NEW ORDER: Music Suggestion Of The Day 13/10/2018

It’s been a long time indeed; and with darkness descending upon us there is a relative slow or slightly depressed mood around. So what’s better than today’s band? The ominous sighting of winter the Blue Monday track and foremost the continuity to one of the most distinguishing rock figures of 80’s music simply give us the suggestion “ready to use”

Triptykon: Music Suggestion Of The Day 08/10/2018

Having seen a recent activity about an older post (see related links below) I suddenly realized that even though I’m a great fan I haven’t suggested Frost progenies yet!! I always thought that the great Celtic Frost should re-appear as they did with the landmark monotheist release, but with Ain dead who can blame Warrior for picking up the mantle from where monotheist ended?

Aretha Franklin: Music Suggestion Of The Day 03/10/2018

Right after the blondes dominating the endless debate of the sexiest creature on the planet (amongst sexist males I guess) based on hair color and temperament there is a Diva that never depended on her looks to bring out her majestic voice and talents. She never bet on her looks and despite of that she still IS probably amongst the best female singer of her genre and time.

Rock N Girls Part VI: Revenge of The Blondes

When seeing the dates it feels like I'm on someone's payroll and get anxious from the fact that those girls were ready to dance along, swing along, do whatever a healthy girl would do when hearing fine rock n roll tunes; and I was not ready or able to compile...So, it is time for some drooling action with the likes of Anastasia (Kvitko –the Russian blonde Kardashian) and Antje (Utgaard) dancing along classic rock n roll anthems. I have to say that blondes are coming on, full speed and grace and it looks like that they are finally can take some revenge on their adversaries. The following post (as the previous 5) is restricted (unknown why) to people that are under 18 of legal age and immature of all ages, races and creeds. If anyone isn't a part of these 2 large categories can proceed immediately. All others, SJW's, haters and imbeciles please stay away...

Long Distance Calling: Music Suggestion Of The Day 3/9/2018

It is hard to strike back after suggesting Samael, but I guess this won’t matter a bit with today’s one; Another one from the legendary Statler, whose suggestions are often met with exhilaration (e.g. Audrey Horne)

Retro Database: Muppets Reloaded

Well I know that some of you would expect the follow-up of the girls saga. But having seen what the lawful copyright fighters have done with our original retro post about our beloved Muppets, Kokdi thought that it is time for a reload section compiled with the official videos that surely maintain the frolic charisma of its characters while the originality in all the tunes they revise is both interesting and funny and is always worthwhile watching.

SAMAEL: Music Suggestion Of The Day 01/09/2018

First of the month…The time that should be in every calendar something like New year’s Day, since summer vacation ended for the vast majority of people, leaving our paradise beaches to the happily retired German, Dutch and UK’ers of this world. We start again and after 2 months of silence, without those sexist girls pestering your sense of politically correctness, without any interesting music (whoever didn’t get the Audrey Horne post must repeat their visit to that link) suggestions; just the lazy breeze of the heated air of the eastern Mediterranean sea…

And there you have it: September; a month to get depressed with..The sun is growing smaller with every second passing and eventually the death of our summer will commence the birth of darkness..So who else suitable than today’s suggestion?

Τα του Κάισαρως, τω Καίσαρι και τα της Θεάς, τη Θεά

Εντάξει Κύρα Σούλα μου. Οι διακοπές τελείωσαν το Παγκόσμιο το πήρε η Γαλλία και είμαστε όλοι έτοιμοι για τον βιασμό που ονομάζεται νέα σεζόν...Επειδή, κάποια στιγμή θα'ρθει και το διαβόητο "punk αλλά", θα παραληρήσω σήμερα για την αρρώστια μου, που την βλέπω να πνίγεται από την πολύ επιτυχία σαν αμαθής μαθές στα δύσκολα. Και επειδή όλα είναι θέμα προσώπων και πράξεων πρέπει να τοποθετηθώ (Σημείωση Σύνταξης στο εξής σ.σ. "χέστηκε η φοράδα στ' αλώνι"). Επειδή όμως παράλληλα υπήρξαν πολλές απειλές περί Subbuteo και η αλήθεια είναι πως δυσκολεύομαι αρκετά να αναπνεύσω υποβρύχια με τσιμεντένιο βαθράκι στα πόδια μου είναι ώρα να θέσουμε τα πράγματα και στην σωστή τους βάση. Ώρα δηλαδή να αποδώσουμε τα του Καίσαρος τω Καίσαρι και τα αντίστοιχα στη Θεά…

