OH JESUS FUCKING H CHRIST ON A FUCKING BIKE WITH FUCKING POMPONS
Ok, so I admit, I've been... offline for a while. No blog, no music, no email, no msn, no nothing. After a full days work of "managing" people, the last thing I need is to hear human voices. Seriously. The idea of Cannibalism is sounding better by the day and, thanks to a friend that introduced me to Palahniuk's Haunted, I even know which bits to gnaw first.
Anyhoo... what obscure events from my overtly extended and useless range of geeky interests motivated this break in digital silence?
Call of duty: World at War sucks. Big time. Half an hour into the game and one level down the line, I was yawning already. It's not that the WWII setting is not fun, god knows I've spent lots of time with Wolfenstein enemy territory and the various installations of Medal of Honor, but the storyline on this one, seriously... it's simply not there. Granted, there is the zombie mode available after finishing the single player mode that might be interesting and it's the only thing that the game introduced, but enduring all this retro blandness for 5 hours (yup, it's that short) it's just too much.
Star Trek is back! After a very well accomplished teaser trailer with, you know, only images of Enterprise (everybody knows the bloody ship!) we now have the very first fully fledge trailer and boy, does it look good. Gabriel/Sylar from Heroes looks promising as Mr Spock, the one playing Kirk does look a bit too MTV-boy-toy and Eric Bana playing the villan, well, you can't really tell. Suffice it to say that I have him as my wallpaper at work. Nothing says "Fuck off!" quite like a bloke sporting face tats.
And now, the cherry on top of the cake. I've been a fan of The Blow for a couple of years now, right about the same amount of time I've waiting for a new album from them. Well, her actually, since it's a one woman show nowadays. The Blow used to be Khaela and Jona, but alas all good things come to an end and Jona decided to go his own way, dedicating himself full time to his own project YACHT. Now YACHT, considering the I believe you your magic is real album it's... crazy. It's frantic. Hectic. Abstract, but not too much. It's DIY on the go electronica straight out of a laptop. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well Jona, which is now a part of the DFA family by the way, is coming to town. Yup! On the 28th of November at ZBD and I'm so going to be there, with bells on and all.

A fan of the blow?! Mas isso há anos, babes!!! Ainda há alguém que nao o saiba?
Ora seja bem aparecido. Tive saudades suas, no geral, e da sua tendência linear e previsível para (tentar) antagonizar-me aqui, em particular.
YACHT é algo de fenomenal...
na próxima sexta, na Zé dos Bois lá estarão eles...e eu!
Afinfa-lhe, paxeco e bebe uma cervejinha por mim!!
Graven, o menino sabe que é tudo amor!
paxxxeco Será que passam o teste do live act? A ver vamos. Julgo que sim. Se o Jona mostrar metade da energia que mostra no vídeo Summer Song é folia garantida.
Estou extremamente curioso. O som do EP mais recente grita James Murphy. Influências da entrada na DFA e da tour com os LCD? Quer dizer, o início do Summer Song é quase idêntico ao Us V Them.
the time has come
the time has come
the time has come today
Será YACHT puro e duro ou YACHT com um cheirinho de LCD?
P.A. Eu sei... Estou "sensível".
Bebe umas jolas com o paxeco no zbd!
realmente Jona, depois de aceder à família DFA, começou a soar a um James Murphy mais anoréctico mas em reboliço hormonal...com qq de Alexis Taylor que não os óculos. Vamos esperar mais faixas sob o selo da DFA para ver como cresce e se desenvolve o rapazote! O Lp I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real,era mais Jamie Lidell e The Blow numa bela diversidade estilística. comparações à parte, Bechtolt é um talento com futuro, sem dúvida!
vamos lá ver qual é o estado de espírito do hombre na próxima sexta...e quem é que ele encarna
OK eu bebo uma cerveja por cada vez que Jona bater palminhas!
Com a máquina DFA a trabalhar para ele ninguém o pára, o que é óptimo pois tal como disseste talento não lhe falta.
Debaixo da alçada do James Murphy o seu estilo musical vai tornar-se um pouco mais... acessível. I Believe in You Your Magic is Real, por mais genial e inesperado que seja, não é de digestão fácil. Não chega ao nível dos Xiu Xiu (felizmente!) mas anda lá perto.
Eu cá (e o menino P.A. já devia saber isto) sou rapaz de Gin e não prometo beber um trago cada vez que o Jona bater palmas se não vou de maca para casa, mas prometo pular que nem um louco. ^_^
tens razão, I believe in You não é instantâneo nem o corpo reage imediatamente aos bleeps e bloops, mas à medida que lhe damos atenção vai achincalhando agradávelmente os lóbulos e só depois é que esse impulso passa para o sistema nervoso. Têm a sua dose de cerebral, de ingenuidade, e de diversão...por isso só posso desejar que Jona não se torne adulto tão cedo...mas já ganhou um papa bear...Mr Murphy!
realmente é melhor não ir na conversa das cervejas vs palminhas porque senão nem passo do primeiro refrão...vou mesmo ficar pelos cigarros e pelas chicletes!
os xiu xiu, que são uma das minhas bandas de eleição...nunca os vi ao vivo...ai ai Jamie Stewart!
Mas vocês sao homens ou ratos?!
Até a Amália tinha mais estaleca que vocês! Ou julgam que o "Palminhas, palminhas" era para k? E andava ali rija!!!!
Ai, Amália... quiz Deus que fosse o teu nome!!!
