More details of course, if you listen to the show.

Zagreb is really becoming musically interesting! Two music festivals in one week, not bad. To remind you, first one was "Thirsty Ear Festival" which featured various contemporary artists such as Calexico, Jason Collett, Tena Novak and others (listed are the ones I liked).
Also another festival is called Jazzarella and is a female jazz festival. Quite simple, but unique idea, don't you think? I attended Lynne Arriale Trio & Deborah brown and it was OK. A lot of people said that Diane Schuur Quartet was also great, but I simply could not make it.
Yesterday (21.5.) was Bob Dylan's birthday, which is less important, and also my love's birthday, which is much more important!

In this show, you will find some interesting music, some old some new, and also my "hello" to great singer/sogwriter who is no longer with us. One of his albums is called No Deeper Blue.

On the picture you will find Jason Collett performing in Galerija SC. He does not sometimes sound Dylanish, but obviously even sometimes looks like him on stage.

Enjoy Americana! Lots of music, and a little talk about "Zedno Uho  (Thirsty Ear) Festival # 7 which is currently going on in Studentski Centar, Zagreb (5-18.5.2006). My congratulations to organizers - interesting contemporary bands, and also some good old ones! See for yourself - visit www.sczg.hr !

Zavrsavamo sa bandom Switchyard sa www.garageband.com - njihova muzika nije jazz, nije pop, nije indie, vec je sve pomalo!

Kao sto sam najavio u protekloj emisiji, bio sam na rijeckom karnevalu. Konacno je bilo zadovoljavajuce vrijeme. Odlicno smo tulumarili (svaka cast belgijskoj pivnici As u Rijeci, a veliko cudjenje usluzi i ponudi  Hemingway-a u Rijeci :-( ). Karneval je odlicno organiziran i bas je bilo super! Slika prikazuje prethistorijske motore K.U. "Izgubljeni u vremenu" iz Nove Gradiske. Dragi decki i cure, svaka cast !
Puno pozdrava svim bikerima!

Cujemo se uskoro!

SEDNA .::. Podcast #25 - Karnevalsko izdanje

Zapravo je samo jedna pjesma i slika na blogu posvecena karnevalu, a sve je ostalo po starom, ne bojte se!

Danas slusamo Natalie, Jenny i ostale iz njenog banda, Tim-a te Robbie-a. Kao i uvijek ako zelite doznati ostale detalje morat cete poslusati emisiju :-).

Ovim putem se svima zelim zahvaliti na korisnim (i srecom, pozitivnim!) komentarima na emisije, a one koji se jos nisu javili pozivam da to ucine sto prije, najlakse je mailom na sedna.podcast@gmail.com

Dok cete vi ovo slusati, ja cu se zabavljati na karnevalu u Rijeci. U cast tome, slika uz danasnji podcast je snimljena 2004 u rijeci i prikazuje grupu koja je imala radni naslov "Mad Max"

Pusa svima!

SEDNA .::. Podcast  #24 - Pomalo od svega....

Pred vama je (dosad) najduza i stilski najraznovrsnija emisija...

Pocinjemo s Renatom Metessijem i starim hitom Zvijezda (poseban pozdrav Papku!), nastavljamo sa cool NY bandom Ida, nakon toga selimo u Belfast iz kojeg nam dolazi Burjcris. Ne, ni izdaleka nam nije dosta pa ponavljamo jo�¡ jednu pjesmu od Ida-e, a onda predstavljamo "recording artista" Andrew-a i njegov band The Main Drag. Zavrsavamo sa Jenny Lewis i odlicnom pjesmom s njenog posljednjeg (solo) projekta.

Uskoro pocinjemo pustati muziku od record kompanije magnatune.com a dolaze i druge... Puno se lijepih novosti kuha na vasem omiljenom podcastu, ali idemo malo po malo...

