Madness
The Liberty of Norton Folgate
18.05.2009

Their first studio album since 1999’s 'Wonderful', 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' comprises fourteen tracks of quintessential Madness; subversive, expansive British pop music at its finest as you would expect from one of the country's most successful and enduring bands.

As with all previous Madness albums, 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' features songwriting contributions from across the band and is a timely reminder of the ability of this unique act to turn their hand to multiple musical styles. The band's home town is the star of the show from lead track 'We Are London' through to the closing 10 minute finale of the title track, celebrated for its diversity and characters and as the backdrop to the tales of lives lived. Few bands have come close to soundtracking London in the way of Madness and 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' is an audio guide to the greatest city on earth.

The title is inspired by one of those wonderful quirks of British law. Norton Folgate is a small area of East London distinct from the surrounding borough in terms of local government, an original 'libery' drawing its administration from the people of the area. Originally the haunt of actors and artists, including Christopher Marlowe, Norton Folgate is symbolic of the spirit and independence of London and its people, a city built on innovation and adventure...

Bruce Springsteen offers his new single
(free download here)

Workin' on a dream
I hear the nights are long the days are lonely
I think of you and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Now the cards I’ve drawn is rough and darkened
I straightened the back and … I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream (come on)
I’m working on a dream, though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream, and I know it will be mine someday

Rain pouring down I swing my hammer
My hands are rough from… working on a dream
I’m working on a dream (let’s go)
I’m working on a dream, though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay
I’m working on a dream, well our love will chase the trouble away

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

The sun rises up, I climb the ladder
A new day breaks and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream ...
I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday
I’m working on a dream, oh it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream, and our love will make it real someday

"I hope`Working on a Dream' has caught the energy of the band fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever done"
B. Springsteen

Trick or Treat ?

I choose the musical treat...

Happy Halloween from The Boss.
Bruce Springsteen is offering a musical treat to his fans this Halloween.
He posted, around midnight Thursday, a scary new song, "A Night With the Jersey Devil," as a free download on his website. He is also showing, there, a video he made for it.

He plays the legendary Jersey Devil himself, telling his tale as a gritty blues stomp.
"Sixteen witches cast 16 spells/Make me a guitar out of skin and human skull," he growls, at one point.
"So kiss me baby til it hurts," he commands at another. "God lost in heaven, men lost on Earth."
He emerges from a swamp or river at the start of the video, and sinks back into it at the end. Fires rage, dogs howl.

"Dear Friends and Fans,
If you grew up in central or south Jersey,
you grew up with the "Jersey Devil."
Here's a little musical Halloween treat.
Have fun!" Bruce Springsteen

Hey Bruce,
I didn't grow up in Jersey but
I'm a little Belgian devil and I ain't scared of you
even with your dark eye...
You're the sexiest devil I've ever seen !

Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon
Spit out hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it's deep and wide
I go down, I don't die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out'cha your happy home

Ram's head, forked tail, clove hoof, love's my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go

Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She's my one and only and her name is Baby Blue...
Thank you Boss for this great video and song !

You're the best and definitely the Jersey Devil !

Black Ice

We've been waiting so long for this new album... 8 years ! Now it's there and no worries AC/DC hasen't changed !
After several listenings to the new album I think it's time to post a little something....
15 rockin' powerful songs with some great beats and amazing guitar riffs !

Brian Johnson's voice is great and pretty strong maybe better than before, Angus's riffs are still the best, the lyrics stay AC/DC and the beats are really entertaining !
I can't wait to hear these songs live... especially Rock 'N Roll Train, Anything goes, War Machine, Decibel, Wheels and so on !
This album really kick ass !
