Sometimes I rediscover lost albuns and this time was one of that rediscovers. Two years ago I used to ear a lot a single (Moving On) of a Portuguese band, from coimbra, they named them selfs Sean Riley and The Slowriders. Their debut album comes to market in 2007, album that was made by Sean Riley - Voice, Guitar, Harmonica, Organ; Bruno Simões -Bass, Guitar, Melodica, Stylophone, Theremin; Filipe Costa - Organ, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Harmonic; Filipe Rocha - Drums, Upright Bass, Glockenspiel.
This *pack* of 4 musicians release a new album this year, named Only Time Will Tell. Thanks to the guy from Fátima that post the albums on the forum :)
And no, i'm not listen Kanye West. I found a cover from White Lies over a Kanye West music. Really great cover, here goes the lyrics:
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to What I had to do, had to run from you I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong And that haunted me all the way home
So you never know, never never know Never know enough, 'til it's over, love 'Til we lose control, system overload Screamin', "No, no, no, n-no!?
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to See I wanna move but can't escape from you So I keep it low, keep a secret code So everybody else don't have to know
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, you lose
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true I got somethin' to lose, so I gotta move I can't keep myself and still keep you too
So I keep in mind when I'm on my own Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone How many times did I tell ya ?for it finally got through? You lose, you lose
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to See I had to go, see I had to move No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life We're just racin? time, where's the finish line?
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, you lose
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to I bet no one knew, I got no one new Know I said I'm through, but got love for you But I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin', keep the lovin' goin' Keep it on a roll, only God knows If I be with you, baby I'm confused You choose, you choose
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to Where I wanna go, I don't need you I've been down this road, too many times before I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, your love locked down I keep your love locked down, you lose You lose, you lose, you lose, you lose

Well I discovered this band between the much albuns reviews that I read on blogs. A band from Atlanta with the led of Chris Cummings (Kathy Fly)and more four Atlanta guys Sean Lay (Cold/Grundig, Eden, Euphobia), Stephen Brink (Crave, Kathy Fly, Eden), Chris Lynn (Crave, Royal 7, Girl Parts, Libras). They release a album, named Look At The Fish and been on tour since then. I listen over and over the album (yes on loop!!!) and is one of the best albuns that I hear this year. They just mix a bunch of music styles, it goes from rock, psychedelic-rock, part grunge, part acoustic and the result is a really good album.
You can listen some of their songs at the myspace of the band and check the news/tour/photos at the website band.
Ridley Scott is going to produce a prequel for que saga "Aliens"! When I read this I just smile (god damn at last a nice thing to read this bad week!!). So I googled it and find a lot of links/news about it but I find this one that explain maybe why they doing a prequel and not another "Aliens":
20th Century Fox head Tom Rothman revealed to IESB that there is “some talk” of an Alien “prequel” to go along with the recently announced Robert Rodriguez-produced Predator reboot Predators. Rothman confirms that director Ridley Scott is “toying around with the idea.” And the Fox head gives the impression that another Alien movie, be it sequel, prequel or reboot, would only happen with Scott’s involvement.
I remember reading an interview with Scott where the filmmaker expressed interest in making a prequel that would explore the origins of the space jockey and the Aliens. At one point James Cameron was working on an origin story for a fifth Alien film, but abandoned the development when Aliens vs. Predator was announced. Sigourney Weaver has publicly expressed interest in doing a sequel, but it wouldn’t make sense to include her character in an origin story. But who knows, maybe Ridley is “toying” with some kind of reboot/prequel combo.
and then, today, I just get the confirmation..
Ridley Scott Confirmed to Direct Alien Prequel
After months of rumor and speculation, Variety confirms that 20th Century Fox plans to keep the "Alien" franchise alive with a prequel film that will be directed by original helmer Ridley Scott.
The announcement that Fox has hired a writer comes just two months after the 30th Anniversary of Scott's original sci-fi horror film which launched a series of movie sequels, a number of comic books, and two movies that pit the Aliens against Fox's other creature franchise, the Predator.
Screenwriter Jon Spaihts has been hired to write the prequel after the studio was impressed by his work on two space thrillers, both for Keanu Reeves, called Passengers and Shadow 19.
Don't find anything really important about the band. I read about them on a national magazine about music (blitz). So I find a referal notice from Adolfo Luxuria Canibal (mitic vocalist from Mao Morta).
"Aqueles com memória mais curta serão tentados a ouvir em peixe : avião ecos de Radiohead e eles estão lá, efectivamente, mas enquanto herança de uma linhagem muito mais antiga, com genealogia nos pergaminhos de Canterbury e no rock progressivo dos primeiros Pink Floyd de Syd Barrett e dos Van Der Graaf Generator de Peter Hammill, passando pelo krautrock dos Faust ou dos Neu!. Mas se a estirpe é identificável, o que faz a singularidade de peixe : avião é a portugalidade que irradia, como se de repente tudo o que nos habituamos a associar à alma portuguesa, a melancolia dos seus poetas, o singelo das pequenas coisas, se cristalizasse em sons e palavras. Esqueçam o fado como Amália o popularizou e é macaqueado de Portugal ao Japão: o novo fado do século XXI é peixe : avião!
Nada disto faz sentido, decerto, numa lógica estritamente científica ou numa abordagem puramente musicológica e, no entanto… faz todo o sentido!!! peixe : avião é um milagre! É um milagre na sua génese, na maneira como cinco desconhecidos, que mal se conhecem ou desconhecem de todo, vindos de diferentes áreas e diferentes bandas, de imediato se completam e dão corpo, numa espécie de geração espontânea, a uma obra única, de marcada identidade e sensibilidade; e é um milagre a música em si, o modo como a tristeza, o tédio, o abatimento, a espera, o cândido são adornados com a banda sonora perfeita e absoluta e cantados pela notável e estranha poesia de Ronaldo Fonseca, numa união imaculada e magnífica. Como se peixe : avião sempre tivesse existido algures no limbo da nossa inconsciência, na maresia das tardes de Verão, na aragem trazida pelas primeiras chuvas, e esperasse a junção dos vocábulos para tomar forma. Nesse sentido, nunca um nome espelhou tão perfeitamente o objecto que designa. Porque nunca a dissemelhança foi tão harmoniosamente enlaçada na criação do novo como acontece com peixe : avião.
Há muito – demasiado – tempo que não somos surpreendidos por uma obra musical. Nada de espantar, porquanto os milagres e o sublime só acontecem muito raramente… Mas quando temos o privilégio de viver um momento desses, como é o caso com a audição de “40 . 02” de peixe : avião, só podemos regozijar-nos e espalhar a boa nova pelos quatro cantos da terra. É o que eu faço e o convido a fazer: entre no mundo maravilhoso de peixe : avião, deixe-se mergulhar nas correntes aéreas deste oceano desconhecido, desfrute da viagem pelas profundezas da brisa outonal e vai ver que também vai sentir esta alegria, esta fé resplandecente na capacidade humana para produzir o belo que só as grandes obras conseguem gerar."
