It's Not Rock'N'Rio


In few weeks time I'm going to São Paulo for a big event: Lollapalooza. Well, it's a music event. Ok, I should have said I'm going to a MUSIC event, but, no problem. This is a big event for me. 

I always thought this would be the ultimate music event, since I started listening to rock music, probably, international rock music. I'm a fan of alternative music, mostly. It's rock, indeed, but, perhaps, it's more creative and I like it. 

Alternative is all you can find in Lollapalooza. The festival started out in 1991 as a farewell tour to Jane's Addiction - band of the festival's founder, Perry Farrel - and it is still on till this day, however, on and off over the years. The main thing about Lollapalooza is the fact it gathers different styles of music, which allures people with diverse music taste. This is my case.

The first Lolla in Brazil was last year, 2012, but I don't like Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys that much, also, didn't have the cash. So It's ok now. There's Black Keys, Planet Hemp, Nas, Killers among the main attractions. I hope it keep up to my expectations. 

I really like to watch bands live, and I've been to many concerts before. When there's nothing going on in your life, you know it's time to do something different and travel a bit, or go to a rock concert (pfff, if life would be that simple). If it's both combined then it's more than fine!

I should only take it easy because I did a knee surgery not long ago, and three days of fun call for attention to my health. Well, the doctor said to take pain reliever and apply some ice in case pain occurs. Thanks, Dr! See you all!

What is what I need

What a weekend. After studying my ass off for a while, I got some time off watching Nirvana's specials on MTV all along. Yeah, I don't listen to those tunes anymore, they don't play on the radio as well, so get to watch/ listen them back again felt really good.


At the moment I'm tracking down whatever Nirvana tunes were released until now. I'm also listening to other bands from the 'Grunge' years - it represents a lot to me. It was a breath of fresh air listening to Nirvana and bands that came after, cuz there was nothing really innovative at that time - at least of what was available!


This celebration of Nevermind can be checked here too; it's a Spin magazine special for the curious ones, hehe. I'll drink to that! Cuz it's always good to listen to great music.
