Ooops, Morilllo! December 23, 2008
News on some music portals today say:
”Colombian born, Miami-based house DJ and Subliminal Records label boss Erick Morillo was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine at Glasgow airport after his gig at the Arches this weekend. Morillo pleaded not guilty in court today, and was ordered to return to Scotland for a hearing in March.”
In Brazil he was arrested in 2006 for not having a working visa.
Alguns portais deram o seguinte bafo hoje:
“O DJ nascido na Colômbia e radicado em Miami, chefão do selo Subliminal, Erick Morillo, foi preso com cocaína no aeroporto de Glasgow(…) Morillo alegou inocência em juízo mas terá que retornar à Escócia para uma audiência em março.”
Para quem não lembra, ele foi preso em 2006 no Brasil por estar tocando sem visto de trabalho.
Morillo, you need a good manager, amigo. :-p

Livro para Voar December 15, 2008
Free to fly… this is a new concept for books nowadays… it’s also a way to give books even more life. You are not the owner of the book you receive. It’s free, it’s traveling searching for new readers. Once you read the book you shall register on the page indicated on the stick inside the book, put your number, comment and pass it by. United States started this project by www.bookcrossing.com and nowadays Brasil is the second biggest network exchanging books through www.livroparavoar.com.br
Livre para voar… este é o novo conceito para livros atualmente … é também uma forma de dar aos livros ainda mais vida. Você não é dono do livro que recebe. Ele é livre e está viajando em busca de novos leitores. Uma vez lido, você deverá se registrar na página web indicada no adesivo que vem dentro, colocar o número de série, fazer seus comentários e passá-lo para frente. Esta iniciativa começou nos Estados Unidos com a www.bookcrossing.com e atualmente o Brasil é a segunda maior rede de troca de livros através da www.livroparavoar.com.br

Condom sales rise through credit crunch
Condom sales are rising as cash-strapped couples opt for romantic nights in during the economic downturn
Durex reported a 10 per cent rise in sales to £126.4 million in the last six months to September 30. Analysts believe the reason for the increase is that a night under the covers is cheaper than a night on the tiles. Sales of its ‘Play’ range, which includes lubricants and vibrators, also rose by more than 27 per cent. A company spokesman said sales in the UK, France, Eastern Europe, Russia and China were particularly strong. The increases saw the firm’s pre-tax profits increase by almost 50 per cent to more than £30 million.
Ocado, the online retailer, also reported a 60 per cent increase in sales across its range of contraceptives. The company’s finance director, Jason Gissing, said: “We’re definitely seeing a rise in people staying in more, entertaining, cooking and clearly making their own fun.”

Snow in Ibiza December 13, 2008
Two days ago our good mates at the white isle reported that it had snowed up there. WOW!!! We just couldn’t help imagining ourselves slidding down Es Vedrà or the narrow up-and-down roads towards the north of the island… jeje
This is how our favourite spot in the Mediterranean looks like when this phenomenon happens, once every blue moon:
Music is my aeroplane December 12, 2008
Remember that one that goes: “It’s murder on the dancefloor, but you better not kill the groove”? At the point where I though there was absolutely no turning back to my party girl spirit, that it had been killed, suffocated with traces of cruelty, by crap dancefloor music, there they came… along with a new movement of fresh and soft beats… they’re Todd Terje, Prins Thomas,Lindstrom, secretsundaze, Tobi Neumann, Hercules and Love Affair, Cut Copy, âme.
With the rise of nu disco, space rave, balearic and all those new and weird names to call the development of deep (house) music in 2008, Sink would like to proudly present to our lovely and smart readers one of the tunes we’re addicted to – of course, introduce just in case you still don’t know.
Ladies & gentlemen: NOW TIL 69, by Aeroplane:
We’re happy. They brought our hopes back and our hands up in the air again.
(we’ll post the lyrics as soon as we get them, ’cause we know you’ll have the urge to sing out loud after the 3rd time lol)
Oh, and try this one as well:
“The kitsch, pop sensibilities of Belgium DJ duo Aeroplane perfectly summed up the sunnier breeze that blew threw electronic music during 2008. Aeroplane are our top nu disco artists of 2008. “

Where? Carrer Call
Why? Because autumn light is so beautiful and inspiring in Barcelona… (and where else could you get a… “turban”???)
O quê? Uma chapelaria antiga e ainda cheia de estilo no coração do bairro Gótico
Onde? Carrer Call
Por quê? Porque a luz do outono é tão linda e inspiradora em Barcelona… (e onde mais você poderia achar um… turbante??)
