YÊ YÊ Radio 3rd Anniversary party Monday 27th @ Praia da Luz, Porto

YÊ YÊ Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app) the radio where my Amazing Songs & Other Delights airs every other Monday turns 3 years old Monday 27th. We’re celebrating at Praia da Luz, in Porto, 7-11pm with DJ sets by Francisco Coelho, Francisco Esp, JoÃŖo Bruschy, JosÊ Amen, Maria Gambina, Pedro Tenreiro, Rui Pimenta and Tugalife.

YÊ YÊ came to be May 27th to signal one year of the departure of our friend Vicente Pinto de Abreu. Vicente was a music, books, film, tv shows, comics lover. Praia da Luz a place he liked and identified with. A place where he and the djs collective he was part of, 7 Magníficos – of which Pedro Tenreiro and Rui Pimenta were also part of – spinned records many times.

I still remember the day of Vicente’s death. The night before, as we often did, we had been talking about films, tv shows, comics. I both were meant to watch and read something to discuss with each other the following evening. There was no following eve.

We are celebration Vicente, YÊ YÊ, radio, music, life, the joy of life and living, the seaside. Come celebrate with us.

Mondo Bizarre Magazine The Reading List

The Reading List – Francisco Silva

Š Francisco Silva

The second Reading List comprises reading choices by my friend, at times co-songwriter, and fellow avid reader Francisco Silva. Francisco laid to rest his old (pun intended) music composition Old Jerusalem and has been taking off in new directions with The June Carriers and Velho Homem. In Francisco’s own words.

Some of my musical reading material.

Warren Ellis – Nina Simone’s Gum: A Memoir of Things Lost and Found is a picaresque story of the amulet engendered by Warren Ellis as an excuse to digress about music, creativity, humanity, etc.

Whyndam Wallace – Lee, Myself & I: Inside The Very Special World Of Lee Hazlewood is Lee Hazlewood’s life story as retold by his former manager, journalist Wyndham Wallace.

Bruce Adams – You’re With Stupid, the Chicago scene and the Kranky label by the quill of one of its founders, Bruce Adams.

Various – Rock Rendez Vous the photos of the iconic Lisbon club (and the portrait of an era).Rob Young – Electric Eden a detailed and multifaceted story of British folk music and its context.

Harold F. Eggers – My years with Townes van Zandt: Music, Genius and Rage” – the uncanny account of Harold F. Eggers’ time as road manager to Townes van Zandt in his prime and beyond it – an assignment that only a Vietnam veteran could tackle.

Ian Preece – Listening to the Wind: Encounters with 21st Century Independent Record Labels. Interviews and profiling of some of the most interesting (obscure?) independent record labels of our time: Light In The Attic, Thrill Jockey, International Anthem, Touch, Sublime Frequencies, Temporary Residence, Important, Paradise of Bachelors, Scissor Tail, among others.

… and two extraordinary graphic novels: the hitherto rare Storyville by Frank Santoro and the amazing Rusty Brown (but it could also be the just as beautiful – if not more so – Jimmy Corrigan) by Chris Ware.