WORLD CUP SERIES REWIND

We skip in time to pay homage to the twenty first global football celebration that take place in Russia and starts today…All posts are frozen in Sunday 20/05 and our beautiful brunettes that are “building up some hope for return anytime soon…

Rock N Girls Part V: The Brunettes Strike Back

Ok it is really the time for some of the hottest girls to come along and… boost ignition! Brunettes are not kidding this time providing one of the most metal-based 100-track playlist of the Rock ’N’ Girls saga, to date. The matter is however to choose sides and tip the balance of the scale to one or the other direction, eventually. Nevertheless brunettes are coming by storm and the rest is …history (??) The following post (as the previous 4) is restricted (unknown why) to people that are under 18 of legal age and to immature of all ages, races and creeds. If anyone isn't a part of these 2 large categories can proceed immediately. All others, SJW's, haters and imbeciles please stay away...

Black Mountain: Music Suggestion Of The Day 02/06/2018

OK, there is no retro database this week prior to the GIRLS (part V coming soon). OK, True Detective got me there…But when the most successful TV series and my bro Statler are combined, there is an obvious suggestion right there…In Kokdi’s you may have amongst your 365 suggestion thrash, punk, hard & heavy, rock n roll, swing, Greek folk music, dance, jazz, even classical…Why not doing so with my favorite country (Canada) ?

Audrey Horne: Music Suggestion Of The Day 31/05/2018

We have to start metallizing these suggestions won’t we? Today’s band however despite their founding members obvious prior entanglements to known black metal bands, is not going to do exactly so. Tributing once again my brother statler, it is time to suggest something new that comes from the north; it is not NWoSDM though…

PLACEBO: Music Suggestion Of The Day 29/05/2018

And right after the Girls (there is more in the battle) we have to be very cautious not to ruin the simplicity of curves combined with classic AOT and hard rock tunes. So, I thought, why not return to the «safety» of MyTop100 List? And be quite opposite to the sexist label some viewers may think after feasting their eyes with

the Rock N Girls saga….

Rock N Girls Part IV: Attack Of The Blondes

It is time for those GIRLS again. It is the time that I must admit I’m a sexist just because I’m offering to the public eye what was already there; so therefore I am. Nevertheless it is time for 100 tunes of easy listening hard rock and AOR anthems of the past illustrated with beautiful girls dancing along, swinging along…doing what a pretty girl would do when hearing for example Whitesnake or Aerosmith.

Retro Database: The Three Stooges

Right before the girl’s time, here comes laughter… «Does anybody remember laughter?» as Plant used to say before Stairway. Curly, Moe and Larry, always stand proud and quite different to these ominous quotes, providing archetypical mixture of vaudeville and slapstick humor with audio preparing thus the stage for EVERY comedian who would use the useful idiot routine (from Jerry Lewis to Jim Carrey)

Meshuggah: Music Suggestion Of The Day 24/05/2018

Let us continue May’s story (???) with some soft and gentle before someone tell us that we’ve softened up. Today’s band comes from the notorious north full of technicality and brutal awesomeness spawned by the over the top sometimes thrash-like aggression and prog oriented polyrhythms.

Cradle Of Filth: Music Suggestion Of The Day 22/05/2018

Without any referral to the demise of one of my favorite Greek comedians, which I pledge to do soon enough, I’m cutting right through the chase and start wondering how the f…k I failed mentioning today’s band until now in Kokdi’s

It is not enough that I don’t like as much the new age black metallers as the old ones, but it is safe to say that their disappointing live shows in Greece (excessive use of electric, or pre recorded drum lines) might have done it. Never the less today I’m proposing what once Metal Hammer called: Sex & Death uber alles….

Rock N Girls Part III: A Brunette's Hope

No worries there ladies & gents..It is time for our weekly (??) appointment with beautiful girls accompanying classic hard rock anthems…The following post (as the previous 2) is restricted (unknown why) to people that are under 18 of legal age and immature of all ages races and creeds. If anyone isn’t a part of these 2 large categories can proceed immediately. All others, SJWs, haters and imbeciles please stay away….

Retro Database: Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean

So it is time again for some cool memorabilia left unharmed by youtube’s copyrights policy. Without a doubt today’s star is somehow peculiar but widely recognizable in the long series of Britain’s fine comic actors.

For sure he is well known by this Sellers – like character, a.k.a. Mr. Bean an obnoxious fellow that tends to grow on you like a well deserved mushroom full of moisture and psychedelic awesomeness!!!

