The Strokes Polska

taak.
od wczoraj ciągle za mną chodzi you put me in the magic position, darling.

Augustine i Magpie są piękne.
głos Faithfull trochę mnie przeraża;)

a ja konsekwentnie 'accident & emergency' :]
najbardziej mi się podoba.

ale ogólnie po przesłuchaniu trzeci album nie zrobił na mnie takiego wrażenia jak dwa poprzednie.

Accident tyle razy przesłuchałam wcześniej, że słuchając płyty przeskakuję na inny kawałek. znudziło mi się.

Magpie i Overture to prawie arcydzieła.

jedyny mankament płyty to wg. mnie Bluebells. może gdybym nie słyszała stare jwersji, nie wydawałoby mi się, że ta jest aż taka okropna.

masz na myśli wersję akustyczną?

mhm.

Cytat:

dear all...
I should never have read this.. I really shouldn't.
I dont think when I was 16 and dreamt of releasing records there would ever
be so much crazy speculation about the person I am and that you want me to be.
I have become so tired of this behaviour, sometimes I wake up and have to do six hours
of interviews before doing a show, then go straight to bed to sleep a couple of hours
to fly to a new country to be cross examined in the same way.. I dont know what is left of
me sometimes, some mornings i dont know how i get on the flight or even open my mouth to sing that night. If I choose after working since the early hours of a day and then pouring my heart out for an hour and a half that I really have nothing left to give.. that I cannot be a fake politician and sign autographs for an hour.. does this make an asshole?
because my drummer was causing arguments within my road family, taking sedative drugs before an important show in a city i really love, so much so he could not play the music I wrote, the songs that I have survived on in the last six years... because I had to slap him to see if he was even CONSCIOUS on stage.... the fact that the only thing that got any reaction out his corpse happened to be made of metal.. because all of this.. does this make me seem like I was on cocaine, or on some power trip? I was pissed off because this was just one more musician or businessman taking my good nature and generosity for a ride... trust me, that moment onstage was the end of a long line of bad behaviour that it would unfair to go into in public. Yes I was drunk, but It was one oclock in the morning after seven hours of interviews.. i had been running on about four hours of sleep a night for about two weeks... such is the joy of promoting a record. Anyway, I was having FUN until that moment. So was the rest of my band until we realised my drummer was taking the piss out of all of us and our hard work. I dont work with liars and I dont work with thieves.

I dont want to have to share this information with you but so many seem so interested...

I have made a decision, my final concert will be this november, a retrospective with an orchestra in London. I am not sure wether there will be anymore public communications after that, Infact I am pretty sure there will be none. Of course, this has nothing to do with my drummer.. but a creative clock is ticking and I have many many projects to be creating with my time left on this earth. I hope to share my last shows with you this year.

I have enjoyed making and performing music for you all, I have enjoyed trying to give a little hope
and inspiration to the world. But I feel, especially when I read all this and I go about my days that I have failed.
Im not seeking sympathy or empathy, god, I have to go find something I love and am inspired by in this world again. Many of you will never know the amount of work and emotion that goes on behind the scenes for me and many of your other favourite artists or musicians and why should you? I wanted to give you disneyland.. I wanted to give you a world at the back of your wardrobe, now im just feel a fool for bothering.
I am in berlin today, i know I should never have read this, I dont know who any of you are, just strangers talking amongst themselves,
and I wish I was stronger minded today, but i have to take enough bullshit from other parts of the world for what I do and who I am without getting it from here.

Im going off for a walk now.. clear my heart and head. Thanks to all you with the intelligence to see past the superficial chaos of the media and the various ridiculous personalities and characters that have been painted around me over the years, the problem is, unfortunately many of you will never get to know the truth, but many will still speculate, and play chinese whispers with interviews and
opinions from the friend of a friend. This is nothing new to me, unfortunately, luckily I have always had a close set of dear friends that will always know me for who I really am, just as I do.

If I can give any advice, is, if anything, just listen to the music, watch the videos, read the lyrics, see the artwork, these are my communications, not others.

still love x patrick

wczoraj się załamałam.
a dzisiaj myślę, że to nie może być prawda.

powiem Wam tylko tyle, że świat się wali ^^

myślę, że taka osoba jak Patrick nie wytrzyma bez tworzenia muzyki. Nie może nam tego zrobić. Nie zostawi nas.

