Radio zorian - Happy hour

[zorian]

In closing, let me say that from time to time Lizeta has sung several songs by the composers with whom she has charted her course for so many years, such as Haniotis, Loudovikos, Apergis, etc. Songs that have not been recorded, but are circulating on the internet from various appearances.
I will close my tribute with two very beautiful songs by Antonis Apergis, with the voice of Kalimeri. First the "My little sea". The song was first sung by Costas Pavlidis on Apergis' album Take out Feathers and Throw (1998) but also exists on the album - soundtrack of the series Third Wreath (2006) where the undefeated Sofia Assychidou sang it with her amazing voice. Lizeta sings it just as amazingly !!

 

[zorian]

From the same album of Apergis Take out Feathers and Throw of 1998 Kalimeri has sung the homonymous song many times, which was sung by Costas Pavlidis on the album.
I close with this beautiful song .... I will see it again

 

[zorian]

I add (I had forgotten the desert) that in 2016 he participated in another live album, that of Fotini Velesiotou entitled The Chosen. (from the appearances at Technopolis in 2015)
Lizeta sings alone "Violators" and with Fotini two songs. The amazing ones "Toll booth" of Stavros Siolas and "The secret". We will hear these two saying together ...

 

[zorian]

Last minute news. In a recent show on Music Box on ET1 Melina Kana sang a brand new unreleased song with lyrics by her sister, Lizetas Kalimeri and music by Themis Karamouratidis. THE "Spark" so the tribute closes

 

[zorian]

Time this year has grabbed me by the throat and is constantly haunting me, with the result that I do not manage to deal a little with my tributes. And I have a lot on my mind.
I will slowly start a tribute to Nikolas Asimos and whenever I finish it. Nikolas was born in 1949 in Kozani, as Nikolaos Asimopoulos, but later became Asimos (with γιάτα please), lived a turbulent life and in 1988 was found hanged in his tavern in Exarchia. But he left us a legacy of songs and his book "Looking for Crocodiles" to remember him.

 

[zorian]

Nicholas released most of his songs on cassettes, which he sold himself outside the Polytechnic, in the square and wherever he could. Very few of his songs on vinyl.
The first attempt to record on a 45 rpm disc was made in 1975. The disc had on the one hand the Mechanism and on the other him Romio. But because there was a strong reaction from people from Exarcheia, who accused him of selling out in the record labels, etc. then Nicholas left them and recorded the cassettes himself, but with important musicians and companions.
Let's listen to the two songs of the first 45 rpm record ...

 

[zorian]

In 1978 Asimos released his first cassette, entitled:
Illegal Cassette No. 000001: With the barrel that breaks to get out
As you can see from the numbering, it was intended to produce hundreds of thousands of cassettes.

The cover of the cassette !!

 

[zorian]

14 songs faint and achamna and empowered The two songs that were on the 45 rpm disc are also here, at the beginning of the first side.
Of these 14 songs, some have been heard, some not.
Let's hear it first Barrel, I caught a string cord, which we later heard slightly changed by Vassilis Papakonstantinou. The cassette also has a small introduction for the Barrel

 

[zorian]

One of the most shocking songs of Nikolas is the one that starts on the 2nd side of the cassette.
They are not going to hit us

"... they are having a good time and we are anxious
if we will have a job to have to eat ... "

 

[zorian]

And the song that closes both the 2nd side and the cassette in general. Meraklidiko and anarchist

Give up

 

[zorian]

In 1979 he released the triple cassette Bella, with no label. The triplet included the illegal cassette No. 000002 entitled I AM AN OLD MAN, No. 000002 entitled WHY WEAR A CROW and No. 000003 entitled ELEFTHEROS CLASS. All with anti-social sucks blah-blah with special hava.
Let me start with the first. It includes 8 songs and starts with the amazing Ulalum, set to music by a poem by Giannis Skaribas

[zorian]

This second cassette closes with one of Nikolas's most famous songs, the Yusurum

 

[zorian]

Lots of rain today. As in the following days, since they tell us about bad weather until S / K. So there is enough time left to continue my tribute. So let's go to the illegal cassette No. 000003, entitled Why You Wear a Cage. Very good question and more relevant today, that modern cages are much worse than those of the 80's.

 

[zorian]

3 songs on the first side of the cassette, as they are very long in duration. Of the gallows (kolofotia = firefly) lasting 10 minutes, Of the revolution lasting 7 minutes and another 5,5 minutes Smile, go to the first side of the cassette. It was 60 ares, after all, 30 minutes each side. (Although there was no room for a song yet)
4 songs the XNUMXnd side. It starts with the wonderful With Battery, another of the well-known songs of Nikolas

 

[zorian]

And the cassette closes with him Special Hava, song name and thing

 

[zorian]

Eleftheros classes the title of the cassette No 000004. A total of 8 songs in this cassette, from 4 on each side. It starts with Festival, which is the song O Romios but with a little teased music and some variations in the lyrics. And it closes with a (small) cover Give up.
Of the other songs, we will listen first I got bored of the Resistance

 

[zorian]

The previous song, like To my comrades the noses but also the changes that took place in Romios, show the dissatisfaction of Asimos for many who, while saying that they are going against, finally find a dish and put their thick ass.
The next song we will hear is the traffic light

 

[zorian]

 

[zorian]

In 1982, the only 33 rpm record was released that was released while Asimos was alive.
Its title: AGAIN or (full title) The magic word is AGAIN what did not enter, say again what did not enter.
Participating are Vassilis Papakonstantinou, Haris Alexiou and the Backstroke Company. Some songs were on the cassettes, but here they are with more careful orchestration and recording.
