Gone Gone to Brazil... Soon

[dotinthesky]

I'm going to see The Tears tonight. I'm meeting Silke and Kate after work in a pub by the Astoria, despite feeling tired & blargh(!) But I wouldn't miss this gig for anything in the netherworld. I'm curious to see how different/similar this band is to Suede.

And you in the back, you can shut up and keep your opinions about Suede to yourselves.

I feel slightly anxious about my trip to Brazil. Counting today, 5 days left until my flight. The last time I spoke to my mom on the phone, she started arguing with my brother Martin. My voice cut through the Atlantic wires, asking them to quiet down and be nice to each other.

When I arrive home, there will be watermelons in the fridge (my favourite fruit), brand new magazines lying around, family coming & going with their "hellos" and "how is London?", gossip, the visit of friends, flicking through television channels to see what changed/what remains the same. I'll need to figure out a way of seeing my friends in São Paulo: Henrique, Bruno, Os Abimonistas, Andrea & Flavia.

I want to hug my dachshund Tete (short for Maria Tereza) and take her for long walks in the Zerão (Londrina's Hyde Park). Expect many photos of me hugging her while she slobbers my face.

Then, of course, there's that trip to Nordeste (Natal & Salvador). Will it happen? Or will it backfire, like so many plans before? And will I want to strangle my brother after a few days into the trip? He is one of the only people on this planet who knows which buttons to press and make me homicidal.

Watermelons are my favourite fruit and I adore Suede :)

No wonder we get along! :)

We have the best watermelons in Brazil. You are now cordially invited to come visit (soon hopefully) and experience them.

Heyyy I didn't know about the Tears. Very interesting.

I love Suede but they really started losing it after Coming Up.

Will write a review tomorrow and let you know. ;-)

I think Suede slightly lost their way, but not completely. Some of their later songs are wonderful.

[ex-stanza602.livejournal.com]

Some are indeed, but the albums as a whole lost their cohesion. And A New Morning really bugged me because Brett took most of the effects off his voice and so they completely lost their glam.

Plus, "Positivity" is their worst song ever and was released as a single! A real disappointment (although I do love the rest of the album.)

Nem sei o que falar sobre sua ida ao show dos Tears... Estou MUITO ansioso para ver no que resultou a reunião do Brett e do Bernard. Já li coisas bem animadas e positivas a respeito e não acredito em decepção, já que nunca vi nada dessa parceria que não fosse, no mínimo, muito bom.

Com relação à viagem ao Brasil, você não vem dar uma passada no Rio? A época está ótima para uma visita e a temperatura está relativamente amena. Muitos acontecimentos e muita gente de fora.

Estas minhas amigas Silke e Kate foram no primeiro show deles em Oxford! Elas falaram que foi muito bom. A Silke nao eh de exagerar, entao deve ter sido bom mesmo. Estou torcendo para que o show de hoje seja otimo tambem! ;)

Infelizmente nao vou ter tempo de ir para o Rio. Tenho que ver familia no Parana, Minas, amigos em Sao Paulo, e talvez uma viajenzinha para o Nordeste... mas quem sabe no futuro? Alias, estou para lhe sugerir que de uma olhada no journal da tete_glitter. Ela mora no Rio tambem e eh muito, muito joia (ela eh super fa do Pulp, por exemplo.)

I'm afraid I don't have a very positive review to write!

:o(

[tonight-we-fly.livejournal.com]

I tried to get a ticket, but as soon as I heard about it the show was already sold out.

If The Tears were really good, please can you lie and say that they were rubbish so that I won't feel so bad. Thanks.
