Σήμερα έκανα και την πρώτη μου προσπάθεια για να κάνω παστίτσιο...
χωρίς καμία βοήθεια...
απολύτως...
μόνο ένα "σκονάκι" απο την μπεσαμέλ...
και πέτυχε...yeah!
η δεύτερη εικόνα ίσως να μην σας γεμίσει το μάτι -μπορεί να σας αηδιάσει κιόλας- γιατί οπτικά υστερεί, αλλά πιστέψτε με είναι γευστικότατο...
τελικά δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω που δυσκολεύονται οι "νοικοκυρές" και αραδιάζουν ιστορίες κόπωσης...
σκουπίζω, πλένω (πιάτα και ρούχα), μαγειρεύω (πλέον ΚΑΙ παστίτσιο), σιδερώνω -σπάνια αλλά δεν είναι και τίποτα τραγικό-,έχω και τα πιτσιρίκια μου, αν μπορώ να διορθώσω κάτι το κάνω...αλλά πραγματικά δεν νιώθω κούραση απο αυτά... (κι όλα αυτά σε ενα υπέροχο βαλιντσάκι που λέει κι ο μπαρμπαΣτάθης)
οπότε για μένα καταρρίπτεται ο μύθος περί "νοικοκυράς"...
Νομίζω ότι είναι ο καιρός οι άντρες να ζητήσουν ισότητα...
I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine I got no time for livin' Yes, I'm workin' all the time
It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me They call me the working man
They call me the working man I guess that's what I am
I get home at five o'clock And I take myself out a nice, cold beer Always seem to be wonderin' Why there's nothin' goin' down here
Well, they call me the working man I guess that's what I am
Την ίδια ημερομηνία (1η Μαρτίου) αλλά 2 χρόνια νωρίτερα (1972) βγήκε ακόμη ένα αριστούργημα για την rock μουσική...
Οι τεράστιοι Deep Purple, οι οποίοι -τότε- ήταν οι Ian Gillan (φωνή) Ritchie Blackmore (κιθάρα), Roger Glover (μπάσο), Jon Lord (πλήκτρα) και Ian Paice (τύμπανα) -γνωστοί και ως MkII- έγραψαν το Machine Head, με σπουδαία τραγούδια, όπως Highway Star, Pictures Of Home, Smoke On The Water, Space Truckin' -σχεδόν όλα τα είπα-
Ένας δίσκος που τους πήγε κατευθείαν στο νούμερο 1 στα charts της Αγγλίας και Αυστραλίας, και νούμερο 7 στα billboard της Αμερικής (παρέμεινε 118 εβδομάδες στο top 200...118 εβδομάδες)
Ακόμα κι ο πιο αδαείς με την rock θα έχει ακούσει σίγουρα το Smoke on the water -δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία γι'αυτό-
ίσως κάποιοι όμως να μην γνωρίζουν ότι έμπνευση για το συγκεκριμένο τραγούδι ήταν μια συναυλία του Frank Zappa -στον ίδιο χώρο που θα παίζανε και οι Purple αργότερα- πήρε φωτιά η οροφή...
Απο τον συγκεκριμένο δίσκο έχω 2 μακράν αγαπημένα, το "Pictures of home" και "space truckin'"
Μερίδιο στην επιτυχία παίρνει κι ο παραγωγός Martin Birch(θα τον συναντήσουμε και σε άλλους υπέροχους δίσκους)
Αρκετά τα λόγια...ώρα να απολαύσουν μερικοί αυτόν το υπέροχο σε δύναμη δίσκο...
n' joy
Nobody gonna take my car I'm gonna race it to the ground Nobody gonna beat my car It's gonna break the speed of sound Oooh it's a killing machine It's got everything Like a driving power, big fat tyres and everything
I love it, and I need it I bleed it Yeah, it's a wild hurricane Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my girl I'm gonna keep her to the end Nobody gonna have my girl She stays close on every bend Oooh she's a killing machine She's got everything Like a moving mouth, body control and everything
I love her, I need her I seed her Yeah, she turns me on Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my head I got speed inside my brain Nobody gonna steal my head Now that I'm on the road again Oooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything Like a moving ground, throttle control and everything
I love it, and I need it I seed it Eight cylinders all mine Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my car I'm gonna race it to the ground Nobody gonna beat my car It's gonna break the speed of sound Oooh it's a killing machine I it's got everything Like a driving power, big fat tyres and everything
I love it, and I need it I bleed it Yeah, it's a wild hurricane Alright, hold on tight, I'm a highway star I'm a highway star, I'm a highway star
Peeping round the door I got a big surprise Couldn't see a thing but open skies They've taken her away, where is she now
Wish that she was here, wish she'd hold my hand Maybe she could laugh, maybe understand Why was I so cruel, where is she now
Acting like a fool I had to make her cry Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now
Somebody's shouting Up at a mountain Only my own words return Nobody's up there It's a deception When will I ever learn?
I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home
Wondering blindly How can they find me Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking Anticipating The call of the black hooded crow...
I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home
Here in this prison Of my own making Year after day I have grown Into a hero But there's no worship Where have they hidden my throne?...
I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home
Somebody, somebody Come to my side I'm tired, I'm crying I'm sick inside My woman, that woman Just wasn't right
Help me now, please my friend I never felt so bad before Never never before
So funny, so funny Just like a show One name, two people All in a row Somebody, somebody Someone must go
Help me now, please my friend I never felt so bad before Never never before
I was hurt when I was younger By a woman who was cold She took my name She took my body And she threw away my soul
Can't hide, I can't hide My misery I know my sorrow Won't set me free She did it, d'you see She did it to me
Help me now, please my friend I never felt so bad before Never never before
We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky & Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky Smoke on the water
You're lazy, you just stay in bed You're lazy, you just stay in bed You don't want no money You don't want no bread
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw You don't want to live You don't want to cry no more
Well my trying ain't done no good I said my trying ain't done no good You don't make no effort No, not like you should
Lazy you just stay in bed Lazy you just stay in bed You don't want no money You don't want no bread
We had a lot of luck on Venus We always had a ball on Mars Meeting all the groovy people We've rocked the Milky Way so far We danced around with Borealice We're space truckin' 'round the the stars
Come on, come on, come on Let's go Space Truckin' Come on, come on, come on Space Truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot? And Pony Trekker led the way We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop And everynaut would dance and sway We got music in their solar system We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on, come on, come on Let's go Space Truckin' Come on, come on, come on Space Truckin'
The fireball that we rode was moving But now we've got a new machine Yeah yeah yeah yeah the freaks said Man those cats can really swing They got music in their solar system They've rocked around the Milky Way They dance around the Borealice They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come on, come on, come on Let's go Space Truckin' Come on, come on, come on Space Truckin'
Τον Μάρτη του '74 (συγκεκριμένα 1 Μαρτίου) κυκλοφόρησε ένας σπουδαίος δίσκος για την progressive rock μουσική...
Οι Andrew Latimer (κιθάρα, φλάουτο και φωνή), Peter Bardens (πλήκτρα και φωνή), Doug Ferguson (μπάσο) και Andy Ward (τύμπανα) έγραψαν 5 τραγούδια όλα κι όλα, αλλά αυτά ήταν που άφησε το mirage ως ένα απο τα καλύτερα -αν όχι το καλύτερο- άλμπουμ των Camel.
Όλοι βέβαια πρόσεξαν το εξώφυλλο που θυμίζει το πακέτο των ομώνυμων τσιγάρων...(έπαιξαν κι αυτά τον ρόλο τους για την επιτυχία του δίσκου)
Το αγαπημένο μου μακράν είναι το Lady Fantasy, (το παίζαμε κιόλας με μια μπάντα) αλλά πιστέψτε με, όλος ο δίσκος είναι πραγματικά υπέροχος...
Επειδή η αρχή μου είναι να μην κουράζω, παραθέτω βίντεο και στίχους...
Όποιος δεν γνωρίζει κάτι για τον συγκεκριμένο δίσκο, αν δεν έχει κάτι καλύτερο να κάνει, ας του δώσει μια ευκαιρία να τον ακούσει...
I'm in a freefall, like a snowflake falling, Down, down, down, down, down. I close my eyes inside my head I starfall Helpless to the ground. Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah.
Smoke rings around me and bright sparks of fire Flash by as I go. I've got the feeling and it takes me higher Than I'll ever know. Go, go, go, go, go. Oooh.
When he rides, my fears subside, For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies, To find a land beyond night. Once he wore grey, he fell and slipped away From everybody's sight. The wizard of them all, came back from his fall This time wearing white. He has a certain air, as if he's never there, But somehow far away. And though he seems afar, like a distant star. His warmth he can convey.
Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold I can see by your smile, Take a long while, The words that come through, I see that they're true, For she reminds me of you. Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain I can see clearly, A face in the sky, Moon's in your eye, You're passing me by. Tell me the reason why. I can see clearly, A face in the sky, Moon's in your eye, You're passing me by. Saw you riding on a moon cloud, Saw you walking on a whirlpool, From the corner of my eye, I saw you. Saw you sitting on a sunbeam, In the middle of my daydream, Oh my Lady Fantasy, I love you.
Πως αντιδράει κανείς όταν του λένε ότι είναι "άχρηστος";
Ότι είναι "ανεπαρκείς";
Απογοητεύεσαι σίγουρα..πόσο μάλλον όταν είναι και δικός σου άνθρωπος...
Κι απο την στιγμή που δεν μπορείς να ξεφύγεις απο αυτή την κατάσταση, προσαρμόζεσαι...
Η αχαριστία θα έπρεπε να είναι ακόμα ένα θανάσιμο αμάρτημα...
Δεν πειράζει...
Το δικαιολογώ αυτό το άτομο γιατί ακόμα δεν γνωρίζει τι θέλει...δεν έχει ωριμάσει...
Οπότε δεν μπορείς να έχει απαιτήσεις απο κάποιον που δεν έχει κατασταλάξει στην ζωή του...
....
Αυτό όμως που πιστεύω ότι φταίει πραγματικά είναι ότι θεωρούμαι δεδομένος...
Κι εγώ, αλλά κι ότι κάνω και προσφέρω...
...
Κι απορώ... πόσο τυφλός να είναι κανείς, που ενώ αυτά που προσφέρεις δεν τα συναντάς εύκολα, να μην του φτάνουν και να απαιτεί περισσότερα;
...
Δεν πειράζει..ειλικρινά...
Σφίγγω τα δόντια και προχωρώ...
Πλέον ξέρω πως ένα άτομο απο την λίστα μου έχασε κάποια προνόμια...
κρίμα γι αυτό...
...
Με καλή διαγωγή και αυστηρά κριτήρια, ίσως να καταφέρει να τα ανακτήσει...
Ίδωμεν...
Ingratitude must die!
I've been hurt so many times And been told so many lies No one cares what's on my mind At all
I feel lost while on my own There's no place I call home But I still want to believe I've not been mistreated Not been mistreated
It's my heart that goes on To believe there's someone Who needs me to carry on 'till the end I'm holding on I've not been mistreated Not been mistreated Not been mistreated
I know in ways - have to be strong Pouring my strain - it's turning out wrong Feels like a stream of endless old fears But I still want to believe I've not been mistreated Not been mistreated Not been mistreated I've not been ...
These are the days when dreams are lost
Bleeding in vain and wearing the cost Of nonpaid lies - i'm crying for help But I still want to believe I've not been mistreated Not been mistreated Not been mistreated I've not been ...
I've tried more than once before To find out what i've done wrong Still don't know how to go on To understand why i've been mistreated - mistreated Still don't know where to go Stil got no place I call home - call home I've been hurt so many times And been told so many lies No one cares what's on my mind At all
I feel lost while on my own Can't believe there's someone Who needs me to carry on I'm holding on I've not been mistreated Not been mistreated I've not been mistreated
