O melhor da noite no Parrila Madrid: Fernanda Pinho

Fernanda Pinho no Parrilla Madrid hoje.
Não quero desmerecer os tapas do Parrilla Madrid da 408 Sul, mas justiça seja feita: o melhor da noite de hoje foi a voz e violão de Fernanda Pinho. Ela cantou de All That She Wants do Ace of Base à Kiss From a Rose do Seal. Foi uma sequência de hits internacionais meio a nacionais e músicas próprias. Um sacríficio não bater palmas ao final de cada música!  Antes de partir pedi foto e disse o que tinha que ser dito: ela é a melhor cantora de Brasília. Ao contrário do vibrato da cantora irlandesa Luane Parle o dela é na medida certa. Abaixo um ótimo cover de You Oughta Know, de Alanis Morissette.

Not Too Much Booze

Image by Nathan Smith
Not too much booze for me
Thank you very much
Four pints and I am out of touch
Another one, some would say
Unlike you, I pay

I agree they’re cool
Pubs are indeed great
But talking is natural for you
I struggle and wake up at eight

That is not really true
I sometimes go blue
So for the music I go
As the craic I must know
Can you do another one please?

WTIAS Answers No. 4 - The Good Times by The Last Tycoons

Press F5 if the audio does not appear.

<a href="http://thelasttycoons.bandcamp.com/track/good-times">Good Times by The Last Tycoons</a>
All these people I once held so dear
All bore me now and it’s becoming clear
We’ve both been wasted all our lives
Soon it’s gone cut and bleed us dry

It gets lonely
Oh it gets lonely
Now the good times are over

This city that I love so well
Now it won't hurt to say farewell
I´m sick to death and don't want to remain
To play that losing roll all over again

But it's only
Yeah it's only
That the good times are over

I got your letter yesterday
Cursed you once or twice for the delay
The curtain's down the stage is bare
The clock was cruel beyond compare
I sat drunk and listened silently
Now tell me isn’t that true chivalry
We said good bye and I struggled to say
I’ve always been devoted to you in my way

The Importance of Being Gay

Image: Koleksifoto
What Gay does, what Gay says
can’t be talked in the mass
Gay’s no devil nevertheless

Now Gay will say things as they are
Gay will drive the best car
Although Gay’s not a materialistic fool
Gay only swims in a fancy pool
and dresses nice clothes

Gay can’t help it
Gay has good taste
Plus a good job that is never at stake

Do and Don’ts

Image:  Soupdigital.co.nz
Listen, don’t nag
When right, don’t brag
Talk, don’t hurt
Be gentle, don’t bluff
Accept, let it go
Love, don’t control
Speak, don’t shout
Ask, don’t give out
Move on, don’t delay
Once again, you say?
