Antony and the Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now

Continuando o capítulo de vozes masculinas impressionantes, deixo aqui este álbum de 2005, de teor bastante andrógino, não só no timbre vocal, como nas letras.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

There is not much one could say about Jeff Buckley or Grace that hasn't already been writen down or said. And since I don't think anyone can really can put this album into words, I'll just say this: Listen to it. It's the voice of one of the last true songwriters. I imagine that he will rise as some kind of Bob Dylan to this generation of ours (if he isn't that already...)

Johnny Cash - Hurt

I haven't really figured out how to contribute to this blog properly.

I've been wandering around different styles of music, but no artist is really that significant that i would definitely want to share with you all. One reason for this is that i enjoy listening to random music in last.fm while at work and not always i have the chance to see who's the musician behind it.

Anyway, i've came across this Johnny Cash 2003 video of a Nine Inch Nails cover, that really means a lot to me.

I apreciate when an individual is so aware of it's life that can admit it's own faults and feel in peace with himself. Even legends like Johnny Cash and Ray Charles are common men with common personal dilemas.

Just before the video, here is my last.fm homepage. Doesn't perfectly reflect my music taste yet (and some of the artists in my library weren't really chosen by me, don't know how they got there..), but it's cool to share with you. If you have a last.fm account, do join me in your network.

Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' Delves Into Life Of Former Hell-Raiser: VMA Lens Recap

Hurt (Nine Inch Nails song)

Linda Martini - Olhos de Mongol

Bem, estes meninos portugueses, comparados com os sonic youth, talvez não sejam já novidade, mas têm feito parte da 'soundtrack of my life' ultimamente, pelo que deixo aqui a sugestão. Se não quiserem arranjar o álbum, tentem ouvir no my space as músicas Cronófago, Raposo Manhoso (do álbum mais recente, Marsupial), ou a (versão de Fernando Tordo) Adeus Tristeza.

David Gilmour - Live In Gdansk

Live In Gdańsk is David's first solo live album and captures the magic of his concert held in front of 50,000 in the Gdańsk shipyards, the final performance of his critically acclaimed 2006 tour.

It also features the first-ever recording of selected Pink Floyd classics performed with an orchestra.

Fightstar - One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours

Fightstar are a four-piece post-hardcore band from London, England. Formed in late 2003, Fightstar have since recorded and released three full length LPs, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead, Grand Unification and One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours.

This band reminds me of Peecock (worldwide hit cult band of Faro) and if it´s musicians were actually good, this might have been a similar result.

Voyage 34 - Porcupine Tree

Conceptual album about the LSD trip from Porcupine Tree. And very different fom their other albuns. Specially the more recent ones.

In a Silent Way / Bitches Brew / A Tribute to Jack Johnson - Miles Davis

You can't really separate these three...







These were the moments when fusion began...

Anathema - Hindsight

This being my first contribution to the blog, I decided to start with the CD that has been playing constantly for the past two weeks.



Hindsight from Anathema, it showcases some of the best musics from their repertoire, rearranged into a more acoustic kind of thing. It's cool for the dude that never heard of them, and to the avid fan that sweats cold like a teenage ponytailed girl wenhever he sees one of the guys from the band. Good for the prog fan, I'd guess, as they swirl into a PinkFloydesque (it's the closest thing I'm thinking of now) atmosphere, among other things like a bit of Procupine Tree or Riverside. Or maybe I'm just full of shit, and you'll have to taste it for yourselves.

Lykke Li - Youth Novel

The closest i can remember is a slightly electronic Fiona Apple, considering "Until We Bleed".
