The Cranberries - Live in Athens 14/07/2010

I had not been in a concert in a while. I had tickets for the Cranberries since March or April, when they were issued. I was expecting this concert, as I had not seen the Cranberries live up to now. And I love this Irish band, and of course, I consider Dolores' voice to be one of the most beautiful I've heard.

The Cranberries performed in a little theatre in the centre of Athens, under a big rock, and that is why it is named Theatre of Rocks. It needs a bit more maintenance but as a small place for beautiful concerts it is a good place to go. The theatre was full, but we were comfortable.

The support group was a band named Rosebleed, who have a CD out, named White Balloons. It is a new but known greek band, with english lyrics. Their biggest hit has been a song named Until Next Time, and you can watch it online at their MTV UK site:  Rosebleed on MTV UK

I like Rosebleed quite a bit. They have good songs and they have inspiration; but they lack a presence on their live shows. Despite having good strong songs, they lacked movement on the stage. They did not even move from their place on the stage at all! Not even the singer!

But now, we cut to the chase and talk about the Cranberries themselves. they came out around 10:30, I think. They played for one and a half hours, although they could have played for another hour and time would have flown just like that. Just by listening to Dolores' voice. She was great. She moved all along the stage, singing and dancing and performing the Cranberries songs. From Animal Instinct which was the second song in their playlist to Just My Imagination and Salvation, the Cranberries performed a number of their best known songs.

But the best was still to come. And the best was the live performance of Zombie. For me that's their best song, and one that will remain carved in my memory for ever. It is a brilliant song, one of those that "irritate" in a good way, that you cannot forget. A song about war, and the hurt that it brings. The whole theatre was performing with Dolores. In your head, in your head they are dying... With their tanks and their bombs...

One of the best moments ever in a concert. An unforgettable moment, and I think that everyone who was in the concert yesterday night, will remember that moment.

So, the first part of the concert, closed with Zombie. But we wanted more. And they gave us more. Came back on the stage for the encore. A few more songs, and among them Promises, and again everyone singing together with Dolores. All the promises we made...

The final song of the evening was Dreams.

Cute Animal Christmas Song

From the BBC!

Zlad - Supersonik Elektronic

This is a really funny and wacky music video I have found.

And the lyrics to the song are:

Hey baby wake up from your a sleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become....

Elektronik, Supersonik,
Supersonik, Elektronik,

Hey baby ride with me away,
We doesn't have much time,
My blue jeans is tight,
So onto my love rocket, climb,
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love,
Above us, there is nothing above,
but the stars, above

All systems gone!
Prepare for downcount!

5....4....3....1! Off blast!


Fly away, my space rocket,
You no need put money in my pocket
The door is closed I just lock it,
(Ha) I put my (Ha) port plug in your socket (Ha Ha Ha)

The sonic sky is bright like fire
You and me gets higher and higher
Cut communication wire
Only thing can stop us is flat tire

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Hey love crusaider
I want to be your space invader
For you I will decend the deepest moon crater
I is more stronger than Darth Vapour
Obey me I is your new dictator
For you is Venus, I am Mars
With you I is more richer than all the tzars
Make a wishes on a shooting stars
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fasten your beltseats
We has commenced our decent
I trust you enjoy this flight
As much as you enjoy this accent

Now back on Earth its time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for cheer me from near and far
And as I float I open door and shout
"I am worlds biggest, washed-up superstar!"

(Supersonik, Elektronik)

As for sure as the sun rises in the west
Of all the seas and all the boats I am the bestest
come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
Then like a smell around you I will forever linger
Ok, is time for end, no more will I sang
Let me take you back in time,
I want for you to experience big bang

Long live space race
Long live, Molvania
