It´s Music To Your Ears

Because reading articles on Esquire magazine telling what new bands you should be listening to is way more fun than studying...

And I feel like you need Summer songs...



Found tonight. Good sound. And doesn´t the girl on the video have the prettiest smile? I say yes.

One of the nice ways to find out new stuff is subscribe to youtube channels of US radios like KCRW. Here´s why...



Oh, how many times I´ve listened to this one already...


Lots of new sounds to help me going through the studying part of the uni semester. Now the Euro 2012 won´t help much though...Força Portugal!!

Late night stories

4:35am right now. About an hour ago I was just relaxing and watching a NBA game between the Thunder and the Spurs (you will get the irony of this in a few moments...) after a day of classes under a 35ºC temperature and some beautiful blue skies followed by one of the most pleasant nights of the year so far and then BAM!!...one of the most unexpected, and quite scary, I must say, thunderstorms (got the irony?) I´ve ever witness happened!! One of the lightnings stroke really close judging by the quick and super intense thunder that followed it...
I´m used to the weather forecast to be wrong but how come between a 35ºC day and a 33ºC (tomorrow) appears such thunderstorm? Is this Portugal´s new way to get out of the financial crisis...being a tropical country? How about a warning before that happens? Would save some scary unexpected moments....geez!

About the NBA game...Oklahoma City Thunder won...

It´s Music To Your Ears

Easily one of my favourite tracks of 2012

On the last post there was a new single of someone I already know since her first album release, so here´s another one:



Tip: a nice way to get into her music is her performance on Live from Abbey Road...can´t get tired of that.
The new album is just coming out and by the preview I´ve listened too it is promising!

Old & New

Me and my sleep deprived mind found a new band and we declare this band fantastic (first things first) and most likely the most sexy one. A duo. The guy is: Johnny Depp. Well, not really but if you click play you´ll see my point. The girl...oozes a ridiculous amount of sexiness... Especially on this performance on Later with Jools Holland

The way she moves.....my sleep deprived mind can´t take this...

On yet more musical shenanigans, and knowing I said I shouldn´t post so many video but don´t giving a damn about that (oh, such a badass), do you remember this girl?

Lisa Mitchell, the girl of "Neopolitan Dreams" is about to release an EP and this is the first single.

I quite fancy her too.

So, there you go.

New sounds I just found and an old, yet very young, Aussie girl that I know for a long time, with new music.

Time to get some sleep.

And by some I mean 5 poor hours.

Maybe the sleep depriveness will make me found more new awesome music tomorrow.

EDIT: This is the kind of things that can happen when you have a sleep deprived mind...



My beloved office chair broke...with a bang. All fixed now ´cause ya know...I´m one of those guys that fixes everything and has a talent to fix all the broke things in a house [/not]

To appreciate, listen and watch

As a fan of photography I use to wonder the corners of the Internet where good photos can be seen, DeviantArt (DA) being one of the listed. Since I started going around DA and looking to the categories I was most interested in - nature, portraits, architecture/urbanism - I end up having a list of photographers I enjoyed more. Many of them decided to create Facebook fanpages so it would be easier to follow their work, now that Facebook has a nice photography layout, and it was there that I found a nice video that I´ve watched countless times already:

You can follow the work of the girl on the video here DeviantArt page and Facebook page . Her facial expressions are fantastic and so is her photography. And she´s kinda pretty...but you knew I would end up on that part of the DA portraits.

But even cooler on that video...

The song used is fantastic! The Joy Formidable - Whirring.

So, I´ve covered the appreciate (photography) part of this post and the listen part.

To the watch part we go.

Do you ever think on going discover the beautiful country that Iceland is...alone? That thought crossed my mind already...but this girl had that thought...and did it:

Fifteen minutes of your life more then well spent!

Have a good week.

It´s Music To Your Ears

Here it is the fantastic band I [kinda] mentioned on the last post and that I found on an episode of The Late Late Show.



Enjoy, because you will press replay and sing along on the third play of the song. Guarantee!

It´s Music To Your Ears

The first mind scratch of this post was a special edition with a compilation of videos (around 8 or 9...yup, I even made a list so I would not forget any of them) of new music I found for the last few weeks. Then I thought it would be a lot of videos in one post and some of them could not get the proper attention they should get, so I thought in embed 2 or 3 of them at a time.
But like the many of videos and new music I´ve found weren´t already enough, while watching an episode of the [awesome] Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson I found myself watching a superb performance of the band that played on the studio that night. They made me go back with the one video per post routine because it would be more appropriate since that band deserved full attention. And it will also mean that I have new music to post in this little corner of the blog.

Although, that band will not be the one posted this week (whaa? why?!). Meanwhile some Icelandic guys appeared.
While going around blogs and randomly pressing the next blog button so I could enlarge my list of cool blogs to read and while I was already about to give up, annoyed by those blogs who have the music starting and you don´t seem to find a button to turn it off (if they exist...), I came across a silent one...as all blogs should be. And the girl of that blog had a similar section to this It´s Music To Your Ears on her blog and I decided to click play on the video...which actually was just the YT playing bar without any image.

And look what I have found



Of Monsters and Men!

Absolutely fantastic.

Album coming soon...to my house!
