“Sebbene
PREFERISSE
indiscutibilmente
il fascino di una scarpa
più elegante,
non gli dispiaceva affatto,
anzi, ne era persino attratto…
dal MODO in cui ella portasse,
quel… per niente FEMMINILE capo.”

Un giorno chiesero al grande matematico persiano Al-Khawarizmi sul valore dell’essere umano, così rispose: “Se ha Etica, allora il suo valore è 1. Se in più è intelligente, aggiungete uno zero e il suo valore sarà 10. Se è ricco, aggiungete un altro zero e il suo valore sarà 100. Se, oltre tutto ciò è una bella persona, aggiungete un altro zero e il suo valore sarà 1000. Però se perde l’uno, che corrisponde all’Etica, perderà tutto il suo valore perché gli rimarranno solo gli zeri.”

Il tacco non fa la femminilità.
È l’andatura di alcune donne che rende il tacco femminile.
Chi è femminile lo è anche da scalza.

With a New Album on the Way, the Drums Return to NYC
Tumblr media
The Drums – Webster Hall – August 3, 2003
Jonny Pierce isn’t sure how long it’s been since he was here performing in New York City. He’s an artist, he said, and time and dates are not his strong suit. But whatever, it’s been a while, and he is kvelling. The Drums’ first show was at a bakery (Cake Shop) with backup singers, years ago, and NYC just got it, he said. We still do, as was apparent at Webster Hall on Thursday night, when the band took the stage to clear mania that never let up. Pierce and the Drums make special music, maintaining a devoted fan base years on — and after a majority of band members left somewhat soon into the whole project. But it’s deserved: He still sounds terrific. 
Pierce is a showman’s showman. He is, first of all, immaculate, a David among frontmen. And he’s a delicious dancer. Touching his hips ever so come-hither-y, throwing back his head in ecstasy and sauntering with something like grace to his California surf rock–meets–the Smiths. He’s the embodiment of the yearning that drives the Drums. On “Book of Revelation” (Portamento, 2011), he crooned, “And I believe / That when we die, we die / So let me love you tonight.” On “What You Were” (Portamento), he sang, “I knew I was wrong / I knew I would die / But still I cave in.”
But there’s a delightful silliness too. “Let’s Go Surfing,” off their 2010 self-titled debut album, and “Money,” the out-and-out Portamento hit, are cheeky, youthful odes. “I want to buy you something,” he sang in a vaguely Interpol tenor, “but I don’t have any money,” he falsetto-ed, the crowd mimicking it back to him.
Pierce’s latest for the Drums, Jonny, drops in October, and he played a bunch of the newer tunes, like “Plastic Envelope” and “Obvious,” a love song that fits right in with its compatriots, last night. The encore ended with the upcoming LP’s banger, “I Want It All,” of the pining why-why-why genre that gives way to a shimmering chorus: “I want it all, I want it all, I want it.” Watching the Drums made me remember how much I missed bands like them, solidly danceable and eminently singable. The Drums are forever pulling on my heartstrings. —Rachel Brody | @RachelCBrody

Portamanto: An album for a broken heart
The Drums sophomore album Portamento has probably all the words your broken heart needs to hear.
From not having money to buy something to your beloved one to begging not to end a relationship, The Drums takes their fans to a wild ride describing the five stages of grief.
The record works with life and death metaphors in order to explain what a loss mean to the human soul. Also, love, anger and sadness are pretty much the topics Jonathan Pierce (singer) is going to sing about throughout twelve gloomy tracks.
Compared to their previous albums, this one, in particular, has a lighthearted instrumentation based on bass lines and synths. The records feels to light to listen when you most need peace.
Down below, songs that I highly recommend listening to:
Money
I Don’t Know How to Love
Hard to Love
Please Don’t Leave
I Need a Doctor

In honor of final dress night for Cavalleria, perhaps my favorite score note of all time.
This one (from the same chorus) is good too:
