Little Joy




Little Joy




Today on music, more than music. Little Joy is one of those bands that makes you swing from one side to another. Especially "How to hang a Warhol"(my personal favourite).

The songs are sweet and simple, the melodies are joyful and mellow.
This is one of those CD's you'll never regret buying and you won't stop listening to it!

A bit of bio:

Little Joy is a Brazilian/American rock band formed in 2007 by Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, The Strokes drummerFabrizio Moretti and Binki Shapiro. Amarante and Moretti met in 2006, at a festival in Lisbon where both their bands were performing, and the idea came up to start a new musical project unrelated to their respective bands. In 2007, with Los Hermanos on hiatus "for an undetermined amount of time", Amarante travelled to Los Angeles to collaborate with Devendra Banhart on his Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon album. He and Moretti met during recording breaks and talked about "anything but music." Through mutual acquaintances, they met multi-instrumentalist Binki Shapiro, who encouraged the pair to work on a few songs Moretti had begun writing. The band then moved into a house in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles to write more original music and record some demos. The band was christened "Little Joy" after a cocktail lounge not far from their house. Their eponymous debut album was recorded with the help of producer Noah Georgeson and engineer Beau Raymond, whom Amarante met during his sessions with Devendra Banhart. It was released by Rough Trade Records on November 4, 2008, and was hailed by Pitchfork Media as "one of the sweetest, most listenable, consistently enjoyable records of the season." Their debut album was given four stars by Rolling Stone magazine and Nick Hornby voted it his favourite album of 2008.

Lily Allen: ELLE MAGAZINE August 2010





*click to enlarge

Tonight on Lily Allen's new cover photo shoot for the August Issue of ELLE MAGAZINE.
Stunning shots from the British singer who admits 'giving up' her music career to focus on her 'fashion business' and maybe a baby.
I like her music, but the idea of her starting a retail/hiring vintage shop of her own wardrobe alongside her sister doesn't convince me that much. I think she does great behind the mic though, so why not stick to that? Oh, I get it, it seems that nowadays 'celebrities' are more of a package. But anyway, I'm sure she's going to do great with it, she's a very talented woman with a powerful personality and it wouldn't surprise me if she dazzles us again with her projects.

The store (co-owned by her sister Sarah Owen) will be opening "in September in a quiet street behind London's Oxford Circus" and it's called Lucy in Disguise.

Check out her latest CD "It's not me, It's you" released in February 2009 and includes The Fear, 22, Who'd have known & Not Fair amongst others.

Don't miss this month's issue with a free t-shirt by Paul & Joe Sister.

21st Century Breakdown World Tour 2010




* Click on the photos to enlarge

Ok, my photos are not the best, I was really far away and couldn't see properly so this is what my camera got. Anyway, the huge screens were helpful and you could see everything from there.

Apart from that, the show was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Is the best concert I've ever seen in my life so far (and I've been to a lot)
Billie Joe was astounding, his voice is incredible. Mike, a bit reserved but definitely showed his shocking bass guitar skills. Tré was sensational!!!! Such a performer and breathtaking drummer. LOVED IT!

I've always been a Green Day fan, specially of Billie Joe.
I think he's SMART and HOT

I definitely recommend their cds, there's so much going on there. In my opinion it's not just a punk/rock band, they managed to create a totally different concept of punk music with energetic and really strong lyrics as well as extraordinary songs.
Their most popular cds are: Dookie (1994) American Idiot (2004) and 21st Century Breakdown (2009)
