Misturar uma música muito boa e uma música muito má numa só.

Procura-se o responsável.

Murphy, Roisin. Lantejoulas. Poesia. If we’re in love we should make love. Aveludado. Unzip my body take my heart out. Classe. Saltos altos e guarda-roupa vintage. Cabelos ruivos, outrora louros. Jazz e R&B qb. E a voz.

Ainda nem estamos em Dezembro, mas os Who Made Who levam já para casa o prémio “best live gay kitsch we-do-play-guitars act”. Muito falsete, calças de lycra e bigodes anos 70.

Houve ainda um Jamie Lidell morno e aborrecido e o Jackson, que, com a banda no computador, fez cócegas dentro da cabeça de muito boa gente.

E porque muito se fala do trabalho dele com ela, não haverá melhor altura para listar as remisturas dele que têm passado pelo iPod. Especial destaque para as remisturas de Missy Elliot, Fischerspooner e Starsailor.

It’s hard, hard not to sit on your hands
And bury your head in the sand
Hard not to make other plans
and claim that you’ve done all you can, all along
And life must go on

It’s hard, hard to stand up for what’s right
And bring home the bacon each night
Hard not to break down and cry
When every idea that you’ve tried has been wrong
But you must carry on

It’s hard but you know it’s worth the fight
’cause you know you’ve got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Don’t be afraid of what they’ll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day

It’s hard, hard when you’re here all alone
And everyone else has gone home
Harder to know right from wrong
When all objectivity’s gone
And it’s gone
But you still carry on

’cause you, you are the only one left
And you’ve got to clean up this mess
You know you’ll end up like the rest
Bitter and twisted, unless
You stay strong and you carry on

It’s hard but you know it’s worth the fight
’cause you know you’ve got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
And don’t be afraid of what they’ll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day.

Eu não quero ler críticas ao concerto de Sigur Rós…

Such a little thing
Such a little thing
But the difference it made was grave
There you go
Wielding a bicycle chain
Oh, why won’t you change?
Change and be nicer?

Such a little thing
A gentle tone of kindness
Or written words on paper
Can you write?

How I love all of
The very simple things of life
God’s good air
How I love all of
The very simple things of life

Such a little thing
A fumbling politeness
The difference saved me
Wielding a bicycle chain
Why won’t you change?

(I will not change
And I will not be nice)

Most people keep their brains
Between their legs
Don’t you find?

Leave me alone, I was only singing
Leave me alone because, I was only singing
Leave me alone, I was only singing
Leave me alone
You have just proved again
Most people keep their brains
Between their legs

{ morrisey – such a little thing makes such a big difference }

Ó rapariga, isto é que é um hino:

endless tears
forever joy
to feel most every feeling
forever more
endless tears
forever joy
to feel most every feeling
forever more

and if I drown in this sea of devotion
just a stone left unturned
my need is deep
wide endless oceans
feel it furious
the fire burns on

let there be love
everlasting
and it will live eternally
will we receive without ever asking?
i’m just curious

don’t want to see me crying
just want to see me flying
i need to get so high and
want somebody to blow my mind
don’t want to see me crying
just want to see me flying
i need to get so high and
want don’t you blow my mind
blow my mind
blow my mind

got to find me somebody
but there’s nobody
to love me
anybody could love me

and it’s driving me crazy
there’s nobody to love me
anybody could love me

somebody to hold my hand
someone who understands
somebody to help me write
the poetry of life
someone to love me
someone who loves me
ooh baby

O novo single dos rapazes da Glásgua é das melhores coisas que este ano já nos deu.
