Carl Phillips - Brothers In Arms
The sea was one thing, once; the field another. Either way,
something got crossed, or didn’t. Who’s to say, about
happiness? Whatever country, I mean, where inconceivable
was a word like any other lies far behind me now. I’ve
learned to spare what’s failing, if it can keep what’s living
alive still, maybe just
awhile longer. Ghost bamboo that
the birds nest in, for example, not noticing the leaves, color
of surrender, color of poverty as I used to imagin...

Sir András Schiff Masterclass
Ontem, Sir András Schiff deu um concerto que a mim, leigo, me pareceu notável, na Gulbenkian. Na primeira parte, misturou Bach e Bartók, na segunda, uma sonata de Janáček e outra de Schumann.

Carl Phillips - Anyone Who Had A Heart
I know a man who routinely asks
that I humiliate him. It’s sex, and it isn’t—
whatever. For him, it’s a need, the way
brutality can seem for so long a likely
answer, that
it becomes the answer—
a kindness, even, and I have always
been kind, for which reason it goes
against my nature to do what he says, but
there’s little in nature that won’t, with
enough training, change…
After it’s done,
if the weather’s good, we...

Controller
Hercules & Love Affair return to the fray with Controller, a pulsing, propulsive new song that signals the first salvo from their long-awaited new album. Featuring The Horrors’ Faris Badwan on vocals, it takes the Hercules’ disco-house heritage and fuses it with starker more experimental stylings.
A taster both sonically and aesthetically of the new album, 'Controller' connects new wave, post-punk and 80s electro within the clubland realm of Hercules & Love Affair. Hearing the The Ho...
