"cocoa krispies & lucky charms"
If you can dig it...this collection of tunes is some loose ends of recordings i've made
throughout '07. If you're familiar with my 1st release on 'jamendo' "Fuck The War" ,
you know, as the title entails, is a collection of songs that reflect my views on the current
"War on terrorism" that George Bush and his 'Bushies' are inflicting on the country of Iraq.
Well the tunes on "lucky charms" are of a much lighter subject matter. These songs are
not on any current release as of yet. So it's a pleasure to put them out on 'Jamendo' where
listeners can hear them and download if they like...for free.
I haven't forsaken writing songs about social and current issues. I can't. Right now, in the
summer of '07 the situation has worsened and will continue to worsen. Another attack of
terrorism is bound to happen in the United States, or so says the head of homeland security,
who claims he has a gut feeling...though no intell to back up such an irresponsible statement.
Be that as it may...it's a good thing to forget about the troubles that plague this world and
write and perform music that I love. Even if it's only for a little while!!!
thank u....

Der Albumtitel und das Cover in Verbindung mit den Songtiteln ist Sarkasmus,
wie ich ihn liebe ;-)
Cocoa krispies & lucky charms heißt dieses Album
und der erste Titel lechzt sofort nach Morphium,
während der letzte Track Gottes Tod verkündet
...so abgründig..so gut!
punkig-pockig-glamour(ig)-70ths
geile dreckige Stimme - kraftvoll - sehnend/hechelnd
klasse Akustikmucke mit sehr geringem E-Anteil
Here the good rock'n'roll blues of Seattle. The voice is sensitive, tortured and generous. The texts are descriptive of a section of American life.
Mr Buckley offers to us good titles on pearls.
Much melancholy invades us then progressivment.
An album not to be missed.
Thank you a lot!

Si vous cherchez un album de talent, arrêtez vous cinq minutes sur celui-ci.
Ces quelques musiques, à la douceur charmante et au charme doux, m'ont émus.
Des mélodies très belles, et vraiment originales. La voix, elle aussi tire son épingle du jeu, par sa beauté, sa justesse et son interprétation.
La richesse sonore est impressionnante et chauqe musique est différente des autres, chacune a ses particularité.
C'est un alubm très doux, très beau et que j'ai beaucoup apprécié !
After his rather self-explanatory album "Fuck the War" (which included a little jewel entitled "Butterflies"), Ralph Buckley makes a spectacular comeback with an album that bears a deceptively colourful cartoon figure on the cover, and the equally deceptive title "cocoa krispies & lucky charms".
What awaits the listener is a journey into the desperate world of addictions and obsessions, accompanied by sometimes almost joyful melodies, whose discrepancy with the themes of the songs made me think of Paul Roland. Morphine, alcohol, love gone bad, utopian dreaming and for dessert, some kind of ironic existential dilemma: which weighs more - the death of a bee or of God himself?
The tragic aspect of our existence, the absurdity and inhuman materialism of the world we live in are illustrated in this half-hour album with poignant tenderness and sincerity. The sweetness of the melodies makes this poignancy even more painful; but this is why art is here - to denounce and exorcise ugliness by speaking of it through beauty.
beaucoup d'émotions a l'écoute de ce disque de bonne facture .trouvé en fouilant chez TROLL69
_la voix éraillée sur balades enchantées,
blues DYLANien très aériens.les paroles vous les imaginez poétique ... vous allez adorer cet artiste si vous vous laissez emporter dans la légerté et la sincèrité de ses combinaison :calice en osmos avec le repos bien mérité d'une jounée de dur labeur...marci l'artiste
Great sound, vocals come in nice and clear. You have a nice singing voice and you lirics are interesting.
One problem I have with your album is your use of the lucky charms celreal box. Your cover is just an invitiation for a lawsuit as you didn't even bother removing or altering the General Mills logo not to mention the fact that you are using their trademarked (vey different from copyright)box art.
At the very least, I'd photoshop (or Gimp) the General Mills logo out. Probably not enough to avoid the courts but it's better than nothing, it's one less thing for them to sue you for. :)
If you don't care about being sued, I'd consider the impact on Jamendo, they could (in my NON-professional opinion) be sued as well for hosting your album.
Bardzo interesujący wokal, dobra jakość nagrania, ciekawe pomysły aranżacyjne - stonowane ale ok. Texty na tyle ile załapałem fajne:-)
Grand album, d'une qualité excellente, très agréable d'écoute. J'aime beaucoup !
;-) HELLO !
Je trouve cet album,vraiment magnifique. J'aurais beaucoup de choses à y dire dessus pour décrire,ce que j'en pense.
Alors,pour être honnête,10/10,est encore une piètre note.
J'aime vraiment !!!

-) HELLO!
I find this album, really splendid. I would have many things to say to it above to describe, which I think.
Then, to be honest, 10/10, is still a poor note.
I really like!!!
Un cantante folk sorprendentemente original.
Las letras son imaginativas y tiene una buena voz para este estilo.
Destacaría "The bees are dying".
