    LUNEDì 28 APRILE 2014 A soli nove mesi di distanza dall'acclamato Rewind The Film (top 5 nel Regno Unito), undicesimo album da studio della band, i Manic Street Preachers tornano con un nuovo disco, intitolato Futurology, in uscita l'8 Manic Street Preachers luglio 2014. Futurology, il nuovo album, in uscita l'8 luglio. Registrati ai leggendari Hansa Studios di Berlino e al Faster, lo studio dei In concerto in Italia il 2 giugno 2014 al RocK In Manics a Cardiff, i tredici brani che compongono l'album vedono la band Idro di Bologna gallese in forma smagliante, addirittura esplosiva. Uno stacco netto rispetto al disco precedente, ma sempre all'insegna di uno stile inconfondibile. LA REDAZIONE Il primo singolo estratto è "Walk Me To The Bridge", dalle chiare influenze europee. In una recente conversazione con John Doran di Quietus, Nicky Wire ha parlato del testo del brano, che ha cominciato a prendere forma qualche anno fa. "Qualcuno penserà che la canzone contenga tanti riferimenti a Richey Edwards, ma in realtà parla del ponte di Øresund che collega la Svezia alla Danimarca. Tanto tempo fa, quando [email protected] attraversavamo quel ponte, stavo perdendo entusiasmo per le cose e SPETTACOLINEWS.IT pensavo di lasciare la band (il "fatal friend"). 'Walk Me To The Bridge' parla dei ponti che ti consentono di vivere un'esperienza extracorporea quando lasci un luogo per raggiungerne un altro". Secondo James Dean Bradfield, il brano è "una canzone ideale per i viaggi in auto, dal sapore squisitamente europeo e carica di tensione emotiva, con sintetizzatori in stile primi Simple Minds e un assolo di chitarra Ebow alla 'Heroes'".

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).
