Divagações sobre identidade.
Talvez eu seja uma personagem do Woody Allen. Minha vida, um filme do Woody Allen. Bem-vindo à minha atmosfera. Mas se você quiser saber quem eu sou, além de isso acontecer naturalmente, e por forças maiores, vai ter sua opinião, e ela difere de pessoa para pessoa. só saberemos depois.

Mc Carthy Trenching, a melhor banda que ninguém conhece

Ok, admito que conheci Mc Carthy Trenching num blog muito indie por acaso. Desde então, acho que sou a maior fã brasileira deles.Será? O dono do blog também era brasileiro, acabou como um link perdido. Embora eu tenha ido ao show dos caras sozinha em NY, pedido autógrafo, tietado e tudo. O fato é que a banda de Omaha (EUA), Mc Carthy Trenching é country contemporâneo, indie, debochado. As letras são cotidianas, debochadas, românticas, frustradas, o velho modern love, mas com fina e ácida poesia. Nas letras de Mc Carthy, em particular, há uma exaltação à boêmia.  .

Oh Nancy é um suposto recado para uma namorada. Diz que o cara está fazendo todas as coisas que ela detesta, ficando acordado até tarde, bebendo demais. Pura zorra.

"Oh Nancy, I’m sorry, we’re doing things you despise:
Pinball and poolhalls and getting drowsy while we drive.
I’ve got a few thick books with me, but they haven’t come in handy yet
Unless like that old Russian, you’re rolling your own cigarettes.
I don’t know what I’m doing, but I know where I am:
On the road in a 15-passenger van.
Oh Nancy, I’m sorry, we’re doing things you abhor:
Whiskey when you want it, and beer when you’re bored.
I could make the excuse that it makes my brain numb,
But the beer ain’t doing nothin’ the road ain’t already done.
Oh Nancy, I’m sorry, we’re doing everything you hate:
Staying up till hours that ain’t even late.
Smoky motel rooms with two men to a bed –
Don’t tell me about the folly of being comforted.
We kill time and make time, and spend time and save time,
Waste time and pass time and keep time in stop time.
Oh Nancy, I’m sorry, I’m doing things you don’t like:
Spending all my money any given Monday night.
I’m not proud to admit it, but I’ve been hanging around bars
Where the girls aren’t too pretty, but they leave their clothes in the car.
I know what I’m doing, I’m becoming an old man
On the road in a 15-passenger van."


The most Attractive Disguise
.... Poesia

"I was talking with a friend who said
The truth ain't always pleasant
but sometimes it's simple.
Some folks are better off single
Because they're always falling in love
Not me, I've given it up - 

And loneliness ain't half as bad
as being with someone who's making you sad.
No matter how dark it gets at night,
at least you're the one who turns out the lights.

My friend is not a bitter man,
but he will brook no bullshit
and he's not chasing stardust.
He says when he's working the hardest,
it looks like he's doing nothing at all.
He's boiling the oceans for salt.

And don't we deceive ourselves a little bit,
when we convince ourselves we deserve to be kissed?
It's what's left out and the little white lies
that make the most attractive disguise."



Procurem no YouTube. Tem muitas coisas geniais, inclusive um cover da Beyoncé para quem não gosta de Beyoncé! 
Enfim, é uma banda voltada à palavra e ao indie country, folks!
