Blogcritics prize!
Blogcritics.org Best Songs of 2004 [Biased in favor of the electronica genre].Tekitoi is number 11th... It seems the critics preferred his older stuff (that's what is written... maybe due to the fact Tekitoi is less... electro?)!
Read below:
Le prix de la meilleure chanson de Blogcritics.com (en faveur de la musique électronique) a été décerné. Tékitoi est numéro 11: on dirait que les critiques ont préféré les trucs plus anciens de Rachid (c'est ce qui est écrit... ben oui vu Tekitoi est peutêtre plus rock qu'électro...) !
Lisez ci-dessous:
1. Crystal Method ft Lisa [Bellrays] - "Realizer" [The standout track from an outstanding album, Legion of Boom. "Keep-ing Hope Alive", circa 2004, are the boys from L.A.]
2. Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out" (Naum Gabo mix, Johnnie Wilkes) [Catchy, unpretentious ROCK]
3. The Prodigy with Juliette Lewis [yes, the weird actress]- "Spitfire" [The only decent track on their long-awaited release, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. Arabia, here comes electro].
4. The Chemical Brothers ft Q-Tip - "Galvanize" [The Last Emperors of Electronica, still pushing the boundaries of creativity after all these years. Seems like everybody's doing the Arab thing this year.]
5. Moby and Public Enemy - "MKLVFKWR" [The lesser I say about the lyrics, the better. A great oriental-sounding riff saves the song, and propels it into my top 25.]
6. Freestylers - "Get a Life" [Breakbeat Era (the band) revisited. ]
7. Junior Jack - "Stupidisco" ['House Anthem' seems to be his middle name these days]
8. Lemon Jelly - "Stay With You" [Some of the most melodious scratching I have ever heard on a record, suspiciously similar to a sample on KMFDM's "Megalomaniac"]
9. Latinsizer [a member of the Nortec Collective, yes!] - "Ritmo 55" [Can the Tijuana DJs commit no wrong?]
10. Kasabian - "Processed Beats" [An awesome single from an album that does have its lows. Flashback to Primal Scream's heyday]
11. Rachid Taha - "Tekitoi" [Rachid Taha is back to his punk roots, but this is punk with a distinct Arab flavor. Must say, his older stuff is better.]

Rock el casbah 45 among the Telegraph's 50 best cover versions ever recorded!
The Telegraph's music critics select the 50 best cover versions ever recorded (click on the link for the complete classification).
"In the late 1980s, there was a band with the astute name of Pop Will Eat Itself. As the number of TV talent shows expands, it does sometimes seem as if there are no more old songs left to sing – or massacre, in the case of most contestants. But this year has also seen a surge in rather brilliant cover versions – reworkings of songs which have displayed the wit and originality that can shine a new light on a classic track.
To celebrate the renaissance of this pop tradition, our team of music writers have chosen their 50 best cover versions of all time. To qualify, a song had to be well established by one artist, then given a new lease of life by another. "
Les critiques musicaux du Telegraph ont sélectionné les meilleures covers jamais gravées "pour célébrer cette tradition de la musique pop!" qui est revenue en force cette année.(cliquez sur le lien pour voir toute la classification!). Pour être qualifiée, une chanson devait déjà être bien établie par un premier artiste, puis avoir reçu une nouvelle vie grâce à un autre.
Number 45 out of 50 is/Le numéro 45 sur 50 est:
Rock el Casbah - Rachid Taha, 2004
orig. The Clash, 1982
Here is The Telegraph's comment: "Franco-Algerian bad boy Taha idolises Joe Strummer, but sensing something patronising in the original, he recorded this storming Arabic version of the Clash warhorse. Lutes and strings twang and swoop against a thundering rhythm track and exultant chorus. But it's the guttural attack of Taha's vocal that makes your hair prickle – a technique he learnt from records of old and obscure Algerian singers. Key Moment: The plaintive desert flute that kicks it all off."
Voici le commentaire du Telegraph: Le rebelle franco-algérien Rachid Taha idolatre Joe Strummer, mais sentant quelque chose de condescendant dans l'original, il a enregistré cette version orageuse en arabe du cheval de bataille des The Clash. Les luths et les cordes vibrent et descendent en piqué sur le rythme détonnant du morceau et ses choeurs exultants. Mais c'est l'attaque gutturale de la voix de Taha qui vous fait dresser les cheveux sur la tête - une technique qu'il tient de la tradition de lointains et obscurs chanteurs algériens. Moment-clef: quand le flute du désert plaintive donne le coup d'envoi!" (translation kelma)
In between/Au milieu de:
46 The Robots - Señor Coconut & His Orchestra, 2000
Orig. Kraftwerk, 1978
44 Oops I Did it Again - Richard Thompson, 2003
Orig. Britney Spears, 2000
Number one is/Le numéro un est:
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1968
Orig. Bob Dylan, 1967
