Good morning. Despite had listened to them and seen them live in the early 2000s, I’ve never really clicked with a Libertines song or album. Until now. Therefore, our Middle of the Week song is Shivers by The Libertines. Have a nice day.
Wolf Manhattan, Mouco, Porto, 24.02.2024.

A contagious happiness, as if was thick fog, immediately came upon the audience. Wolf Manhattanâs cheerful music collides with the time period of its creation – during the pandemic – which leads to believe (I may be wrong) it was a very effective way that JoÃŖo Viera, such an alternative pop music chameleon, found to buffer that distressing period. Among the chaos, an artist soul emerges as one of the best medicines for humanity.
We were given an amusing, intelligent performance, created by sound and improvised theatre. There were rabbits, ghosts and aligattors with raving multiple signs in which shaking your butt dancing, grotesque and fantasy go hand in hand with the rocking of an hypnotic merry-go-round.
As for Wolf Manhattanâs songs, that join juicy electronic pop, alternative indie-pop-rock with a certain beat, Back to Her, Wanna go Back, Voices in My head and, of course, Sometimes attended the celebration. I would have far more to say,but prefer to tie with JoÃŖo Vieiraâs own words to us âI want much more than a concert. A performance, a story, an imaginar, an universe, something different than just a music show.â,grounded, according JoÃŖo, in his be all – David Bowie. And he pulled it off. David Bowie??? â What else!

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #60 – The A Family Affair edition by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro – Monday 26 @ Radio YÊ YÊ.
Amazing Songs & Other Delights #60 The A Family Affair edition by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro airs tomorrow Monday, 26th , 3-4pm (gmt) on YÊ YÊ Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).
The A Family edition programme has songs by brother Renato and I sing together, through WhatsApp, including my niece, Gaïa, favourite song: CançÃŖo de Embalar by JosÊ Afonso.
My brother and Iive over a thousand kilometers apart. We made good use of the fairies of technology. He is usually on speaker, strumming his Takamine or unplugged Les Paul model and singing, I’m not on speaker and or may not, be stunning my, unplugged, Strat model., and singing. Or humming the bass line.
The Beatles grace this post since they are a family affair. Our mum and her sisters, who were teenagers and young women in the 60s,lovec them. The first sing our parents dance to was a Beatles song. As a child I saw Yellow Submarine at least once a year on a movie theater,aming with every time it was shown on television. Help would be another much seen film.
There are two bands with two songs on the programe. The Beatles and Blur. We sing many Beatles and Blur songs. My niece loves Coffee & TV and its video. There is also the most Beatlesnesque song ever, not written by the Beatles, Oasis’ Don’t Look Back In Anger.
