From « Down in Hell » (first song) with Jerry Spider Gang a punk-rock band from Toulouse who played in Marseille a few months ago to « Living in Eden »(last song) with Nitwits a new young band from Marseille, you could listen to « Shoot the dice, Fucker » with the 1’s from Belgium (Manny the singer and bassist is almost a French man from Toulouse who played a lot of time in Marseille) and « Soave » with Kill the Thrill from Marseille and their new released album « Telluric ». A lot of good music. I hope you will like it.
PS : special guests opening the show : Adam Becware from the Black Halos and Chris Bailey from the Saints.

  

Jerry Spider Gang and The 1’s in action, Kill the Thrill at coffee break.

Thanks to Radio France International-Medias du Monde ! In their interview about Podcasting in France where I had the great honor to open and close (in a hot ambiance ! oh ! Laurence !) their show with Meltingpod, their expression « Annie’s rockers friends from Marseille » inspired me in my episode N°10 to let more place to « the strangers » who love playing in Marseille and gave me friendly their songs to play in my show; they are a good example of meltingpod: Adam Becware from the Black Halos (born in Brisbane- Australia, live in Chicago-USA), Michael Butler from American Heartbreak (born in Florida-live in San Francisco) and Chris Bailey from the Saints (born in Kenya-live after Belfast, Brisbane…at least in Amsterdam).
Adam played in the same band as Mike and was born in the city where Chris formed his band the Saints.
Some pictures I took during their concerts on the same stage in Marseille at different periods : Adam in 2003, Mike in 2002 and Chris in 2005.

I have at least a new little mic, the same as before but it’s mine now !
The show about Europe Day comes late but we don’t care. In this new podcast, you will listen to the three bands who came to sing for Europe Day May 9th 2000 in Marseille; it was a little festival produced and managed by Eurocircle which was called : Europe Off !
I invite you for a long travel around the world : from Marseille to Melbourne (Australia), Berlin to San Francisco via Bahia (Brazil) with Silvio Ricarti, Sah’ra (Algeria-Kabylie) with Hakim Hammadouche and Montreal (Quebec) with the Magic reality of Balthazar. We don’t need passports !

  

Hakim, Silvio and Riad playing music at home, Mike playing guitar for me on the internet from his Rock and Roll Geek show studio in San Francisco, and a very nice big studio mic lent by my new sponsor the rock singer guitarist Bea Paradis from Sub Rosa.

9/05/05 Europe Day

6 commentaires

May 9th is « le Jour de la Fête de l’Europe, Europa Tag, Europe Day » : it’s time to have fun together before the results of the French referendum on the European Constitution : suspense for exactly 20 more days !
I have no mic more to record a podcast; thanks to the band Kill the thrill who was my sponsor and lent me a good mic for two months; they needed to take it again to work with a band in their recording studio. I need money to buy another one. I hope to find a quick solution.
Meanwhile I give you my last pictures on my second favorite beach near Marseille : poverty is not so hard with the sea and the sun !

 

The effect « Marseille » : Are they Italians, Germans, English or French men ?
What are they speaking about : the European Constitution, Gazoline price or Women ?

13 to 22/04/05 From Marseille to Berlin

2 commentaires

I’ m in Germany until April 22 th, on the way to Berlin via Köln and Braunschweig near Hannover visiting friends and family.
I’m trying to post some colors and sounds from Berlin next week.

18/04/05 : I’M IN BERLIN !!!!! AT LEAST !!! Der Himmel ist blau, the sun shines, green is arriving on the trees !!! Spring, Frühling im Berlin, the best season !
I’m connected again with my computer directly on the internet…thanks Markus !!! Kiss from Berlin to everyone !
I run outside now….

20/04/05 : I moved from Wedding to Kreuzberg, my favorite place in Berlin but I lost my « private internet café » at Markus’ home.
During these last days I collected a lot of pictures and a few ID with a little recorder (not very good but it’s better than nothing) in a new punk rock bar (for me) : « Trinkteufel » (drinkdevil) a very cool place; tonight it’s planning the ritual visit at Wild at Heart and I hope to have something good to record for my next podcast. I’m working on it quietly back home in Marseille next week-end. It’s too complicated for me here.

22/04/05 : I am back home again with my suitcase full of strange colors and sounds from Berlin and my second interview with a real Meltingpod drummer…I ‘m preparing a nice page for the web blog and a new podcast for you in the next hours…

Some pictures where Chris Bailey from the Saints was joking on stage under my digital eyes’ shoots in the back of his guitarist who played a solo !!

       

In the new podcast, you will find some songs of the Saints’ last album and a short « interview » at the bar with Chris in a funny ambiance of laughs and noise of glasses’ wash up. Hope you will like it !
Some words from the unrecorded interview :
Christopher Bailey born 11/29/56 in Africa (Kenya), family’s origins from Northern Ireland, lived in Australia, England, Sweden, Amsterdam now, formed the Saints in 1973 :
« I can’t imagine the world without France : The people talk a lot here, give their opinion about everything, they fight to obtain the respect of their differences… they cut the kings’ head.
In Marseille people smiled to me : I felt me good here tonite on stage !
I’m not a rock star, I never want to be a pop star…I played with the Saints in little clubs and on very big stages, I was high and down…I continue because I love what I do, just playing music and meeting people.
I feel me guilty to speak with you during the other guys are carrying the gear…sorry I must help a few minutes !
Yes, I didn’t drink water on stage, I drank white wine ; I love French wines : I have friends of mine who give me sometimes their house’s keys in Bourgogne, and I take my bicycle on the little roads to go drink a little Chablis… »

More about Chris Bailey : this interview from Foster Child fanzine.
More pictures : the review of my dude photographer Pirlouiiiit from liveinmarseille/concertandco-marseille : we often are beside each other at rock concerts and do like a funny shoot’s competition to capture the best light of rockers’ attitudes; that night I chose to shoot him taking pictures and he shot me smiling to the music (cf my interview) !!

7/04/05 Burning Bush Tour !

2 commentaires

To be precise, it’s the name of the European tour 2005 of The Saints ! They burned and seduced Marseille last night…ROCK AND ROLL in CAPITAL !!!
The club was absolutely packed and to take pictures I was crushed against the stage : though it was a good place to live the concert loud and near the source of the energy; from the first seconds the band and the audience were connected…shared pleasure !

  
     
     
    (click to enlarge the last picture)

Then I made my very first live interview for my podcast…with Chris Bailey !! It was not scheduled but Chris accepted to play the interview after the concert even if he was very tired, even if I had a ridiculous record player without extern microphone which refused to restart when we moved from the bar to another quieter place to speak. But it was not really a problem for him, we continued the conversation without recording until we were the two last persons in the concert room and until the owner of the club shouted from the street he wanted to close !!
I will give you in my next podcast (soon) the 5 minutes saved from the punky trashy funny interview at the bar and I will try to write here on the blog some sentences I remember from the conversation after the record player’s crash.

8/04/05 : I just got an e-mail from Chris (still in tour during two weeks more) who gives me the agreement to play the songs of the last album : « Nothing is straight in my house« ; I forgot this famous night to ask his agreement for my podcast and for those who could not run to the next concert of the Saints in Europe. It’s OK now, we could burn our Bush together on podcast too !
