Motörhead - Ace Of Spades

Para quem gosta realmente de jogar, ganhar ou perder é irrelevante.

The Pixies - Hey

E a emoção que é ver Pixies ao vivo... Paredes de Coura 2005. Uma lágrima lamechas rola-me face abaixo enquanto assisto à triunfal entrada em palco de uma das minhas bandas preferidas... Inesquecível.

 

"hey been trying to meet you, hey must be a devil between us or whores in my head"

Taxidermia - Cena do Suicídio

O melhor suicídio cinematográfico que já tive o prazer de apreciar. Taxidermia é um filme chocante e genial, dotado de um humor negro tão mórbido que roça o censurável. A forma artística com que se apresenta o obsceno chega a ser poética e isso deslumbra-me. Para mim, não só um ícone do cinema húngaro, como uma marca na cronologia da própria indústria, e dos meus filmes preferidos. Aqui fica a tão famigerada cena final.

Air - The Vagabond

No dia em que se assinala mais um concerto de Air no Coliseu do Porto, aqui deixo a referência. Esta consta do seu terceiro álbum 10000 Hz Legend e conta com a colaboração de Beck na letra, na voz e nos arranjos musicais.

The Grey Race - From Me To You

"If this is all I'm going to get from this world, then so be it,
I'm too tired to throw the punches..."

Arcade Fire - Crown Of Love

Das melhores prestações ao vivo que já vi de uma banda - Paredes de Coura 2005. Aqui fica um hino.

Jeremy Messersmith - A Girl, A Boy, And A Graveyard

Jeremy Messersmith: esta nova paixão é recente, mas fatal. Há qualquer coisa de inocente mas ao mesmo tempo de tétrico nas suas músicas que me seduz. De certa forma, lembra-me Elliott Smith. Aliás, uma crítica feita por The Onion a este artista refere precisamente isso: "Imagine Elliott Smith driving in a convertible, the wind flying through his hair, singing about sadness and somehow creating joy enough to forget his troubles for a while". Aqui fica a brilhante interpretação ao vivo de A Girl, A Boy, And A Graveyard do seu mais recente trabalho intitulado The Reluctant Graveyard.

A-Ha - Crying In The Rain

If that's what it takes, so be it.

dEUS - Disappointed in the Sun

Este ano, no Festival Marés Vivas. Será que é desta que vou finalmente ver dEUS ao vivo...?

"Under the sea, is where I'll be, no talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream 

the lightning comes before the roar..."

"Under the sea, down here with me I find I'm not the only one
Who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been
so disappointed in the sun..."

Syd Matters - Everything Else

Outra pérola de Syd. Não me canso deste homem...

Röyksopp feat. Karin Deijer - What Else Is There?

Yes, what else is there...?

Snow Patrol - The Golden Floor

The Juliets - This Just In

A minha mais recente descoberta, The Juliets. Grande malha...

Mercury Rev - Endlessly

Equinox, the Peacekeeper - How Did You Fall

Constantly falling, constantly rising... the same old beating heart.

How did you fall? Tell me how did you fall?
I fell because the road raised its angle
And I fell because the stakes were doubled in the gamble
And I fell because the moon lost its meaning
And I fell cause I forgot that I was dreaming

Why did you fall? Tell me why did you fall?
Cause I confess that to lie is more convenient
And I guess that I remembered the agreement
That my map was already outlined
My road described no need to follow my own signs

You were flying so high
But now you're down and lost
I just needed to know how and why

When did you fall? Tell me when did you fall?
I fell when I traded what I gained for ownership
I fell when I claimed that those words came from my lips
I fell when I tried to tell them that I owned the ship
I started drooling on the deck, and it made me slip

Where did you fall? Tell me where did you fall?
I fell on an island of stone and dry ground
Fell in a place that had walls all around
I couldn't really see what was happening
But I hope that I hurt no one by my crashing in

you were flying on your way there
you changed your route
I just needed to know when and where

And will you fly again? Tell me will you fly again?
I don't know but I'll try to be prepared
Though my fall has bruised me and it made me scared
But I'm glad to know I get another chance
That they saved some room for me in their sacred dance

And I'll try not to fall, I'll try not to fall...
