The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument, with 12 strings, although more recently variants have been constructed with 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument
Probably you have seen already the new commercial for the new Blackberry mobile . For me , the soundtrack behind attracted my curiousity.
A band from Australia – Tame Impala – is responsible for this song – awesome rock sound , Tame Impala is a group from Australia whose musical style is similar to the psychedelic rock of the late 1960s. The five members Kevin Parker, Dominic Simper, Jay Watson, Nick Allbrook and Julien Barbagallo already making music together since their school days, but played with while in other bands. To her early days in 2007, they presented their songs on MySpace and waited more or less to be discovered. They were finally taken from the indie label Modular under contract and played as the opening act for MGMT and the Black Keys and others.
I like this A Cappella stuff , always liked it ,also the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings story , since my youth , when i read these books. It´s natural that if someone mix these things , the outcome has a good chance to win my attention. This video , at first i smiled a little bit about the props – the costumes and the axes ( the axe seems to be made of plastic and the red costume seem to be the one of last christmas santa clause) but as longer i watched it , i felt more satisfied about the sound and the voices – pure “Hobbit” heaven ^^
Edit ……………….
another A Capella Version
here the costumes are quite better a metal version ( i liked seeing the dwarves jumping around )
Neil Finn
with lyrics and Trailer
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mightly spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sward.
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeouns deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.
The pines were roaring on the height,
(The pines were roaring on the height)
The winds were moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
(The fire was red, it flaming spread)
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale
(The bells were ringing in the dale)
And men looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
(The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire)
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
(The mountain smoked beneath the moon)
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall to dying fall
(They fled their hall to dying fall)
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!
The pines were roaring on the height,
(The pines were roaring on the height)
The winds were moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
(The fire was red, it flaming spread)
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale
(The bells were ringing in the dale)
And men looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
(The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire)
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
Last Caress , a song of the Hororpunkgroup “Misfits ” from their 1980 EP.

I got something to say
I killed your baby today and it
Doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
I got something to say
I raped your mother today and it
Doesn’t matter much to me
As long as she spread
Ooh lovely death, just waiting for your breath
Cold sweet death, one last caress
Ooh lovely death, just waiting for your breath
Cold sweet death, one last caress
I got something to say
I killed your baby today and it
Doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
Ooh lovely death, just waiting for your breath
Cold sweet death, one last caress

On 8 September 1965 appeared in the celebrity magazine Variety and other periodicals an advertisment where they searched “four insane boys between 17 and 21 years” for a TV show. Of the 437 applicants they choose Micky Dolenz (drums, vocals), Peter Tork (bass, vocals), Michael Nesmith (guitar, vocals) and David Jones (guitar, vocals) .( Michael Nesmith , 1942, Davy Jones , 1945 had yesterday birthday , Davy Jones died this year 2012 February 29th) Of course you can say they have been one of the first boy bands Therefore i had a look upon their songs and found this one called “Zilch” ( must be one of their song of their psychedelic aera , one of this songs consisting of spoken words )
In the song they speak about a person Mister Bob Dobalina , but who´s that, this Mr. Bob Dobalina ?
On my search i remembered that one other musician had a hit in germany with this name in a song ,Del Tha Funkee Homosapien an US rapper published this song in 1992 on his debut album , which has been produced by ICE- CUBE ( his cousin) This should remain his only hit , three other LP´s which he released afterwards had no success . At least he (Teren Delvon Jones) appeared again in 2002 as the co -componist for the song “Clint Eastwood ” from the Gorillaz.
They say this song (Mistadobalina ) has been influenced by the song “Mind Power ” from James Brown ( 1974 ) but i cannot hear a relation to it- do you ??
Others say it has been sampled from the song “Stoned by the bone ” also by James Brown , hmmmm………
In fact this Mr Bob Dobalina must have been a person out of an announcement in an airport ”Final boarding call for Mr. Dobalina, Mr. Bob Dobalina” the Monkees heard it and they have been inspired ( because it sounds so good) to the tracks opening line .
In the late 60´s a lot of bands have been inspired from the psychedelic wave and released great albums , the Beatles with “Seargant Pepper ” and the Rolling Stones with “Their Satanic Majesties request” , and the Monkees with “Daily Nightly “. ”Daily Nightly” is a song by Michael Nesmith , which appeared on their fourth album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., in 1967

Aber zurück zum Thema , was habt ihr vor am kommenden Freitag, habt ihr eine Liste von Dingen die ihr machen wollt , einen Plan für den letzten Tag ??
Narrow-minded creeds,
Denying, not embracing.
Civilisation brought to its knees.
We’ll be together ’til the bitter end
And I wasn’t joking and I don’t pretend.
Raise a glass to oblivion,
Happy end of the world to you.
Apocalypse, confirmation
Of age-old segregation.
Controlling our own destiny,
Finding Strength in adversity.
We’ll be together ’til the bitter end
And I wasn’t joking and I don’t pretend.
Raise a glass to oblivion,
Happy end of the world to you.
Kill, murder, maim,
Justified, it’s in ‘His’ name.
An agenda motivated by blind faith.
Two millennia to learn,
Atheist beliefs confirmed.
Why the need to win the craziest race?
Devastation all around,
Nothing moves, there is no sound.
Rejoice! We’re now rid of all these fools.
Greet the end, let’s celebrate,
This life ours to create.
Happy end of the world to you.
My only consolation,
Contempt for exultation.
Introducing the impossible
Into the realms of the plausible.
We’ll be together to ’til the bitter end
And I wasn’t joking and I don’t pretend.
Raise a glass to oblivion,
Happy end of the world to you.
Stanislav had the right idea,
Disobey the order and ignore the fear.
So much owed to so few.
Happy end of the world to you.
I can’t believe we’ve made it to the end
And I’m glad I spent it with you my friend.
Let’s get our kicks before it all goes up in flames.
Take a good look around cos it’s all gonna change.
We’ll be together ’til the bitter end,
I wasn’t joking and I don’t pretend.
I look at you, that’s all it takes,
Restore my faith in the human race.
Raise a glass to oblivion,
Happy end of the world to you.
Continue to justify, read the book, it never lies.
21st Century don’t need this philosophy.
With you standing by my side, confident that we’d survive.
Control our own destiny, strength in adversity.
Happy end of the world to you.