Ako zelite predloziti muziku, ili dati komentare - pisite mi na: sedna.podcast@gmail.gom ili naravno na http://sedna.libsyn.com   

Slika je zimska, i nadam se da ce to biti posljednja zimska slika koju cu gledati slijedecih 6-9 mjeseci. Pozdrav proljecu!

Ne, to nisu Peter Paul and Mary, vec tri zanimljiva izvodjaca. John prestavlja album covera Tom Waits-a, Bettye nastavlja uhodanim soul stazama, a Jenny je krenula u solo vode, i to po mojem misljenju - super uspjesno! Vise detalja, naravno u samoj emisiji!

BTW, dolaskom sunca, blizi se trenutak ponovnog koristenja ljubimca sa slike!

Katell, Let3, Michelle, Mary - sto oni zaboga imaju zajednicko?

Odgovor je- nista, osim mene :-)

Naprosto, oni su mi pali na pamet ove ugodne veceri rane veljace 2006. Po mojem misljenju, svi su odlicni. Let3 jer su otkaceni, Mary jer ima predivan glas i zna ga koristiti, Katell jer je inventivna a Michelle, jer je prava rockerica. Sjetite se samo "Anchored down in Anchorage".

Danasnja slika prikazuje jednog mog dobrog prijatelja koji vise nije s nama. Bok Togo!

Samo kao info, otvorena je nova mail adresa: sedna.podcast@gmail.com

Cujemo se!

Lijeno nedjeljno popodne uz SEDNA .::. Podcast

Sto raditi tokom hladnog i lijenog nedjeljnog popodneva? Imam prijedlog - slusajte Fionnu, Karisu, Bridget i Bena te izdrzite povremene verbalne eskapade Vaseg domacina Stjepka!

Nitko osim Fionne nije nesto pretjerano poznat, ali ako Vam se dopadnu njihovi uratci, kupite CD-e (da, ima ih za kupiti), ili poslusajte jos ponesto od njih na www.garageband.com.

BTW, za sve one koji su bili na Dylanu u SC-u, zanima me Vase misljenje - ima li smisla nastaviti sa takvim vecerima? Recite kaj mislite ili komentarom na sedna.libsyn.com ili mailom na sedna.podcast@gmail.com!

Album Cripple Crow (s kojeg pustamo tri pjesme u SEDNA.::.Podast #20) ima 22 pjesme! Covjek koji je zivio u USA, Venecueli, najavljivao indie bandove u klubovima Pariza, te cesto zivio na rubu egzistencije je napravio ODLICAN album. Ako si date truda i poslusate cijelu plocu, i to ne samo jednom, sigurno cete biti zadovoljni. Koji je to stil muzike? Psihodelija? Indie? Retro? Nemam blage veze, ali Devendra Banhart je napravio dobar posao.

Ostavite komentar na http://sedna.libsyn.com i recite sto mislite o ovoj mjuzi

Pusa i do skorog slusanja!

Ako jeste, bit ce vam drago poslusati ga opet, a ako niste, onda je krajnji cas da to ucinite! Sudjelujte u revivalu feelinga "pred centrom"!

Dakle, ovako - u subotu, 21.1.2005. ce u Klubu SC u Zagrebu, Savska ul. biti odrzana vecer Bob Dylan-a. Pocetak je u 20:00h.

Na programu je:

* predstavljanje knjige Bob Dylan, Spomenar 1956-1966 u izdanju Algoritma

* DJ night sa poznatim Dylanolozima - John Wesley Harding-om (ponekad ga zovu Ognjen) te Mr. Jones-om (vas domacin na podcastu, Stjepko)

Kao uvod u tu zanimljivu vecer, poslusajte ovu SEDNA .::. Podcast emisiju, u kojoj radim uvod u dogadjaj o kojem je rijec. Emisija je malo duza, nadam se da ce vam se svidjeti.

Kao i uvijek, pls. saljite komentare na http://sedna.libsyn.com ili na mail stjepko@gmail.com

Pusa,

Mr. Jones.

