Entretanto foi ama dos filhos da família Waits (sim, essa mesmo), situação que terá tido o seu peso na definição do tecido folk/rock construído por Hoop a partir dos mais variados novelos musicais. O disco de estreia, Kismet, é como uma manta de toque suave porém robusta, onde cabem melodias que lembram, à vez, Fiona Apple, Bat for Lashes e Kate Bush, aqui e ali com pequenos toques luminosos &lt;em&gt;à la &lt;/em&gt;Lilly Allen. No geral, uma excelente colecção de canções em que sobressai a crueza de &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://clientes.netvisao.pt/blogspot/jesca-hoop-seed-of-wonder.wma"&gt;Seed of Wonder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, o imaginário &lt;em&gt;cabaret&lt;/em&gt; de &lt;em&gt;Love and Love Again&lt;/em&gt; e o ambiente pagão de &lt;em&gt;Havoc in Heaven&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Só um reparo: o início de &lt;em&gt;Summertime&lt;/em&gt;, que soa a cantilena de acampamento escuta, constitui motivo para pressão reflexa no botão &lt;em&gt;stop&lt;/em&gt;. Assim, aproveitem o primeiro minuto e picos do cd para irem à casa de banho ou prepararem uma sandocha, e depois aconcheguem-se confortavelmente no sofá com a vossa manta nova...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;página oficial&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jescahoop.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;http://www.jescahoop.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;myspace&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/jescahoop"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/jescahoop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12913680-4073672068936975340?l=spinblackcircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/feeds/4073672068936975340/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12913680&amp;postID=4073672068936975340&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/4073672068936975340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/4073672068936975340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/2008/04/jesca-hoop-kismet.html' title='Jesca Hoop - KISMET'/><author><name>Mendonça</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07189415043348481794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tEX1ChnN6k/Tb1Du4XdVVI/AAAAAAAAACU/25EnE1hviG4/s220/Foto%2BPerfil%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ekZpSi-u0RQ/SAY_40HLMDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/89GOnLb13lQ/s72-c/Jesca+Hoop+-+Kismet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12913680.post-4854037247791220494</id><published>2006-11-26T11:08:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-11-26T12:40:08.301Z</updated><title type='text'>The Klaxons - XAN VALLEYS EP</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/3088/1576/1600/557007/klaxons-xan_valleys%20ep.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="185" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/3088/1576/320/180418/klaxons-xan_valleys%20ep.jpg" width="185" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modular (2006)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://clientes.netvisao.pt/ticas/Klaxons-Gravitys_Rainbow.wma"&gt;Gravity's Rainbow&lt;/a&gt; 2.

Ok, isto não será uma rave. Até porque nas raves não se ouvem canções, que é o que os Klaxons andam a cuspir a partir de Londres desde 2005, com tal pujança que já devem ter atingido uma boa quantidade de ouvidos desprevenidos em todo o mundo. No que me diz respeito, já há três ou quatro semanas que me escorre pela cabeça abaixo uma massa viscosa verde, amarela e rosa fluorescente que não consigo limpar de maneira nenhuma. Parece que se chama Xan Valleys e tão depressa me promete amor eterno com coros à TV On The Radio (&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://clientes.netvisao.pt/ticas/Klaxons-Gravitys_Rainbow.wma"&gt;Gravity's Rainbow&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;), como me barra a entrada (na rave?) porque o meu nome não está na lista (&lt;em&gt;The Bouncer&lt;/em&gt;). Pelo meio dispara uns breakbeats alucinados e liga umas sirenes que me põem a ver estrelas - ou serão efeitos do grafismo marado do &lt;a href="http://www.klaxons.net/"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;? Atenção: no final da massa aparecem duas remisturas que soam a Daft Punk (arrggh!!!) e convém separar rapidamente do núcleo duro, para não causarem danos permanentes. Quanto ao resto, venha mais visco!...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;página oficial - &lt;a href="http://www.klaxons.net/"&gt;http://www.klaxons.net/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;myspace - &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/klaxons"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/klaxons&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12913680-4854037247791220494?l=spinblackcircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/feeds/4854037247791220494/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12913680&amp;postID=4854037247791220494&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/4854037247791220494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/4854037247791220494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/2006/11/klaxons-xan-valleys-ep.html' title='The Klaxons - XAN VALLEYS EP'/><author><name>Mendonça</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07189415043348481794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tEX1ChnN6k/Tb1Du4XdVVI/AAAAAAAAACU/25EnE1hviG4/s220/Foto%2BPerfil%2B2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12913680.post-6899939327606775668</id><published>2006-11-25T19:54:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-11-26T11:08:28.745Z</updated><title type='text'>The Pipettes - WE ARE THE PIPETTES</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/3088/1576/1600/87237/the_pipettes-we_are_the_pipettes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="185" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/3088/1576/320/449173/the_pipettes-we_are_the_pipettes.jpg" width="185" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3730/255/1600/white%20rose%20movement%20-%20kick.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Memphis Industries (2006)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.

