Foi a terceira vez que vi Jay-Jay Johanson ao vivo, desta vez na belíssima sala do Theatro Circo, em jeito de celebração dos 20 anos do primeiro álbum Whiskey. Foi um fantástico concerto! com direito a momentos mais animados e mais comoventes, a recordações e novas músicas - com direito até a um olá e autógrafo no final, obrigada Jay-Jay!

Assim, a playlist de hoje é diferente do habitual, com 20 músicas dedicadas ao sueco de sorriso doce, relembrando algumas das favoritas de cada um dos 11 álbuns desde aquele primeiro que me deixou intrigada com aquela espécie de sonoridade meia electrónica de inspiração vintage, que tanto tem mudado e evoluído desde então. Para quem já é fã e para quem ainda não conhece, será a companhia perfeita.

It was the third time I saw Jay-Jay Johanson live, this time in the beautiful Theatro Circo, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first Whiskey album. It was a fantastic concert! entitled to more lively and moving moments, to memories and new songs - entitled even to a hello and autograph in the end, thank you Jay-Jay!

So today's playlist is different from the usual, with 20 songs dedicated to the Swedish of the sweet smile, recollecting some favorites from each of the 11 albums since the first one that puzzled me with that kind of vintage-inspired electronic sound that has changed and evolved ever since. For those who are already a fan and for those who don't know him yet, it will be the perfect company.

E terminou mais uma edição de Primavera Sound no Porto! Fui este ano pela primeira vez e fiquei com a sensação de que para para qualquer fã deste tipo de música o melhor mesmo é comprar o bilhete no início do ano e esperar ser surpreendido - pelos nomes mais conhecidos do cartaz e também pelas novidades que por lá se encontram em tantas horas de bons concertos. 

A idade já não perdoa, por isso tenho noção de que não consegui aproveitar ao máximo tudo o que o festival tem para oferecer, mas mesmo assim foi óptimo poder combinar momentos de sol de toalha sobre a relva ao som de boa música, com concertos em que a vontade de estar presente me levou até mais perto do palco. Antony & The Johnsons e Damien Rice foram os nomes que me convenceram a comprar o bilhete, mas ia também com muita vontade de ver Interpol, Belle & Sebastian, Caribou ou Jungle, por exemplo.
Embora o ruído de fundo tenha prejudicado um momento quase sagrado que exigia o silêncio total, Antony protagonizou, sem dúvida, um dos concertos mais belos do festival. E Damien Rice conseguiu, sozinho, encher o palco, numa das actuações que foi, para mim, das mais emotivas de sempre. Só por isto já teria valido a pena, mas o Primavera Sound foi muito, muito mais - provavelmente um pouco diferente para cada um dos que lá estiveram!

Deixo-vos com uma playlist que reúne alguns dos sons que por lá passaram - é só clicar na imagem ou no link a seguir à lista de músicas, aproveitem!

And it's over another edition of Primavera Sound music festival in Porto! This was my first time and I got the feeling that for any fan of this kind of music you can simply buy the ticket at the beginning of the year and expect to be surprised - by the best known names of the line up and also by the new ones that fill in so many hours of great concerts.

Age doesn't forgive, so I'm aware that I couldn't take full advantage of everything the festival has to offer, but even so it was great to combine sunny moments with my towel on the grass at the sound of good music, with concerts that took me much closer to the stage. Antony & The Johnsons and Damien Rice were the names that convinced me to buy the ticket, but I was also eager to see Interpol, Belle & Sebastian, Caribou or Jungle, for example.
Although the background noise has damaged a bit a moment that should be almost sacred and of total silence, Antony undoubtedly starred one of the most beautiful concerts of the festival. And Damien Rice managed to, alone, fill the stage in one of the most emotional performances ever for me. Just for this it would have been worth it, but Primavera Sound was much, much more - probably a little different for each of the presents!

I leave you with a playlist that brings together some of the sounds of the festival - just click on the image or the link below the song list and enjoy!

listening out loud // Terrible Love

Tuesday, 11 March 2014



O amor não se vê como
se fosse uma presença.
É demasiado completo
para ter uma forma. E como jamais
se conseguiram obter juros de uma coisa
que não ocupa espaço, é preferível não,
parece-me.

Gonçalo M. Tavares, Uma Viagem à Índia, Canto III, 141, página 164

PT
A não ouvir depois de uma separação amorosa.
Ou a ouvir se for mesmo necessário desabafar com uma lágrima ao canto do olho.
Ou se uma certa melancolia masoquista se apoderar de nós.
Ou se simplesmente se apreciam coisas belas pela sua terrível beleza.

EN
Not to listen after a romantic breakup. 
Or to listen if it's really necessary to unburden with a tear in the corner of the eye. 
Or if a certain masochistic melancholy seize us. 
Or if you simply appreciate beautiful things for its terrible beauty.

Adoro uma boa versão. Geralmente, para ser boa, deve distinguir-se bem do original e, na maior parte das vezes, valer por ela própria. Gosto de ouvir intérpretes que nunca imaginaria a cantar determinada música, tão diferente do seu estilo original, a pegar nela e transformá-la em algo surpreendente. Logo percebi que dificilmente conseguiria ter apenas uma compilação de versões - porque há tantas e tão boas! Esta será, provavelmente, a primeira de muitas... espero que gostem.

E já agora, boa Páscoa para todos!
_

I love a good cover. Usually, to be good, it must be very different from the original, and most of the times, to be worth by itself. I like to find interpreters that I'd never imagined to hear singing a certain song, so different from their original style, to take it and transform it into something suprising. I soon realized I hardly could have only one playlist with covers - because there are so many and so good! This will probably be the first of many... I hope you enjoy it.

And by the way, happy Easter everyone!
