“The nurse who loved me” - A Perfect Circle

Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it
I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys
Say hello to the rug's topography

Peixe : Avião @ Feira do livro de Valença do Minho
Pouca gente a assistir, nem duas dezenas. A chuva e frio não ajudaram, é certo, mas senti-me um privilegiado. Sim, o privilégio de poder dizer que tive um concerto de peixe : avião quase só para mim.

"Young adult friction" - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Between the stacks in the library
Not like anyone stopped to see
We came they went, our bodies spent
Among the dust and the microfiche
Dark winters wear you down
Up again to see the dawn
In your worn sweatshirt
And your mothers old skirt
Its enough to turn my studies down
Now that you feel, you say its not real
I never thought i would come of age
Let alone on a moldy page
You put your back to the spines
And you said it was fine if theres nothing really left to say
You are taking toffee with your vicodin
Something sweet to forget about him
If you go your own way i will go my own way
And well never speak of it again
Don’t check me out

“Lessons learned” - Matt & Kim
Da da da-da-da-da, da da da
Da da da-da-da-da
(repeat)
Tape holds things that cannot stick
and keep leftovers in the fridge
while lessons learned go down the drain
I can't believe in everything
All the bad names gone
And the good ones were all wrong
And so I stayed up all night
Slept in all day
This is my sound
Thinking about tomorrow won't change how
I feel today
Da da da-da-da-da, da da da
Da da da-da-da-da
(repeat)
Never let your mark erase
'cause broken legs can be replaced
two steps to the finish line
three sips till I finish mine
a straw will always suck it out
close your eyes and use your mouth
And tell me about your song
And so I stayed up night
Slept in all day
This is my sound
Thinking about tomorrow won't change how
I feel today
Da da da-da-da-da, da da da
Da da da-da-da-da
(repeat)

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Este álbum já cá deveria estar há muito mais tempo, mas entre adiamentos e esquecimentos lá foi passando. Afinal de contas trata-se daquele que é considerado um dos melhores álbuns de 2008, não só pela critica especializada, mas também pessoalmente, pois foi do melhor que ouvi, e onde apenas encontro paralelo no “40.02” dos nossos peixe : avião.“Fleet Foxes” está revestido de músicas com instrumentais bastante intensos e coro de vozes harmoniosas, de tal forma que é capaz despertar sentimentos e sentidos. O encarte, com enfoque para o tipo de vida do meio rural durante a era medieval, traduz também ele de forma genial o significado que as músicas querem transmitir. É por isto, e acima de tudo, por ser uma lufada de ar fresco na música alternativa, que Fleet Foxes merece o lugar de destaque que possui actualmente.
Tracklist
01 - Red squirrel - Sun rises
02 - White winter hymnal
03 - Ragged wood
04 - Tiger mountain peasant song
05 - Quiet houses
06 - He doesn't know why
07 - Heard them stirring
08 - Your protector
09 - Meadowlark
10 - Blue ridge mountains
11 - Oliver james

“In the aeroplane over the sea” - Neutral Milk Hotel

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

"Comforting Sounds" - Mew
I don't feel alright
In spite of these comforting sounds
You make
I don't feel alright
Because you make promises
That you break
Into your house
Why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude
It's hard to make sense
Feels as if I'm sensing you
Through a lens
If someone else comes
I'll just sit here listening to the drums
Previously I never called it solitude
And probably you know
All the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it
Honestly
Back when we were kids
We would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are
Messing up
Nobody has gained or
Accomplished anything.

“All fires” - Swan Lake
You have a father
There is another
You have a sister
There are no brothers.
You have good friends
You have a lover
When friendships end
You will still love her
But it's Teresa they love the best.
There was a flood
A world of water
The mason's wife
Swam for her daughter.
One thousand people
Did what they could.
They found the steeple
And tore out the wood.
Five hundred pieces
Means five hundred float.
One thousand people means
Five hundred don't.
And it's Teresa they love the best.
I've said it before,
And I'll say it again.
All fires have to burn alive.
All fires have to burn alive.
From near his heart,
He took a rib.
All fires have to burn alive to live.
From near his heart,
He took a rib.
All fires have to burn alive to live.
So it's Teresa that I love the best.
Swan Lake

“Don't save us from the flames” - M83
Tina!
Tina!
Tina!
Tina!
Out of the flames
A piece of brain in my hair
The wheels are melting
A ghost is screaming your name
Tina!
Tina!
Bleeding all around
Liquid metal through my veins
The radio's burning
A ghost is screaming your name
Tina!
Tina!
Tina!
Tina!

“Nightly cares” - Múm
Para ouvir de olhos fechados, “Nightly cares”.
(Lalalalala...)

