2011: o ano da crise financeira internacional, do
tsunami no Japão, das inundações no Brasil, das revoltas no Mundo Árabe, dos casamentos reais, dos desaparecimentos de Amy Winehouse, Gil Scott-Heron, Trish Keenan, John Barry, Cesária Évora, Poly Styrene, do divórcio de Kim Gordon e Thurston Moore, do fim dos R.E.M., LCD Soundsystem, The White Stripes, Grinderman e The Stills, do Grammy dos Arcade Fire, da marca dos 7 mil milhões de humanos, do último vôo do vai-vem espacial, da ocupação de Wall Street e de tantos outros acontecimentos. Foi ano de muitos discos, de bons filmes e várias sessões de bota-disquismo, onde a partilha, a amizade e a boa disposição imperam. 2011 também me fica marcado pelo
primeiro concerto dos Screaming Jelly Babies, do iníco da minha colaboração com o jornal
Voz de Santa Eulália e da rubrica "Uma música por dia", aqui no
blog.
Deixo os leitores com as habituais listas do ano passado, desejando um 2012 pleno de sucessos, alegrias partilhadas, boas surpresas e, claro, muita e boa música!
