"Ich weigere mich, es Hass zu nennen. Ich nenne es Verbitterung. Aber mit soviel Verbitterung einem Menschen gegenüber ist es unmöglich, die Wahrheit zu schreiben."

godspeed you black emperor!: Blaise Bailey Finnegan III
"Finnegan zitiert ein Gedicht, welches er angeblich selbst geschrieben habe, allerdings besteht es in Wahrheit aus dem Songtext zu "Virus", einem Song der Hard Rock-Band Iron Maiden, welcher von ihrem damaligen Sänger Blaze Bayley geschrieben wurde. GY!BE wussten davon offenbar nichts, als sie die EP veröffentlichten." (wikipedia)  "Diese morbide Beklemmung, die sich ebenso in Euphorie auflöst wie sich die dissonanten Melodien in die energetischen Crescendi betten, die nie die befreienden Abschluss, sondern allerhöchstens Brüche erfahren" (Kristoffer Cornils/www.titel-magazin.de) "we don't want to talk anymore" (voice 2/Beiblatt)
"All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it"                                               FLEKKEFJORD

Lena Horne & Gabor Szabo: In my Life
 "I'm too old to be singing,... You don't keep a voice all your life. When I had to start lowering keys, that was the cue telling me to get out... ever resentful "that the men in my life have all left me." (L.H./Jamesgavin.com)   "Horne’s ability to break our hearts with her shimmering resonant voice" (www.pbs.org/wnet) "How I long to let Lena know how much knowing her has meant in my life! I wonder how she is dealing with old age" (Isolde 'Izzy' Hunter)
"But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning"

Bohren & Der Club of Gore: Painless Steel
"dunkle Stücke...  warten darauf, dass ihre Töne nachts an den Fassaden der Hochhäuser widerhallen" (Oliver Tepel) "Every note the saxophone plays pierces my fucking soul" (duncang/www.lastfm.de) "This is? noir as fuck, love it." (Sagar Ramachandra on youtube)

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band: Shame on the Moon
"im gleichen, sattsam bekannten Muster" (Bernd Matheja) "Seger's romantic individualism is a little simpleminded" (www.robertchristgau.com)  "Von Leuten, die richtige Vorurteile haben, von denen lerne ich manches."  (Rodney Crowell, Songwriter)
"You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't"

Clarence Carter: Slip away
"so? sad and haunting , makes you feel what hes feeling" (arcana 106 on youtube)  "In “Slip Away” Carter is still the man on the side but the yearning in his voice makes the song authentic and relatable." (Javacia Harris Bowser/alabamaplaylist.com) "reminding us that you don't have to be down to sing the blues." (www.clarencecarter.net)
"What would I give
For just a few moments"

"I am floored and can't return,
this winter's white,
its silence burns."

Fairground Attraction: The Wind knows my Name
"nicht ganz so hoffnungslos traurig" (mb/Music Express) "Teilweise finde ich den Song langweilig, dann aber irgendwie auch wieder schön." (Uebi/www.austriancharts.at) "With that ‘voice of an angel’, Eddi you can sing whatever you like!" (Dave Craig)
"But a worse thing is a tired and bitter heart"

Coldplay: Warning Sign
"Dass die passionierte Melancholie von einst einer echten Schwermut gewichen ist, die neuen Songs eine Spur zackiger und bedrohlicher klingen, gehört mit zum Plan" (Gerrit Bartels)   "This is an emotional break up" (Frodo Baggings/amazon.com)  "Never heard chris talk so? relaxed, he always used to stutter" (KKOPPI on youtube)
"And the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so"

Radiohead: We suck young blood
"Es gibt Momente,  in denen der dunkle, bedrohliche Gesamtsound sich zum Popsong aufhellt." (Thomas Gross) "What makes it even more frustrating is that Radiohead display on several occasions just why they've been garlanded with so much critical praise over the years." (James oldham/NME)  "We want the sweet meats We want young blood" (ruby73/digital art)
"won't let the creeping ivy
won't let the nervous bury me"

The Go-Betweens: When she sang about Angels
"wovon Go-Betweens-Songs nun einmal handeln: desparaten Gefühlen"  (Thomas Gross) "attractive skeletons begging for a few extra studio layers, a few extra harmonies, a little more sound."  (Rob Brookman/www.dancingaboutarc.com) "wollte das Album nach anfänglichem Ärger schon verkaufen. Vielleicht deswegen so wertvoll."  (wowee zowee/forum.rollingstone.de
"Then she threw some names
Like she always did"