Chamem os papás e peçam-lhes as Pipettes para o Natal - são mais giras que as miúdas dos Morangos com Açucar, sabem cantar, usam vestidos às bolinhas e em meia horita despacham 14 bombons capazes de trasportar o mais carrancudo dos progenitores à infância e pô-lo a abanar as ancas até as próteses darem de si.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;A ideia foi simples: recriar a pop de finais dos anos 50, quando as girls-bands dominavam o mundo e os Beatles ainda eram quatro jovens que não se conheciam. Um tipo chamado "Monster" Bobby Barry fez de Phil Spector, enfiou 3 miúdas com vozes bonitas nos tais vestidos às bolinhas e entregou os instrumentos a uma série de rapazes, a que chamou The Cassette. O resto são canções que nos relembram os bailes de finalistas dos filmes e nos fazem suspirar pelas velhas rodelas de plástico pretas, a girar sem parar debaixo da agulha (daquelas que não fazem mal). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Ouçam a deliciosa &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://clientes.netvisao.pt/ticas/The_Pipettes-Your_Kisses_Are_Wasted_On_Me.wma"&gt;Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; e tentem evitar um sorriso.

E acredito que, em ocasiões especiais, esse sentimento possa despontar com tal intensidade que, numa questão de segundos, todo o corpo se arrepie, embalado pelo ritmo descompassado do coração. E foi assim que me apaixonei perdidamente por cinco meninas do Canadá, que bateram à porta dos meus ouvidos e imediatamente forçaram a entrada na minha corrente sanguínea, contagiando de forma irresistível todos os meus órgãos. Como é que eu podia dizer que não áquelas palavras suaves e doces, embaladas numa melancolia imensa de melodias e ritmos perfeitos na sua simplicidade e que atingem em cheio o cérebro? Pois é. Não podia. Por isso desisti, ainda antes de ter tentado resistir, e entreguei o meu coração às cinco meninas, feliz na certeza de ter encontrado um Amor verdadeiro, de que nunca me vou cansar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;página oficia&lt;/span&gt;l - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theorgan.ca/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;http://www.theorgan.ca/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12913680-114703362644428526?l=spinblackcircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/feeds/114703362644428526/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12913680&amp;postID=114703362644428526&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/114703362644428526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/114703362644428526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/2006/05/organ-grab-that-gun.html' title='The Organ - GRAB THAT GUN'/><author><name>Mendonça</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07189415043348481794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tEX1ChnN6k/Tb1Du4XdVVI/AAAAAAAAACU/25EnE1hviG4/s220/Foto%2BPerfil%2B2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12913680.post-114702494060455576</id><published>2006-05-07T18:45:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-11-12T05:41:28.800Z</updated><title type='text'>White Rose Movement - KICK</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3730/255/1600/white%20rose%20movement%20-%20kick.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" height="185" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3730/255/320/white%20rose%20movement%20-%20kick.0.jpg" width="185" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Independiente (2006)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.

Faço desde já (mais) uma vénia aos tipos que escolhem o alinhamento do festival, pelo simples facto de todos os anos incluírem no cartaz a(s) minha(s) banda(s) preferida(s) do momento - Arcade Fire em 2005 e White Rose Movement (WRM) no ano da graça que vai agora a meio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Seguindo a linha revivalista 80's explorada por bandas como os The Bravery, os WRM pegam na electro-wave "clássica" ("&lt;em&gt;Girls in The Back&lt;/em&gt;" e "&lt;em&gt;Love is a Number&lt;/em&gt;") mas dão-lhe um enxerto de porrada com soqueiras góticas e industriais, até lhe deixarem a cara feita num híbrido goth-hard-wave (fui eu que inventei esta) que soa a Depeche Mode no headphone esquerdo ("&lt;em&gt;Deborah Carne&lt;/em&gt;"), a Nine Inch Nails no headphone direito ("&lt;em&gt;Pig Hail Jam&lt;/em&gt;") e a uma cena marada quando se ouvem os dois headphones ao mesmo tempo ("&lt;em&gt;Kick&lt;/em&gt;"). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;O certo é que o híbrido consegue encaixar a tareia melhor do que o Rocky dos velhos tempos e tem energia para dar e vender durante os 51.32 min de KICK, o disco de estreia dos 4 londrinos e 1 londrina que foram buscar o nome a um &lt;a href="http://www.eriding.net/worldinconflict/annefrank/historywhiterose.shtml#3"&gt;movimento&lt;/a&gt; criado por um grupo de jovens alemães que teve a coragem de, em pleno regime nazi, lutar contra a ideologia repressiva e fascista de Hitler. E é precisamente esse sentimento, misto de urgência, vitalidade e paixão, que os WRM conseguem imprimir à sua música, tornando-a tão irresistível e apelativa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Quem quer ir comigo distribuir panfletos para a rua e espalhar a palavra?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;página oficial - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whiterosemovement.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;http://www.whiterosemovement.co.uk/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;myspace - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/WhiteRoseMovement"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#339999;"&gt;http://www.myspace.com/WhiteRoseMovement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12913680-114702494060455576?l=spinblackcircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/feeds/114702494060455576/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12913680&amp;postID=114702494060455576&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/114702494060455576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/114702494060455576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/2006/05/white-rose-movement-kick.html' title='White Rose Movement - KICK'/><author><name>Mendonça</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07189415043348481794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tEX1ChnN6k/Tb1Du4XdVVI/AAAAAAAAACU/25EnE1hviG4/s220/Foto%2BPerfil%2B2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12913680.post-113976690154951490</id><published>2006-02-12T16:21:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-11-11T14:33:35.616Z</updated><title type='text'>Editors - THE BACK ROOM</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3730/255/1600/thebackroomlarge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 185px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 185px" alt="Editors-The Back Room" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3730/255/320/thebackroomlarge.jpg" width="108" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#339999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;Kitchenware (2005)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;1.