Rage: Music Suggestion of the Day 17/05/2018

Ok where were we? Amongst blondes and brunettes, news flashes that shock, we have to maintain present course and be righteous to those who tend the fire…..

So today’s band is considered to be a classic nowadays; a fine example of German thrash – power metal band with power, not equal to the holy trinity (never sounding like it too) but enough to stand proud alongside bands like Helloween, Gamma Ray and so on

Mekong Delta: Music Suggestion Of The Day 15/05/2018

“What would heat things up after these nice vixens which danced along AOR tunes of the 80’s?” Kokdi thought and today’s band popped up immediately. They are difficult to hear and concentrate to, but they released landmark albums which are considered to be true gems of the genre.

Rock'N'Girls Part II (The Blonde Edition)

Ok it is time for Part II, for the sexiest and most sexist series of post @ Kokdi’s. The following post is restricted for the under aged, or the immature of legal age.

A Tribute to MARVEL's MCU

Having dealt with all the problems with nerds, hardcore fans, moviegoers e.t.c. it is time to establish what already was known to me; That in the competition amongst the best 2 comic labels MARVEL have already established a groundbreaking thesis in contrast with DC, despite DC’s long term collaboration with a powerful studio that is WB. The MCU franchise is way ahead from the rest of the competition, despite the Disney oriented SJW practices.

Atheist: Music Suggestion Of The Day 11/05/2018

I’ve really tried to heat things up due to the forthcoming Rock’N’Girls Part II (which is a classic hard rock, AOR combo with tons of beautiful babes swinging alongside the tunes) but all I get is prog and diversity. So I’ve turned to Chris (x-sickness) and his suggestions.

Having heard today’s suggestion’s first release I always had them in mind but never found the right opportunity; no worries the time has come

Cynic: Music Suggestion Of The Day 09/05/2018

Today I was  bound on suggesting something heavy as fuck…But the road ended up at today’s band; another fine example about the artistic freedom metallers often pursue despite their obvious non – commercial twists and turns. We’ve seen many groups @ Kokdi that started somehow and ended elsewhere (Tiamat, Paradise Lost, Woods Of Ypres, Ulver, Anathema and many more); and today’s band is no exception. In encyclopaedia in the genre section one can read: Thrash (early), Prog Death (mid), Prog Rock/Jazz Fusion I might add (later). So today’s suggestion is not only heavy as fuck (their first album is considered amongst the best in prog death metal), but diverse and interesting along the way, covering the span of metallic genre with obvious to my opinion jazz influences.

Rock'N'Girls

Ladies & Gents I know it’s been too long for a big combo. Having to protect the label sexist, that anyone without brains could have labeled me with, after the generation ΓΑΠ post, I’ve tried hard not to….fap over the series we are introducing for this Sunday on and hopefully for another 5 Sundays to come. It is definitely the most sexist and the sexiest post of Kokdi’s. So I hope both genders to enjoy.

Blue Öyster Cult: Music Suggestion Of The Day 03/05/2018

Here you are lads, we’re going to treat you once again with something from the Top100 portfolio; it is strange why we haven’t dealt with today’s band before. With songs like Don’t fear the reaper, veteran of psychic wars, or Metallica covered Astronomy, they have surely earned their place not only in this humble blog but also to rock ‘n’ roll paradise.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Music Suggestion Of The Day 17/04/2018

Today we still keeping our Top100 List material but we plunge into controversy much deeper than Aero-Trump did yesterday. No one can underrate today’s band. But still, blaming Neil Young for southern atrocities is way senseless. Today’s band surely set the standards for everything dubbed southern (hard) rock, later on.  On the other side with songs like that smell, freebird or simple man, no one could say otherwise; but the strong southern roots and quite often the lyrics impose alien concepts to rock; like woman abuse, the right on bearing arms without serious control and in general one retrograde life perception filled with racial prejudices.

We choose not to strengthen these features of the band’s music, but focus on the sense of freedom, cool travelling throughout never ending landscapes of wild beauty and of course the unimpeded sense of rocking an’ rolling without sounding either bluegrass or country – like, which was expected at first, to say the least.

Aerosmith: Music suggestion Of The Day 16/04/2018

Let us start this new week with a Top100 suggestion. Not my favorite glam rock band (see links below for more sleaze ). Even G’n'R punk-like attitude gives more to the hard rock concept than this, undoubtly, historic band from the US.
Never the less no one should forget gems like the Rocks album, or easily bypass their early 70's releases that were as groundbreaking as KISS were, without being recognized as an all time classic arena rock band. Today’s post is primarily focused on those 4 early 70’s releases maintaining the ranking according to RYM.

