#maybeshewill

[incidentale]

Oh, nice. This year's top songs were beautifully bookended by these two instrumental ones:

First

All Is Violent, All Is Bright by God Is An Astronaut

And last

Opening by maybeshewill

[caffeinesam]

Do any of you guys know of the band Maybeshewill? They're basically four just some guys, they make instrumental rock with lots of piano and occasional sample pieces that I would qualify as "soundtracks for hopeful but heartbreaking contemporary action dramas". You know the kind of intense, swelling music that gets orchestral and epic and suddenly fades to fit a visual storytelling? The kind of songs that you'd expect both in art film and JRPG soundtracks.

And with a cool DIY approach to it, no huge studio or production companies, just some guys. Basically the indie rock version of power metal. Real good stuff.

Anyway.

I just want to bring up that they split in 2016 but two years later ROBERT FUCKING SMITH told them that no, they were not allowed to break up and they had to get the band together and start making music again. And then he invited them to a music festival.

Anyway I remembered that my taste in music is most excellent and you can all be gently jealous (while sending me your, slightly less good playlists) but I'm also incredibly generous so here's one of my old playlists for running I made many years ago:

ATTENTION. IT GOES VERY HARD.

Last song we listened to: Not For Want of Trying, Maybeshewill. I like this one because it sounds good ofc but also because it has that Network monologue in it which is a classic amongst monologues for a reason.

Currently reading: I just finished The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, which absolutely destroyed me but not exactly in the way I expected it to when I first started reading it. A+ book. I can now go back to Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky (and we'll see if I finish that Warcraft book Tides of Darkness, I'm not currently on my WoW kick like I was when I first started reading the novels so it's slow going).

Currently watching: Riverdale, Stargate SG-1, Twin Peaks, Person of Interest, The Wire, Frasier, Vanitas no Carte, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Fruits Basket.

Currently craving: financial security

Tea or coffee: I enjoy both but my heart belongs to tea.

Bom, estou aqui mais uma vez na mesma época do ano em um mesmo ônibus e por incrível que pareça com um mesmo motorista indo para o Paraná. Sempre o que muda é a poltrona, gosto de pegar o cabine cama, é bem mais confortável que só ficar sentado, paguei uma gafe confundindo o número da minha poltrona, eu juro que tinha visto 77 e tinha um cara sentado nela, eu pedi licença e disse que meu assento era o 77 e ele "ah é, o meu também" sendo que era uma poltrona individual e eu sabia que eu tinha comprado uma dupla pois tinha perdido a minha individual jogando Valorant, o tempo pra fazer o pagamento tinha expirado, então sobrou só essa dupla que tô dividindo com um cara fumante, sei disso por ele estar com aquele cheiro podre de cinzas com perfume, no fim das contas o número que peguei era o 71. Dessa vez não tenho um celular "legal" que mesmo sendo mais rápido fica quase inútil quando fica sem internet e já que o wi-fi do ônibus é praticamente sem velocidade eu prefiro ficar sem. Também não trouxe meu Kindle que ganhei do meu namorado, acabei esquecendo mesmo tendo ido dormir pensando nele, sabia que ele estava na outra bolsa junto com o Surface (aquele tablet-computador-microsoft-afins). Como sempre quase perco o ônibus mas dessa vez não fui o último a chegar e como outras pessoas estavam chegando o ônibus atrasou um pouquinho, esses filhos da mãe que atrasam os outros (risos). Tive que comprar um fone bem meia boca com fio de qualidade duvidosa, foi trinta conto, peguei o primeiro que eu vi, testei já tendo pago. Tive que correr pra não perder a viagem - esse texto deve estar cheio de erros que não irei corrigir, paciência caro leitor - e já que estamos aqui, sem celular, sem Kindle, sem fone bom apenas com meus pensamentos e uma música incrível da minha playlist incrível de post-rock que tive a ideia de baixar no A1 (celular ruim da Samsung) que é da empresa, resolvi escrever, o teclado é ruim e odeio digitar em teclas que travam, ao menos é um aparelho pequeno e bem leve, o meu dedo mindinho da mão direita agradece, já que ele é quem sustenta o peso de todo o aparelho - Se você souber de algum acessório oi meio de segurar o celular sem ser com esse dedo me diga por favor! - PQP COMO EU AMO ESSA MÚSICA! (Eu sempre piro quando toca Maybeshewill, se tiver interesse em conhecer vez ou outra eu coloco alguma coisa aqui, na verdade acho que vou escrever um pouco sobre o que é o Pos-rock pra mim, depois desse texto eu público alguma coisa a respeito. Bom, eu vim sem tomar café e já são 10h46 da manhã de um domingo, geralmente eu falaria que estaria dormindo a essa hora mas depois que entrei pro meu último emprego eu nunca mais consegui acordar tarde, as reuniões lá são bem mais cedo e então sempre acordo meio que no susto, no início eu fiquei muito desconfortável com isso, a pressão de acordar em um certo horário fez meu corpo se traumatizar, as vezes quando está tarde da noite e vou dormir lá pras 2h ou 3h da manhã eu acordo às 6h do nada, no susto e com medo de ter passado da hora então meu corpo apenas pula na cama e então depois de ver as horas eu viro pro lado e tento dormir mais um pouco, mas sabe aquela ansiedade? Pois é, ela é pertinente.

