I have been listening to the Beatles all time since a week or so but I’m now 100% sure that they are far the best band ever. I think every member of human race needs to listen to them at least once.

I wanted to share a short text part of Derek Taylor from his book “Fifty Years Adrift” which made me very impressed. Please read the excitement and enthusiasm of the people that time!

“I have never seen anything like it. Nor heard any noise to approximate the ceaseless, frantic, hysterical scream which met the Beatles when they took the stage after what seemed a hundred years of earlier acts. All very good, all marking time, because no one had come for anything other than the Beatles…

Then the theatre went wild. First aid men and police – men in the stalls, women mainly in the balcony – taut and anxious, patrolled the aisles, one to every three rows.Many girls fainted. Thirty were gently carried out, protesting in their hysteria, forlorn and wretched in an unrequited love for four lads who might have lived next door.

The stalls were like a nightmare March Fair. No one could remain seated. Clutching each other, hurling jelly babies at the stage, beating their brows, the youth of Britain’s second city surrendered themselves totally.”

P.S.: The text is copied from the Beatles’ official website.

I remember clearly when I first met (heard) Nirvana. The day was rainy, cold in Istanbul and we were riding back to home with our shuttle bus. The cassette (Yep, not a CD) was one of the girls from the upper class. It was the “Bleach”…

I felt in love with that song… The lyric tells everything about a relationship and pure feelings in it, pure love or need to love… Now, after approximately 10 years I am listening to it again and feel the same as I felt that day.

I just want to add some parts of lyrics Kurt Cobain has written for the rest of the world who can’t tell what they feel…

I need an easy friend
I do, With an ear to lend
I do, Think you fit this shoe
I do, Won’t you have a clue

Polly wants a cracker.
Think I should get
off her first.
I think she wants some water.
To put out the blow torch.

It isn’t me.
We have some seed.
Let me clip.
Your dirty wings.
Let me take ride.
Don’t cut yourself.
I want some help.
To help myself.
I’ve got some rope.
You have been told.
I promise you.
I have been true.
Let me take a ride.
Don’t hurt yourself.
I want some help.
To help myself.

Polly wants a cracker.
Maybe she would like more food.
She asks me to untie her.
A chase would be
nice for a few.

Polly says her back hurts.
And she’s just as bored as me.
She caught me off my guard.
It amazes me, the
will of instinct.

After reading in Savas Sakar’s blog, I’ve searched about SimplifyMedia, which simplifies (!) listening music at work. I couldn’t test it right now, but I think it’s a cool software. I hope it’ll work at my work, too. This is my primary job for today to go home and install it.

Actually, if you have an iPod there is another way to listen to the music in your iPod without synchronizing it with iTunes. You can download floola and connect your iPod to your computer with the connection cable - start listening!

Yesterday I actually forgot to mention that I was at a university fest, SUSenlik in Sabanci University. I really wanted to go there especially to see a band live - Gogol Bordello. I really liked them, I was so curious for them because after hearing the music genre they genereate (the combination of gypsy music and punk) I said myself: “What a taste of music, hell yeah!” :)

Gogol BordelloTheir performance is really cool. I hope they will come to Istanbul again.

(They were here before in winter but I missed them because the concert was not on weekend. I was really upset but now I am happy! ;))

I just wanted to write some lyrics of them (the song is: “Dogs Were Barking” - at the time I write these I listen to this song :D):

 

“I met a crazy dancer,
a party tabashi
She held me by the hair I held her by the aaass
…nananana…
She was a crazy dancer…
…nananana…
She was a crazy dancer

Baja kuka napade original mixtura
z ulice do ulice to brilia bazhura
beat fun cool feel extoura
vyderzhit li vyderzhit aparatura!
…nananana…

And the dogs were barking, and the guests were parking
and the monkeys clapping and girls were cutting loose
thinking bout things, things that are eternal,
when her mother came up to me and said.
Dogs were barking.