Dave Brubeck: Music Suggestion Of The Day 12/04/2018

Ok, now that we’ve left the sanctity of Easter behind us it is time for our first music suggestion of the year; which is odd that after 4 months the first suggestion of the year is not of rock but jazz origins, and it doesn’t bash people’s head in (much like Cannibal Corpse did), but try to make it easier to understand, to remember or to forget. The most easy listening Jazz – man is according to my standards the pianist and orchestrator and conductor Mr. Dave Brubeck

Γιατί είμαι ΑΕΚ Vol.2

Το έχω ταμένο κάνα 2 χρόνια τώρα αλλά ποιος μπορεί να ζητήσει για πιο κατάλληλη στιγμή από τούτη εδώ που ζούμε φέτος?

Και αν κάποιος πει ότι «τώρα θυμήθηκες?» , να του υπενθυμίσω ότι η αγάπη μας για τον Δικεφαλο, φάνηκε κυρίως τότε που υπάρχουν τα πρώτα κείμενα – εστίες της δικής μας αλήθειας• κυρίως τότε, που το Αεκάκι στα χείλη των αντιπάλων, κέρδιζε και μια κάποια συγκαταβατική συμπάθεια, που δημιουργούνταν αναμφίβολα από το γεγονός ότι κανείς δεν θα ήθελε να βρεθεί στην θέση μας• και για να μην παρεξηγούμαι, κανείς από αυτούς που δεν είχαν κάνει ποτέ την πορεία προς τα κάτω (δηλ το λεγόμενο ποδοσφαιρικό big4). Από τότε γράφαμε λοιπόν στηλιτεύοντας ΜΟΝΟ ΕΜΕΙΣ τον σωτήρα μας (άκουσον – άκουσον) για την απροθυμία του να βάλει τα φράγκα που θα χρειάζονταν προκειμένου να διατηρήσουμε μια αίγλη που ανεπιστρεπτί έχει πλέον τελειώσει, με αποτέλεσμα η Νέα ΑΕΚ να είναι τώρα εκεί που βρίσκεται, με ένα μεγάλο και αναπόδραστο στίγμα στην, έως τότε, ακηλίδωτη ιστορία της.

Και μην βιαστούν κάποιοι γαυροβαζελοβουλγαροι να μιλήσουν για την παράγκα της ΑΕΚ, σαν έννοια κηλίδας, γιατί αν αυτή υπήρξε ποτέ, ούτε εγκλημάτησε εις βάρος κάποιου, αδικώντας τον παράφορα και στερώντας του ό,τι κέρδιζε στο γήπεδο, ενώ, όταν υπήρξε, κατ’ αυτούς που δικαιώνονται για τον 20ετη βιασμό της πραγματικότητας με το πρώτο λάθος σφύριγμα εις βάρος τους, παίκτης – σύμβολο της εποχής, τιμωρήθηκε γιατί απλά παραδέχτηκε την ίδια αλήθεια («έκανα θέατρο και κέρδισα πέναλτι») που μερικά χρόνια αργότερα, άλλης συνομοταξίας οπαδοί, θα την μασκάρευαν σε ΕΤΣΙΘΕΛΙΚΗ εναλλακτική πραγματικότητά της, αναφορικά με τα πέτσινα πέναλτι που σωρηδόν κέρδιζαν (ή καλύτερα κέρδιζαν όταν προέκυπτε η ανάγκη να τα κερδίσουν) γράφοντας, σε οπαδικό μέσο, το αμίμητο: «Τα πόδια ήταν έξω, αλλά η καρδιά ήταν μέσα»• να μην μιλήσουμε από τώρα για καρδιά…..

Retro Anime Database: Looney tunes A WB toons tribute

Wanting to get re – acquainted with the retro database series I was trying to see what was left uncovered. We’ve had Popeye and Tin-Tin, Pink Panther and Lucky Luck, Asterix and Once Upon a time series, Ulysses 31 etc

At the very end I said «wait, I say wait a minute, where darn ol’ Leghorn is, where Duffy, Spike are and above all where is BUGS???? »

Mother!: Food for Thought

SPOILER ALERT!!

