The Real Tuesday Weld – One of THOSE bands that gets stuck on repeat

minha galera — Fri, 08 May 2009 13:10:35 +0000

Sometimes you feel like you know this music from somewhere and you listen to it on and on, trying to figure out where you know it from until it becomes so familiar like it’s been with you from the beginning.

The real tuesday weld is one of those bands that, if you were in highschool again, you would carve its name on the table, graffiti your favourite tune on the wall and faint when seeing the lead man on stage, on TV.

A little bit of drama, cabaret and reverie….

The band has a very interesting biography, which starts like this:

This is a story of dreams mixed with reality.

I grew up in an old fashioned house where Thirties British dance band music was played (along with a dash of easy listening). I was very reserved -- I played the recorder, piano and trumpet and I read mythology. I developed a prediliction for hallucinogens and became a cross dresser. I was a student at the Royal College of Art in London, dabbled a little with music but started to meditate and decided to become a Buddhist monk. I spent four months in the Spanish mountains abstaining from drink, drugs and debauchery on the path to enlightenment. I came down. I really came down. I collapsed into a psychic heap, split with my paramour and entered into a shadow world. I began to study Jung and James Hillman and to pay attention to my dreams. I visited a shaman and had a series of very strange experiences in London and in the Cambrian mountains in West Wales.

One night I had a very strong dream in which the British crooner Al Bowlly appeared to me in Piccadilly circus. I took it as an omen that I needed to become a musician. The next night I dreamt of the actress Tuesday Weld

Today I am in the mood for a sound that can soothe my aches, and bossa seems to do it. CéU reminds me of the days when Brazilian music was the equivelant for music to make love to your old lady by (not in the Lovage way). She has a warm, gentle voice that matches perfectly the trippy, chilli sounds. Enjoy

Bela Lugosi’s dead – Bauhaus vs Nouvelle Vague

minha galera — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:00:23 +0000

A character as tragic as his roles. Iconic, intriguing, irritating, haunting -- Bela Lugosi (born on now Romanian territory -- Lugoj) was cursed to play the role of Dracula all his life. Unable to detach his image from that of a monster he slowly started to embrace it. This is why we find him as an old man playing Dracula sketches and as a final legacy to horror movies, playing in Ed Wood’s movies, characters that are beyond pathetic -- to the point that you hang them on your wall.
