E porque parar é morrer, os The Gift lançaram já o seu novo álbum, o sucessor de "Explode" (La Folie). Este chama-se "Primevera" e foi ontem lançado, dia 9 de Janeiro. " Pegar nas melodias que há muito existiam mas que o tempo ou a ausência de tempo as fizeram esperar. Onde colocaria eu o medo de as gravar. O medo antigo de gravar. E o receio da incompreensão. E o medo da pressão. E os medos cresceram. E os medos perderam-se. Perderam-se porque a força que o piano me transmitia, cada vez que o ouvia, [...]

The Gift es un grupo que lleva bastantes años en el mercado y que es famoso por su curiosa mezcla de estilos en una fórmula que tiene tintes de rock alternativo, electrónica, e incluso un término medio, algo de synth pop.

Si no los conocéis estáis de enhorabuena, porque además de escuchar sus trabajos en Spotify –de verdad, dadle una escucha [...]

For the foodie in your life, check out this roundup of some of my own favorite kitchen gadgets and accessories. 10. Mortar and Pestle Way more old school than an electronic spice grinder, a mortar and pestle adds a DIY feel to the kitchen. I use mine for grinding cloves, muddling mint for mojitos, and unleashing pent up aggression. They come in all shapes and sizes (mine is tiny, proportional to the size of my kitchen), and are made of everything from wood to marble. I [...]

Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to gift children something early, film them opening it and again, upload the results. The catch: the gift has to be terrible. Parents got to work and wrapped all kinds of horrible things for their excited kids including a battery, an onion, a half-eaten PBJ sandwich, a Waffle House hat and more. The children's confused (and sometimes angry) reactions are hilarious.

Take a look at some of the most popular holiday toys through the past 6 decades, and the price tags that match the times.

Thursday night's bill at Lee's Palace was one that featured two artists with extremely contrasting performing styles, making for a rather interesting night. Opening the show was Portugal's The Gift . Never heard of them? Me neither. However, there were a few people who have. Probably Portuguese. The Gift has been around for seventeen years, financed and recorded five albums and won a MTV Europe award before. There show here was probably a long awaited one by a small legion of fans here in Toronto, which meant the crowd for the Gift won the following: [...]

Check out Rolling Stone Magazine's 2011 Rock & Roll Holiday Gift Guide featuring the best audio tech, gadgets, box sets and books for the ultimate music fan. Here are some of my favorites: The iVictrola's steampunk mash-up of high- and low-tech uses the flared brass horns from vintage gramophones to create one-of-a-kind iPad and iPhone docks. They're so popular that they sold out almost immediately from catalogs like Anthropologie and Design Within Reach. Made-craft is still accepting orders, however, and designer Matt Richmond says Anthropologie should [...]

You should not spend your hard-earned money in community low-priced present shops. Discover what your journey area is recognized for, and obtain quality merchandise or two. Though, present stores is likely to be less expensive, they produce the notion that vacationers don't know what they are paying for and take advantage of of it. You might be generally presented products and solutions which might be badly manufactured and therefore are certain to break apart once you go back home. To avert becoming conned by community people, purchase some thing of top quality. In case you are purchasing [...]
