Don't Do It, a take two

This was my yesterday's song.
It was posted 1stly here
Sharon said to KEXP: "I definitely wrote it with people in mind. Suicide is obviously immediate. People that have mental health issues, that don't take care of themselves or don't know how to, or don't know how to reach out for help, and how helpless they are and how helpless you feel as a friend. ... Even though sometimes I get embarrassed of how, when you just look at lyrics on a page without the music, I'm like, 'if you want to do it, you want to do it, even if I don't want you to.' Like, alone looking at those lyrics, I get embarrassed. But a lot of it is the emotion behind it that makes it feel that much more tangible, and maybe elusive at the same time. It's still a complex thought, to be honest."

the Velveteers

Merry Christmas, take 2

MARO Mariana Forjaz Secca from Portugal and and Laufey Lín Jónsdóttir from Iceland, singing The Christmas Song, composed by Mel Tormé & Robert Wells on 1945.

Rosie Alena

Rosie Alena is almost unknown. Somehow she resembles Angel Olsen, one of Rosie's influences. Here's this breathtaking Adore Me.

Efterklang

the ultimate damage

The IDLES, live From The Basement, a few days ago.

boa noite

"Cantiga da Ponte" by the Sensible Soccers on 2021

kiss my feet

It's official, I'm addicted to MARO :)))

Here she is with her sister Matilde and her brother Manuel. They also sing SO well!
This is a very peculiar and beautiful song totally transformed by Maro.
Here's the original, by Laura Mvula, recorded five years ago. Amazing!

special stuff for this special day 22 3 3

... I'm alright, I'm alright ...

"crawl" from IDLES

Have a safe weekend. Take care.

strong feelings

dry cleaning, 2021

watching strangers smile

Such a great song from the Parquet Courts

the damage and the purge

The damage. "The Beachland Ballroom" by the IDLES. One of the best songs of this year.
And the purge.
"Crawler" is an innovative masterpiece and the new album of this British-Irish punk band. Punk is an attitude, more than everything.

"This is chapter one of a new book", says Joe Talbot. And we're ardently wishing for the next chapters.
Cheryl Waters is just amazed here and it's our privilege to watch this performance.
Have a great weekend :)

once twice melody

It's been a while since our last post with Beach House.
It looks like they've finally made some very good songs again.
Below, "Once Twice Melody", "Superstar", "Pink Funeral" and "Through Me". Pay special attention to the 1st and to the 3rd songs.
From the forthcoming album "Once Twice Melody" to be released next February 18, 2022.

the dancing pearl

From Berlin, the Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis, singing and playing "La Perla".

jo~ao, João Neves

Stepped by this artist due to a video suggested by Youtube yesterday. It was about a television singing competition. But the cover of Anohni's "Hope There's Someone" won my attention and ... my goodness, it was just marvelous. And I hope someday a good video is available to show you all how sublime that rendition is. By now, only the "cheesy reality show" version is available.
So I searched about this guy. And I tell you, it was not easy to find him!
However, he has a couple of original songs edited this very year. Here's one of them. Enjoy :)

So this is how Dave plays Smells

La vie parfois

Salomé Leclerc from Quebec, new song from her forthcoming album out next October 8.
