Hope...

... is always the last to die and the only one that keeps us alive, even when it doesn't bring the answers we so long desired...

Today Badly Drawn Boy is playing in Fundão, yet another fantastic concert I'm going to miss, I've only been able to see him once, introduced as a favourite of Beck (the man is a genious and on top of all has a fantastic taste), he played before Beck's concert in a summer festival 3 years ago and actually played with Beck one song... It's one of those concerts of a band/musician that we hardly know but after we see them/him/her perform we are totally stunned, just like in the same festival with Belle & Sebastian... How I love concerts and summer festivals, if only all of them had only fantastic concerts the whole time, because Him and many more disgraces I had to hear (unfortunately going as far as possible of the stage doesn't avoid the torture of hearing some bands playing)...

By the way here goes a topic of discussion I heard the other day between 2 teenagers (boys of course, as the girls that were with them seemed completely bored, although I was finding the discussion rather amusing): does love metal exist?

YES, otherwise Him would not exist, as Him exists there is love metal

NO, metal can never be love metal, there is no such thing as love metal or it is love metal or it isn't

For me the question is since when Him do music? How can anybody sane enough call that crap music, it's pure torture, the devil in person trying as hard as possible to torture our poor ears ;) So you may rest, all you metal dudes, there is no such thing as metal love, as what Him do is no more metal than it is music!
