Porque histórias de fadas não acontecem apenas no multiculturarismo britânico, no sábado, fui ver Seu Jorge no coliseu do Porto. Fiquei bastante admirado com a enchente. O som estava muito mal. Gostaria de ver Seu Jorge numa sala mais intimista.
Depois do espectáculo, fomos jantar. Passada uma hora, regressámos ao Coliseu para ir aos Maus hábitos (um bar em frente ao Coliseu). Tivemos a sorte de encontrar na rua o Seu Jorge quando estava a abandonar o local. Por graça, pedimos-lhe um autógrafo. O homem foi simpático, mas estava completamente esgotado.
Dois álbuns que merecem a minha atenção neste princípio de Outono:
The very Best - Warm Heart of Africa: quando um álbum de música africana é editado pela Moshi Moshi estamos perante um fenómeno ou mais uma história de fadas do multiculturalismo, britânico, claro:
Esau Mwamwaya was born in Mzuzu in Malawi,
Foi na 6 mix do Dr' Alex Paterson, dos the Orb, que ouvi, pela primeira vez, a obra-prima de Carl Craig & Moritz Von Oswald - Recomposed Vol. 3 - editada pela Deutsche Grammophon. Provavelmente, o melhor disco de 2008.
Carl Graig é, sem dúvida, um dos músicos mais influentes do Sex XXI, ao lado de Brian Eno, por exemplo. Infelizmente, em Portugal é, simplesmente, desconsiderado como tal.
Mas pensem só nas diferenças, ao nível de programação e produção, entre isto e o tipo de São Tomé. 
Este fim-de-semana, na televisão, o El Buscador foi o meu programa preferido. Trata-se de um programa de informação à espanhola : programa de reportajes de investigación, de servicio público y de corte social. O que me surpreendeu neste programa foi o tom gozão e divertido das reportagens. Ao contrário do que eu pensava, em Espanha, este género de famosos são vistos como figuras ridículas e estúpidas que merecem um tratamento à sua altura. Em suma não passam de personagens de entretimento.
The album begins with the meditative strains of the epic "Journey to Serra da Estrela" which erupts into a driving synthesized force, and foreshadows the arrival of "Testimony", in which Jaleel Bunton (TV on the Radio) provides a fiery psychedelic guitar backdrop for Aurelio Valle's (Calla) voodoo incantations. Carol C (Sí Se) lends her considerable vocal talents to the forthcoming single "You'll Disappear", a cosmic disco floor-filler that sets the stage for The Lady Tigra's (L'Trimm) jump-rope rhymes on the soon-to-be classic summer jam, "15 to 20".
Live, The Phenomenal Handclap Band is distilled to an eight-member powerhouse, an eye-popping spectacle that overwhelms the senses. It pulses with a savage rhythm section that provides the ultimate foil for cascading guitars and electrified washes of organ and synthesizers. Their delirious sermonizing whips crowds into a charismatic frenzy. Needless to say, their live shows are more akin to a spiritual church revival than an actual rock show.
Reviews:'With an old-school Sly & The Family Stone funky shuffle multiplied by a Tom Tom Club New Yoik sass, you don't need to do any maths to know this is ace!' - NME
'With their multitudinous influences, blending funk, soul, reggae, dance, hip-hop and Brazilian beat, as well as rock, disco and electro, they encapsulate the spirit of the Brooklyn underground.' - The Sunday Times Culture
'This New York collective puts the five-times table to work over playground funk that splits the difference between the Tom Tom Club, CSS and the Go! Team.' - Guardian
'This collaboration between two NY DJs and a revolving group of members (including some from TV on The Radio and Mooney Suzuki) defies categorization, making it the perfect soundtrack for a Sunday afternoon barbeque, or a Monday morning wake-up call.' – ESQUIRE
Glamorous, talented and decidedly unconventional, Lee Miller led one of the most fascinating lives of the 20th century. A model for Vogue in 1920s New York, pupil and lover of Man Ray in Paris and the only female photojournalist covering the Second World War, her photographic work encompassed striking surrealist images and shocking reportage from Dachau. Having given up photography in later life and virtually disowned her work, Miller's extraordinary archive of 40,000 negatives was only rediscovered after her death in 1977.
George Melly, David Hare, Miller's friends and colleagues and her son Tony Penrose trace the story of her life through her own pictures, photographs of Miller herself and rarely-seen archive footage.

Last week I witnessed an event that I believe will transform this country and theConservative Party, and put an end to the ideology that has dominated
It took place in the unlikely setting of the Polish Centre in Hammersmith,
They did not look like an audience to instigate revolution. From where I sat in the balcony above, the majority appeared to be over 50 years old. All were white. Yet out of four strong candidates, they chose the most unlikely.
Shaun Bailey is a 35-year-old, powerfully built, black man, brought up by a single mother on the notorious
Yet this largely middle-class, white audience enthusiastically voted Shaun as their representative to fight to unseat the local Labour MP at the next general election.
This was not just a vote for multicultural
The audience chose a man who stands for everything that focus groups tell the Conservative leadership lost them the last election. Shaun Bailey believes in marriage, education, self-reliance and the control of immigration. He is against liberalising the drugs laws. He is against liberalism, full stop.