Skar, the fire son
Pet, the smiling one
Woo, the sleeping one
Rura, the crying one
Hú hviss (hú hviss), my little one

Rura, rura, sleeping one
Touch or feel, you blinding must
Soft the skin
Of the warmest rust
Cause nothing blows in the faraway
I go, go away
Past the hills, past the day
Touch or feel, you blinding must
Soft the skin
Of the warmest rust
Cause nothing blows in the faraway
I go away, go away
Past the hills, past the day

“The contractor and the assassin” - Logh
Oh, the demise of the empire!
Receded and dark its walls began to fall
The alliance, no one saw it die
The scene of the crime was not checked for evidence
Now it is all gone
The theory seems all too easy
You see, the thesis is said to be dead and so are you
Name the contractor and the assassin
Memorize the face and the plates and the prayer
Throw your oars overboard

“The rat” - The Walkmen
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know we've been through this before
Can't you hear me, I'm calling out your name?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
Can't you hear me, I'm bleeding on the wall?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
Can't you hear me when I'm calling out your name?
When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I'm sure we've been through this before
Can't you hear me, I'm beating on your wall?
Cant you see me, I'm pounding on your door?

Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover
Sunset Rubdown é uma banda de indie-rock originária de Montreal, Canadá. Spencer Krug, Camilla Wynn Ingr, Michael Doerksen, Jordan Robson-Cramer e Marc Nicol, formam os Sunset Rubdown.
Esta é uma banda claramente influenciada por uma outra, sua conterrânea, os Arcade Fire. As influências são por demais evidentes quando se ouve os dois álbuns de Sunset Rubdown. Até no detalhe de os integrantes da banda serem capazes de tocarem vários instrumentos alternadamente. Mas Sunset Rubdown tem muito mais por onde explorar. O facto do seu quase anonimato permite-lhes maior liberdade na busca de outras sonoridades e fazer algo de diferente, como seja “Random Spirit Lover”.
Músicas como “The mending of the gown”, “Up on your leopard, upon the end of your feral days”, “Winged/Wicked things” e “For the pier” são o testemunho de porque foi “Random Spirit Lover” um dos melhores de 2007.
- The mending of the gown
- Magic vs. midas
- Up on your leopard, upon the end of your feral days
- The courtesan has sung
- Winged/wicked things
- Colt stands up, grows horns
- Stallion
- For the pier (and dead shimmering)
- The taming of the hands that came back to life
- Setting vs. rising
- Trumpet, trumpet, toot! toot!
- Child-heart losers

Sigur Rós @ Campo Pequeno
Foi um Campo Pequeno bem composto e expectante que acolheu de forma eufórica o regresso dos Sigur Rós a Portugal.Ao inicio da noite, os também islandeses For a Minor Reflection levaram à descoberta do seu post-rock instrumental, e com ele foram convencendo uma plateia, certa de que os irá seguir com mais atenção daqui para a frente.
Uma mão cheia de músicas que oscilavam entre melodias calmas e explosivas serviram para aumentar a expectativa de um público que impacientemente aguardava os momentos que se haviam de seguir.
Já passava para lá da meia hora desde que os For a Minor Reflection tinham abandonado o palco quando a música ambiente que então se havia mantido se silenciara. Num momento as luzes se apagaram, e num palco quase às escuras, mas colorido de luzes a pretexto, surgem os primeiros acordes da arrepiante “Svefn-g-englar”. A viagem mágica havia então começado, e sem darmos por ela, nela fomos até onde nos levassem. Fomos levados até à liberdade de “Gobbledigook”, passamos pela alegria de “Hoppipolla”, pela melancolia de “All alright”, pela doçura de “Ný batterí” e “Saeglópur”, pelo sempre enigmático Untitled, e numa roda-viva de sentimentos assim voamos através do tempo. 


No fim, uns Sigur Rós eternamente agradecidos a um público completamente rendido e que efusivamente os aplaudia.
Nós é que agradecemos: Takk Sigur Rós!

“Young and old” - Gregor Samsa
How long, how long
Until I see you?
And when, and when does
The light come shining through?
Remember days when we were so young and
Remember days when we were so young and
We were so young and old

The Spinto Band - Moonwink
Depois do excelente “Nice and nicely done” os Spinto Band estão de volta aos álbuns. “Moonwink” é o sexto álbum desta banda norte-americana.The Spinto Band são Nick Krill (guitarra e vocais), Jon Eaton (guitarra), Joe Hobson (guitarra), Thomas Hughes (baixo), Sam Hughes (keyboard) e Jeff Hobson (bateria).
“Moonwink” é um bom álbum de indie-rock carregado de músicas alegres de inicio ao fim. Não é que dele faça parte alguma música candidata a melhor do ano, mas o álbum pode muito bem figurar em qualquer uma lista como um dos melhores dentro do seu género.
Não há momentos calmos. Desde que “Later on” começa, o ritmo vivo das músicas só tem o seu fim com o término de “The black flag”. É um álbum que requer mais que uma audição até que os ouvidos se habituem a ele – “Primeiro estranha-se. Depois entranha-se.”.
Destacam-se faixas como “Later on”, “Needlepoint”, “Pumpkins and paisley” e “Ain’t this the truth”. Sem duvida um álbum de audição obrigatória.
- Later on
- Vivian, don't
- Summer grof
- The Carnival
- Needlepoint
- The cat's pajamas
- They all laughed
- Pumpkins and paisley
- Ain't this the truth
- Alphabetical order
- The black flag
