Porque há concertos que nao deviam ser Unicos!

Desde Dezembro que tive conhecimento de um album de tributo aos Black Sabbath.

Concerto este com cabeça de cartaz a Belissima e Talentosa Melissa Auf der Maur, ex-smashing e cabecilha dos Hand Of Doom, banda de tributo a Black Sabbath onde ela era a guitarrista e vocalista. Se puderem comprem, façam download, peçam aos pais, à namorada (sim porque estamos perto do dia dos clichés) mas arranjem porque vale mesmo a pena.

In The Arms of Sleep



"In The Arms Of Sleep"

Sleep will not come to this tired body now
Peace will not come to this lonely heart
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
I need you tonite
I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves
Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes
And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me
I need someone to ease my mind
But sometimes a someone is so hard to find
And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight
And I'll say anything to make her feel alright
And I'll be anything to keep her here tonight
Cause I want you to stay, with me
I need you tonite
She comes to me like an angel out of time
As I play the part of a saint on my knees
There are some things I'll live without
But I want you to know that I need you right now
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire
Suffer my desire for you

"Every now and then, a record comes along that takes your breath away on the very first listen. Here are the roses, the debut LP from the enigmatic electronic rock duo Dragons, is one of these records. This is a work of unapologetic melodrama and self-possession, a serious statement of intent that imprints itself indelibly on the soul. Lyrically, the songs are devastating in their bleakness. They come steeped in sepulchral gloom, conjuring disorienting images of graphite skies, monochrome city streets and isolated figures languishing in the shadows. Where is the love? a work of sombre, sinister beauty, is the stuff of gothic nightmares while the eponymous opener (“I’m sitting half naked/my heart racing/my soul long dead”) is a heartfelt paean to alienation, even if it concludes on a more hopeful note. Singer Anthony Tombling Jnr sounds like the weight of the world rests exclusively on his shoulders while David Francolini’s drumming conjures an atmosphere of ferocious, slow-burning intensity. The tension reaches boiling point in Lonely tonight, searing with the suggestion of a relationship gone bad. If all this sounds like an unlikely formula for a pop record that’s because it is. But it is Tombling Jnr and Francolini’s willingness to engage with the darker side of human experience that gives their music urgency and depth, rather than weighing it down with emotional baggage. In an era of bland musical commercialism, Dragons arrive like a breath of fresh air in a sticky sauna. Here are the roses is a tremendous record – visceral yet captivating, experimental yet full of heart. Listen to it. You won’t hear anything else like it."

"Transmiticate is the long awaited solo debut from Donita Sparks--former front person and main songwriter of the seminal rock band L7. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Donita with Ethan James (Luscious Jackson, The 88, Daniel Lanois), Transmiticate is filled with dance-rock and dark-pop gems that find Donita moving into territories that might surprise her many fans."
