Deer Tick - Baltimore Blues no. 1

Banda indie americana de Providence, mistura folk, blues e country. O nome, que quer dizer carraça, tem origem numa vez que o futuro vocalista dos Deer Tick John McCauley (o tipo dos óculos cheios de estilo), andava a fazer uma mega caminhada com outro bacano, que por acaso tb tem uma banda, os Viking Moses, e então o McCauley encontrou uma carraça na cabeça. Vai dai, e como uma coisa leva à outra, decidiu dar esse nome à banda.. Faz quase sentido, acho eu.

The Dodos

The Dodos began playing music together in 2005, when musician Meric Long, who had been gigging steadily in San Francisco as a solo singer-songwriter, was introduced to Logan Kroeber through a mutual friend (a college acquaintance of Long's that happened to be Kroeber's cousin).

Um cheirinho a férias

As férias estão aí! O Verão já chegou, tímido e pouco caliente! Já deu para fazer umas boas manhãs de praia o que só abriu o apetite para o já merecido descanso! Eu só tenho férias em Agosto por isso vou partilhar com vocês que: SÓ JÁ FALTAM 11 DIAS PARA ESTAR OFICIALMENTE DE FÉRIAS!



Sobre os Fool’s Gold tenho a dizer que são uma banda de Los Angeles que juntam música pop ocidental com ritmos africanos. Tem como vocalista e baixista Luke Top e Lewis Pesacov na guitarra. Dá vontade de levantar e dar um pezinho de dança ou ficar só sentado a abanar a cabeça e tentar acertar no ritmo :D

Tenho ainda a dizer que Fool’s Gold é um filme daqueles...bem, daqueles que dão nome à silly season e como tal, perfeitamente pertinente neste post com cheirinho a férias :D

IOSONOUNCANE

Hoje esqueci-me do meu adorado disco externo em casa...o que se traduz em PÂNICO E HORROR!!!! O que é que vou ouvir hoje todo o dia? Eu até gosto da Radar (que como já referi antes, é a sintonia que se ouve aqui todo o santo dia), mas não consigo estar concentradissima a fazer o que quer que seja sem a minha querida pasta de música, fruto de anos e anos de investigação e que se foi apurando com o passar do tempo e dos meus gostos pessoais. Vai daí que há uns tempos o Telminho me enviou este link: http://www.stereomood.com. Aconselho vivamente tem uma forma interessante de funcionamento, é fácil e intuitivo de usar e umas mega listas de música que podemos ir filtrando à medida que o vamos ouvindo.

Óptima forma de conhecer novos sons e voltar a ouvir clássicos intemporais. Hoje, não sei bem porquê, ouvi muita música italiana. Pouco ou nada conheço de música italiana mas esta ficou e agradou. O jovem parece alucinado e canta como se o mundo fosse acabar e não tivesse tempo para dizer tudo :D

Não encontrei muita informação sobre ele, por isso se alguém souber de mais info, partilhe sff.

Portugal. The Man

The band's name is based on the idea of David Bowie's "bigger than life" fame. They wanted the band to have a bigger than life feel but didn't want to name it after one of their members.

"A country is a group of people," guitar player and vocalist John Gourley explains. "With Portugal, it just ended up being the first country that came to mind. The band's name is 'Portugal'. The period is stating that, and 'The Man' states that it's just one person." The name has more personal meaning as well: Portugal. The Man was going to be the name of a book that Gourley had planned to write about his father and his many adventures.

Tell me about the origin of the name, Portugal. The Man?
It’s hard to explain, but it made perfect sense at the time. Over the 5 years that we’ve had the band name it’s just kind of gotten lost, but the idea was that we wanted to back somebody up. I guess in choosing Portugal, it was just kind of a random choice. We really wanted a country to be the name of our person because a country is a group of people. The man just states that Portugal is a person. So really Portugal is the band’s name and the man is just stating that he is the man.

Gorillaz

Gosto, gosto muito! Gosto da música, das personagens, dos cenários, dos videoclips... enfim tudo!

Gorillaz is a British musical project created in 1998 by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. This project consists of the Gorillaz music itself and an extensive fictional universe depicting a "virtual band" of cartoon characters. This band is composed of four animated members: 2D (lead vocalist, keyboard, and melodica), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar and drum machine), Noodle (guitar, keyboard, and occasional vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Their fictional universe is explored through the band's website and music videos, as well as a number of other media, such as short cartoons. The music is a collaboration between various musicians, Albarn being the only permanent musical contributor. Their style is a composition of multiple musical genres, with a large number of influences including: dub, hip hop, alternative rock, electronic and pop music.

The band's 2001 debut album Gorillaz sold over seven million copies and earned them an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Successful Virtual Band. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize 2001, but the nomination was later withdrawn at the band's request. Their second studio album, Demon Days, released in 2005, went five times platinum in the UK, double platinum in the United States,earned five Grammy Award nominations for 2006 and won one of them in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category. Gorillaz have also released two B-sides compilations and a remix album. The combined sales of Gorillaz and Demon Days had, by 2007, exceeded 20 million albums. The band's third studio album, Plastic Beach, was released in March 2010. Their latest album, The Fall, was released in December 2010 as a free download for sub-division members, then in April 2011 as a physical release.
