In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

Album of the Month! In which we get spooky with Oingo Boingo

And here we are, on a Tuesday, a day out of my schedule, so we could see the album of the month!! Also, on Halloween's eve, and on the eve of the month of November, so much going on! This week is being busy and we're yet on its second day! 
Good night to you dear reader? How are you today and how things are going? As usual, I wish you the best, and I do hope everything is going fine for you, on this Halloween eve. I hope you're on a nice cozy place, as for me, I'm frying because the heat here is no joke. But things will be fine and I think this week has a lot of potential already! My Monday was not too bad, and today was not a bad day either, though busy and all that, like I had this work to do for college, that I still have not finished. And also I want to be on my best Halloween mood... how I wish this Holiday could be more popular in Brazil... but anyway, moving on.
I wanted to pay some tribute to Halloween by giving the album of the month to one of my favorite bands that I discovered ths year, Oingo Boingo! The album that I chose I already have listened to it a couple times before, but today was the day I actually sat down to listen to all the songs and Oh My God, it is too good! So this is not only an homage to this spooky time, it's also really a upbeat awesome record! Here's to BOI-NGO!!


I'm still getting to know this band, but the more I know the more I like it! The first time I made a post about it I unfortunately got the name of the song wrong by a grammar mistake, I only realized it later, but in the end I decided to keep the mistake there, I'm not perfect, and this blog is not about that (though I like to correct everything and do everything fine and all that, ANYWAY, moving on). 
Boi-ngo, released on 1987, definitely has the 80's feel that I love about the band, it's not as spooky as Dead Man's Party, but still has a lot of personality and a heavy synth-pop feel to it, and since I love lots of kinds of pop, including specially synth-pop, it suited me quite nicely! The songs really catches you in so many levels, from the melody, to the amazing voice of Danny Elfman, one that I cannot stress enough, is amazing, and even from the lyrics! It is individual and has a lot of personality, something I think Halloween is all about, it ends up being a celebration of personality and individuality, and fancy creepy stuff, something you can also feel on the songs of the album, my personal favorite is Where Do All My Friends Go, but honestly, all the songs are amazing!!! I could not recommend this one enough, and if you guys have the interest, you can also look more about this very cool band! I'll definitely write more about it later on! And if you don't have Spotify, do not distress, for I have the Youtube link to it right here!

And this is it for today! Thank you so much for being here, dear reader, and reading this! What a week already! See you guys tomorrow so we can celebrate Halloween and say Goodbye to October together! Yahoo