Change
As a youth worker, he deals every day with the damage liberalism has caused.
When accused of being Rightwing by the audience, he replied: 'To a young person like myself, Left and Right-wing are old terms. If to believe deeply in the importance of education and standing on your own two feet is Right-wing, then I am not ashamed to say it... I am Rightwing.'
His background, his work and his conviction gives his beliefs a unique authority. He is important to the party because he gives the Conservatives back the courage to be Conservative. It is a courage the present Tory leadership appear to have mislaid.
Instead, they have been obsessed with focus groups who have warned them that the greatest threat to the party is the defection of voters to the Lib Dems. Hence the slew of ecofriendly, liberal policy announcements that have been designed to appeal to that narrow band of the population who read the Guardian and the Independent.
The audience at the Hammersmith selection vote demonstraasted that they have a rather more important set of priorities - and in so doing performed a feat of political imagination that has eluded the Conservative leadership.
Hammersmith Conservatives are fighting a marginal seat which has both the fourth highest property prices in the country and, at the other extreme, a third of its population earning less than £10,000 a year.
They understood that to survive, let alone regain power, the Conservative Party has to strike out into the unknown.
So, in a close and exciting runoff between Shaun and the candidate I thought bound to win - a well-spoken and impressive young, blond, banker - the audience chose Shaun.
The party needs to find new voters. Shaun promises to deliver them. He said: 'I tell people on the estates: "You might not have heard of the Conservative Party. You might never have voted in an election before. But come the General Election, you will be voting Conservative.'
He and the Hammersmith Conservatives who voted for him have understood the importance of an entirely new source of votes - our fast-growing immigrant communities.
Many of these communities - with their belief in hard work, discipline in schools and the importance of the family - are natural Conservative voters. But several different leaders of immigrant communities have complained to me, the Conservative Party largely ignores them.
At the moment, the present Conservative leadership are making the mistake of fighting the next election with the tactics that won Labour the last one.
So we have a lookalike Blair leader, lookalike Blair policies and shadow ministers who treat Labour poll guru Lord Gould's book on Blair's victory in '97, The Unfinished Revolution, as their bible.
Confidence
It is a pity. An appeal to immigrant communities would allow the Conservative leadership to take pride in traditional Conservative values, rather than be ashamed of them. It would let them retain, rather than alienate, core voters and discover votes in places never reached by Conservatives before.
In other words, it would allow David Cameron to repeat the success of Margaret Thatcher when she sold off council houses and won over crucial new voters to the Conservative Party in the early 1980s.
Shaun Bailey, with his common sense, his ability to appeal to a wide electorate and his confidence, I believe is the 21stcentury face of Thatcherism.
All this is a bit far ahead for the Hammersmith Conservatives. Here and now they just want to win the seat.
As Mark Loveday, deputy chairman of the local Conservatives, said: 'We are looking for a fighter. If we win seats like this, we will probably put David Cameron into government.'
Yet the election of Shaun Bailey promises more than that - it could transform politics in this country by dispelling the prevailing liberal consensus.
He lays bare the myth that a vote for the Labour Party is a vote for the vulnerable and excluded in society. In fact, the liberal ideology so promoted by this government has hit these groups the hardest.
As Shaun remarked: 'The more liberal we've been, the more the poor have suffered. Poor people don't need all this liberalism. They need direction.'
Liberal views on drugs, discipline in schools and the family may appeal to the bien pensants of Islington. But for the poor on the estates where Shaun works, the consequences have been dire, with young boys sinking into a lifetime of crime and addiction.
Direction
The selection of Shaun Bailey also dispels the notion the Conservatives are the 'nasty party', with closet racist tendencies.
Looking directly at the former Labour mayor and leader of the council who was seated in the hall (in a curious quirk of these primaries, they are allowed to attend and vote), Shaun said: 'Vote for me because if I win, I am their very worst nightmare. There is nothing they can say against me.'
Indeed, all the contenders at the Hammersmith vote were refreshingly unexpected.
Two were women, one a lawyer of mixed-race who had started her own legal firm, the other, from a gipsy family of six children, had read law at
And for all my criticism of them, it was the Conservative leadership who made the election of Shaun Bailey possible, by introducing these 'open primaries' whereby candidates are whittled down to a final selection of four by the local Tory party members.
These finalists then attend a public meeting where anyone on the local electoral roll is entitled to quiz the contenders, and vote for their preferred candidate. It may seem a high-risk strategy, but it works.
In the bar afterwards, most of the audience appeared utterly exhilarated by what they had witnessed, as was I.
Yes, it was only one constituency. But this was not just about the selection of a new parliamentary candidate. It signified the rebirth of the Tory grass roots - and changed the political landscape for the better.
Para que conste: se, algum dia, eu morrer num acidente de avião quero que os meus amigos e familiares digam aos jornalistas que eu era apenas uma pessoa banal.
Se calhar, em vez de andarem à procura das vítimas do voo AF 447 da Air France debaixo de água deveriam procura-los no céu. Porque parece que só iam anjos a bordo.
