The Autumn Is Here edition and so is Amazing Songs & Other Delights #32 now on mixcloud. The 16 chosen songs don't directly have to do with Autumn as in having Autumn on the title or so, more with having what to me is an Autumnal feeling.

Panda Bear and Sonic Boom landed in Porto to present their album Reset in what could be described as an electro pop concert. At the show, someone told me, it is not electro pop, it is psychedelic pop. Psychedelia was indeed present, in the sound and visuals. What I meant, and mean, by electro pop regarding this concert is not the usual meaning, rather that there is an electronic basis completed and complemented with pop landscapes, namely the vocal harmonies.
Their brand of electro popishness reaches its peak with the very, or extremely, Beach Boys like Edge of The Edge, a fine danceable, upbeat song. The clapping and percussions instruments used by both musicians also help giving a more organic, analogue vibe to electronic based music.
As for sonic forays, Sonic Boom as sonic on his name for a reason and Panda Bear is no strange to it. The encore closing was a perfect example of it. The aforementioned visuals, by Studio Sparks, perfectly captured the musical, vocal and sonic ambient of the songs and live performance.

I ventured to Rodigro Neto’s concert and recital Merda em Flor e outras Fogueiras not knowing what I was going to be met with.t paid off. A quiet, intimate, late aferternoon acoustic guitar concert, with very short stories between instrumentals told by Rodrigo. The words losely remind of our folklore as well as our mediaval Canções de Amigo. Total silence, a dark room and the audience seated very close to the artist, including on the floor. The concert and recital were the closing of Da Escuridão e da Luz an exhibition by Ana Torrie and Samuel Ornelas.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #31 - The Heroin Diaries edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud
Amazing Songs & Other Delights #31 - The Heroin Diaries can now be listened to at Yé Yé's mixcloud.
The Heroin Diaries is the name of one of Nikki Sixx 's (Motley Crue's bassist) memoirs.
The 16 songs on the tell it in my place the trials, struggles, sorrows and losses from heroin addiction that so many friends, acquaintances, neighbours, people I work with, strangers and, of course, musicians and other artists who paid the price for.
When I start reading through my 80s diaries I was surprised to find so many around me using it. Surprised in the sense I had totally forgot about it. Also, by then, and again now, Porto had a serious heroin addiction problem. In recent years I've had a few less than cool encounters with people asking me where to buy heroin and the likes because when you're "strung out on heroin" all you think about is beetlebum, chasing the dragon, brown sugar since she's a cruel mistress.
