The Cat Came Back. Группа поклонников песни The Cat Came Back:
Old Mr. Johnson had trouble all his own
He had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home
He tried in every way to keep that cat away
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay
But the cat came back the very next day
The cat came back, they thought he was a goner
But the cat came back, he just wouldn't stay away
On a telegraph wire the birds were sitting in a bunch
He saw an even number,said he'd have 'em for his lunch
Climbed softly up the pole until he reached the top
Put his foot upon the 'lectric wire, tied him in a knot
This cat had company out in the backyard
Somebody threw a boot and threw it awful hard
Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight
And down came a brick and knocked him out of sight
They threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep
And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap
That kennel burst apart and the dog flew out the side
With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide
They sneaked him in a shop with the butcher not around
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground
The cat despaired with a blood-curdling shriek
And that shops hamburger tasted furry for a week
They put him in a cotton sack and gave him to a girl
Who'd started on a bicycle all around the world
Well, over there in China a terrible wreak was found
She's singing now in heaven with the angels all around
Now this cat was a terror and they thought it would be best
To give him to a feller who was going way out west
Train ran round a curve and hit a broken rail
Not a blessed soul aboard that train lived to tell the tale
The cat was a possessor of a family all its own
With seven little kittens till there was a cyclone
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around
The air was full of kittens and not a one was found
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last
Vessel only out a day and taking water fast
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost
They gave the cat to a man in a balloon
And told him to give him to the man in the moon
But the balloon it busted and everybody said
Ten miles away they picked the man up dead
At last they found a way this cat to really fix
They put him in an orange crate on highway 66
Come a ten ton truck with a twenty ton load
Scattered pieces of that orange crate a mile down the road
They put him on a boat bound for Sidneytown
They thought with all that rain there he'd surely drowned
When the rain came down for the 92nd day
That whole darn city just a floated out the bay
The farmer on the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight
Loaded up his shotgun full of nails and dynamite
And he hid in the garden till the cat came round
But 97 pieces of that man were all they found
They put him on the White House lawn, I'll tell the reason why
With all the golfballs flying, they thought he'd surely die
Well the very next morning, what do you think they found
64 squirrels lying dead upon the ground
Gave him to a little boy with a dollar note
Who was going out to sea in an open boat
They tied a rock around his neck, it must have weighed a pound
Now they're dragging up the river, cause the little boy was drowned
They took him down to Cape Canaveral and they put him into place
And they shot him in a satellite way up into space
They thought that the cat was beyond human reach
And then they got a phone call from Miami Beach
H bomb fell just the other day,
A bomb fell in the very same way
Russia went, England went, then the USA
The whole human race gone without a chance to pray.

The Cat Came Back

Jerry Yan. He is dubbed as Asia's next BIG thing following the footsteps of HK's Heavenly Kings as Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Jackie Cheung and Aaron Kwok.
However, 28 year old, Jerry Yan (Yan Cheng Xu), star of Taiwan's Meteor Garden Series, didn’t see his own brilliance shine until 2001. Before he starred with three, equally glorious men in the aforementioned series and altogether, becoming known as F4, Jerry Yan, has worked his way up the entertainment business as a model doing ramp shows and starring in other artists' MVs. In 2000, he topped in Men UNO's Modeling Competition (Taiwan). After then, he did a cameo role in the series Girls' Marching On and also acted in some episodes of Ma La Xian Shi.
When Meteor Garden I was released in 2001, F4 (Flower Four, which means men are beautiful than flowers) is formed and was introduced to the media in April of that year. It has been said that Meteor Garden has brought F4 a shot into ultimate stardom, and ever since then, they were regularly seen appearing in different TV shows, handling several interviews and even endorsing and advertising lots of products on TV and in prints. F4 has been a household name in other countries as China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and even in non-Chinese speaking countries as Thailand, Japan and the Philippines; their popularity even reached as far as the US, Canada and Australia. F4 has worked on the same projects, releasing two albums: Meteor Rain (2001) and Fantasy 4Ever (2002) until early 2003. They were also engaged in several concerts all over East Asia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia; however, while busy either shooting for the TV series or recording for the album, each of F4 has managed to do individual projects on the sides. Jerry Yan's acting prowess, alone, was put into test when he was given a major role together with two of HK's top actors, Jackie Cheung and Karen Mok, in the series Love Scar. F4 also did the series Meteor Rain and Meteor Garden 2 in 2002.
Even though they have started working as a group, each F4 has earned their own individual followers; thus, working alone, their popularity seemed unwavering. Jerry, himself, has earned lots of credits under his name. He has been signed up to endorse different products within Taiwan and overseas (Japan's Tobaby Shampoo – 2001, China’s S&K Clothing (w. F4) – since 2002, and Philippines' Bench Clothing – since 2003). In April 2002, he released his own photo book entitled Amphibian, which sales have reached a record high of 2 Million copies worldwide. This book has three versions - Mandarin, Thai, and Japan has just recently released its own version.
In January 2004, he filmed The Magic Kitchen, starring HK’s superstars Sammi Cheng, Andy Lau and Maggie Q, among others. This movie was released in Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, dubbed in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Apart from doing the movie, which started shooting in September 2003, Jerry was also busy completing his solo album, which according to his fans has been long overdue, as he was expected to have released his own album ahead of his colleagues in 2001. It may have taken him three years to finally release his album (August2004), Jerry For You, but all his hard work has been paid off as he remained on top of the charts despite being pitted against friend, Jay Chou, who also released his album at around the same time. Jerry For You has three different versions – all of which received excellent sales feedback, still, both in Taiwan and abroad.
Jerry has gone from one city to another and flown from country to country, within East Asia, and including the Philippines, busily promoting his album. He even had his own solo mini-concert in Taipei in October 2001.

Биография группы на английском
It was a balmy April day, the kind of day that feels like the damp air of a band rehearsal room. Pushmonkey needed to take a break from writing for their fourth full length release, so in true Pushmonkey fashion, the guys loaded up in their trusty red Ford F-250 van and headed to Suzi’s Chinese Kitchen.
“I remember eating at Suzi’s that day and talking about possible titles for the new CD,” drummer Darwin Keys explains. “I remember throwing out Misfortune Cookie as a possible title and getting a laugh from the waiter. As he was carrying our food to the table, he says in broken English, “maybe the year of the monkey will bring good luck to you.” And then he spills an entire plate of mu-shu pork on Will’s lap. I mean if that is not a sign from God, I don’t know what is. How money is hot pork in spicy, tangy brown sauce on Will’s lap with a side of ancient Chinese wisdom? We all felt it in our laps, err, our hearts that this truly would be the YEAR OF THE MONKEY. The CD title debate ended right then and there.”
Not all decisions in the band are made by tragic restaurant mishaps. CD titles aside, the biggest problem the band needed to resolve was who would produce the new CD and help stretch the band’s artistic limits? “I ran into Paul Leary one day and gave him a CD of some demo’s that we had recorded. I didn’t think I would hear back from him, and then he called. It’s not everyday that a band gets to work with a producer like Paul Leary,” says bassist Pat Fogarty.
For those not in the know, Paul Leary is the outer space guitar player in the legendary band Butthole Surfers and multi-platinum producer of bands including Sublime and U2. Howie goes on to say, “Paul is the perfect producer for us. When you have five strong-minded people in a band like ours, it is important to have a producer that we all trust and respect. Paul fit that role perfectly. This was the most fun I’ve ever had recording. We‘ve had some hard times these last few years. It was good to have fun again.”
With the 2001 release of El Bitche, Pushmonkey was poised to take advantage of the momentum produced by two years of hard touring with the likes of Godsmack, Kid Rock, Fuel and the Ozzfest. “Then 9-11 happened,” singer Tony Park laments. “A few days after our CD came out, the tragedy happened. That event put a lot of things into perspective for us and I’m sure for everyone else in the States. We all struggled in our own ways. Writing for this new CD has been therapeutic to say the least.”
Fast-forward three years and Pushmonkey is about to do what they do best, releasing a new CD and playing to their loyal fans. The Year of the Monkey is their most adventurous and emotionally charged release to date. Guitarist Will Hoffman sums it up, “We’ve been a band for a long time and we can be our own worst critics. Recording this CD got us in touch again with one another and I think it comes through in the songs. We couldn’t be happier, like a family with a new baby that has all his toes.”
On celebrating the CD release, Will explains, “It is tradition that we go out to a nice restaurant the day the CD comes out. We’ve decided on steak. It’s easier to scrape off my lap than Chinese food.”

на вкус
Something is great about this one. The phrase buzzed around in my head, mixing with the endorphins that cracked and snapped about their different relays, telling me that I liked this music. This music is good. The beer in your hand is good.* You are loving this, aren't you? Aren't you?
Singer/Song Writer, Citizen Cope recently headlined in Towson's Recher Theatre, a large dimly lit room washed in blood red drapes. Two bars, bouncers at the door who think they're funny, an entrance covered in music posters: enough ambiance to make you dream of owning rooms filled with nothing but silk pillows and feathery boas. Brilliance -- all of it.
His music is simple to the point of being stripped down, as if bearing it all was the only way to get our attention. The Spartan band behind him was made up of a drummer, a bassist, two keyboardists, and Cope on guitar. A mix of hip-hop, folk, and blues his songs are mostly beats - mix bass drum, high hat, snare, clap track and repeat - buffed smooth by a haggard, road-weary voice. Uncommon chords for texture and keyboards for lift.
I was there in the middle of a crowd that hung on Mr. Cope's every word. You have probably been in a situation like this one before. If you have seen a favorite artist live, you know the procedure. Stand elbow to elbow with lovers in varied states of decay - high school to golden years - and you reach clumsily into your bag of lyrics, struggling to throw them out in time with everybody else. Nevertheless, you dance, sway back and forth and put your chin to your chest to feel that beat and buzz in your rib cage. Somebody screams, You're melting my face! Artist finishes up a song and you try to guess what's coming next. You are loving this, aren't you?
But even as I enjoyed myself like everyone else, the experience unsettled me. Cope is an intensely powerful lyricist. Without useless contemplation or pretension, you sense a plain type of grief laced in his words. A grief at once deeply personal, but one that managed to untether me from the scene, causing me to think about what I was listening to. His song topics range from a laundry list of tragedy in Let the Drummer Kick That to exploration of danger of American jingoism in Bullet and a Target. One of my favorites, his song Penitentiary taps into fears for a culture growing more trapped by fear and war: Well I'm waiting on a time when people walk free to see/From the penitentiary in our mind/When there's no need to bleed/For your father/Or your son.
One Rolling Stone critic called him a modern day bluesman who paints a plaintive portrait of the human condition. Another, not-so-friendly critic from music and culture website, SoundtheSirens said: I'm sure there's some soulful guy with a guitar who can write better songs sitting in some coffee shop somewhere who deserves the exposure more than he does. This may be warranted, I just happen to disagree.
As a balding-twenty-something tapped his toe to the beat of Sideways against my heal, I was reminded of a perplexing moment a few months prior. I had created a Citizen Cope station on an Internet radio website called Pandora. If you have not used Pandora before, its program takes an artist that you give it and plays the music of similar artists based on style and genre.Normally, Pandora is right on, accurate as anyone could hope for. But the artists that Pandora surrounded Cope with -- Damien Rice, Jack Johnson, Ryan Adams, Howie Day, Beck -- sound nothing like him, perhaps Beck being the closest. I won't say that no one sounds like Citizen Cope -- that cannot be justified. However, one has serious trouble placing him in any sort of context. This frustrates me, because I need musical landmarks,

SHAHMEN. SHAHMEN
B L S, MC, Los Angeles.
SENSE, Producer, Amsterdam.
Unorthadox, MC, Rotterdam.
This Summer SHAHMEN presents their debut EP: Enter the Circle. SHAHMEN is what hip-hop is supposed to sound like in the year 2010. The SHAHMEN sound is a dance between moments of pure tonal bliss and dark, hard, banging beats.
Imagine, SENSE as the mystical, more musically composed student of Muggs and RZA, who learned a secret his teachers did not. Building from their foundation, he reaches new plateaus in the dimensionality of sample composition. Finding his own, unique formula for interweaving haunting melodies between head banging drums, the music pulls you into a trance like state where the rock solid voice of B L S finds the perfect soundscape to sink in.
Straight up, B L S has the realest voice in rap in a very long time; ranging from a thundering bass which most rappers can only mimic with a pitch-shift, to a hazy drawl reminiscent of a cowboy in an old western. The unique vocal tone is matched in the lyrics, and B L S stands apart in the original narratives he weaves, leaving far behind the overused and tired archetypes of street stories, and pop-culture punch lines.
Simply put, SHAHMEN the illest seven letter word since OutKast or Nirvana.
“Been around the world, already touched six continents, the same pair of Vans slip-ons walked all of ‘em,
I found Sense floating on a boat in holla land, and ever since then we been building and acknowledging…
The world is truly strange, and it only gets stranger, The scenery is beautiful but I also sense danger…” -The Stranger, SHAHMEN
The Story:
While travelling through the city of Amsterdam in the winter of 2006, B L S fatefully met SENSE. Like two old friends who had yet to meet, they recorded a song in an afternoon at SENSE’s houseboat studio, went out for the night in the city, slapped hands and parted ways.
B L S went back to New York, where he was studying Psychology and Film and SENSE went back to work on TheQ4’s Sound Surroundings record and his various other projects. Back in NYC, B L S was playing The Q4’s demo and SENSE beats all night, every night in his Manhattan apartment, writing, freestyling, and plotting out his return to Amsterdam.
The summer of 2007, B L S returned to the city of Amsterdam with one mission, make an album with SENSE. SENSE just did not know it yet. The two began working on their second song together, one sunny day in June. B L S casually mentioned to SENSE producing an entire project together, but SENSE was reluctant, saying he was already involved with too many projects to make any promises.
As fate would have it that afternoon when B L S left the studio, he left behind his rhyme book. That night SENSE opened up the book and began reading the rhymes B L S had been writing that last year. SENSE had found the words to match his sound, and called B L S back that very night to record and SHAHMEN was born.
In their first month together in the studio, the two recorded more than 50 songs. And over the course of the next 3 years, B L S and SENSE continued writing and recording in Amsterdam. While also travelling through West Africa and South America, to write and record their debut LP. During this time, the legendary lone wolf Unorthadox (Rotterdam) joined the SHAHMEN pack, and B L S and DOX began writing new records, while DOX wrote additional parts to existing SHAHMEN songs.
After living in the studio for the better part of the last 3 years, SHAHMEN is here to see the light of day. Enter the Circle , a digital EP will drop early this spring, Download it for free at ProjectMooncircle.com. The full length vinyl LP will follow in September.
SHAHMEN. The Next Chapter, is here.
