computers and blues


It was originally reported that Skinner said that the fifth record would be similar to Lou Reed's Berlin.[6] He later stated in a blog that he was misquoted, and that the album would sound like the city ofBerlin, not the album by Reed. He went on, saying that the album will be "ravey".[7]

"The final Streets album (the fifth one) will be dark and futuristic. This could not be further from the album you're about to hear, but it's what is on my mind at the moment. I feel inspired by the synthesizer exhibition we just visited in Graz [Austria] after the gig we just did."[6]

On 6 August 2008, Skinner stated on his MySpace blog that the title of the final Streets record will be Computers and Blues, and that it will likely not be released for at least two years.[8] He has repeatedly stated that it will be the last Streets album, remarking that he is "fucking sick" of the name and connotations that come along with it.[9] In a Beat Stevie episode where he describes the making of Everything Is Borrowed, Skinner says that the final Streets album will be "one more banger" and will be "dancing music to drink tea to".[10]

On 14 April 2010, Skinner announced that the first single from the album would be "I Love Phones" which will be released in July 2010. Skinner also stated that a single he recorded with rapper Giggsnamed "Slow Songs" would be included on the album and will be released in August 2010.[11]

everything is borrowed


Everything Is Borrowed is the fourth album from The Streets. Released in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2008,[1] and in the United States on 7 October 2008,[2] Skinner describes the album as a "peaceful coming to terms album"[3] and as containing "peaceful positive vibes" which stand in stark contrast to the previous album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living,[4] which Skinner has described as a "guilt-ridden indulgence".[5]

The album's first single, "Everything Is Borrowed", was released on 29 September 2008.[6] In the months leading up to the album's release, "The Escapist" was offered online as a free download, accompanied by a music video.[6] The video (directed by Ted Mayhem)[7] follows Skinner as he walks 770 miles from Dover to a beach in France,[8][9] a feat Skinner actually undertook.[10] "Who Knows Who", a track Skinner recorded with the band Muse, was leaked in August 2008 and was initially believed by many to be a track from the upcoming album, until refuted by Muse.[11]

During the recording of the album, Skinner states that he "threw away more music than is on the album now," as he was unhappy with the material recorded, but that "the album is a product of all the stuff I threw away, it was important to the album."[12] Everything Is Borrowed will be the penultimate album from The Streets; Skinner has said that he signed a five-record deal, and that he always envisioned a five-album box set.[12] Eight music videos were made for the album, culminating with "On The Edge Of A Cliff" being released on 7 April 2009 (videos were not made for "The Sherry End", "Alleged Legends" and "The Strongest Person I Know").[13][14]

original pirate material

The Streets-Original Pirate Material [2002]


Original Pirate Material is the debut album by the English rapper and record producer Mike Skinner, better known as The Streets.

The album is a unique take on UK garage and lyrics dealing with everyday circumstances and occurrences. The album received massive acclaim from the music press and was embraced by fans of indie and rock music, as well as fans of garage. The album originally rose to #12 on the UK Albums Chart in 2002, but peaked at #10 in 2004 after the release of his significantly more successful second album A Grand Don't Come for Free. In Australia, Original Pirate Material peaked at #57.

In the United Kingdom, five singles were released from Original Pirate Material: "Has It Come to This?", "Let's Push Things Forward", "Weak Become Heroes", "Don't Mug Yourself" and "The Irony of It All".

The cover artwork photograph of Original Pirate Material is by German photographer Rut Blees Luxemburg called Towering Inferno. The towerblock pictured is Kestrel House on City Road, London, which has now been fitted with an wind turbine.

Pitchfork Media rated the album as number ten on their list of the top 100 albums of 2000-2004. They later placed it at 36 on their list of the best albums of 2000-2009.

In March 2003, NME placed Original Pirate Material at number 46 on their list of the "100 Best Albums of All Time".

In November 2009, NME placed Original Pirate Material at number 9 in their list of the "100 Best Albums of the Decade". and Observer Music MonthlyObserver Music Monthly announced Original Pirate Material as the best album of the decade.

CICLO DE CINEMA NO TERRAÇO
Quarta, 7, 14, 21 e 28 de Julho às 22h00

Em Julho, sempre às quartas, a ZDBMÜZIQUE apresenta mais um Ciclo de Cinema dedicado à música. A singularidade das propostas musicais, não só unifica as quatro sessões, como representa um dos critérios fundamentais da nossa selecção. Ao longo do ciclo, atravessaremos as últimas três décadas de criação musical em busca do que se posicionou nas margem e se alimentou da exploração dos limites, construindo assim um legado de absoluta pertinência artística. Maioritariamente provenientes das artes visuais, estes artistas ofereceram à criação musical uma procura da individualidade e uma rejeição profunda do expectável. Esta não-pertença é o que os pode unir.

Assim irão ser apresentados 4 filmes que gravitam nas raias do documentário/documento artístico e que de forma transversal nos ajudam a perspectivar uma abordagem transgressora e exploratória da música.

Na primeira sessão, exibiremos o filme, em formato Super 8, de Ericka Beckman, artista nova-iorquina que em “135 Grand Street, New York, 1979” perspectiva, de forma transversal, toda uma geração de artistas – de Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham ou Theoretical Girls – que enformaram o movimento No Wave.

As curtas-metragens inaugurais da filmografia de Vivienne Dick em que participaram vários artistas e músicos como Pat Place (The Contortions & Bush Tetras) e Lydia Lunch, revelam não só uma linguagem musical, mas também uma visão política e social emergente do meio Nova-Iorquino dos anos 70 .

Herdeiros maiores dos nomes supracitados, os Sonic Youth serão aqui representados através dos Noise Films realizados por Lee Ranaldo, Leah Singer e Chris Habib. Da autoria de Ranaldo, a mostra seleccionada, detém-se sobre o trabalho performativo da banda nova-iorquina.

Finalmente, o trabalho em curso de João Milagre pretende ser um documento singular e pioneiro no registo da música exploratória portuguesa, e surge de uma urgência em captar a essência de um grupo de artistas e músicos – Manuel Mota, Tropa Macaca, David Maranha, Afonso Simões, entre outros - que têm vindo a redefinir um novo paradigma na nova música portuguesa, criando um espaço nunca antes habitado.
