Beijos pra quem perdeu o melhor show da vida =P

Sabe, não é nem o fato dos 14 anos que eu estou esperando pra ver o Theatre of Tragedy aqui no Brasil, mas os caras mandaram bem, sério, muito bem. Eles já tinham dito que fariam um show especial aqui na nossa terrinha, já que nunca tinham vindo antes e essa é a tour de despedida, mas foi mais que isso, foi mto mais que especial! Nem a dor infeliz que eu tava me fez ficar quieta: cantei e fiquei no 'bate pé', full time =P. Bem, o show foi realmente maravilhoso, pouca gente, o som perfeito, pequenos erros que, fã nenhum deve se lembrar mais. O setlist estava bem equilibrado, rolou várias de quase todos os cds, só ficou o Assembly de fora =/... Porra, não acreditei quando começou Cassandra... há 12 anos atrás eu nunca imaginaria que ouviria isso ao vivo! Aliás, coisa que nunca me aconteceu foi sentir vontade de chorar num show. Acho que num show do Depeche eu poderia me desidratar, mas não imaginei que fosse chorar no ToT, mas chorei. Um show pra guardar no coer, mesmo.

Aliás, melação à parte, o povo lá tava mais tranquilo. Tiöp, no show do Lacuna, tinha uma pivetaiada travestidos de drag queens tristes, já no ToT, não. Não sei se pelo som, principalmente dos albuns do inicio e o ultimo FITW, ou pela idade da galëre, que dava pra ver que a piveta alí, na real, era eu =P. Claaaaro, sempre tem um sem noção, tipo o gatz com a cara de Minancora com make de 'O Corvo' por cima da barba. Ele tava um show a parte! Mas fora isso, o povo estava bem mais comedido que vários outros show aus trevas que eu já vi.

Pra quem gosta da banda e não foi no show, por favor, babe mto:

DJ Trace - The Philadelphia Sessions (1999)


From what I gather, the streets is hungry for more classic mixes by the original techstep don - the UK's (and mid-90's Philly transplant) DJ Trace. I've been a long time fan of the master both as a DJ when I first got hold of his Don FM pirate radio sets from 1993/94, as well as a huge fan of his many incredible productions over the years.

During his stint in my hometown, not only did I get to regularly check Trace (known as Duncan to his mum) play excellently on many massive rigs, I've also been extremely lucky to be on occasion witness to this turntable monster throw down some of the freshest, nastiest dubplates in some of the most intimate settings: on decks set up on kitchen counters in 4am apartment ragers, off the back of a truck behind some abandon warehouse in North Philly, and of course the dark, smokey, extremely loud confines of the upstairs back room @ 1415 Locust (blunts, break-dancing and bass, anyone? Those were the days!).

When Trace announced via his Facebook last month he'd be giving up DJing drum n bass entirely, myself and I'm sure many other longtime fans shed a virtual tear. Lucky for us, many many many recordings of his beautifully hectic, futuristic DJ sets are being preserved digitally to be enjoyed by many more 'headz.

This mix from 1999 - landed via mp3 in my email box recently. I don't actually own a copy, though I do remember it's release and it making the rounds among friends. It's an excellent selection recorded at GFS studios (big up Joe & Justin!) with a nice little intro by the recently elusive Dub 2 MC.

Expect a heavy neurofunk vibe, loads of Bad Company, Ed Rush & Optical, Johnny L, Ram Trilogy, Trace, Fierce, and more. The quality is very questionable at times so forgive me it is out of my control. This is the problem with encoding cassette tapes. Enjoy!

Joey Breakdown - Jungle Bones


Here is just a little thing I threw together for some friends, more or less a recreation of an old anonymous mixtape that made the rounds of our circle during the mid 90's Philly rave scene. For whatever reason it became know as the "Frankie Bones Jungle Tape", most likely because it was some unknown (awesome) jungle DJ's mix taped over a Frankie Bones tape, as the techno-centric Bones was notorious for rarely playing jungle sets, let alone recording them (the shear amount of Frankie Bones in circulation at that time completely supports my theory!).

Whether it's Bones or not, the mix is a fucking wicked one, but as the proud owner of one of the only copies in existence of the O.G. cassette, I could not in good conscience upload the actual mix, simply due to its expected disintegration making it almost virtually impossible to listen to at this point.

