<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018)</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First of all I like Arctic Monkeys. Never been a fan, but it's a fun band to listen, the boys have the right energy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The sad part is that I never listened to a full Arctic Monkeys record, not voluntarily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, it's time to face my demons and do a song for song job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) Star Treatment (4/10)</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some neo-soul, recently used by various artists like Kanye West and Frank Ocean. Looks like a 70's end of party mood, with maybe something written by the Carpenters. Good lyrics, well constructed song, but not for me. Boring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>2) One Point Perspective (5/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This goes on the same ballad, but this time with a more circus mood. Smooth bass, slick guitar. Alex Turner is singing like Edwyn Collins. This songs should produce some kids around the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>3) American Sports (5/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Delicate. Starts like it's glued on the previous song. I'm pretty sure I have listened to something close to this song, but don't know what is. Remembering a lot of Kanye West and David Bowie. Not the most common melody but certainly a 70's AM radio song with a shot of melancholy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>4) Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (6/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The idea flows on the same level as the previous songs, but this time with a touch of U2's One, with a more acid Bono. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Great bass line and wide chorus.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>"Jesus in the day spa, filling out the information form"</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>5) Golden Trunks (3/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The <i>crescendo</i> is over, as well as my hope. E</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">xaggerated production, bigger than Mark Ronson on the Villains, from QOTSA, and on the same level as a Kendrick Lamar albums. Another theatrical song, a Broadway wanna be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>6) Four Out of Five (3/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">More and more and more theatrical songs. Black Heart Procession? Checked. Put everyone on a 50's Cabaret or into the first class of Titanic. That final Sax, man...urgh. Three out of Ten.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>7) The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip (4/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">How not to like a song with this name? Believe me, it is possible. The Annual Fair arrived on the small town, bringing Evel Knievel, the Bearded Woman and a bunch of Kinks' fans. Funny-less.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>8) Science Fiction (4/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another left-over from a B-side horror movie or a low budget play. The cheap costumes of the haunted house </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">characters</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> are torn down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>9) She Looks Like Fun (6/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Number 9 and counting, another same shape song. I don't know why, but I liked this one. She looks like fun and this song could be to.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>"Dance as if somebody's watching, 'cause they are"</i></span></blockquote>
<div>
<b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">10) Batphone (2/10)</b></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There's a batphone on the Adams Mansion, answered by The Thing. Worst song of the album so far.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>11) The Ultracheese (3/10)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The play arrived on the Southern States. The song is not good, but incredible is a fresh breathe on a pale record. At least now I can imagine Patrick Swayze dancing on an old barn saloon. Dirty thoughts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Final Thoughts</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The boys grew up, put great effort on the lyrics and made a record thinking about the possibilities they can open for their own musical future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But besides all the experimentalism and all the extra time in the studio, the final result is a super flat record, soulless and more important, with no climax at all. Good Coke Jazz bass lines, discrete guitar work and drums, while the vocalist flirts with the decadence of the opulence of an era.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Circus, B Movies and Broadway are present, along with your uncle's 75 years barbecue birthday party on 1987.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Producers should be feasted and t</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">he critics </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">should be pleased.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Me? Who cares, but I'm n</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ot willing to listen to this record again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The message here is clear: treat women right.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And this message isn't only for the husbands and other crushes, I guess it applies to sons and to Regular Johns either, because the song is about a hard working women, in a time they didn't work outside homes.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No Gender Equality, no Feminine Empowerment and no Rocket Science. Like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Joan Armatrading and others, Donna Summer just wanted the girls to be respected for their own choices.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anyway, what a longing to hear Donna Summer. It passed.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Column: Brazilian Nuggets*</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>De Falla</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Quando era adolescente sempre tive um pé atrás com relação ao De Falla.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Não sei se foi por pura ignorância, pela impressão de que o Edu K mantinha um triângulo amoroso com os Andrés (Barcinski e Forastieri), da Revista Bizz, ou talvez por eu ter pulado o capítulo do livro que versava sobre a genialidade dos gaúchos** quando da minha formação musical.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A verdade é que eu nunca gostei de nenhuma banda gaúcha. Nenhuma das diferentes gerações me convenceram: Cascaveletes, Engenheiros do Hawaii, Replicantes, Júpiter Maça, Graforreia Xilarmônica, Ultramen não foram feitos para mim. O tido "rock gaúcho" sempre me pareceu mais um nicho muito específico de gosto, completamente fora da minha sintonia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mas é fato que o surgimento de várias bandas como Virna Lisi, Charlie Brown Jr., Comunidade Nin Jitsu e outras tantas da cena nacional dos anos 90 tem a ver com o trabalho do De Falla e com a semente por eles plantada.