60 years of Gloria

Van Morrison wrote "Gloria" in the summer of 1963 while he was turning 18 years old and touring mostly as a sax player in Germany with the Monarchs. A little later he joined the Gamblers which became the band Them. Live performances of "Gloria" usually lasted for 15 minutes or more due to jamming improvisation. Though "Gloria" had been performed since 1963, it was firstly recorded with Van Morrison and the Them in April 1964 and released in December of that year. Here's Them performing live on October 19 1965 at Music hall de France, Paris:

"Gloria" was covered by many bands and musicians, including the Doors which may have made the most famous version of all. However, the most thrilling ones are the Patti Smith's versions.

Just for its beauty, here's also "Gloria" by Van Morrison with John Lee Hooker :)

Kings of Maybe, 15 years

This blog started 15 years ago with a couple of friends from music forums before social media as known a few years later. And quickly many other friends joined this blog, in total we were 15 members. Our target was to share mostly unknown or little known music. And only good taste was admissible. Then, Facebook and other social networking became more attractive until it became too polluted as most of the web nowadays, keeping people away from this kind of relationship. 
Anyway, this blog has a great audience, the reason why it is alive after 15 years. Thank you so much.
The name of this blog comes from an expression from Peter Gabriel in a Genesis song. Let's watch them again.

Missing António Sérgio for 14 years

António Sérgio, one of the best radio directors ever, left us precisely 14 years ago. We miss him every day.
Let us remember him with one of his (many) favorite songs, India by the Psychedelic Furs.

Dead Can Dance, The Serpent's Egg, The Host of Seraphim, 35 years


The Host of Seraphim is the kind of song that we can never forget and it marks a generation. It is the first song from the album The Serpent's Egg from the duo Dead Can Dance, having the iconic voice of Lisa Gerrard singing in glossolalia. Here's the studio version in this unofficial video combining Gregory Colbert's footage from his film Ashes and Snow which goes so well together with this song. Besides, Colbert used Lisa's musical compositions in that very work of art of his. Apart from Dead Can Dance live presentations, The Host of Seraphim has also been performed by orchestras and choirs with Lisa or other singers . Still, I believe the Dead Can Dance make the purest and the thrillingest performances, as this one shown here, from their concert in Lisbon last year.

forever dolphin love

I'm so glad I heard this suggestion from Josh Lloyd-Watson of Jungle when he answered the question "what song would you like to listen underwater if you were a dolphin" to the "Russian Roulette" topic on Radar Radio. I had almost completely forgotten this amazing song "Forever Dolphin Love" from Connan Mockasin's debut album.

Houses of the Holy, 50 years

50 years ago or, to be more precise, 50 years and 6 months ago, Led Zeppelin released their fifth album, Houses of the Holy. For many fans, it was a bit disappointing 'cause the fourth album was simply astonishing. Though, this fifth was maybe Zeppelin's second best of all.
Here's some of its songs live and the whole studio recording. Enjoy :)

note: this 1st video cuts the ending of the song, sorry, but there's no other option.

Song to the Siren, a song of a generation

... or should I say a song of generations?
Here's the most known version of the Song to the Siren:

It was firstly known 40 years ago, after the releasing of the stunning cover by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins for the British music collective This Mortal Coil in September 1983. Here's a previous version performed live by the Cocteau Twins:

The song was made by Tim Buckley (Jeff's father) over a poem from his friend Larry Beckett and firstly broadcasted 55 years ago, on March 25, 1968, in the final episode of The Monkees TV show. It was only released much later, in 1970 in Tim's album Starsailor.

After This Mortal Coil's version, Song to the Siren became a cult song included in many movie soundtracks like the David Lynch's Lost Highway and finally, it was covered by more than 60 artists, including John Frusciante, Sinéad O'Connor, Bryan Ferry, Robert Plant...
And also Larry Beckett, the writer of the poem, recorded a version with The Long Lost Band, presented in 2016.

Björk 35 years ago

Yes, she gave us a wonderful concert in Lisbon yesterday, September 1st. Yes, she released her first album 30 years ago. However, I'd love to remember her 35 years ago when Sugarcubes started and also rewatch her prodigious imagination. I'm talking about Björk, an artist who started to build her career, at least since she started talking, I guess...

Deus. And Coldsweat:

Karen Dalton, 1937-1993

Karen Dalton is one of those cases of artists as Nick Drake and Tim Buckley which gained recognition much after their lifetimes. Courtney Barnett, Nick Cave, Devendra Banhart, are some of the artists that consider Karen as their influence. Here's her song "Something On Your Mind" and testimonies from Barnett and Cave about Karen and that very song. And also Karen in 1970 playing "A Little Bit of Rain". Karen died 30 years ago, on March 19, 1993.