Eu vim de Uber pra rodoviária, eu pensei que não daria mais tempo até que cheguei no horário - em cima da hora pra ser sincero - eu deveria ter agendado a viagem no app mas eu só deixei pra depois mesmo. O motorista era mó gente boa, o Diego, gordinho como eu, com boné pra frente. Falamos sobre apps de viagem e de nossas origens, eles sempre se impressionam quando digo que sou de Manaus. Depois que soube que eu estava meio atrasado por não ter agendado no dia anterior e quando fui pedir passou uns 20 minutos esperando alguém aceitar a viagem, ele meio que colocou o boné pra trás e encarou o desafio de me deixar na rodoviária a tempo da viagem. Foi seguindo o app de GPS sem conhecer muito bem o caminho, encontramos alguns caminhos fechado que o app estava pedindo pra entrar, tivemos que dar uma volta, Diego saiu xingando e desgraçando toda uma fileira parada com caminhões e carros comuns, eu me diverti com ele falando de um cara que ele foi deixar em Florianópolis com um app de carona, o cara tinha perdido o vôo pois esquecer passaporte em casa aparentemente faz as pessoas perderem a viagem, foi por isso que ao entrar no Onix ele me perguntou se eu estava com o passaporte, chaves e documentos comigo.

Agora vou me arrumar aqui pra tirar um cochilo, o clima tá gostoso e o ar-condicionado tá trabalhando bem. Vou por o A1 pra carregar no portátil que eu trouxe enquanto escuto Explosions In The Sky enquanto o cara aqui do lado se engasga de tanto roncar.

My favourite albums of 2022

After two years of Covid, the year 2022 was finally the year when one felt like things got back to normal, at least felt that way when it comes to my cultural life (definitely not normal when some old dickhead starts f* war). To be precise why it felt normal is the fact that comparing to two previous years I managed to see 37 concerts (if I counted correctly my photos on insta) + 2 festivals + managed to get to normal cinema as well (not that I missed that one much with home cinema at home :P). There are definitely some highlights from it as well, from cinema its most notably one of the greatest movie of last years - The Worst Person in the World (J. Trier at his ultimate best), from concerts there are The Armed (the f* best active live band), but there were more like Porridge Radio (who managed to release two masterpieces during covid years), reunited Maybeshewill or Sigur Ros from post rock, Mitski, Birds in Row, my youth nostalgic concerts with Artic Monkeys & Bright Eyes, seeing Nothing live in club and festival, finally seeing Beck, and post-punk highlights from Soft Kill & Fontaines D.C. 

But this piece was supposed to be about my most favorite albums which were released in last 12 months, right? So there is the list:

Mitski - Laurel Hell > I wouldn't mind Mitski taking as many breaks from music industry as she wants, because if after every break she comes with such album as this one, the world for all loners would be brighter place. I could listed to Love me more on repeat for hours!

Porridge Radio - Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky > While Mitski sings “love me more”, Porridge radio are shouting “I don't wanna be loved” in The Birthday Party song, but kind of feels the same. These are the songs that manage to take you back to your teenage years and expressing the same what you felt then and what you feel now when the moment just take overwhelms you. Porridge radio released their debut in spring of 2020 when all the lockdowns started, might be the occasions that I happen to be at those time that it speaks directly to me, or just we have this great band and we can expect much more.

The Beths - Expert in Dying Fields > This indie band is from New Zealand, that all explains probably why on my list right? Kiwi accent is enough :) but even of those who haven't got this thing for Kiwi bands, after bit weaker second album (it happens if your debut rocks), The Beths are back at their best, definitely one of the best indie pop groups you can catch seeing live.

Birds in Row - Gris Klein > Not sure if more adorable are albums of this French trio or their live shows. The more I am listening to their 2022 piece the more hooked I am getting, the same happen to me with their previous one and I believe the same will happen again. 

Rolo Tomassi - Where Myth Becomes Memory > Yes I admit, I cant be objective, I was loving this new album before I heard it, because I was so excited that new album means new live shows and well there are not many things with which you can be 100% sure it will be great, and I know that in February 2023 it will be just fucking great.

Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia > You wouldn't find better representative of post punk these days than these Irish guys, another great album, great show, if you haven't listen to them yet this is a must.

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up Here > This is another band who released magnificent albums fusing all genres that I love during covid. Some may say its bit weaker that first one, but still works. Big shame that the whole line up who stood behind these albums is no longer available to see.

Another notable mentions:

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You

Ithaca - They fear us

Pool Kids - I had them on my Spotify quite often looking back at my statistics :)

Kiwi Jr. - Chopper > their new album was produced by Dan Broecker, it just be must be on my list, right? :D

Dehd - Blue Skies

The Armed - Ultrapop: Live at the Masonic

Lykke Li - EYEYE - its so nice getting older and older with Lykke Li

Caroline - Caroline
