Je sais que vous l’attendez tous, notre chanson du jour pour s’aérer la tête en cette période de confinement…et bien la voilà : James – Born Of Frustration…petits veinards !
Quelques posts sur le groupe !
This is the song how I discovered The James. Was Fall ’92 and I was 15, and the Italian MTV put the song in rotation probably for just a couple of weeks. Destiny wanted that I was zapping around MTV and after watching the video and listening the song…I was hooked. I remember days just waiting for probably the once daily rotation. Anyway soon the song went out of rotation. I did everything to get the Seven album that a 15 years old kid could have done just for this song. Unfortunately, in Italy, all major music stores didn’t even know who The James were. During Christmas ’92 I entered in a independent, alternative, little music shop in Rome specialized only in rock, progressive and punk and I don’t even remember for what. On a high shelf, up to the ceiling, there was one copy of Seven. I went directly to the cashier and told her pointing to the album “Please, give me that”. Ran at home, listened and loved the entire album. Since then, never missed a James’ song and listening to them every single day. Strange that this is the first time I watched this video after those MTV rotations.
This song has a special meaning for me. I was living in Los Angeles in ’92 when the uprising against the beating of Rodney King by LAPD happened and this song was all over the radio.
I member listening to this with not a care in the world…. Pasta available, bog rolls stocked and knowbody tried to eat bat soup… Good times
This piece of music must be in any anthology of the best rock songs. I guess this band is one of the most underrated rock bands ever.
