THE LIGGERS Peel Session (1980)

Μια απ'τις συμπαθείς μα βραχύβιες και με ελάχιστη δισκογραφική παρουσία μπάντες της μετα-πανκ περιόδου που ξεπήδησαν στο Μάντσεστερ, παράπλευρα στη Object Music, οι THE LIGGERS, εμφανίστηκαν σε κανα-δυό συλλογές της εποχής κι έκαναν ένα radio session για το ΒΒC..."Πρώτα πεθαίνουν τα Όνειρα" τραγούδησαν το Σεπτέμβρη του 1980 στο show του John Peel. Ύστερα χάθηκαν. Κι αυτή η μικρή φτιάξτην-μόνος-σου ομορφιά έκτοτε τους στοιχειώνει...

Paper Cup

Here’s my paper cup;
won’t you fill it up?
It should last just long enough for me to drink.

Soon my time is up;
soggy paper cup
falls apart so flimsily and spills my drink.

Pour it all in
My paper cup is waterlogged
but the liquid reached my lips.

Why should I give up,
when my paper cup
gives me drinks, and even sometimes gives me thirst.

Pour it all in.
For all intents and purposes
my old paper cup is all I need.

[lyrics by David Garland]

Paper Cup

"I want to be free of stylistic assumptions, so that as i create music i'm not thinking about traditions, but instead i'm working with the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, words and sonic color to built a new and true experience" -David Garland

St. Atom HRT605 - Smiling Autumn Leaves

Smiling Autumn Leaves: Unobtrusive Ambient that flirts with nature sounds and images, revoking familiar, tender (and sometimes repressed) feelings, and often points -and refers to- nostalgic visions.

A quite interesting, home-made production by St. Atom HRT605.