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Não me questione se isso é bom ou ruim, mas o De Falla e também o personagem mutante Edu K foram uma grande influência para uma galera que queria fazer rock descompromissado e mais experimental, sem destrambelhar para humor farofa de outros grupos como Virgulóides ou Mamonas Assassinas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Então, cabe aqui uma homenagem a um dos maiores grupos do Brasil, quiça do Rio Grande do Sul, já na versão anos 90, copiando Beastie Boys e sendo, posteriormente, copiado pelo Planet Hemp. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Aliás, cópia não, sample.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wheel in the Sky have it all. Great instrumentalists, a great vocalist, great influences, great ideas and a great mood. I guess you understand that they are a great band.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The new record, Beyond the Pale, is even better than the first one and brings the best out of several music styles to fulfill the listeners with flavor and melodies.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"She is the only dead girl in the city"</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However even being that good, the band has not yet reached its peak in terms of songwriting. Beyond the Pale has some excesses, kind of a non complex of prog rock of the 60's / 70's, which seems that fooling around is allowed by the band.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First song, Rivers of Dust, is a good example of that. The introduction and the pale final can make a good song boring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">he "try to be epic thing" is really unnecessary when you have the right tools to put it straight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But, besides that detail, the record is solid rock to inspire souls. The guitar melodies and the vocalist can revival 70's BÖC with great presence and all songs are able to evoke great influences of other bands and music styles from the past without copying it.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"See the creatures working, running the midnight machine"</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope they continue recording and to put more great albums in our Top 30 records, because Beyond the Pale will be in our 2018 list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><b>Bottom line: 8/10 - Because BÖC, Max Webster, Hellacopters, Tommy Tutone, R.E.M., New Wave and 60’s / 70's prog can walk together.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Best Eleven of the 2018 World Cup can beat any team in the world. Amazing squad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Lucas Hernandez (FRA)</span></b> was the surprise. Solid games, assists, tackles and nice passes, but let's face the truth: he is only in the team because the lack of contenders.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let's be honest again: Croatia did a great World Cup, but made two very bad important games: against Denmark and Russia. The team faced elimination in both occasions, being saved by details.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
While the team had its bad moments, <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Luka Modric </span></b>did not. Best player of the Group Stage and a great player on the final rounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But don't worry, there is a bunch of Croatians players (and a non player) on our next honors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The 2017 Headstones are like an archive, that old ones, on heavy iron, highly used, which accumulate all the knowledge of the inner world. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Each one of the multiple drawers contains not only data but blood, sweat and tears of the one who put things there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So you could find on the first drawer high energy Punk mixed with a sleaze Hard Rock and on the second one a lot of 70's Power Pop infused with Indie Rock and Grunge. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Open randomly another drawer and there is Lou Reed blaming at Bob Dylan for never being more radical with Iggy Pop mocking them on the background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the bottom corner, almost forgotten, some 90's southern rock, pop oriented, fulled of passion and rhythm, like the Blues Traveler shoe shining Tom Petty's boot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And it's a not a simple collection of disconnect pieces and parts. All of them have their own personality which are glued together with all the band members influences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The result is a masterpiece, giving the feeling </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">that the record must be the result of a </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">very well fitted </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">band, with each member contributing to the whole process. Smell the synergy of one of the best bands around today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Use this Archive with no restrictions, open all of its drawers and polish it sometimes. It will be with you forever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, don't bother buying this on vinyl because the CD version is just what you need.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bottom line 9/10 - Omnipresent. Mandatory CD.</b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The 2018 World Cup is been called the "surprise cup". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But as we choose our best players of the Group Stage, there was no room for surprises.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We saw a great team, with superb players, who will toast the fans with a lot of skills and desire to win.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>1) Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He has the skills and charisma that can give the opportunity for Mexico to win in the Round of 16.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>2) Kieran Trippier (England)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Playing like a "mid-wing" and fully supplying great crosses for Kane, Stones and others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>3) Thiago Silva (Brazil)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recovered from the last World Cup, the "captain" did a perfect group stage with feet and head. Day after day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>4) José Gimenez (Uruguay)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Uruguay is the only squad to maintain clean sheets in all 3 games and Gimenez is responsible for that, playing even better than Godin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6) </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ivan Strinic (Croatia)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Even being the weakest of this squad, the guy made 1.5 tackles / 5.5 ball cleared / 1 interception / 1.5 dribbles per game, contributing for Croatia which suffered just one goal on the first 3 games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>5) N'Golo Kanté (France)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The man is omnipresent. I want him on my team.