Mas quem gosta de jóias vai ficar deliciado com a variedade e quantidade encerrada naquele baú em forma de CD: há diamantes em "&lt;em&gt;Lights&lt;/em&gt;", "&lt;em&gt;Blood&lt;/em&gt;" e "&lt;em&gt;Bullets&lt;/em&gt;", poderosas e de arestas bem definidas; esmeraldas de brilho vivo, denso e etéreo em "&lt;em&gt;Fall&lt;/em&gt;", "&lt;em&gt;Camera&lt;/em&gt;", "&lt;em&gt;Open Your Arms&lt;/em&gt;" e "&lt;em&gt;Distance&lt;/em&gt;"; e objectos de prata e ouro em "All &lt;em&gt;Sparks&lt;/em&gt;", "&lt;em&gt;Fingers in the Factories&lt;/em&gt;" e "&lt;em&gt;Someone Says&lt;/em&gt;", que lançam no céu reflexos dourados e cinzentos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quem tiver sorte e procurar bem, ainda pode encontrar no fundo deste baú um alçapão que esconde mais seis pedras preciosas, dentro de um cd bónus que, apesar de ser mais pequeno que a arca maior, contém a jóia mais reluzente de todo o espólio, "&lt;em&gt;Colours&lt;/em&gt;", embrulhada em suaves panos de seda, sonho e melancolia. &lt;em&gt;"You are the colour, my dear", &lt;/em&gt;canta Tom Smith, enquanto embala nos braços a sua paixão.

Depois vieram os anos 80, carregados de deslumbramento e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;desilusão, romantismo e sofrimento, a busca pelo sentido da vida num mundo desolado e desolador onde a felicidade se escapa sistematicamente por entre os dedos. Assim são os Interpol: românticos, sonhadores, emotivos, apaixonados. Negros, mas ainda assim, luminosos. É verdade que já não estamos nos anos 80, mas isso pouco importa. Depois de &lt;em&gt;Turn On The Bright Lights&lt;/em&gt;, os nova iorquinos partilham conosco mais uma mão-cheia de poemas em forma de canções, grandes canções que podiam ser Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus ou Echo and the Bunnymen. Sinta-se a força arrebatadora de &lt;em&gt;"Evil"&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;"Slow Hands",&lt;/em&gt; duas das melhores canções rock dos últimos anos que dão sentido á tecla &lt;em&gt;repeat&lt;/em&gt; do leitor de cd's, o baixo pulsante e a guitarra urgente a empurrarem a voz de Paul Banks em direcção ao céu; o ritmo angular de "&lt;em&gt;NARC"&lt;/em&gt; a marcar a cadência do coração numa noite sem fim; os jogos de luz e sombra em "&lt;em&gt;Take You on a Cruise";&lt;/em&gt; a procura desesperada de algo melhor, algo maior, a luz perdida em &lt;em&gt;"Public Pervet"&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;"C'mere".&lt;/em&gt; Há quem os ache frios e cínicos, outros uma cópia de coisas melhores. A primeira vez que ouvi &lt;em&gt;Antics&lt;/em&gt; na Fnac lembro-me de pensar isso mesmo: música fria e sem alma. Às vezes não reconhecemos as coisas boas mesmo quando batemos nelas. E a luz continua o seu caminho, à procura de quem se queira aquecer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;página oficial - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.interpolnyc.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339999;"&gt;http://www.interpolnyc.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12913680-111644853316913125?l=spinblackcircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/feeds/111644853316913125/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12913680&amp;postID=111644853316913125&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/111644853316913125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12913680/posts/default/111644853316913125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spinblackcircle.blogspot.com/2005/05/interpol-antics.html' title='Interpol - ANTICS'/><author><name>Mendonça</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07189415043348481794</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tEX1ChnN6k/Tb1Du4XdVVI/AAAAAAAAACU/25EnE1hviG4/s220/Foto%2BPerfil%2B2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
