For H.
What of this wonder that kisses are
Our kisses neverending.
That sound of taste
Like distant lightning crackling inside our mouths.
Always somewhere new to touch
Always some part of us hooked on another
Legs arms intertwined
Fingers on fingers
Face and beard brushing against skin
Lips and teeth on a shoulder
Ear me, sore and joyous
What music.
What of it?
Hoje na Gulbenkian.
"A Flauta Mágica" foi provavelmente a primeira ópera de Mozart que ouvi completa e, curiosamente, em sueco, no filme de Bergman que assumia, nessa tradução, as intenções do compositor austríaco de fazer uma ópera popular e acessível. A versão concerto de hoje na Gulbenkian é a de René Jacobs com a Akademie Für Alte Musik de Berlim e o RIAS-Kammerchor. Esperam-se maravilhas. Zu Hilfe! zu Hilfe! sonst bin ich verloren!
Abaixo fica um pequeníssimo documentário em que René Jacobs fala da gravação para a Harmonia Mundi e a ópera completa na Royal Opera House de Convent Garden pela mão de Colin Davies.

The National - The Geese of Beverly Road
We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks
Like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car
And whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
We won't be disappointed
We'll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're drunk and sparking, our legs are open
Our hands are covered in cake
But I swear we didn't have any
I swear we didn't have any
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
We're the heirs to the glimmering world
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

Bom fim de semana.

Inspirados em Edward Hopper
A Galeria Saatchi de Londres selecionou no seu site um conjunto de obras que reuniu sob o título genérico "Inspired By Edward Hopper". Sendo os quadros de Hopper tão conhecidos, populares, partilhados e citados, o conjunto arrisca frequentemente a imitação barata ou o simples pastiche, usando aquilo que é mais fácil em Hopper: as cores, o realismo, o lado urbano. Há em alguns, contudo, outros elementos mais difíceis: a solidão desesperada, a violência da alienação, a geometria quase abstrata.
Aqui em baixo, por ordem: BQE Dusk de Daniel Charles Feldman, Street Corner (Long Shot) de Stefanie Schneider, Paul Smith, Melrose Ave, LA (#5) de John Tierney, Reserved Section de Matthew Carter, Bedroom Chair de Stu Sporn, Untitled de Alessandro Pagani.
