It’s been a perfect chillout weekend. Most of the time the only music was the wind and sound of waves. And right at the end of it, while enjoying the last cup of coffee there was this track which seemed to fit right in. And so it becomes the song of the week :)

This is the title of a folk song that Led Zeppelin inspired from when creating their famous “Gallows Pole“. This story can be found in many versions, in various countries, like Finland, Sweeden, Hungary and, of course, England. The plot is the same, with a convicted lady asking the hangman to wait for the arrival of friends and relatives, who could offer some bribe :). While in the original versions the plan usually succedes, Page and Plant decided to go for the hangman accepting the bribe but still carrying on with the execution…

In 2003, In-grid released “Tu es foutu”, which was crap, to be honest. However, the 2010 Vive le swing sounds much better. It’s a rare thing for such a dance song to be on musicblog, but I believe this one deserves it.

One of the best songs from The Cure, in my view. A classic!

Today’s single is an old rock / alternative track from the Romanian band AB4. It’s called Nu-ti fa griji in Romanian (approx “Don’t worry” in English) and was released in the 2000s, when the band had a big success. It remained one of the refference songs for the Romanian rock scene.

Today’s song comes from The Black Keys and their latest album – El Camino. A combination of rock and indie that sounds excellent. I specially like the 70s rock sound that is present on the entire album and even more in this track.

It is a great feeling to listen to this song, really loud, while driving.

Enjoy Nirvana’s Stay Away, from the Nevermind album, below.

This week starts with Golden Brown, from one of the most prolific bands of the UK punk scene – The Stranglers. The song was also featured on Snatch Soundtrack. It was released 31 years ago…

Today’s song comes from Kasabian and their 2011 album – Velociraptor. With a Gorrilaz-like sound, it starts great and continues… okish :)

Enjoy Kasabian – Man of Simple Pleasures below. And have a great weekend!

This song reminds me of driving around on winding roads, throughout Europe. It was one of the favourites to listen to in the car. Still sounds great!
