Any Fun by Coconut Records (featuring Chloe Sevigny)
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).

«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 [...]
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 [...]
Já passou uma semana desde o Festival Super Bock em Stock, mas não posso deixar de fazer aqui um resumo daqueles que foram para mim os melhores momentos. No primeiro dia: Ebony Bones e Orelha Negra.

Last week I’ve been in a music festival called “Super Bock em stock”. The festival takes place in several locations (theaters, bars, cinemas) in one of the majors avenues in Lisbon, called Avenida da Liberdade. Here are some of the highlights for the first day.
No outro dia mostraram-me este vídeo do António Zambujo, que eu não conhecia e que acabei por vir a apreciar. Entretanto já tive oportunidade de assistir a um concerto e recomendo. Aqui fica por isso a sugestão… _ The other day someone showed me this video of António Zambujo, an artist I didn’t knew and [...]
Fantastic concert by Andrew Bird, last night on a sold out São Jorge Cinema. It’s pretty impressive the way he makes the whole show, by himself. And what a powerful voice!! Great surprise. (meanwhile, it’s playing “oh no” on the radio! eh eh eh)
First of all, let start with the good stuff: The Lost Fingers I’ve just heard these guys – The Lost Fingers – and this sounds pretty cool. We’ve heard covers before, but I think they’ve got some pretty good stuff here. A special notice to “Careless Whisper”, “Pump Up the Jam”, and obviously… “Billie Jean”. [...]
The last few days, have been crazy. I have had a lot of work and no surf at all. But things are going well, and we have just launched the new website for SYM (scooters, motorcycles and ATVs) in Portugal. There are still a lot of things to do, but… it’s online! Check it out!
Fantastic performance by Badlovers Hysteria Iberika, yesterday at Caixa Económica Operária. Full of power, energy and sensuality! They’re composed by a Spanish girl as the lead singer, a French guy on the guitar and a Portuguese bass player. A powerful mixture that resulted in a great performance! Congratulations!

Last saturday we went to see Elysian Fields, live at Centro Cultural Olga Cadaval, Sintra. I’m not a big fan of this venue, but the concert was memorable. Her voice, their style, his talent, the piano, the red wine… Was simply too much. I’m not really sure, but the best moment might have been when [...]
Bacon Floss This store definitely has the most stupid things to sell, but… Bacon Floss?!? «Dentists recommend flossing and we recommend bacon!» _ Neiman Reports – Special edition on the future of digital journalism I really don’t understand newspapers and their vision about their future. Maybe this will help me. Analyzing the trends in digital [...]
Last week, São Carlos theatre was broadcasting live, the Richard Wagner’s “Siegfried” opera to the square. For free, obviously. It was pretty cool, but it didn’t got the audience I expected. Many empty chairs. The statue you see there represents Fernando Pessoa, a portuguese poet.
A few hours ago I was passing through Rua do Alecrim, when I started noticing some music in the air. The music was coming from Rua de São Paulo, a street that goes under Rua do Alecrim. A band was playing on the street, and they were recording the concert for a music clip or [...]
