A shoegazed sigh with asian eyes


Asobi Seksu is one of my little fetish bands that makes a little bit up for the Cocteau Twins not being active.

Take a listen at their playlist on Imeem.

I missed them performing in Berlin last Carnival for a single day :(

Nunca mais chega o Inverno...

... para se poder ouvir o "Night Falls Over Kortedala" do Jens Lekman à beira da lareira e sentir uma alegria nostálgica entrar pelos ouvidos, encher o corpo e deixar que as melodias solarengas nos façam esboçar um sorriso de saudade pelo calor deste Verão.

An oriental path to liking Klimt

I suspect that this awkward anime series is increasing my liking for Gustav Klimt paintings:


The reason: the nouvelle way of using 2D rich textures applied directly over the characters garments and in some cases skin. Another point of interest in this series, Gankutsuou: The Count of Montecristo, is the classical soundtrack and some of the neo-gothic settings.