P.S. Posebni pozdrav prijateljima Drazenu i Nenadu koji jedini imaju izgovor da ne dodju jer su u USA. Svi ostali - "pred centar"!

Iliti Weight Of The Wait!

Christa pjeva o jednom svom zivotnom problemu. Koji nije mali. A ona ga opisuje na vrlo zanimljiv nacin, drugacije od npr. Ane Srsen, a slicno im je...

Ako vas zanima vise, procitatje pjesmu, detalji na internetu, a ako vas JAKO zanima, a ne mozete naci rijeci, javite mi se na stjepko@gmail.com ili ostavite komantar na http://sedna.libsyn.com Ah da, zaboravio sam da mozda znate dobro engleski pa cete slusajuci cuti sve sto treba :-)

BTW, ovo je prvo terensko javljanje SEDNA.::.Podcast-a!
Pozdrav sa Langlaufa u Val Gardeni!

The Decemberists sa svojom pjesmom July, July!

Zanimljiv band ciji frontman na zanimljiv nacin zivi u vremenima galantnih muskaraca i intrigantnih dama  garnirano sa pokojim pustolovom, istrazivacem, moreplovcem, "dobrim" gusarom i kraljem...

Band kojeg cete zasigurno jos slusati na SEDNI! Vise o njima na Internetu ili na nekom od CD-shop-ova. A cujem da ih ima za kupiti i u ZG!

Javite se komentarom na http://sedna.libsyn.com ili mailom na sedna.podcast@gmail.com

Christa je u Londomu i ima svoj "Famous Blue Raincoat Moment"!

Cool! Mislim kako je ona dosta slusala medju ostalima i Natalie Merchant, sto se u ovoj situaciji pokazuje kao dobra investicija u njenu muzicku buducnost!

Javite se sa komentarima na http://sedna.libsyn.com ili mailom na sedna.podcast@gmail.com!

Ljiga na kvadrat? Ljiga svih ljiga? Stjepko potpuno poludio?
Ja se nadam da ne. Naprosto jos jedna stvar od Holly, starog Williams-a kci. Lagani tempo, jednostavan aranzman, i dobar glas. Sad jos fali samo cigara, whiskey i vjeran pas. Pa priustite si bar nesto od toga i uzivajte u ovoj emisiji. Vise detalja naravno na njenim www stranicama a i u CD Shop-ovima (ima u HR- kupio!)

Javite se s komentarima na http://sedna.libsyn.com !

Ljiga? Necu vam rec, to cete morati prosuditi sami! Holly dolazi iz obitelji Williams, sto joj je sigurno pomoglo da je pokoji muzicki manager poslusa prije nekog no name umjetnika. No, ono sto je cuo je bilo, bar po mom misljenju, vrlo zanimljivo. Poslusajte Holly, i posjetite njenu stranicu www.hollywilliams.com.

Krajnje je vrijeme da predstavim band "Prosincasi" iliti The Decemberists!
Slucajno nabasah na njih surfajuci netom, pa sam ih onda jos i nasao u Aquarius cd shop-u u Zagrebu. Moram priznati kako mi se to obicno ne desava - da nadjem novu muziku koja mi se svidja u svom lokalnom cd shopu. No kako kaze stari Bob - "The Times They Are A' Changin'". Vrlo zanimljiv band, vrlo zanimljiva muzika, a pogotovo interesantna lirika. Za detalje, posjetite njihov www site - http://www.decemberists.com/.
Na kraju - nevjerojatan podatak da SEDNU gotovo 50% slusatelja slusa iz JAPANA!!!! Super cool, i sasvim je moguce da cu zbog publike (jer, I Was Also Meant For The Stage :-) ) prijeci na emitiranje na engleskom jeziku. Pa cu tako i zavrsiti:
 

Hello and all the best to all my international listeners, especially ones from Japan!
I would like to hear from you, so either e-mail me on stjepko@gmail.com, or leave a comment on http://sedna.libsyn.com !

