don't worry be happy

To start of with... a happy go lucky tune ( /me is feeling hopeful)

The Devastator - Stormy

Lack of inspiration, enthusiasm, patients and tiredness are among the reasons why one doesn't bother to sit at the laptop and type something interesting. It's a lot easier to copy and paste a code of what one's been listening to, watching, reading and it seems like once again it'll happen. But this time... a brief update. Have watched a couple of good and really good films, listened to some excellent music (which actually keeps the day going), been reading some interesting stuff (mostly true stories) and have engaged in some long ago hobbies. And cause this is probably the weirdest thing ever written it'll end with a list...

...

and yet another pasted code of a beautifully composed commercial video (IMHO of course)


In Bruges
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Üç maymun (Three Monkeys)
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career
Bonnie “Prince” Billy - Beware
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It’s Blitz
Neko Case - Middle Cyclone
Dan Deacon - bromst
Tom Rush - What I Know
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Been painting... from walls to wood to metal (in the near future)

As for the true stories...that’s personal, indescribable or maybe just completely untrue

Skinny Love

Skinny Love - Bon Iver


Seldom does a music come along that I am willing to play over and over again without minding one bit. This particular one grew on me and has become a very top favourite. Enjoy

Friday the 13th

It went something like figure Nº1 and there was still time for Nº2

To add of course... the encores:

Encore 1
No man in the world
Her
My sister

Encore 2
Tiny Tears

It was just great. No words really... fullhouse, happy an joy for some and a lot of sadness for others but most will agree that the concert was a must. Easy to see Tindersticks have been around for a while now and that the fans (at least the portuguese ones) remain faithful...the aveage age group rounding the well over thirties.

P.S. Hope this relieves those most eager ;)

Date 28-10-2001 - Time 23:22

Coliseu de Lisboa
accompanied by a 15 member chord orchestra
the best EVER

I am Europe - Stuart Staples

In Brugge, just before going on stage, December 14th 2008, Stuart had a few moments for this quick interview.

"And as Staples sits back with a cigarette, it’s assurance, rather than relief, that lingers in the afternoon sun."

For sure

we'll have this one...
and I will be ever so greatful for it :)

Her - Tindersticks

smiling already

Foreseeing tomorrow

It'll probably be along the lines of...

Introduction
Yesterdays tomorrow’s
The flicker
Feel the sun
E-Type
Other side of the world
The organist entertains
Dyin’ slowly
City sickness
Say goodbye to the city
Sleepy song
She’s gone
Hungry saw
Mother dear
Boobar
All the love
The turns we took

Encore...

No man in the world, Her, & My Sister

or

Tiny Tears, Her, & My sister

Lily Allen at her best

Fuck You - Lily Allen

Stranglers - Aula Magna

Playing today, in Lisbon

Start of the day

in a hopefully good mood

Theme from Hollywood - Megapuss

I fell in love with a dead boy

I Fell in Love With a Dead Boy - Antony and the Johnsons

with goose bumps i leave... for another night in

2008 / 2009

2008 is over and five days into the new year seems like a great time to post some thoughts. Although "five days" may hint a certain lack of enthusiasm or laziness in posting, I assure you not... A Christmas spent abroad and a house-hunting end of year left little time to post.

The end of the year is a time where an astonishing number of individuals succumb to listography and post endless lists of "favorites". Having ended a somewhat roller coaster type year with many changes on all levels any sort of "favorite" list will amount to nothing but a ton of contradictions and miss-matches resulting in a total mess. Therefore, a short list of looking forward to: "read", "watch" and "do" in the next few months of the New Year makes a lot more sense (in no particular order and not in any way a type of New Year Resolution).









- pin mark all important locations on Google maps account
- backup the long list of films on the hard drive to DVDs
- upload all photos to a location for only photos
- backup old home movies on VHS's to DVD's
- move house
- take up painting again
- spend a lot more time in the Sea
- travel to Norway, Thailand or even Japan

quoting Tindersticks

In his last LP, out November 3rd 2008 "Quinze Chansons", Vincent Delerm quotes Tindersticks.

In "Je pense à toi" a posh, frenchy "Tindersticks" can be heard.

...Ou bien on va au bord de l'eau
Je pense à toi
Ou bien on dort dans un bureau
Ça ressemble à quoi
D'accoupler dans un sac plastique
Peter Falk et les Tindersticks...

go figure...
