* Atenção que é uma visão muito pessoal de um gajo que passou muito concertos a curtir quando ninguém estava para lá virado e outros a secar com toda a gente a aplaudir.

(13º) Super Bock Super Rock 2007

I've just come back from the 3rd day of the festival. Tonight I left LCD Soundsystem after 4 songs, they weren't bad, not at all, a little bit repetitive maybe. But I'm really tired.

I really loved Magic Numbers yesterday and Maximo Park today. I think Maximo Park gave the best concert 'till now, really eclectic. Now the Magic Numbers were a really good surprise, a really good sound with just the right compositions and lyrics.
I didn't enjoy Klaxons or Bloc Party, the sound quality was below average and there wasn't much good vibes to their music. Some songs, better known, got a few movements and cheers but that was all.
The Portuguese bands of these 2 days have also provided excellent surprises. I knew only one: The Gift - try to listen to them online and they were also one of the best bands on stage.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah provided the worst surprise of today... Too weird a voice, sounded really like a rodeo announcing voice or something. Their presence on stage is bad too. I expected a lot from them...
Well I wish I stayed longer for LCD because their concert was being a good one 'till I left.

Tomorrow I'll listen to The Gossip, TV On the Radio, Scissor Sisters, Interpol and Underworld + 2 good Portuguese bands (Micro-audio waves and X-Wife). I'll let you know how it went :D

Tonight I saw 'Quei loro incontri? (2006)


This is one of the worst movies I've seen. It's unavoidable staring a comment on this movie like this. 1 hour, 8 minutes, 2 people, a rural/bucolic scenery and a conversation about gods, mortals and death. Change the scenery and the 2 people from time to time but keep the utterly boring conversation and you've got 'Quei loro incontri'.

The readers in the movie (yes, I don't consider them actors here) read out loud those fantastically boring lines of text with awful intonations, one exception was the male in the scene prior to the last which had quite a good intonation actually. His script was read almost conversationally, an extreme contrast to the other readers...

The only viewable scenes are a few camera movements about the lusciously bucolic sceneries and the fantastic, superb, ending music... Oh, how I loved those moments of blackness without the tedious conversations and with some bearable music.

Hooked on sadcore... "Now we rise and we are everywhere" Nick Drake lives forever.

Descobri o Nick Drake, ele já me tinha encontrado no Launchcast, mas agora fui eu que o fui buscar. De facto ele é Outunal nas músicas que canta. Tenho-lhe feito companhia com o amigo Jeff Buckley, é o que me tem mantido acordado de dia.

My blogging account has been recovered, I can flood you with my mental masturbation once more.

Thought of the night:
"Ouvir Nirvana dá-me vontade de andar ao bico!"
Pseudo-translation losing all sense: "Nirvana makes me feel like kicking a lot of ass!!"