The beauty of the mix is absolutely the track selection , a stinky, stuttering ragga funk that gives way to roughneck future business. Cause of its plain and simple awesomeness I recreated it, using my vinyls and some recently obtained mp3's, attempting to recreate as much of the vibe and punch of the original mix. Hope you enjoy.

Lacuna Coil: 12 anos de espera!

Quando vc é realmente mto fã de uma banda, vc quer ter o cd, o LP, a camiseta, quer ver um show deles e tudo o mais. Eu esperei pra ver um show do Lacuna Coil por DOZE ANOS. A ansiedade tava me matando há dias, sábado, minhas mãos estavam suando! Encontrei com a Déa já lá no Espaço Lux, fui com o namour e um amigo. Como eu SEMPRE digo, ter contatos é tudo na vida de alguém... hahaha sabem pq? Pq só nós conseguimos entrar antes de todo mundo... namorado e amigo botaram a gente pra dentro... subindo a escada, já grudei no braço da Déa 'Dé, a Cristina tá no palco!!!!' Sim, meus caros amigos leitores e frequentadores deste meu singelo blog, eu vi Cristina Scabbia de coque no cabelo, sem make, com blusa de moleton juntamente com os outros integrantes da banda passando o som e aquecendo a voz. Alguma coisa tinha que compensar, né? Zicada do jeito que eu sou, tinha que ter alguma coisa boa pra compensar, e MTO boa! Podemos ficar alí, assistimos tudo, bem de pertinho. Pois bem, eles saíram do palco e eu e Déa ficamos no impasse 'colamos na grade ou não?' Até que decidimos que sim, íamos pra grade. Colamos lá e o polvo foi chegando, uma pirralhada do caraio que, dels, a gente não sabia de ria ou saía correndo. No final das contas, a gente acabou foi é arranjando encrenca com alguns dos pirralhos da grade e resolvemos sair dalí, pra não sair dando porrada na criançada. Aliás, até já tínhamos combinado, eu saía dando coturnada e a Dé na porrada mesmo =P hahahah Após isso, até que a Cristina ía se maquiar e panz e enqt a galëre entrava (gordótica plof no chão hahahah) os caras botaram umas músicas lá... não foi mto surpreendente, mas nos sentimos duas tiazonas, qnd começou a tocar Bela Lugosi's Dead e SÓ eu e a Déa começamos a balançar a perna. Tiöp, acho que ninguém alí sabia que diabos era Bauhaus, MTO menos ainda, quem diabos foi Bela Lugosi. Tá, abafa. Aliás, abafa um monte de coisa, abafa nós duas se segurando pra não sair dançando, abafa nós duas cantando Rammstein e Type O Negative, abafa a gente rindo demais do cara das calças dividindo certas partes alí, abafa o funk da pamonha, que até no meio do show, a gente insistia em cantar =P. Mas até aí, a gente ainda tinha voz. Enfim, a espera acabou, Lacuna Coil entrou no palco e tocaram Survive... Cara, eu perdi a fala alí, não tava acreditando que finalmente eu ía ver aqueles caras ao vivo... Depois de Survive, Underdog [uma das favoritas do ult cd] e enfim... qnd ela deu a entender que ía tocar Senzafine, eu já baixei a cabeça, peguei a camera e me preparei pra berrar como nunca...


[vídeo roubado de uma das pirralhadas do show. Okay ameega, nem sei quem é vc, mas o vídeo ficou legal]

E depois, Heavens a Lie... Aliás, Dalmitcha, tentamos te ligar, mas seu celular só chamou! ò.ó E pra acabar com a vida da pessoa, cover de Enjoy the Silence: E pra dar mais inveja ainda pro povo, no final do show, um cara nos parou e perguntou se queríamos a palheta, OBOVIO, né bee? e aí está:


[Bem que eu tentei colocar aqui os vídeos que EU fiz, mas essa net de boxta não ajudou em nada, nem upar no youtube, nem do computador direto pra cá, nem porra nenhuma.]

Só fiquei esperando rolar Tight Rope e fiquei meio tristinha por não ter rolado, eu adoro essa música e o Comalies é meu cd do coer. Enfim, kein Problem, eu gritei mto nesse show e to rouca ainda.

Enfim, melhor show. Nile, KsE, Within, Moonspell, Candlemass, Gathering.. todos foram shows inesquecíveis, mas acho que nenhum foi tão esperado quanto esse! E agora, é passar a semana passando mal, pq domingão tem Theatre of Tragedy, e aí, ameego, são 2 anos a mais de espera que o show do LC e a ansiedade tá me comendo!
