E agora as férias.

Rip It Up & Start Again.

"You don't need us to tell you what a mess the world is in. We'll leave that to the Financial Times and their mates. Instead of dwelling on how bleak everyone's futures are, Dazed & Confused and our global team of contributors want to shout about people who are refusing to let their creative dreams get suffocated by a bunch of fat cats. The new issue of Dazed profiled a group of thirty five young creative entrepeneurs who are more determined than ever to make something new and cool happen on their own terms. From indie record label bosses and DIY zine publishers to fashion designers, art curators and even a guy who cooks chicken for club hipsters, we've chosen these individuals and collectives because their originality and enthusiasm is truly inspiring. If ever there was a time to rip up the rulebook and start again, this is it. What's stopping you?"

"USA. New York City. Marlene Dietrich at the recording studios of Columbia Records, who were releasing most of her songs she had performed for the troops during World War II, including Lili Marlene, Miss Otis Regrets. She was 51 years old and starting a come-back in show business.It was a wet and cold November night and work could only begin at midnight, at the advise of Marlene's astrologer."

Folk Issues.

My love she speaks like silence, 

Without ideals or violence,
She doesn't have to say she's faithful,
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.
People carry roses,
Make promises by the hours,
My love she laughs like the flowers,
Valentines can't buy her.

In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future,
My love she speaks softly,
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all.

The cloak and dagger dangles,
Madams light the candles.
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even the pawn must hold a grudge.
Statues made of match sticks
Crumble into one another,
My love winks, she does not bother,
She knows too much to argue or to judge.

The bridge at midnight trembles,
The country doctor rambles,
Bankers' nieces seek perfection,
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring.
The wind howls like a hammer,
The night blows cold and rainy,
My love she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing.

About Nappies.

"You know pop music is about 'I love you forever let's run away together'," he explained. "I've done that bit, I've run away forever and I'm on the next thing now which is, 'Look, we've run away together, here we are surrounded by nappies - where's the violins?"