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>8) Luka Modric (Croatia)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Arguably the best player of Group Stage. He can tackle, pass and shot. In other words, he makes goals, assists and controls his squad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>9) Isco (Spain)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Spain had most ball possession (67,8%) and pass accuracy (91,3%) of the first round. Not a coincidence that the team is unbeaten in the last 23 games and Isco is one of the most important gears of the "Fury". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">10) Eden Hazard (Belgium)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He can dribble, shot, run with the ball, has power, speed and counting. We are watching a player on his prime. Brilliant first two games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">11) Philippe Coutinho (Brazil)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Decisive in all three games for Brazil. Clutch player with ferocious right leg. He can score more goals and give more assists on next rounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7) Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A hat-trick against Spain? C'mon, Gajo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">30 BEST ALBUMS OF 2017</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are destined to lose. The world is feeding and giving voice to a new generation of people eternally unsatisfied, specialist on everything and incapable to deal with their own problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i>“The epic new year revelation scene”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And they also complain a lot. About the weather, about the opinions in blogs, about the clothes, of football players, about other people and they complain about others complains. They simply complain, it’s in their core. And we can’t avoid them and can’t ignore it, we have to live with that. The revolution of the Z Generation arrived and is tactile like concrete.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i>“Society is the reason why you wanna take drugs”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">People shout out loud the feminine rights, the necessity of a multi racial approaches, love to put rainbows in their pictures, they fight against the domestic violence among many other issues that dominate the media nowadays. Work, study, be polite or simply be a nice man seems old fashioned flags that no one wants to carry and spread. Wait, did I just said “man”? C’mon It doesn't exist anymore in the “genre” society.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i> “You held the secrets, but tell me this time / who is in danger, student or master?”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’m not the asshole against it all, but I’m the one that thinks this is too much, it´s overwhelming. Among other consequences, women now are more inclined to hate men, heterosexuals and homosexuals are becoming mortal enemies and children are being raised under the aegis of the “being bisexual is fine”. Men now are not being educate to not beat in women, they are being conditioned. C’mon, Skinner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i> “Somewhere in the world right now / Some woman is loving you”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All of this maybe or maybe not happens naturally over the next years or generations, but we don’t need to push it by forceps, to put the media radar on this or even to criminalize whose are against it. Doubt? So put something like #Feministsarewrong or #IamHeterosexual on your next twitter to see the chain reaction. You’ll probably lose your job for that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If not enough, people now have opinions about everything, vague ones most of the times, which are still more important than facts itself. The newborns specialists on everything are reaching every corner of society, gaining voice through the social media platforms and, more important, becoming mentors of another group of pseudo-specialists in everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i>"All praise, hail to the genius, streamlined for your convenience"</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We are definitely building a weak f</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">oundation</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> and that is what really matters to the future generations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On the other hand, Rock always accepted everyone. The poor, the toothless, the ragged, the invisible and specially the renegades. Rock don’t judge, don’t interview and don’t fool around… it simply accept. It always accepted and always will, without marketing it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i>“Beware of the toothless man.. he likes to smile”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So welcome, my friend. Underground music seems to be one of the last refuges to the newer times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <i>“All you optimists can kiss my ass… because the future is relentlessly bleak”</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Don't understand me wrong, here are not the worst albums of 2017, but some dull records that deserve an homage from this Blog. You should listen to them.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3) The Biters - The Future Ain't What It Used to Be</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Worthy Power Pop Glam 70’s Rock. Unfortunately the vocals and the production continue disgusting. Disgusting, in case you missed the first one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2) <a href="http://leo-sembola.blogspot.com/2017/08/milk-music-mystic-100s.html" target="_blank">Milk Music - Mystic 100’s</a></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">End of the party mood. Edgy and wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1) Mothership - High Strangeness</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bloddy awful. Where is the fury of the first album and the ignorance of the second one? Heavy Metal Weed.</span><br />

Once there was a guy who loved Morrissey, Jonathan Richman and being dumped by women. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">"David you'll always be a baby brother / You'll always be a mother's son / You'll always be somebody's favorite pupil / But you'll never be a man that I want"</span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The guy was also an indie-poet and a master in multi-rhythm and daily life approaches. Guitars, ukuleles and troubadour melodies getting along with vows of love, 70's movie's dialogues and the theft of coffee machines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
Embrace that with a lovely British accent, a dizzying charisma and an innocent atmosphere to have half of this record geniality for your treat.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>"With Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel<br />Halfway down to Blackpool Tower<br />These words have filled my finest hours<br />Like a bottle of milk they soured"</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">David Tattersall made this record for you. Grab it and never let go.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