May all cards you receive have more optimistic content than this one!
All the best for all our listeners and readers, especially ones from Japan, Australia, India, Ireland!
Sve najbolje svima (this was Croatian :-))
Stjepko

Enjoy reading the song!

Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis
Tom Waits, Blue Valentine, 1978

hey charlie i'm pregnant
and living on the 9th street
right above a dirty bookstore
off euclid avenue
and i stopped takin dope
and i quit drinkin whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track

and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every saturday night.

and hey charlie i think about you
everytime i pass a fillin station
om account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and i still have that record
of little anthony & the imperials
but someone stole my record player
now how do you like that?

hey charlie i almost went crazy
after mario got busted
so i went back to omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone i used to know
was either dead or in prison
so i came back to minneapolis
this time i think i'm gonna stay.

hey charlie i think i'm happy
for the first time since my accident
and i wish i had all the money
that we used to spend on dope
i'd buy me a used car lot
and i wouldn't sell any of em
i'd just drive a different car
every day, dependin on how
i feel

hey charlie for chrissakes
do you want to know the
truth of it?
i don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone
and i need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer
and charlie, hey
i'll be eligible for parole
come valentines day

Holly, Tom, a bogami i Stjepko ne zele odrasti! Uzivajte u umjetnosti Holly Cole. Super muzicari, odlican glas, smooth jazz i vec vise od 10 godina prepjeva (u vlastitim aranzmanima) tudjih pjesama. U ovom podcastu slusajte kako Holly pjeva Tom Waitsa koji kaze kako ne zeli odrasti :-)

Minimalna produkcija. Jednostavni aranzman. Lijepi glas. Dosadno? Nekima vjerojatno da :-) No, svakako poslusajte super obradu starog hita Arethe Franklin, vrijedi utrositi 5 minuta! Rebecca je iz Skotske, svira apsolutni fusion raznih stilova - folk, pop, jazz, i Keltski narodni! CD se prodaje na Chesky records, a ima ga i u dinatonu u Zagrebu!

My Mistake - Pamela iz San Francisca. Meni zvuci kao mlada Natalie Merchant. Vrijedi poslusati! Vi�¡e o njoj svakako potrazite na www.garageband.com

Kako da ne vidim? Nastavljamo sa Headoneast! Za detalje o njima, posjetite http://www.headoneast.org/

Poslusajmo debi album ove zanimljive grupe. 11 glazbenika, puno instrumenata, dobra produkcija, tip muzike? Longue? Fusion? World? Ma to uopce nije vazno kad je dobro. Preporucujem bolji HiFi sustav i sto manji nivo kompresije :-) Letite s grupom Headoneast!

Provjerite sami! Pjesma je zanimljiva i moze se koristiti kao uvod u njenu muziku. Ako zelite saznati i slusati vise - www.reginaspektor.com, i naravno CD shopovi diljem Interneta!

Jeli cover bolji od originala? Natalie je dobra ali je Katell 100 puta bolja kad pjeva svoju vlastitu pjesmu. Rijeci su ODLICNE. Vise saznajte na www.katellkeineg.com ili na http://www.myspace.com/katellkeineg ... If you could unlearn all the words That you never wanted heard If you could stall the southern wind That's whistling in your ear You could take what is, what is, what is To what can never be ...

Pjesma govori o covjeku kojem je "graduation day is so far away" i koji ima tronogog njemackog ovcara s kojim ima problema jer zeli skakati na kuje Sibirskog Husky-a! Moze li biti bolje preporuke za poslusati ovaj podcast? Pozdrav svim ljudima u kriznim godinama!

Kantautorica Christa iz Kanade. Pjeva pjesme putovanja i ljubavi. Zvuci pateticno, ali nije, nego je bas super! vise o njoj na http://www.garageband.com/artist/christacouture

Obrada pjesme dueta Denis & Denis. U cast uredjaju za kojeg tada nismo mislili da ce sluziti izradi podacsta :-)
