Dijo de Britney Spears que parecía un transexual que olvidó ponerse la peluca y tildó a Justin Timberlake de enano con bigotes embutido en un traje de un millón de dólares. Hablamos de Tom Meighan, el vocalista y líder de Kasabian, un británico de lengua desenvuelta con aires de Noel Gallagher, complejo de Peter Pan y una extraña obsesión por aquel famoso alienígena de Spielberg empeñado en regresar a casa.
Este grupo inglés, que surgió en el 99 por la zona de Leicestershire, debe su nombre a Linda Kasabian, uno de los miembros de la atroz Familia fundada por Charles Manson que participó en la sanguinaria matanza de Cielo Drive. Con un nombre con semejante pasado, poco menos que atrevimiento en estado puro se puede esperar del conjunto formado por Meighan, Sergio Pizzorno y Chris Edwards.
De su cuarto y último disco Velociraptor!, producido por Dan the Automator y descrito por Pizzorno como su “particular OK Computer” –salvando las distancias, por supuesto-, nos quedamos hoy con Switchblade Smile. Aquí va el momento festivalero del día. Disfruten.
Switchblade smiles, they go on for miles and will be forever
Now we stand together, there's no denials
Much too soon for the wooden spoon, can you hear the knocking
Now your feet are stomping around the room (Oh! Oh!)
Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?
Move back his wrecking ball, reach through the package
More violence he's coming, he's coming, he's coming
Move back his wrecking ball, reach through the package
More violent he's coming, I'm running, I'm running
Switchblade smiles, they go on for miles and will be forever
Now we stand together, there's no denials
Much too soon for the wooden spoon, can you hear the knocking
Now your feet are stomping around the room
Ring a ring o’ roses, a pocket full of posies
You form disguises (Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?)
No one needs to know (Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming? Can you feel it coming?)
All you wanna do it cos you said it's a lie
You're walking for your people on a warning sky
And all you wanna say "Boy, I've got no soul"
And time it for the people is full of control
Move back his wrecking ball, reach through the package
More violence he's coming, he's coming, he's coming
Move back his wrecking ball, reach through the package
More violent he's coming, I'm running, I'm running