To nieprawda. O.

czytałam, że podobno płyty będzie nagrywał, ale koncertów nie będzie.
wiem, że to lepiej niż gdyby miał nic nie robić.
ale MUSZĘ pojechać na jego koncert!

właściwie to chyba nikt nie wie o co chodzi.

może jutro zmieni zdanie.

no właśnie chciałam dopisać, że nie byłam jeszcze na jego koncercie, więc nie może po prostu ich nie grać.
Ważne, żeby nie przestał pracować. Co do koncertów może jeszcze zdanie zmienić. W końcu mężczyzna zmiennym jest ;]

a póki co, pozostaje czekać, aż się wyjaśni i nie panikować.

aaa
jak nie panikować
ja się dziwię, że od wczoraj jeszcze nie wybuchłam

to niesprawiedliwe.
kiedyś w końcu by do nas przyjechał.

spokojnie, spokojnie... ;)
ja ostatnio wszystko przyjmuję ze stoickim spokojem- przygotowuję się na przyjęcie wyników badań, może dlatego, w każdym bądź razie, jak sama napisałaś właściwie nikt nie wie, o co chodzi, więc proszę mi tu nie panikować, bo się nerwicy nabawisz, a przed maturą to niewskazane (przepraszam, że przypominam ;]).

a jeśli rzeczywiście to się okaże prawdą, to naślę na niego swoją mafię- od razu chłopak zmieni zdanie :D

kiedyś pewnie tak. Teraz na pewno nie.

dlaczego nie?
jeżeli naprawdę w listopadzie będzie ostatni koncert, to wypadałoby, żeby do listopada ruszył dupę i pojawił się w polsce.
zwłaszcza, że teraz trochę osób go tu zna.

no bo nie :P
nie, tak mi się wydaje, że po prostu nie. Ile czasu Borrell się zbierał do nas, a jaki jest teraz popularny ? I tez pewnie by nie przyjechał, gdyby nie Eska... no, mniejsza z tym. Ale jeśli rzeczywiście w listopadzie miałby odbyć się ostatni koncert Patricka, to wskazane by było, aby się u nas pojawił... No niby trochę osób go zna, ale mało kto docenia jego muzykę... ^^

zresztą, on jest jeszcze młody- 23 lata ma, więc niemożliwe jest, że tak szybko się wypalił. Ma za dużo potencjału i pomysłów :)

nie wierzę.

Cytat:

Pitchfork: So you're still planning to write and record music, and for a long time?

PW: I've got so many projects. I've got this double record.

Pitchfork: Do you have a name for it?

PW: There are two working titles. I'll just give you one. I've done a lot of research, and my new inspiration is England in 1666, like during the Plague and the Great Fire. It reminds me of times right now in the world. It's going to be a lot more realistic than a lot of my work before and very much trying to tackle some current affairs in my own way. I realize Joni Mitchell's doing her political record, [so] it's maybe time for me to pull my finger out and join the army. It might be called Hard Times, like the Dickens book, and I might be working with Alec Empire from Atari Teenage Riot. I met him the other night in Berlin, and there's definitely some musical inspiration going on.

Pitchfork: Is it going to be a concept album using the 1666 England comparison?

PW: No, I think in the same way that the first album used werewolves and Eastern European folklore, this is really-- some of the metaphors I'll be using are a little more medieval, Elizabethan, and pagan. There's no manners to the record at all, kind of going back to the time when there were no toilets and you just poo in the street and there were diseases everywhere, because it's kind of a bit like that now, in many places. I went to the London Dungeon really drunk one time and got a lot of inspiration for songs.

Pitchfork: And it's going to be a double album?

PW: Well, there are two albums. So maybe it's going to be two separate albums, two albums at the same time, like a double release. Both are written, lyrically. One of them is going to be orchestral: extremely beautiful and celebrating neuroses and mental breakdowns. [The other will be] hard and techno and almost like death metal.

I think within electronic music there's too much politeness in the last five years, and it's become maybe too much of a lifestyle accessory. So I want to take it back into a digital hardcore world, but I still have the songs to match the beats, so I'm very excited to start working on it. And the orchestral project is going to be huge, of course, because it's going to be like me making a symphony, so that's going to take a lot of time. I won't be able to do shows during that time.

denerwuje mnie.
aż mi się go słuchać ostatnio odechciało.

nie chciało mi się tego wklejać, bo wiedziałam, że ja wrócisz, to to uczynisz, zresztą, gdy Ciebie nie było i tak nikt by się tym nie zainteresował.

ech, no cóż... (nie wiem, co napisać)