I don't wanna dance

Originally the 3rd single from the Psychedelic Furs edited in 1980, "Mr Jones" was included in their second album "Talk Talk Talk" released in 1981, as the version shown below.

Here's a live version from a concert in Germany, 1981. Sorry, the sound is not good, but the video deserves a watch.

Mr Jones can turn you on and turn you off again. Mr Jones is all of you who live inside a plan. Put your head upon the pillow, never put it down. That would only wake you up and turn your head around.
So good so far, slow down ha ha. Movie stars and ads and radio define romance. Don't turn it on, I don't wanna dance.

Love is all we share

3 years ago this techno-pop band from Australia released their latest album and this song. Impossible not to remember "I'm Not in Love" the song by 10cc that inspired so many musicians like Mike Mills when REM composed "Star Me Kitten". Cut Copy mainly makes dance music and therefore this beautiful song kinda dream pop is way out of their tune.

Enjoy, have a nice Friday :)

Guns of Brixton

Guns of Brixton is a song reflecting the racial tensions and serious social and economic problems in Brixton, South London, resulting in tragic riots in 1981. It's the first song written and sung by the Clash bassist Paul Simonon, who wrote it right after learning to play guitar in 1978. Paul Simonon grew up in Brixton, he knew very well what he was singing about. Proposedly written as a reggae song, it's the 1st 100% reggae song of The Clash, a punk band. Paul Simonon also played with other artists like Damon Albarn and Gorillaz, and he's also an illustrator, he designed some covers for albums like "Tighten Up, Vol. 88" of Big Audio Dynamite.

The song became a classic loved by many artists who covered it as shown here, like the Arcade Fire:

The Chicha Libre from Brooklyn, New York:

The amazing reggae band Jemiayka from Poland, also playing their fellow compatriots Alians version "bomby domowej roboty":

45 years ago, Nina Hagen


Nina Hagen made waves in the late Punk scenario, in 1978 when her 1st album Nina Hagen Band was presented. However, it was a long birth, of course the language barrier was the main reason and it took nine months to get known even by the punk audience abroad. Fortunately, Nina's talent and her enormous irreverence were great enough to cross frontiers.

Magazine, 45 years ago.

When we talk about Howard Devoto, his band Magazine and Real Life, their first album, we all immediately remember remarkable songs like Definitive Gaze and The Light Pours Out of Me, both shown many years ago in this very blog. But 45 years after, Shot By Both Sides and Motorcade sound so much better. Indeed, they were ahead of their times. Suggestion: try to listen first, only :)

espanta espíritos, scare spirits

always in los ang eles


"Los Angeles" by Frank Black and the Catholics.

Two virtuosos, one song. Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, AKA Black Francis, shows an extraordinary versatility and great vocal control in this song that became his debut solo single in 1993, after the first breakup in the Pixies. Curiously, Angeles is pronounced with a strong G with no apparent explanation. However, there was a certain generation of immigrants who pronounced "Ang'elez" until close to 100 years ago. In 1994, Frank Black joined Lyle Workman in his band, later named "The Catholics". In the 1st video of this post, we can appreciate the excellence of Lyle Workman's guitar solo. Unfortunately, only one record was released with Lyle Workman playing on that song, in a poor version of the live album Black Session. Lyle Workman is a multifaceted songwriter, record producer and musician who composes music for cinema and has performed with numerous artists such as: Sting, Bryan Adams, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Ziggy Marley, Lisa Marie Presley and many more. He could be a pop star. He chose to be in music this way.
Below, the second part of the song as it was recorded originally:

why do you look at me like that?

When I first heard this version of this old song I immediately fell in love with it. However, only now there's a proper video. Thank you, Sofia Silva for it.
"Por Que Me Olhas Assim?" (Why do you look at me like that?) is just one of many wonderful songs of Fausto, Fausto Bordalo Dias. Like many other Fausto songs, it has been covered by many artists, like Camané, Luís Represas. BUT 12 months ago I heard this version. Stunningly beautiful.

Tell me now your name, if we already said yes. By our lingering gazes, why do you stare at me like that? Why are you around me like this?

All the light on the avenue unfolds in passion. Druid spells by the touch of your hand. Mild winds sound across the brune seas of my heart.

Mirroring the shop windows of the endless city. You appeared divine, why do you approach me like this? Why do you touch me like this?

And we exchange pendants, silly old words. With different accents, our prose is ready. Turning corners and crevices along the path of letters. That everything else doesn't count.