Όποιος δεν έχει δει την ταινία, καλύτερα να την δει πρωθύστερα της αναγνώσεως του παρόντος. Εκκινώντας από το τι τελικά είναι άξιο να καλείται κινηματογράφος (καίτοι η αξιολογία παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην συζήτηση για να μην καταλήξει αφοριστική), έχω ακούσει κατά καιρούς διάφορες απόψεις

Άλλοι λένε ότι ο κινηματογράφος οφείλει να σε βγάζει από την ζώνη βολής σου (comfort zoneπου λένε και στο χωριό μου). Άλλοι εξαίρουν την τεχνική αρτιότητα ενός φιλμ και προκρίνουν αυτό σαν κριτήριο ένταξης μιας ταινίας στο πάνθεον ενός σινεφίλ. Ευτυχώς οι κινηματογραφιστές κάνουν ταινίες χωρίς το δικό μας άγχος για να ενταχθούν σε κουτάκια, δόξα τω θεώ, και χωρίς να ακολουθούν παντιέρες τύπου Γκονταρ, ή χειρότερα και, ευτυχώς (και εξαιτίας της δημοφιλίας του είδους) θα συνεχίζουν να κάνουν ταινίες, ικανοποιώντας ο καθείς, δικές τους ανησυχίες, ανάγκες κλπ• η δική μου απάντηση στο παραπάνω διακύβευμα δίνεται πολύ απλά με την δυνητική ικανότητα κάθε φιλμ να το σχολιάσεις αφού το δεις και ουχί πριν, μαζί με άλλους συγκοινωνούς σου. Τούτο κατοχυρώνει και την όποια, περαιτέρω του δίωρου θέασης, αξία της• η επαναληψιμότητα της αφενός και η αντοχή της στο χρόνο αφετέρου. Γιατί ο κινηματογράφος ευτυχώς διαθέτει μαζικότητα στην απεύθυνση, δεν είναι όμηρος κανενός μαυσωλείου που ορίζει κατά το δοκούν, ποια είναι τα ποιοτικά επίπεδα κάθε φιλμ που τελικά θα δεις για να τα δεις. Ευτυχώς οι επαΐοντες έχουν πέσει τόσο έξω στις κριτικές τους, που πλέον το σινεμά και λόγω διαδικτύου, έχει ξεφύγει του ελέγχου και της πληρωμένης, αρκετές φορές, παρρησίας τους, όταν αποφάσιζαν να προκρίνουν μια ταινία έναντι άλλων, ή να εξαφανίσουν μια ταινία, έναντι άλλων, πολύ απλά γιατί τους έθιγε προσωπικά και άρα έπρεπε να ριχθεί στην πυρά.

Λόγια Δανεικά Vol 20 Η ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΚΗ

Κατ’ αρχάς να ξεκινήσω με την εξής τοποθέτηση (είπαμε μην και συμβεί κάτι κ δεν τοποθετηθούμε): Η Μακεδονία, όπως και οι Πρέσπες, είναι τριεθνής. Δεν είδα όμως κανένα να μάχεται για την ελληνικότητα των Πρεσπών - πάλι καλά! Αναφορικά με το γεωγραφικό εκείνο κομμάτι που ονομάζεται Μακεδονία, τούτο διαιρείται σε γιουγκοσλαβικό, σε βουλγάρικο και στο μεγαλύτερο κομμάτι που ανήκει στον ελλαδικό χώρο. Επομένως, η Θεσσαλονίκη, η Πέλλα και η Χαλκιδική (που σαν και αυτή δεν έχει), θα παραμείνουν Ελληνικά για όσο χρονικό διάστημα ισχύουν οι μεταπολεμικές διεθνείς συνθήκες που έχουν υπογραφεί με τα τέλη των Βαλκανικών και του Πρώτου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου. Επομένως και, εφόσον δεν συμβεί κάτι πολεμοχαρές και αναμφίβολα καταστρεπτικό, η Μακεδονία όπως την ξέραμε, δεν θα μετατοπιστεί αίφνης βορειότερα, ή δεξιότερα, με αυτοβουλία και θα παραμείνει στον λεγόμενο ελλαδικό χώρο, που ξαναλέω δεν είναι τέτοιος επειδή εμείς ΕΙΜΑΣΤΕ απόγονοι του Μ. Αλέξανδρου, ενώ οι άλλοι δεν είναι˙είναι τέτοιος, επειδή έτσι τον όρισαν οι διεθνείς συνθήκες και το αίμα των αθώων που πολέμησαν, είτε με την αφέλεια και το κίνητρο που δίνουν οι συνήθως δυσανάλογες μα και μεγαλοπρεπείς εθνικές ιδέες, που ως γνωστόν γεννούν νεκροταφεία και όχι ιδανικά, είτε με την εμμονή και την μονομέρεια της προάσπισης κυριαρχικών, έως τότε δικαιωμάτων τους, στην περιοχή.
