VINILE Festival


From vinyl records of 70 'to the futuristic trends of tattoo artists. The rock changes, it evolves over the years and the Citadel, in Padua, for two days of hosting the best live rock music and lifestyle, but also of new musical influences. An idea was born to celebrate the closing of the thirty-seventh season of "Vinyl Club", a local historian Rosa, in Vicenza, has always been a point of reference for the underground Venetian. Special guests The Black Lips (USA).
The style is not just rock decibels. That is in the superb setting of the sports hall will be made for a historic exhibition spaces of vinyl from the Fifties to today, with dozens of exhibitors from all over Italy, but also from Germany. An opportunity for hobbyists and enthusiasts to buy and trade their music in the first exhibition of vinyl to be held in the Citadel. Next, will be celebrated the first tattoo convention in Veneto, with a selection of the best tattoo artists. Each will have a space where to show their creations. But the real news will be the sun, where whoever wants to can get tattooed during the festival or just watch.






The lineup of the festival is still being defined, what's new hours are expected. But the certainty is that the Black Lips, a historic band from Atlanta, Georgia, known for their vintage garage punk they like to call "flower punk." Famous for their live performances to the limit (between 2006 and 2007 Black Lips ended up in the pages of Rolling Stone and The New York Times with fireworks, nudity, vomiting and chickens on stage). In 2007, their first live album titled "Los del mundo nuevo valientes", recorded in a strip joint in Tijuana, Mexico, led them to worldwide fame, even if the tour to India (2009) are nearly arrested on charges of homosexuality because of a kiss (alcohol) that are traded on the stage. Following the album "200 Million Thousand" by 122 dates between Europe and the United States. From here three years must pass before seeing the Black Lips in the studio. This time, however, to accompany the four, there is producer Mark Ronson (producer of Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake), called to give shape to the new job. Arabia Mountain in June 2011 and marks out a small place in the discography of the band: less punk and more pop sounds for more cared for and cleaned.

Perfect Day

Lp of the day is Perfect Day, by Lou Reed.

"Perfect Day" is a song written by Lou Reed in 1972, originally featured on Transformer, Reed's second post-Velvet Underground solo album. Its fame was given a boost in the 1990s when it was featured in the 1996 film Trainspotting, and after its release as a star-studded BBC charity single in 1997, which became the UK's number one single for three weeks. Reed re-recorded the song for his 2003 album The Raven.
A cover recorded by Duran Duran reached #28 on the UK Singles Chart in 1995.
The original recording, like the rest of the Transformer album, was produced by David Bowie, with guitarist Mick Ronson providing the arrangement.
The song has a sombre vocal delivery and slow, piano-based instrumental backing balancing tones of sweet nostalgia ("it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you") with an undercurrent of menace ("you're gonna reap just what you sow").The  line alludes to Galatians 6:7: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."




From a music theory point of view, the song is complex. Where the chorus is in a straight forward major key, the verse cannot be captured in a single key. It starts with the tonic chord of the parallel minor to the chorus key - deceivingly hinting that it is written in that key - but then continues with a number of descending fifths progressions. It eventually ends in the dominant chord of the chorus key, making the song explode into the chorus.
The song's lyrics are often considered to suggest simple, conventional romantic devotion, possibly alluding to Reed's relationship with Bettye Kronstadt (soon to become his first wife) and Reed’s own conflicts with his sexuality, drug use, and ego.
Some commentators have further seen the lyrical subtext as displaying Reed's romanticized attitude towards a period of his own addiction to heroin; this popular understanding of the song as an ode to addiction led to its inclusion in the soundtrack for Trainspotting, a film about the lives of heroin users.
Reed's original recording was featured on an AT&T commercial featuring snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler that ran during the 2010 Olympics.




This is a Perfect Day!
