Música sem imagens

A música sempre foi sobre sons. Há cerca de 30 anos passou também a ser acerca de imagens. Não que isso seja negativo, mas recentemente, em muitas situações a imagem tomou uma importância despropositada (principalmente quando não acrescentam nada) chegando a abafar ou até a personificar a música. A boa música (aquela de que gostamos) será sempre só sobre sons. Não precisa de mais nada.

Tudo isto a propósito dos videos do youtube que tenho postado aqui. Só são videos porque não sei como partilhar da mesma forma só os sons. As imagens aqui são secundárias e desnecessárias. E até "perigosas".

To love somebody



Don't think twice, It's alright

Talvez já tenham reparado mas ando com um certo 'lag' musical que me tem feito procurar e descobrir sons do "passado". Tenho tido algumas surpresas e muitos momentos bem passados ao som da intemporalidade que sao as emoções.
Acho que vou partilhar os outros aqui também. Depois.
Agora... oiçam só. Se quiserem.
Talvez nos cruzemos numa das notas da guitarra ou da voz carregada de história... (Nao é estranho como a voz dele parece ter sempre 60 anos?)

Para rir

Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, "No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?" Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or the blind person?
The Washington Post

Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate various important occasions, they're killing living creatures? Why restrict it to plants? "Sweetheart, let's make up. Have this deceased squirrel."
The Washington Post

Why is it when you turn on the TV you see ads for telephone companies, and when you turn on the radio you hear ads for TV shows, and when you get put on hold on the phone you hear a radio station?

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy, where the fuck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?
George Carlin, Ten Things That Piss Me Off

When people say "It's always in the last place you look." Of course it is. Why the fuck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?
George Carlin, Ten Things That Piss Me Off

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning, inches above the ground. With a giant buttered-cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

A minha preferida, um verdadeiro momento Seinfeldiano:

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating... then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen.
George Costanza, Seinfeld