And there we were bold for late walks. Wandering the asphalt, crossing other bridges of seas that are rivers. And in a bar after hours, if I cry I beg your pardon. Oh, my dear, it's just that I sing inside, dreaming that I'm in Lisbon.

Tell me then, that I am yours and you're all for me. That you put me at my peak, why do you hug me like this? Why do you kiss me like that?

For this night ahead, if you ask me at last. In a sky of glittering advertisements, let's get married in Berlin. In the vain light of the headlights the sheets are silk. why do you love me like this.

And there we were bold for late walks. Wandering the asphalt, crossing other bridges of seas that are rivers. And in a bar after hours, if I cry I beg your pardon. Oh, my dear, it's just that I sing inside dreaming that I'm in Lisbon.

20 years of City Reading - Alessandro Baricco and Air

City Reading (Tre Storie Western) is a very unique album. "City" is a novel written in 1999 by Baricco. In 2001, Baricco asked Air to perform background music to a live theater reading of City. It worked so well, they decided to make this very special album with excerpts from the book read by Baricco himself and mixed by Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and released 20 years ago. A jewel.

L'oiseau chante

The "Flower Duet", became well known due to the 1983 cult film The Hunger performed by David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. In 1989, it was adapted by Malcolm McLaren and Yanni for British Airways "face" advertisements, being named "Aria".
The "Flower Duet" is a song from the 1st act of the opera Lakmé composed by Léo Delibes' in 1881/82 and debuted in Paris in April 1883, almost 140 years ago and precisely 100 years before the release of the film The Hunger.
I selected the start of the video from the most known 2nd part of the song.

Have a happy Spring :)

45 years ago, AC/DC

45 years ago, AC/DC already had a nice repertoire of songs to make great concerts and a glorious live album. And so, their first live album was recorded on 30 of April 1978 in Glasgow, Scotland, birthland of Angus Young, his brother and bandmate Malcolm, their parents and Stevie, nephew of Angus and Malcolm, also becoming their bandmate. Bon Scott, the band's singer back then, was also Scottish. This live album, released that year on October 27, was named "If You Want Blood You've Got It" and it was an energy blast.
I remember listening to this album entirely played back in late 1978 by António Sérgio in his radio show Rotação and it was an absolutely thrilling moment!

To recall that moment I've chosen the monumental "Let There Be Rock". I would also like to post "Whole Lotta Rosie" but, unfortunately, there are no videos at all of this song played in that concert, only audio recordings. So I'm showing that song played 6 months before during another memorable concert in London, which happened precisely one year before the release of "If You Want Blood", curiously.
Enjoy. God save Rock'n'Roll and Let the Sound Be With You.

Nina Nastasia, the restart

Nina Nastasia made her 7th album, Riderless Horse, after a 12 years break. It's a kind of a cure after her toxic and dramatic relationship with her artistic and romantic partner. I selected "Just Stay in Bed" the 1st song from this clip with the full album:

Lisbon is a very welcoming and relaxing place for musicians to start their tours and it was precisely there that Nina started her European tour on March 1st, 2023, and I had the pleasure to watch her and to buy this last album of hers.
I felt very sorry to notice how scarce the audience was. However Nina decided to make a picture of us to post on her Instagram and I captured Nina doing that :)

we are accidents waiting to happen

"There There" ("The Boney King of Nowhere.") was written and composed at least since the year 2000 and finally released in 2003, 20 years ago. Thom Yorke resumed its lyrics as something "supposed to be comforting – 'It's alright, you're just imagining it'" and wrote it after watching Bagpuss (an animated children's television series) with his young son Noah. However, these lyrics can transport the listeners to other environments, of course.

In pitch dark, I go walking in your landscape. Broken branches, Trip me as I speak.
Just 'cause you feel it, Doesn't mean it's there.

There's always a siren, Singing you to shipwreck (Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Steer away from these rocks, We'd be a walking disaster (Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Just 'cause you feel it, Doesn't mean it's there (Someone on your shoulder) There, there.
Why so green. And lonely, and lonely. And lonely.
Heaven sent you. To me, to me. To me.
We are accidents. Waiting, waiting. To happen.

Dedicated to Sarah.

Yoko Ono turned 90

"The world's most famous unknown artist: everybody knows her name, but nobody knows what she does", John Lennon once said about Yoko Ono. Musically it is not easy to appreciate all Yoko's work. But undoubtedly she made very nice songs, and some of the most known are lullabies like "Listen, The Snow Is Falling" and more recently "Who Has Seen The Wind?" due to the cover made by David Byrne and Yo La Tengo included in the tribute album " Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono" released one year ago.

