let's end this year with this cover song! i just found it yesterday from 10" compilation. i have had this record for a while, but now just realized about this cover. it's most disturbing cover in russian at the moment. maybe tomorrow i'll already like it. singer is Muslim Magomaev, soviet superstar. enjoy! happy new year!
yes, Muslim Magomaev, soviet male singer, is covering in Russian winning song from Eurovision 1965 - "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", written by Serge Gainsbourg and originally performed by lovely French singer France Gall. it's great song originally, now i don't hate this cover, but it's pretty odd.
see on üks plaat, mille ma leidsin eelmine aasta rock roadist, ühest üksildasest kastist. ma iga kord võtsin sealt ühe huvitavamalt näiva seitsmetollise kaasa. ma kujutan ette, et määravaks said selle plaadi puhul tõesti selle sama loo nimi ja bänd. Eolika on tuttavam nende 80ndate loomingu poolest, "Dreams of Riga" LP'l on väga head diskot, isegi sellist, mida tänapäeval võib cosmic disco'ks nimetada. aga Eolika on juba vana bänd, tegutsenud 60ndate lõpust, alustanud tõenäoliselt kohaliku biidi lainel, kuid teinud vajalikul määral poppi. youtubest palun otsige nende vanu videosid. minikleidi teema tundus huvitav ka sellepoolest, et meil on ju olemas armastatud miniseeliku lugu. Vello Orumets laulmas. ma ei ole moeajaloolane ja ei tea, millal miniseelikud suurele isamaale jõudsid, kuid ajad olid vabamad ja neiud võisid... eee... näidata natuke rohkem. aga meil jäi asi ikkagi siivsa miniseeliku või minikleidi tasemele. äsja saksa sõprusblogis Berlin Beatet Bestes ilmus mitu lugu minikini'de teemadel. samal ajal meie laulikutega ka läänes lauldi väheldastest riietest, kuid seal oli juba jõutud bikinideni. kohati isegi nende puudumiseni. meie küll nii julgeks ei läinud. mõtlemisainet kui palju. lingid ja videod allpool.
our friend blog Berlin Beatet Bestes posted few weeks back tracks with same theme - minikinis. praising bikinis or even nudeness was kind of understandable in 60s in Western Europe. those tracks made connection in my head with two tracks from nearer shores, from Baltic States. very popular track in Estonia was "Miniseelik" (Miniskirt). singing about girls with new crazy fashion. and here i have also 7" from Latvia by Eolika, from same time with song "Minikleitina", it should translate as minidress. as you can see that bikinis in soviet union in 60s were still too much, but we were given little relief with shorter skirts/dresses. edit: Eolika is more known from their 80s albums, "Dreams of Riga" has some tasteful disco, you could call even cosmic disco today. turns out they had started in 1969 already. that track is taken from one of their earlier singles, it's best track on it. i have also another early 7" from 1970, it's a good one, but i have too noisy copy, one great beat pop, one cool psych pop and another nice mellow folkpop track.

suuremast postitustihedusest on aimata, et püüan tagasi maksta võlga, väga propagandistlikult mõjub see muidugi enne järjekordset raadiosaadet. aga paari viimase kuu sisse on mahtunud paar ulatuslikumat plaadiotsingu reisi. ühes teatud kohas said mitu tundi külmetatud ja plaate läbi vaadatud. valiku eripäraks olid läti vinüülid. mõned olulisem raimonds paulsi LPd olid küll puudu (nt. need, mis siin blogiski kajastatud), kuid päris huvitav valik seitsmetolliseid oli. samas tuli jälle liigselt intuitsioonile toetuda, milliseid valida ja milliseid võta topelt. selle seitsmetollise puhul pikalt mõtlemist ei olnud: filmi soundtrack, pauls ja 1974. midagi peab siin ometi olema. oli. kuulake ülevalt kaht esimest lugu. film on ise 1973. aastast, tõlkub umbes kui "Kingitus üksikule naisele". mina ei ole seda näinud ja klippe ka pole, kuskil on märgitud, et naljakas film. muusika on aga päris maitsekas. mul oli see singel kõrvale pandud järgmise meloodia spetsiaali jaoks, kuid tundus, et lood ei ole jällegi tervikuna väga head. kodus on küll hea kuulata, aga raadiokuulaja muutub äkki närviliseks, kui ta peab minuti ootama lahedat elektrioreli breakdowni. või siis teine lugu algab coolilt, lahe vanakooli fuzz kidra saund seal, aga jälle kogu loo ulatuses annab asi soovida.
you have found out yourself that frequency of my posts has raised thanks to forthcoming guest spot in radioshow. during last months i have made some good digging trips, found some interesting records. one particular spot had quite a lot of latvian records. though i didn't find many good LPs, but there was plenty of singles i didn't know before. this one was safe bet - cool cover, soundtrack, cars, raimonds pauls and year 1974 - it must be good one. well, it is. listen to first two tracks from ep. film should translate at "Gift for Single Lady". i haven't seen it, but i have read it's comedy. i had those tracks put away for my radio show, but i found they are not very radio friendly. first track is pretty groovy with cool organ breakdown, but vocals can be little disappointing. second track has great intro with fuzz guitar, but whole track isn't as cool. still nice find for me.
tuleval teisipäeval, 8.detsembril jälle meloodia plaatide spetsiaal raadio kahes, saates muusikat nõudlikule maitsele. seekord lasen vaikol ka plaate peale panna. tundub, et endal tuleb nii vana hea beat groove kui ka disko ära mängimisele.
on Tuesday, 8th December i am going to play again Melodiya records in Vaiko Eplik's radioshow Muusikat nõudlikule maitsele. we are going to choose tracks from beat, groove to disco, made in Latvia, Yakutia, Bashkir, Russia etc. starts at 2100 by estonian time (gmt+3).
Kvartet Kamerton - Karnaval Ленинградсцкие инструментальные ансамбли 33 CM 03843-44
leidsin jõhvi taaskasutuskeskuse kesisest plaadihunnikust selle leningradi instrumentaalansamblite kogumiku. väike pilk tracklisti tabas ära, et tegu on pigem jazzmuusika kogumikuga. kahjuks muidugi mitu diksilendi asja, aga ka gurusid - Goloshekin, Ignatjev nt. ongi mitu vanakooli svingi, mis mind ei huvita, mõned normaalsed jazznumbrid, ja siis paar sellist kerglasemat lugu elektrioreliga. ansambel Kamerton näiteks meeldib mulle siit. see lugu on kuidagi eriti lahe. kerge ja juustune, aga mõnus eletriorel ja kitarr, trummar üldiselt svingib, aga lõpuks antakse talle ka soolo. see soolo kestab päris pikalt ja on väga rütmikas. olematu beatdigger minus ootab kuni tuleb breik ka ära. kogu aeg on tunne, aga ei tulegi!
by name it's compilation of instrumental groups from Leningrad (St Petersburg), actually it's jazz music LP. many tracks of old dixieland/swing, but also some easy jazz. love those tracks with old time electric organ. my fave tracks are by group Kamerton. I love this track. funny and cheerful emotion is marked in title "Carnival" - moody organ and guitar, swinging drums on background, til drummer is given pass for solo, which is pretty tight, that one beatdigger is waiting eagerly for breaks, which in the end resist to come actually.
Tarmo Pihlap ja ansambel Fix - Aeg sõuab, aeg jõuab
sõber henrik esse, ansambli bad apples liider rõõmustab meid muidugi uue suurepärase albumiga. minu arust aasta kõige parem eesti plaat. eesti ekspressis "Päev muusikas" rubriigis sai ta ka arvamust avaldada. ootamatult oodatult olid kõik head lood pärit eesti estraadiklassikast. artikkel asub ise siin. küsimuse all, mis lugu kellelegi teisele ei meeldi, pakkus ta välja Tarmo Pihlapi loo "Aeg sõuab, aeg jõuab", Arne Oidi nimelise lauluvõistluse 1979 kontsertvinüülilt. Tarmo Pihlap ei meeldi tõesti kellelegi, aga tegelikult on see lugu ka kergelt vähetuntud. küsimata tulen kõigile vastu ja laen selle loo üles, et te saaks ehk Henrikule vastu vaielda ja öelda, et mulle meeldib ka. kui te just ei viitsi minna lähimasse kaltsukasse ja see vinüül ära osta. mulle meeldib ka plaadikujundus. soovitan ka plaadi esimest lugu - estraadiproge oopus leedust, autoriks tuntud freejazzi maestro V. Ganelin.
at first i'd recommend you new album by Bad Apples, released by estonian indielabel Seksound. of course, they are my friends, so you must read more. leader Henrik is also vinyl enthusiast, loves especially estonian pop/estrada albums. he also charted some of his favorites in estonian weekly newspaper. so i uploaded one track from it. he describes it as song that anyone else doesn't like, except him. now you can say, if he really is by himself with that track. singer of that track doesn't have very good reputation among estonian smart music lovers for his many hideous moments of career. this track is taken from compilation album for most prolific estonian song competion.
