A mais recente aquisição vinílica lá para casa:
“Insónia” de Tiago Sousa & João Correia.
Encontrei este álbum por mero acaso no blog See what you hear que só por isso vale a pena visitarem assiduamente (aproveito para recomendar a audição desta música do Tom Zé que vai andar por Portugal no final do mês).
Do álbum “Insónia” só tenho pontos a favor. Nem um contra.
Um som perfeito numa fantástica edição em vinyl, limitada a 500 exemplares.
Um grafismo sem mácula, ilustrado por Pedro Lourenço.
Podem ouvir o álbum por inteiro (mais um ponto a favor) no site da editora Humming Conch.
E tal como me disseram na Trem Azul, este é possivelmente um dos melhores trabalhos realizados em Portugal.
Oiçam e digam-me o que acharam.

«Once you start procrastinating pleasure, it can become a self-perpetuating process if you fixate on some imagined nirvana. The longer you wait to open that prize bottle of wine, the more special the occasion has to be.
How can you avoid the temptation to postpone pleasure?» “Carpe Diem? Maybe Tomorrow” @ NY Times

A agenda provisória de concertos até Maio já está feita.
Falta fazer contas ao dinheiro, saber a companhia e vencer a preguiça.
_ The concert agenda until May it’s finished. Temporarily, I mean.
I still have to check my bank account, know who’s coming with me… and defeat the couch!
I’m going to start the year with bad news, but I’m hoping that this will be the last ones and that from now on everything will be better.
It was hard for me to choose the best video to honor Lhasa de Sela. I thought of choosing “La Celestina” because reminds me the way I got to know her songs, but I ended up choosing a live version of “Love Came Here“, because it’s recent and she seems happy. I’ve post it on video space.
But I just can’t resist and I’m also posting this video “Rising” (from the same series) just because it’s beautiful. I love this song.
Recorded on Patrick Watson’s loft in Montreal, by Vincent Moon (blogotheque).

Microsoft XBOX – Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. Say goodbye to Wii?

_ The Crunchpad story
“Two weeks ago we were ready to publicly launch the CrunchPad. And then the entire project self destructed over nothing more than greed, jealousy and miscommunication.”
_ Why do we over-consume?
“Personal consumption data is even more telling. When the richest 10% account for 60 % of all private consumption, we have to ask ourselves if these top-tier consumers could possibly improve their well-being any further through material gains?”
_ “How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room” As recriminations fly post-Copenhagen, one writer offers a fly-on-the-wall account of how talks failed
_ No Impact Man
One year reducing waste and consumption. No TV, no car, no electricity…
Nightmare or…”The year we didn’t watch TV and we became much better parents as a result”?

(no, that’s not me in the picture)
After a long break from surfing, I found myself in the water with a air temperature of 3º C. Nice comeback. At least the water temperature seemed fine.
Enquanto espero pela estreia do “Where the wild things are“, resolvi procurar uma curta de animação de 1973 acerca do mesmo livro. Acabei por encontrar algumas coisas engraçadas.
Dexter’s season 4 final episode is absolutely WOW!
I don’t recall a single episode having disturbed me so much. Amazing!
And it’s an absolute success over the internet. Twitter is all about it (spoilers alert!)
Here’s an interview with executive producer Sara Colleton, about the ending of season 4, and the new season 5.
“Of course, when it first comes up, you think, oh no, we can’t do that, because we’ve created these characters and we love them.” http://www.seattlepi.com/tvguide/413268_tvgif14.html (spoilers alert!)