Remembering Free

Formed in London in 1968 (55 years ago) the Free were an amazing blues-rock group, also considered hard-rock pioneers. The members were very young, teens, and they often had disputes which led them to break up definitively in 1973, 50 years ago. Paul Rodgers, the singer, had a great career, he formed the band Bad Company and he was invited to join Deep Purple and to collaborate with Queen amongst others.
Here's some of the Free songs. Enjoy.

Serpents, the official video 11 years after



"Serpents" is Sharon Van Etten's song I like most. I went to the festival Nos Alive on the day 11 of July 2019 mostly to watch Sharon singing this song. It's a brilliant song about a very uncomfortable feeling of anger and Sharon herself didn't feel comfortable when she watched what should be the official video of this song. Only now the video is available by the re-release of the album Tramp, or its 11th (delayed 10th) Anniversary Edition.

the garden

I haven't tended to my garden for so long. Last time it was leafy. The bougainvillea turning red, screwing. And the enchanting perfume. And the parties at dusk. Seems like ages ago, in another incarnation. ... It makes me sorry now looking at it, to the abandoned garden hedges of twisted branches. The great spruce lies fallen. And a huge crater, replaces the beautiful flowerbeds of yesteryear.

From Atomic in love with a German film star


From Atomic is a band from Coimbra, central Portugal, and two months ago they made this very nice cover of "I'm In Love With A German Film Star" the only hit of the British band The Passions. The original song released in January 1981, is kind of "Cold Wave" style, a mix of punk and electronic styles with mechanical rhythms pioneered in the 70's by the German band Kraftwerk. The From Atomic version is nicely rocky. It really moved me :)

Tom Verlaine

Tom Verlaine left us yesterday. He was 73.
Lately (and coincidentally or not it's happening a lot after this decreasing of the pandemic of Covid 19) many of our beloved musicians are dying. This blog is not an obituary but it looks like that, lately. And there were not even mentioned David Crosby, Jeff Beck and others...
Tom Verlaine was the heart and the soul and the frontman of his band Television. Television is one of the "punkosaurus" species, they started to be known due to their concerts in the legendary New York City music club CBGB since 1974. Once this blog is mostly devoted to barely known recordings, the only song posted here was an amazing cover of "Knocking on Heavens Door". Now is time to pay homage to this fantastic artist, Tom Verlaine. We're gonna miss him terribly.

Roger Eno, Between Tides 35 years after

Kings of Maybe is copied to António Sérgio homage page on Facebook and the last post about Roger Eno had very nice feedback. And that's why I'm writing a little more about Roger Eno. Right after the first years of his career he had a great push from his brother Brian Eno who created the Opal Records and the Opal Evenings. In the words of Brian Eno, Opal represented the kind of artists producing "a string of eclectic, interesting, often lovely and nearly always not-very-profitable records". Opal Evenings were concerts performed by those artists including Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Harold Budd and Michael Brook. One of the records released by Opal, was "Between Tides", on 1st of January 1988, 35 years ago.
António Sérgio loved it and he often played the track "Field Of Gold". And sometimes "While The City Sleeps" followed by "Sunburst", the tracks 10 and 11.



Anyway, I love the whole album and "One Gull" is especially beautiful.


Back to this blog's last post and Roger Eno's last works, the new trio of EP's "Rarities" and his last album "The Turning Year", here's this precious "Clearly". Again his daughter Cecily Eno, this time dancing beautifully instead of singing.

Have a great Friday and have a beautiful weekend :)

Bells and The Turning Year

Roger Eno is not the kind of artist that most radio stations share. Quite the contrary, his music is played in only very few radio shows. In Portugal, I can remember that only António Sérgio played Roger Eno's records and then, I can only remember Ricardo Mariano during his monthly radio shows "Vidro Azul / Blue Glass" that we can listen to in these podcasts anytime. Some weeks ago, Ricardo played some of Roger's last works as shown in this blog, released by the legendary Deutsche Grammophon only months ago. The musical pieces are "Bells (with Voices)" sung by Roger's daughters Cecily Eno and Lotti Eno, "Bells" and "The Turning Year". These are pearls, enjoy with care.

Air is a French duo well known in this blog and that's why we're celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their 1st album, Moon Safari, released on 16 January 1998. Despite their work for many famous movies, they are still not well known worldwide. They remain a cult band.
Moon Safari was pretty ahead of its time and sounded new even a few years later. It starts as follows, with "La Femme d'Argent", "Sexy Boy", "All I Need", "Kelly Watch the Stars". Enjoy :)

Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in Tiny Desk

I guess this is the first time that Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood visit Tiny Desk. And only because of that I'm making this post. Amazing, anyway! What else could we expect from them? I've chosen "Skrting On the Surface" but there's also "Pana-vision" and "The Smoke" in this video.
