In late 1963, following JFK's assassination, the Brothers Four began looking at more serious material and were presented with some Bob Dylan demos. Among his songs the group chose to record was Mr. Tambourine Man. Bob Dylan has say over who first releases one of his songs and, since he didn't care for the Brothers Four's arrangement, it wasn't immediately issued. It appeared on their The Honey Wind Blows album following the Byrds' hit and Bob Dylan's own version. 04 Byrds “All I Really Want To Do” #40/1965 A-side of I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better. 04A Cher “All I Really Want To Do” #15/1965 Cher’s first solo hit single. 04B Bob Dylan “All I Really Want To Do” #43-Albums/ From Another Side Of Bob Dylan. 1964 05 Byrds “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” #103/1965 B-side of All I Really Want To Do.

Un concert entre fureur et grâce. Nés à la fin des années 70, en pleine déferlante punk, The Stranglers ne cessent de se réinventer d’album en album, passant par le rock, le post-punk, l’électronique, la new wave et la pop. Leur son se caractérise par la basse à la fois mélodique et agressive de JJ Burnel et par les rapides arpèges de Dave Greenfield, joués indifféremment sur orgue Hammond, synthétiseur, piano ou clavecin. Sur scène et en studio, The Stranglers, ou du moins leur première formation jusqu’en 1990, se sont également distingués par un humour provocateur et des frasques devenues légendaires. Groupe très populaire en Grande-Bretagne, ils sont parvenus à placer un nombre impressionnant de titres et d’albums dans le top 40 britannique. The Stranglers entrent aujourd’hui dans leur cinquième décennie d’existence et d’activités effrénées, ce qui en fait l’un des groupes mythiques de l’histoire du rock et surtout l’un des très rares issus du mouvement punk à n’avoir jamais cessé de se produire sur scène.

  • Once There Was Nothing, a Great Chaos of Nothing. Then There Was Order
    "Once there was nothing, a great chaos of nothing. Then there was order. Order came from the nothing and created the materium, the physical world, and in its quest for control, it created disparity, and from disparity came corruption, and the immaterium, the non-physical worlds beyond the event horizon. The two battled, and broke upon each other for an age, forging weapons of immense size and power across the voids of materium and imamaterium. Then there was the Third, and the Third was given the first choice, continue along the path of broken futility, or descend, and at the cost of oblivion become more. Then there was more, then there was life. The first life broke and shattered at the cost of the Third and the first death, but then came more, and life spread to all corners of existence, to even the depths of space, the children of the Third. Order fell first, and broke, leaving its scattered ashes across life, giving them the desire for more, faith in something greater and all the pain it causes. Corruption fell slower, and broke into shards, gods in between the cracks of oblivion, some intent upon seizing the forming existence, others content to await the day their time would come, as all that is, is doomed to break and die. This was the inception of our existence, of which our small universe is only a very small part of. Before this universe there was another, in which the bastards of corruption attempted to force entry into this reality at the heat death of the universe, to become consumers of the next one after, they built cults and bade them to work in the places they could not reach, and readied their entrance, what they did not suspect that the little monsters that had infested this existence had the gall to oppose them.
