Quote from UNCUT magazine, February 2010. BETH DITTO asks, JARVIS COCKER....
Current mood:

thankful

.. .. .. .. .. .. ....

BETH DITTO:....

"WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO LATELY? AND WHY HAVEN´T YOU CALLED ME BACK?"....

....

JARVIS COCKER:....

"...THERE´S ANOTHER GUY, FROM PORTUGAL, CALLED THE LEGENDARY TIGERMAN, A ONE-MAN ROCKABILLY BAND, WITH A BASS DRUM, SNARE DRUM AND GUITAR. HE USES THREE MICS, ONE NORMAL ONE, ONE WITH A KAZOO AND ONE UNDER HIS NECK. YOU CAN´T IMAGINE TAT ALL OF THAT NOISE IS COMING FROM ONE PERSON. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM WAS IN A PARIS SHOP I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALAN VEGA RECORD I HADN´T HEARD BEFORE."....

....

THANKS, JARVIS. LOOKING FORWARD FOR ANOTHER TOUR!

FEMINA REVIEW ON NEXT BIG THING!!! HOORAY!
Current mood:

blessed

I’m pretty sure that this guy needs no introduction but this project opens up the blues gash and pairs him up with various femme fatales. Imagine Mark Ronson if he had any sense of undulatory gratification. A sleaze noir concept that combines The Cramps stripped down sensibilities with a Rev/Vega/Stereo Total take on Nancy and Lee variations with a couple of shots of Porter Wagoner. The dark side of Dean and Britta.

The Legendary Tigerman is the alter ego of Paulo Furtado and “Femina” (Metronomo/Discos Tigre) is sophisticated minimalism. The visual aspect is captured on a companion dvd with super 8 clips punctuating the ooze and throb of the music. There’s a lot of smoking and I thought a lot about the juxtaposition of how David Lynch shoots cigarettes and how the remake of Gun Crazy carried a certification warning that it showed people smoking. The smoke itself seems to be some kind of metaphor for the way that the music threatens the convention of the typical “one-man band”.

The version of “Lonesome Town” with Rita Redshoes, another Portuguese artist is devastating in its simplicity. This could easily feature in Lynchland somewhere down the road. The streets may be filled with regret but this is really something. It’s like what you read that a Nick Cave record is like but never delivers. “Radio and TV Blues” is “TV Set” turned upside down and inside to be filtered though “Jukebox Babe”. Together with Asia Argento, he’s invented a new genre in argentronica. A virulent sonic mutant analog virus that should tickle any Nico heads out there.

Also conspiring with Paulo is Lisa K (Bellrays), Peaches, Phoebe Killdeer and Becky Lee plus other game ladies. “Femina” deserves to be bigger than that Moby record that was licensed every which way all over the world. It’s a modern sounding record that bonds the past, present and future of twisting the mainstream. And those accents, well those make it doubly exotic, especially Claudia Efe’s performance on “Light Me Up Twice”. Closing with a bizarro world George Formby uke twang take on Daniel J’s “True Love Will Find You In The End”. There’s a strange twinge of hope that’s akin to lighting a paper boat and sending it out.

Cave and Minogue this ain’t. Want to hear something that’s more fun than a whole case of White Stripe(s)? Get in touch with your “Femina” side. Spring for the deluxe edition.

A propósito da entrevista concedida pelo senhor Roy Beloso à revista Brincarapaz...

Sr Rui Veloso, deixe as pessoas honestas em paz! Não compreendo porque o incomoda que artistas portugueses cantem em português, javanês, finlandês ou qualquer outra língua em que se queiram exprimir...

Quer o senhor queira quer não, os artistas portugueses que cantam em português, crioulo, inglês, francês ou brasileiro, fazem todos parte daquilo que nós somos, culturalmente, como povo. Felizmente... Curiosamente, e muito a propósito deste assunto, lembrei-me de uma fantástica conversa que tive em meados de 1990, com ...um Exmo. senhor, Consul de Portugal num país estrangeiro, que passo a relatar:

Consul - A música que vão tocar é em Português ou inglês?
P - Inglês.
Consul - E a letra?
P - (...)

Ps. Garotos e graúdos, vocês têm a vossa merda, eu tenho a minha, quem quer anda com ela na algibeira, quem não quer não anda, mas eu não sou obrigado a andar, senão há merda, right? Juízo.
