I came to listen to N*E*R*D cos' I saw the music video from Everyone Nose (All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom) in MTV and I really liked it.

I've never listened to any other of their stuff, so I was really suprised by their diversity of sounds. Take a song like Windows, for exemple, which backs to a 60's vibe at the same time it could be be sang by The Hives. The lyrics itself has a mixture between the old and the new: voyeurism through the window (which instanly reminds me of Hitchcock's…

And I probably will.

I wear Black on the outside
'Cause Black is how I feel on the inside

And if I seem a little strange
Well, that's because I am

I know I'm unloveable
You don't have to tell me
I don't have much in my life
But take it - it's yours

unloveable

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail

Sixteen, clumsy and shy
That's the story of my life

half a person

I want the one I can't have
And it's driving…

Listening is an act of surrender - Brian Eno

Há uma distância entre o artista e a público, um limite bem definido entre aquele que cria e aqueles que admiram. A obra, no entanto, pode ser palpável: ela é o meio pelo qual as duas partes se unem.
A exploração maciça da pessoa, e não de seu trabalho, torna cada vez mais difícil e rara a apreciação da obra artística. Somos uma geração que não chora ao ouvir uma bela canção; ao contrário, tamanho sentimento é, no mínimo, cafona.
No entanto, sobrevivem alguns que fazem da apreciação uma experiência e…

Lady Lazarus

I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it—-

A sort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
My right foot

A paperweight,
My face a featureless, fine
Jew linen.

Peel off the napkin
0 my enemy.
Do I terrify?—-

The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.

Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me

And I a smiling woman.
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.…

Tromatic Reflexxions - I just started to listen to Von Südenfed and oh my god, they are so good. It really makes me want to dance in a very weird way.

Volta- I'm not going to say much about "Volta" or Björk, just that I don't understand all these people who say things like "Antony sings bad". ARE YOU INSANE? The duos are beautiful and I'm really going to cry when I'll see them both together*(I hope so).
*(they didn't sung together, dammit)

Baby 81- They are the coolest and very, very underrated. "Baby 81" it's about…

Well, not exactly, but that's the name of this finnish electro-pop-synth-80's-like band I've been listening to for a few months now.

With influences such as jesus and mary chain, suicide and stereo total(whose concert I attended to in 2005- it was awesome), dark/fun lyrics (remember pop fan) and a provocative vocal, i was a teenage satan worshipper just makes me happy.

:D

A hundred plays of "Dom Andra" by Kent. I can't say that's my favorite track ever or the band I love the most. I don't know even why that's my top track… No, I know: I listened it so much looking at the lyrics, trying to understand the sounds of swedish.

Anyway, "Dom Andra"(The Others) is a great, catching song and it made me appreciate swedish music.

Dom Andra

We all know Tori Amos is amazing. She started playing piano at the age of 2, she's clever, a good singer, great writer, she take pics with Björk and PJ Harvey, she's friend of Neil Gaiman. And she's beautiful too!

But I must say, I've took a little to long to get into her, now I'm in love. Albuns such "Boys for Pele" and "Little Earthquakes" are already personal classics to me. But it's "Strange Little Girls" that blows my mind. I know, it's all covers, no problem about that.

"Strange Little Girls" is such interesting project. It's about she…

There's a difference between the music that changes you and that one that finds(defines) you.
After almost 2 years using Last.Fm, after almost 2 years listening to Elliott Smith every week, I've finally got a 1000 tracks from him played. It's hard to me write about him, about his music, even harder write it in english but I'm going to try, I must.
He had such strong face and such soft voice, I couldn't believe when I saw him for the first time. He's the only who can sound so angry and yet so sweet. He has beautiful melodies and…
