man in catharsis


Minutes are losses to lived stories. Instants are not enough to lick the wounds.
And time comes after me. Bring of me. And time comes after you. Bring of you. And time comes after us. Bring of us.


A port, when it's cheerful, is the right place to dock. And we want to stay, And... we want to stay.
A port, when it's cheerful, is the right place even far from the sea. And we want to stay!

I can't give everything away


"I Can't Give Everything Away", is the last track of "Blackstar", the last studio album of David Bowie, released on 8 January 2016, Bowie's 69th birthday. Bowie died 2 days later, 10 years and 49 days ago.
Maybe Bowie is telling us that he cannot tell anyone everything about himself. We'll never know...


Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails made a remix called Farewell Mix, which he performs live singing along with Bowie's vocals recording.
The following song selected for this post is The Lovers.

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take III

3rd and last post about the presentation of Wolf Alice's new album, Blue Weekend.
Wolf Alice's songs have this quality of getting more powerful from the middle to the end and Lipstick On The Glass is a great example of that.

And as usual, let's remember some of Wolf Alice's older songs. But this time, here's a live show recorded this year including songs from all their 3 albums. Notice that their older songs were more punky than now, mostly dream pop.
The songs are: Don't Delete The Kisses (Visions of a Life - 2017), Smile (Blue Weekend - 2021), Beautifully Unconventional (Visions of a Life - 2017), Formidable Cool (Visions of a Life - 2017), Bros (My Love Is Cool - 2015), The Last Man on Earth (Blue Weekend - 2021), Giant Peach (My Love Is Cool - 2015).

Enjoy, have a nice weekend :)

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take II

Another amazing song from Blue Weekend, Wolf Alice's new album.
This one, The Last Man On Earth, is pretty known by some of us once it was published as a single and it's been played on many radio stations since February

And as promised on the last post, let's remember some of Wolf Alice's great older songs.
I can't help myself, I LOVE this next song. Sorry, I posted this video long before but it is the ONLY good video with this fantastic Planet Hunter.
And another, Giant Peach, from their 1st album My Love Is Cool.

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take I

What a great band, superb musicians, amazing singer, Ellie Rowsell - she's gonna be 29 on day 19.
Just yesterday, Wolf Alice presented us this video with this amazing song Feeling Myself from their last album Blue Weekend out since last 4th of June.
Wolf Alice is a fantastic band and I bet it's gonna be one of the great big things during this decade. Anyway I'm suspicious not only because I LOVE unconditionally some of their songs and I love their good taste. No wonder, because they also love my beloved city of Lisbon, even if I don't enjoy their song named precisely Lisbon :))) And guess what, they do feel very sorry about Brexit and about getting off of the European Community, as most of British artists do :(
So let's start this presentation about Wolf Alice's last album with 3 posts with new and older songs.
Enjoy :)

Birthday in lockdown


When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
And there ain't a single another soul around
I wanna dig into my guitar bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything

drunk tank pink

... is the new album from the South Londoner punk/post-punk band Shame, out 2 weeks ago.
I might be wrong but it seems that this is gonna be a very serious name from their next album. They're great musicians, great artists. And their songs are becoming more complex as we can notice on Snow Day and Born in Luton:


Let's also remember some of their great songs from the last and 1st album:

put your ladder down


Cirrus caress you. Cumulus kiss you. Raindrops of crystal. Whisper "we'll miss you". But go. Let go.

surreal dates




When writing the song, the Alt-J threesome imagined what historical figure they would go on a date with. We know that Joe Newman chose Lee Miller and Gus Unger-Hamilton went for Anne Boleyn. However drummer Thom Green's choice of the poet Sylvia Plath didn't make it into the lyrics.
