Hi and good afternoon with Might Have, Might Not Have by Brian Bilson and the Catenary Wires.
God Is An Astronaut, Casa da MÃēsica Porto, 08.10.2025.
words: Neno Costa (freely translated by Raquel Pinheiro); drawings: Neno Costa
God Is an Astronaut returned to Casa da MÃēsica, three years after their last appearance in 2022- this time Sala Suggia â offering, true to form, yet another magnificent concert.
The Irish trio emerged following a virtuosic solo performance by cellist Jo Quail, who accompanies the band on this voyage, enriching their sound without in the slightest disturbing the post-rock atmosphere. A realm ruled by the voices of instruments and the crafting of vast, interpretative landscapes.
The sonic voyage began with Falling Leaves, opening the passage into their latest work, Embers (2024). The distinctive picking of Torsten Kinsellaâs guitar slipped forth like an invitation to the senses, soon joined by the other instruments to form a scene traversed like an emotional roller-coaster, with epic downpours and nostalgic sunsets. The well-tempered bass of Niels Kinsella and the band’s new drummer Anxo Silveira wove an intricate, enveloping dialogue, further expanded by Jo Quailâs contribution.
It was a solid, soaring performance that carried the audience on a cosmic voyage through highlights of their eleven-album career. With the indispensable All Is Violent, All Is Bright seasoning an already rich setlist, and closing, ouroboros-like, with From Dust to Beyond (2002).

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 85 – The Of Love & Loss edition by Raquel Pinheiro
My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 85 – The Of Love & Loss edition airs Monday October 6, and repeats Monday October 13, 3-4pm (London time) on YÊ YÊ Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).
Of Love & Loss is a self-explanatory title. Originally, that was not how this edition was going to be called. Maybe it would have been called The Mild Ones edition. The Mild Ones are a wonderful Suede fan group of which I am part of, and there are several Mild Ones on this edition – Mark Robin White (A 90s new man called Stan), Bettina Korn, James Mediocre (The Vinegar Tasters), Simon Gilbert (Suede).
Or maybe it was going to be called something else. Bettina’s cover of John Denver’s Annie’s Song was certain, regardless of the name thos edition of Amazing Songs & Other Delights would have. Monday, September 30, Ian Pye posted Suede’s Daddy’s Speeding to the group.
I was reminded of how great the song is, and listened to it a few times, because the song has a very interesting musical change, and selected as one of my International Music Day for The Polymath.
A couple of days latter I was listening to it on repeat for very different reasons. Curve balls. Life, love, loss. The other songs were already in though for this edition, or came as soundscape of feelings and emotions.
Most of the songs aren’t necessarily about love. Or loss. They aren’t all gloomy, far from it. Daddy’s Spending does sits at the center, with its music, vocal, words, highly charged emotional landscape, but the songs before and after offer a full picture of a week filled with changes.
To lighten things a bit, in the spirit of Wally, can you spot Bernard Butler, (other than in Suede)?âĻ
