rock – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:55:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 ‘The Kryos Noise’ is available on Spotify http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2021/01/22/the-kryos-noise-is-available-on-spotify/ Fri, 22 Jan 2021 17:38:52 +0000 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/?p=3439 The prog rock album I’ve worked on years ago with the band Kryos Project is now available also on Spotify (and Amazon too).

Why? Well it just feels good to be able to open up Spotify and listen to your own music. This is stuff we’ve made almost 20 years ago (!) but it still feels kinda relevant. Fresh. Well.. you know what I mean.

I used Distrokid to handle the distribution to all major services. It’s a bit fiddly to work with and the overall UX is rather barebones, but it does what is supposed to for a pretty damn honest price!

Jeff Beck live at the Royal Albert Hall http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2010/10/28/jeff-beck-live-at-the-royal-albert-hall/ Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:15:23 +0000 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/?p=926 Quite an amazing evening with Beck rocking the RAH out the other night; the man is well over 60 (born 24 June 1944) but still performs with great confidence and inventiveness. I loved every minute of it!

Rock intermezzo http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2010/02/14/musical-intermezzo/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:26:19 +0000 http://magicrebirth.wordpress.com/?p=554 Some songs I’ll never forget – still giving me the shivers as it did when I was a kid.

….

Rolling down the highway, going to a show
Stopping on the by ways, playing rock n roll
Getting robbed, getting stoned
Getting beat up, broken boned
Getting had, getting took
I tell you folks, it’s harder than it looks
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you think it’s easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock n roll band
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Baby’s on the hard sell, know the reason why
Getting old, getting grey
Getting ripped off, underpaid
Getting sold, second hand
That’s how it goes playing in a band
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it’s rough and mean
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
Gotta tell ya
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It’s a long way, it’s a long way, it’s a long way

If you’re havin’ trouble with your high school head
He’s givin’ you the blues
You wanna graduate but not in ‘is bed
Here’s what you gotta do –
Pick up the phone
I’m always home
Call me any time
Just ring
36 24 36 hey
I lead a life of crime
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they’re Done Dirt Cheap
You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
(She’s) He’s double dealin’ with your best friend
That’s when the teardrops start – fella
Pick up the phone
I’m here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We’ll have ourselves a ball
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they’re Done Dirt Cheap
If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain’t got the guts
She keeps naggin’ at you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts –
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It’s time you made a stand
For a fee
I’m happy to be
Your back door man
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they’re Done Dirt Cheap
Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT
Done Dirt Cheap
contracts, necties, high voltage
Done Dirt Cheap
dirty deeds done dirt cheap (X2)
