Artist by artist

This picture was created yesterday, on the festival of acoustic music "FAG Žalec 2010". Artist named Rok Komel was sitting in the last row of the hall and drew each of the entertainer. The above photo shows the moment when he drew me. Interesting :)

Library: part 2

Cool. Yesterday I was in the library and I paid the debt of 5 years old and now I can rent the book again. The feeling is incredible! I almost forgot how it works, but to go to the library and you borrow a book. After such a long period of expulsion, I already got that bit in the library can not do more than just look at the shelves and imagine how it would be good to have something from it in the hands of the home and what they read. Do not get me wrong I quit reading or bred resentment against the books. Quite the contrary. Due to inability to hire me even more stuck ... Any views on the shelf of literature on music and history of computing has attracted me a little sad and nostalgic. And of course a lot of desire and its ability to borrow to take something from this. And now, as this again after five years we can do very happening. Amazing, free. Access to other worlds to me, a little more open and accessible. Cool.

Working class hero (cover by Tilen Hrovatic)

I recorded this song about a year ago...and I made this slideshow to promote it. It's my cover of John Lennon's Working class hero. In my opinion one of the best songs ever made! And I'm so mad when people tell me: "Hey, that cover of Green Day that you performed was awesome!" What??? So now I have a little speech on my gigs before I play this song, introducing John Lennon to this world.

How to describe your life with five songs

Everyone has their own story. And each song has its own story. Human characters and stories are often very similar, so often found together. Do you ever find that while listening to music while reading books or listening to, and read your feelings and life story? Probably almost everyone can find what song in which he appears to have written in his life ....

Is this only satisfy their loneliness, or give rise to even more depression and unfortunately I do not know. But I know for sure that it considers songs such great help. Poems are my personal and the national anthem.

Music may be the largest drug and exit, or the biggest pain. If you have your favorite songs to listen to as much as possible and realize that you are not alone. In listening to these songs you move to a world that is known only to you and which one you can not take it. Here you are at home!

Someone said once: The question is whether people listen to sad music or sad music makes a sad man. What do you think?

And how to get this biography into five pieces? Which five songs would really almost completely describe your life and your vision of the world, your feelings?

My list is here!

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

Metallica - The Unforgiven

Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Eminem - The Way I am

Queen - The Show Must Go On

Kaj pa sestavlja vaš seznam?

Ray Lamontagne - Empty

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."
There's a lot of things that can kill a man,
there's a lot of ways to die,
listen, some already did that walked beside me.
There's a lot of things I don't understand,
why so many people lie.
Its the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.
Will I always feel this way?
So empty, so estranged.

FAG - Festival Akustične Glasbe 2010

In še uradni opis:

Poletje bo minilo, kot bi psa sunil v rit! Da pa se bomo imeli česa veseliti tudi po dopustniških dneh, vas že sedaj nadvse vljudno vabimo na dvodnevni FESTIVAL AKUSTIČNE GLASBE "FAG Žalec 2010"!

Dogodek smo razdelili na dva večera:

-------------------------------------------------
- prvi koncert bo v petek, 27. avgusta ob 20h v dvorani KuD SVOBODA v Grižah. Nastopili bodo odlični izvajalci, ki pa so ...bili žal še premladi, da bi nastopili na zloglasnih žalskih akustičnih festivali v letih med 1979 in 1984, jih pa preveva podobna odbita senzibilnost, ki je prevevala že takratne protagoniste.

Z nami bodo:

eksotično - tripaški duet Danijela Jerković & Alojz Studen - Luj,
osebno-izpovedno-zabavni Aligatorji,
filozofsko navdahnjen Tilen Hrovatič,
odfukanci Krtkenmal
in karizmatični Martin Ramoveš!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- drugi koncert bo dan kasneje, torej v soboto, 28. agusta ob 20h v dvorani Doma II. slovenskega tabora v Žalcu. Nastopili pa bodo tisti veterani, ki so uspešno oplodili že žalske akustične festivale v osemdesetih, so pa še vedno živi, aktualni in akutni!

Zamišljali vas bodo:

bluzer tako in drugače Brane Mihajlovič - Kosta,
etno diva Klarisa Jovanovič ob spremljavi Luka Ropreta,
tripaški starosta Veno Dolenc,
starajoči se tripač Dani Bedrač & Co.,
valujoče-prešernovski Tantadruj
in hudomušno prismuknjen Adi Smolar!

Oba dogodka smo pripravili v Glasbeno-literarnem društvu ALETHEIA iz Žalca v sodelovanju z žalskim Zavodom za kulturo, šport in turizem.

Se vidimo?

Fiona Apple - "Across The Universe"

Exellent version of Across the Universe, originaly recorded by The Beatles. I really like this cover, mainly due to a specific and unique vocal of Fiona Apple that takes me in a special state of mind. Just great!

Uncut version. Song included in the movie "Pleasantville".
