise on April 29th). 

Professionally, I can say that this year was really interesting, I learned a lot, laughed a lot, cried too much. Personally and emotionally, this year was terrible. 

I think I care too much for nothing about people around me. I have to learn how to accept a compliment. They all they thank you for what I do for them, but, I don't know how to interpret it. I know it's sincere, but I have to stop imagine romance or whatever everytime a guy says thank you or that I rocked the night. 

Now, TRACK1Music France is living a second year. I gave myself three years with my company to meet people and win money. If after three years things didn't change, I stop.

 

 

 

 

2011 is almost over, and iTunes is playing the song that will help me to survive until January 2012. Here's for you.

Turn The Page - covered by Metallica

 

PS : about the posters, they are all my creations, please, do not share without my authorisation. I need to find an alias to sign them. Have a nice day.

One day I'll know what's in your mind !

I feel good. I think it's been a while since last time I felt like that... Maybe it's because today is September 1st...

On Tuesday, when I was hardly working on Gary's tour (that is in two weeks !!!!) a venue in Paris called me... The guy was telling me he needed a band for September 10th... I told him that maybe I could have one... Not Josh cuz I know the boys are pretty busy and because, right now, they don't have the time and money to come back. 

I sent an email to W. telling him about the gig, I told him what I had in my mind, and he told me that he will check with the artist. In 24 hours, I booked that crazy gig : 

I am so happy ! The gig is next week !!!!

Anyway. 

Today was a great day, with great messages, and great chat with my men. I just need to know what's in their mind.

Yesterday when W. called me, he asked me if I wanted to go to London this month. I told him I'd love too and asked when (I know that everybody's going there soon cuz Josh Beech and the Johns are playing on Sept. 18th!)... He told me that from 12th to 18th will be perfect. I laughed cuz, it's the same dates as Gary in Paris !!
I think I'll check for November...

And because I feel good, I share two videos with you (to prove you how much I feel good !!)

Teenage Dream - by Katy Perry

The Name of the Game - covered by Amanda Seyfried

(I know, I didn't post my Italian pix... soon !! soon !!)

Crash this Train / Always on my mind

I'm tired, I'm sad, I'm everything you want.

I'm booking two artists in the same time, need answers before tomorrow, and well, it's hard.

This morning, I finished reading my MIDEM Guide (an old one... because I went there in 2009), and now, I have a million names to contact, France, and outside France. Tomorrow, I will try to write some new letters.

Coming back home, I wanted to do nothing. It was like I was not enjoying my job anymore. And ok, being far away from everybody sucks ! God, I need to leave Paris !!!!!! 

I finally motivated myself to work (ok, cuz somebody asked me three times if I had news about Paris...) and got a little hope... the hope gave me jokes, and jokes convinced me that it will be impossible for me to leave them ! I couldn't survive !  God, I hate my boys !

Two songs for you tonight !

Crash this train - by Joshua James

I discovered Joshua James through Sons of Anarchy, cuz his cover of No Milk Today was the opening of the season premier. 

I'm so in love with his music and his voice !

The other one is a cover by a french singer, Milkymee. She's covering the wonderful Always On My Mind, and I think that her cover is a very very good one ! 

This singer is important for me cuz, I discovered her in November 2009, at the [TIME*] event, just before meeting all my boys !

Have a goodnight !

You always want what you haven't got - update

Yes, on Thursday, I was a little bit sad to learn that he had a girlfriend. She's sweet, but, I never liked his girlfriends.

I always want what I haven't got, but I can live with that.

I would love to hear one of my friends saying "come with me I take you out for dinner"
I realized, yesterday, that my last date was... a very long time ago. I think I miss that.

Somebody To Love - by Queen 

Somebody To Love - covered by Brittany Murphy

Thank You For ...

... The Music

Thank You For The Music - covered by Amanda Seyfried

Thank you for the music.
Because Music is a passion, 

And since few years, this passion is not just a dream, it's a reality.

I have my first job in Music Industry.

So, Thank You For The Music !

No Zeros

Tonight, Mum and Dad was having their "back-to-work" dinner with some Dad's colleagues.
I know some of them, met new ones, it was a nice evening (and is not over, some are still here at 00:53 ...)

I talked about my "job" and was thinking about the people I met.
One year ago, when she was pregnant, I was graduate from Uni and was almost meeting my little protégés.
I was talking about them, thinking about my last drink with Walter, my meeting with Christophe, thinking about my future.

I don't know why, all those talks brought my hope back. I know my life will be wonderful, and this is why, tonight, I'm sharing this amazing song with you. Sorry if I already post it, but I love that song.

No Zeros - by Gloria Cycles

And because it's time to go to bed for me, I want to share this one song with you.
Remember my post about Joshua James and how he was opening the Season Premier of Sons of Anarchy Season 03 ?

I finally found his cover of No Milk Today, and think it's the best song to go to bed. Don't want to go to bed with my protégés' music in my mind ...

No Milk Today - covered by Joshua James & Forest Rangers

Original here.

Goodnight !

Day 23 : Music for the last Person I kissed

He already has 6 songs :
- Il est né le Divin Enfant
- Résiste
- Laisse Tomber les Filles
- LoveGame
- Lucky
- Anyone Else But You

Here is another one, because he is the last person I kissed !

I think the song is perfect for that crazy relationship !!

Bad Romance - by Lady Gaga

and because I love it :



Bad Romance - covered by 30 Seconds to Mars
Live @ Live Lounge - BBC Radio
(March 29, 2010)



Bad Romance - covered by Lissie
Live @ (I don't remember where ...)
Discovered here

L.O.V.E.R.M.A.N

Did I ever tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE this cover ???!!!

I discovered it last year when I was listening to the album Garage Inc., covers by Metallica.
The album was released in 1998 but I listen to it, entirely, for the first time in 2009, when after talking about Metallica at the Uni (because of the release of Death Magnetic), I had the idea to re-discover the band !

I looked after the original version on YouTube. What a mistake. The only version I'm able to listen is that one, with James Hetfield's voice ... I love how he used his voice : nice, angry, scary, reassuring ... I love it ... And the melody ... The bass... No sound, everybody's making a short silence, and big drums !!!!!!!!!! Oh God, one day I'd like to marry Lars Ulrich (and if I cannot marry him, I will marry another drummer !!)

I loved listening to that song with a big sound level, feeling the bass under my feet on the floor !

I love that song !!!!

Loverman - covered by Metallica
original by Nick Cave

"Loverman! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I got a masterplan, yeah
To take off your dress, yeah
And be your man, be your man, yeah
Seize the throne, haha
Seize the mantle
Seize that crown, yeah
'cause I am what I am what I am what I am, plus I am
I'm your loverman"

PS : ideas for future posts

- few years ago (no manyyyyyy), I made my Muse's TOP 50. Because I made it before they released Black Holes & Revelations, H.A.A.R.P (yeah, because sometimes a live version is much better than a studio), and The Resistance, I have to update it. I will post the old and the new Top 50.


- I wanted to make a TOP 10, impossible, TOP 20, impossible, so I made a TOP 50 for Muse. I think I will make others TOP. Next (following my collection of CDs ...) :

* TOP x of Electronic Music (including : Air, Archive, Birdy Nam Nam, Ez3kiel, Hint, Hint vs Ez3kiel - because some of them are much better than Ez3kiel alone or Hint alone, Vuneny, and Yuksek. If I think about others artists/bands, I will include them)

* TOP x of Metallica, from Kill them All to Death Magnetic, including some live versions

* TOP x of Alison Krauss with and without Union Station

* TOP x of Soundtracks

* TOP x of Covers

* The list is not closed because those ideas are from my CDs collections. I haven't check on my iTunes collection !!


I don't know when I will have the time to select the songs.

Orion

I could have put this video in my "Master vs Student" playlist, but I didn't.

One of my friends saw them on stage at Bourges, he is in love since that day. I'm waiting for my turn ...




Orion - covered by Rodrigo y Gabriela
Live version

I saw that video, and since that day I like him more than before ... Finally, it's easy to change your mind about one guy in one band !

Cross Roads

Remember my post about Across the Universe movie (This Is A Story About) on this blog, and the other one "I talked about it few days ago" (on my other blog Day By Day)

My essay was about the myth of the black man who sold his soul the the Devil against the virtuosity in Guitar play. The original man, the one who sold is Robert Johnson.

Yesterday, I was at a CD store, looking for different things (that I didn't find), and I found two CDs of Robert Johnson. I bought them both.

Back home, I put one the the CD in my Hi-Fi, and I was back to Lyon, back to the class room D108, back to the class made by Gilbert Rapatel ! So, thank you Robert Johnson ! Here are some of his best songs (my opinion), and two surprises ...

Crossroads - by Robert Johnson



Come On In My Kitchen - by Robert Johnson



Last Fair Deal Gone - by Robert Johnson

I was listening to the CD, here comes "Come in my kitchen", and I began to sing it too ... Same thing with "Last Fair Deal Gone" ... I look at the titles, and realize why I know those two songs ... Thank you True Blood, watching this TV Show made me discover Crooked Still, and so, their two covers ...

Come On In My Kitchen - covered by Crooked Still



Last Fair Deal Gone - covered by Crooked Still
(Live @ Father's Day Bluegrass Festival)

Enjoy this sunny day !

You can be heroes !

So ... I've been picked up today, again !
Hard day, but, strangely, I was feeling good after the debate and the verdict. Last night, after the first debate, and the first verdict, for the first case, I was really really bad, and impossible to cry and think about something else !
When the accused admit the crime and say "Yes, I'm guilty", you know that the member of the jury will say "guilty", but it's hard to realize that one day, with 8 other people (and 3 magistrates in France), you wrote on a piece of paper "yes" or "no" to answer to the question "does he have to go to jail or not ?"


So, because I judge 4 people in 4 days (there were 3 accused for the first case), I think that I'm kind of hero ... :)



Heroes - by David Bowie



Heroes - by Peter Gabriel

His name is ...

Yesterday, my post was "Creep" by Radiohead, and I closed it with two videos coming from the TV show Rock Star Supernova.

What can I say about this TV show... Well, I watched it on the Internet, thought that some contestants were bad, others were great ! Here there are.

Tomorrow, indictment by the public prosecutor, defences by the three lawyers, the accused's speeches, and then deliberation !
Last day for the first case ! I'm so tired !!

Original song ... I chose this one (in fact, my iPod choose this one on my way back home)



Creep - by Radiohead
Original music video here



Creep - by Timo Räisänen

I don't like Lukas, but his version is good (even if, in my opinion, it's not his best performance)



Creep - by Magni
Live @ Rock Star Supernova TV Show

I liked Magni, but not his best performance ...

(I go back to my notes about the trial for tomorrow)

Two live versions of this song, a BIG preference for the symphonic one and the debate I had with one of my friend. I think it's a wonderful song. The orchestra change the song and the arrangement is very good. My friend Charlie thinks it's too much ... But great song anyway !
