Have a safe weekend. Take care.

Now, there's really a whiter shade of pale

Gary Brooker, who co-founded Procol Harum, and co-wrote and sang “A Whiter Shade of Pale", his band's most famous song (released 55 years ago) has died on February 19. But only yesterday (and what a day!) this sad news became public. Gary was 76 and was struggling against cancer for a long time :(

Farewell, Mark Lanegan

We, the wolves, we are terribly sad, Mark Lanegan left us today.

His songs were elegant, he was an artist, a great singer and his voice was very unique, rough and smooth at the same time.
Mark was very productive in the last years, he made many songs lately and he also gave his voice to several other songs and I loved his Christmas performances.

For one generation of music lovers, specially in Europe where Mark Lanegan lived and where he was really appreciated, Mark was one of us, a wolf of the pack.

António Sérgio, the wolf master, was a great fan of Mark and he used to delight us playing his songs often on his radio shows and showing us his lastest songs. Mark Lanegan left us too soon, he was 57. We are heartbroken.

"I wanna be your dog" came to the news again two days ago due to the Russian skater Alexandra Trusova amazing performance at this 2022 Winter Olympics.

WOW

Just wow!
Radiohead's Videotape live Bonaroo 2006.
Notice the light beat at 33:47.

At Bonaroo 2006 Radiohead presented some songs from their forthcoming album In Rainbows released on the year next, 2007.
If there are some songs from Radiohead that amaze me, one of the top is Videotape.

This song has been a case study for many musicologists who have spent a long time analyzing this song.
I wonder why only now I stepped by these analyses. Absolutely amazing, thrilling :)

Joyeuse Saint Valentin

"Black Eyes", originally written in 1843 by the Ucranian poet Yevhen Hrebinka for his first wife Maria Vasilyevna, became popular as a song by the Russian opera singer Fédor Chaliapine. Later, a most known version was made by the Italian-born British composer Adalgiso Ferraris who also played this song with the name "Dark Eyes" in a movie. The song became very popular and wrongly known as "Russian traditional" and was played by many artists, including the French jazz guitarist and composer Jean "Django" Reinhardt. "Les Yeux Noirs" the version shown here, is a cover of Django's version made by the American musical duo Pomplamoose, composed of husband-and-wife Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn who spent her childhood in France and Belgium.
Enjoy :)
