Album Of The Week: BRUNO MARS' Unorthodox Jukebox

Mon, 13 May 2013 22:21:00 -0300

It feels so good to listen to him again. Okay, it might not have been that long ago, but we got used to having a Bruno Mars’ hit on the radio like all the time. “Locked Out Of Heaven” denotes how 80s the album is, a trend that has got many followers, including Miss Gaga and Beyoncé’s 4.

The album opener is the awesome “Young Girls”, which does sound like the next hit after the massive “When I Was Your Man”, which I happen to love listening to. Or would that be “Gorilla”? Smart lyrics and a catchy chorus might do the trick, right? As for the other tracks, well, truth be told, I’m a bit tired of this 80s revival already and some of the songs are easily skipped, no harm at all. However, one that is perhaps the most delightful song of the year is the collaboration with Esperanza Spalding “Old & Crazy”.

But the pearls are the demo versions of “Young Girls” and “Gorilla” (available on iTunes Deluxe Version), so let’s just hope they are released in a Deluxe Version CD anytime soon. I’m sure they would be much bigger had they opted for these guitar-voice versions, but not everything is perfect. Gladly, his voice certainly is.

mrgolightly:

I believe if there’s any kind of God, it wouldn’t be in any of us. Not you or me, but just this little space in between. If there’s any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed, but who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.

Somos Tão Jovens, de Antonio Carlos da Fontoura

Thu, 09 May 2013 21:34:00 -0300

O cinema nacional promete este ano! Após o brilhante “Uma História de Amor e Fúria”, de Luiz Bolognesi, Antonio Carlos da Fontoura traz o instigante “Somos Tão Jovens” que tem a dura missão de agradar aos milhões de fãs de Renato Russo ao mesmo tempo em que o apresenta a uma nova geração. E, neste caso, a missão dada se tornou missão cumprida.

A decisão de focar os primeiros anos musicais de Renato Russo e sua banda “Aborto Elétrico” foi genial, pois como disse a mãe de Renato para o cineasta, não queríamos um novo “Cazuza”. Se neste Daniel de Oliveira nos deu uma atuação espiritual, em “Somos Tão Jovens” é a vez de Thiago Mendonça nos brindar com uma performance poderosa e acertada, sem nunca cair para o piegas ou clichê - ele nos faz acreditar que aquele era o Renato em seus 20 anos. E quando sabemos ao final dos letreiros que era ele mesmo quem cantou cada uma das músicas, aí você cai de joelhos e saluda tamanha perfeição.

E por falar nas músicas, várias de nossas preferidas estão lá. O gostoso é você brincar de “Qual é a Música” durante o filme, como quando Aninha briga com Renato, você já sabe qual música ele vai compor. E o por trás de cada música é contagiante, saber como surgiu “Faroeste Caboclo”, e como o Aborto Elétrico gerou tanto o Legião Urbana quanto o Capital Inicial de Dinho Ouro Preto, e mais ainda como o rock de Brasília conquistou todo o país.

Outros destaques são a atuação da fofíssima Laila Zaid, no papel da melhor amiga Aninha baseada nas várias amigas de Renato, e o Herbert Vianna de Edu Moraes, que imita com maestria a voz única deste outro astro do rock nacional.

São tantos os ingredientes certeiros que não há dúvida de que o filme terá longa carreira nos cinemas. O nascimento da Legião Urbana contado pelo experiente Antonio Carlos da Fontoura é cheio de nostalgia, e me fez lembrar da importância desta banda em minha adolescência; as tardes de domingo regadas a muito violão, e lembrar que um dia eu ousei aprender a tocar este instrumento apenas para poder tocar “Faroeste Caboclo” quando eu bem entendesse. Bons tempos.

My TOP 5 Guilty Pleasure

Sun, 05 May 2013 11:34:00 -0300

We all have that one or more pleasure we tend to hide from others, don’t we? These are mine:

5. Re-reading EAT PRAY LOVE whenever I find the time to.

4. Playing ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS on my cell phone until I have 3-starred every level in every new planet they come up with.

3. Stopping whatever it is I’m doing to watch DIRTY DANCING for the 100th time on TV.

2. Going crazy when they play SPICE GIRLS on the dancefloor (or when the girls pop up to sing at the Olympics)

1. Watching GLEE every week. Yes, I’m a Gleek!
