Gianna Nannini: The Italian singer
If the Italian singer, as male, has a lot of prominent names on the female side, however, everything begins and ends, more or less, with Gianna Nannini. That, in spite of the ways, shall we say, unconventional, fully devotes his art to his manifestation of the woman. In a manner unprecedented for the Italian public, although accustomed to extravagance of Patty Pravo, or Berté Loredana. Firstly because Nannini is the author of nearly all his texts (and its music), and also because its language and its dimension are outside of all territories praticati. Fresca studies already carried out - but not completed - at the Conservatorio di Siena, Gianna Nannini take his career record in Milan, in theInterview with Anneke Van Giersbergen
Appointment is made with Anneke Van Giersbergen in , 2008.
1) This will be a year in June that you left The Gathering, in retrospect you today on this choice, you feel regret?
Anneke: Say it is always difficult to end a long phase of his life, but well worth it. I needed to do other things, to get out of a routine, I find myself. This was as you can imagine very hard to make, but it was needed. After much thought, I informed my companions of The Gathering, we have all talked a lot and they accepted my decision. I had periods of doubt in the future and I have no regrets, if only to emphasize my family by passing more time with my son and my husband (Rob Snijders, drummer Agua de Annique).
2) The reactions were many after the announcement that surprised everyone. Some were even quite virulent, some criticized t’ont indeed having announced your departure from The Gathering and the creation of Agua de Annique in a time too close. The opinion of fans in general you hold dear? Have you paid much attention to these controversies? Read the rest of this entry »
The album of the year
The favorite band of the UMP, hahaha. The favorite of your little brother, your sister, your big cousin, even your mother does not find it so bad. MGMT or how to make NVTBL. The Pet Sounds of fluo generation, Sergeant Pepper’s era of Pitchfork, the Forever Changes to listen to “shuffle”. The group and the disk on which it probably does nothing more to say. The Disneyland of contemporary pop music, where, however, lurk ghosts as terrifying as those of Roger Hodgson, Freddie Mercury and Jeff Lyne. MGMT, the disc of the year 2008. Finally, for you, especially . Read the rest of this entry »
The latest album “No Line On The Horizon,”by U2
If you believe the British journalist Simon Reynolds in his exciting Rip it Up & Start Again, from the beginning, U2 was devoured of a megalomaniac ambition. “Everything was” great “at home, says Reynolds, the themes of the lyrics, the voice of Bono, the size of their sound, their ambition and determination.” He spoke of “fervor” and “characteristic moral content” to “try to build on the energies of rock” but also “self-sacrifice for a greater good” and “faith” in both the Christian religion as “humanism left. Today, this is clearly a plate: the U2 have may not be as famous as Jesus Christ and sell less than the Beatles, they exist in the Eternal Glory to the Kingdom of Ipods, music consumed by the More and even tapes in the back to the leaders of this world. And this God they seem to think so, after creating a world, they also branlent really a. Read the rest of this entry »

The album “Years Of Refusal”
Discovery of the Smiths to 16 years in 1986 Bigmouth Strikes Again in English. Big culture shock, high identification with certain texts, later wanted to become Johnny Marr. Venerate the Smiths does not prevent me out in acid-house, or listen to the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, or even eventually consider the group as deeply reactionary, although still valuable 25 years later. Hang the DJ because the music that he plays has nothing to do with my life. I find the song lyrics but the super double-edged: already at that time the music of the Smiths who has nothing to do with my life and not the house, funk, rap, rock fusion, Happy Mondays, Primal Scream and all that the group is conchier mine.
