Lazy Sunday afternoon, blue sky and red wine

Songs of 2014 - top 5 most played

Every little cover he does is magic

Thank you, Dulli, for putting some music on my weekend

News from Mr. Dulli

First I had a new EP and the announcement of Paul Thomas Saunders first full album. Now Afghan Whigs are promising one too, after 16 years... and maybe something more than "Invisible" from u2. The musical prospect for 2014 is good. 

The last 12 months according to last.fm

Birthday Boy #3

Just 3 of many reasons why May is the best month of the year... 

Top 5 on Friday - the best of 2012 (part 1)

This is totally personal, I don't pretend to understand about music. It's just a piece of my life last year.

Songs

1.(it's the last post for this song, I promise)


2. (for this one too, but it only proves my point)


3. (also a replay)

Concerts

Mark Lanegan Band - I had a dream about this concert and decided to go on the last minute. The best decision I've ever made. Something has changed inside me since then.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Also magical. When he played "Don't look back in anger" it was cathartic. I had never saw so many men holding beers and singing out loud like that. It felt a little bit like London, I guess.  

Lou Donaldson - There's nothing like a great jazz concert for free. And he's pure charisma!

Strobo - Some bands only show how good they really are on stage and this is one of them. They have a good record but live it's something else. Already a fan.

Ian McCulloch - The most "I-do-what-I-want" concert I have ever been. He talked a lot and laughed and asked what songs we wanted to hear and denied most of the asks... it was fun.

2012 favorite cover versions

I know, the last one is from last year.. but it'll be on the movies next year too thanks to "The Great Gatsby, so just leave it, ok? :)

Top 5 on Friday

Top 5 songs you are thankful to have discovered this year

"Thankful" is a strong word. I'm having some happy surprises and trying "new" bands along this year but I can say I'm particularly happy about discovering The Afghan Whigs. I admit I didn't really know about them until recently. 

I even resisted them for a while because I've been a die-hard fan of Greg Dulli and The Twilight Singers for a couple of years and this AW reunion came right after my favorite TS album, which tour I will never see... 

I know everything is backwards here (isn't it always?) but c'est la vie

So I tried it, I liked it and these are the AW's songs I'm happy to have discovered this year:

1.

(can someone explain why they're not playing this fantastic song on this tour?)
(oh, and by far, the best video of them)

Afghan Whigs live in Tel Aviv - 06/16/2012 (entire concert)

  The Afghan Whigs live in Tel Aviv (entire show), 06/16/2012 by Yovav (Jay) meydad

a few thoughts

1. Teaching at nights can suck life out of you.

2. I still don't feel like listening Lana Del Ray Rey. Somehow I've been managing to pass through without listen to one single of her songs. Nobody on my everyday life seems to know who she is either. 

3. Don't understand Tumblr very well. Not soo interactive as I thought, still funnier than Facebook. I know, they are different things blah blah blah... Facebook sucks. Or maybe people on FB suck, haven't decided yet.

4. Can't stop listening "Lovecrimes". I gotta make a Top 5 "favorite cover versions" or "covers better than originals"... it will be #2, definitely.

Where I wanted to be on my birthday

For the love of God, Dulli, come to Brasil already!!!
You too, Rosser! Fuck, I'm dying for the chance...

Top 5 on Friday

Top 5 concerts you wish you could attend this summer

1. The Afghan Whigs - I wish I have seen them in Barcelona or Porto...

2. Veto - I will someday, and I'm pretty sure it will be amazing!

3. Norah Jones - I loved the first time I saw her in concert and it would be lovely to hear the last record live.

4. Fiona Apple - I'm very curious about the new record

5. Pearl Jam - I even planned going to Scandinavia to see them this summer but it didn't happen :(

Who's up for some free music?

Here on the sidebar you will find the banner for The Afghan Whigs brand new song, released yesterday. And it's for free. 
So don't waste time, download it now!
