The Blue Hearts “Owaranai Uta”

broderic on February 19, 2010

1st verse:
owaranai uta wo utao
kuso dare no sekai no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
subete no kuso tomo no tameni
owaranai uta wo utao
boku ya kimi ya karera no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
ashita ni wa waraeru you ni

tranlation:
lets sing an endless song
for all the shit in the world
lets sing an endless song
everything is for the shit and all the followers
lets sing an endless song
for me,you and them
lets sing an endless song
as if we “make fun” about tommorow “laughing”

Endless

You’ll hear it all week!

No idea who this is doing the cover, but I had to include it just for spits and jiggles. If you have more familiarity with j-rock or j-pop, let me know so I can torrent their albums…

The ending credits to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” had this run immediately after the end of the movie, but not before the crawl.

This song rocks. You’ll hear this all week….

An Endless Song

The ending to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” Exactly like “Lost My Music” from Live Alive. Another cover of The Blue Hearts. This one is “An Endless Song,” “Owaranai Uta.”

It’ll keep going and rocking in your head all week long…

They are so 80s. So high school. So that time of my life. It reminds me of fall going into winter and having to do winter soccer. Being punk rock. Or being an outsider. What is it that Holden Caulfield said about all the phonies at his school?

It came out of nowhere

They reissued The Screaming Blue Messiah first two albums, Gun Shy and Bikini Red. If you need ’em, get ’em. I already have ’em. I wish I can get their third, Totally Religious. My brother’s got it store somewhere in his home. I was over there and he was trying to pawn off some mp3z his friend downloaded off the net and gave to him. Nope. I want all original pressings. Just for completeness sake.

As they’re kissing their hellos

That DNA remix of Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner is about twenty years old. I heard it on the drive home Monday and was instantly transported back. That time of my life. So cherished. The winter of 1990. So fun. I can recall it like yesterday. The sights and sounds of The U, SRC, 4th floor with the guys. And that winter.

I am thinking of your voice…

The Russians Are Coming

I remember this old BBC show, “The Secret Life of Machines.” This was used as its theme song. Never new the name of the Dave Brubeck tune and that this was the reggae version.

Plenty cool to this version. Plenty cool.

Yes, it’s ska again. I love it.

If you can find some more ska, please post it in the comments or over on your blog.
