She Talks i Mod Strømmen

I pædagogisk tænkning arbejder man med anerkendelse som essentiel i forhold til identitetsskabelse, selvrealisering og socialt samspil. Jeg ved ikke om teorien, omfatter anerkendelse fra ånds- og fagfæller. Hvis den gør, så kan She Talks nok ikke få et bedre skudsmål end det Wonderland-medlemmerne samstemmigt gav bandet i sidste uges udsendelsen i Mod Strømmen. Det er nu ikke kun fra kollegaer, at gruppen modtager overordentlig positiv omtale. Flere singler har været i rotation på bl.a. DR, ligesom der har været anerkendende nik fra internationale medier.

She Talks albumdebuterede i 2011 og udsendte i begyndelsen af oktober deres anden plade med titlen ’Heroine’. Det musikalske fundamentet er stadig pop- og rockmusik som den blev spillet i 1960’erne og 1970’erne. Der har imidlertid sneget sig flere elektroniske remedier ind, hvilket har givet ’Heroine’ et mere søgende anstrøg. Uden det dog interfererer med gruppens grundtanke om, at det er sangskrivningen, lyrikken og vokalen, som skal holde det hele oppe.

På orkestrets egen side er der en morsom liste med tyve sangskrivere/forbilleder. Måske den kan give et hint om, hvilken retning programmet tager på torsdag, d. 14. november? Stil ind på 98.9 FM eller stream os, mellem kl. 18-20.

“1. Hank Williams – because he smiles through tears when he is very lovesick

2. Woody Guthrie – because he has recorded “Do Re Mi” and “Oregon Trail”

3. Bob Dylan – because he’s much older now than when (and before) he was younger than that now

4. Tom Verlaine – because he sings and plays and writes in a grandiose manner 

5. Gram Parsons – because he can be quite soft in no time if it looks like he’s a bit of an asshole  

6. Lennon/McCartney – because they were lucky enough to find Ringo Starr and George Harrison

7. David Bowie – because he sings like a lout on Honky Dory

8. Jagger/Richards – because they made a great band with a little help from an awkward drummer  

9. Ladytron – because they usher in a new epoch devoid of feelings

10. Kim Larsen – because he almost made it in America

11. Pet Shop Boys – because they are much better than most people think they are

16. Robert Johnson – because he has recorded “Hellhound on My Trail”

17. Eric Clapton – because he suddenly became cool when he went on rehab

18. Joni Mitchell – because she’s a little bit greater than Neil Young and almost as ugly

19. Sune Wagner – because he was psyched up and mediocre in the beginning but keeps on getting better

20. Michael Jackson – because he deserves to be mentioned even if it means the disregarding of Ramones”
