Top 5 semanal - Radar 97.8 FM

A Radar, que eu me lembre, só tem dois defeitos, a saber, não passar relatos dos jogos do Benfica e passar repetidamente a publicidade dos "Móveis de Todo o Mundo" (mais uma genialidade onomástica do mundo do marketing) e do Pagapouco. Quanto ao resto, é perfeita: as rubricas são interessantes e complementam o espaço radiofónico musical propriamente dito; os locutores cumprem os seus papéis radialistas sem descurar o aspecto da intimidade, fundamental numa rádio "alternativa"; a música - o aspecto fundamental para mim - é excelente, salvo raras excepções que reforçam simplesmente a regra segundo a qual qualquer regra tem excepções.

Resolvi, deste modo, partilhar com os dois ou três leitores que por aqui vagabundeiam as suas presenças um Top 5 semanal, a começar hoje e a repetir todas as sextas-feiras, delineado com base nos singles que a Radar passa durante a semana e que são, para mim, os mais audíveis (tendo em conta a disposição, estado do tempo, extracto bancário, etc.) And the nominees are:

1. The Cloud Room, "Hey now now", The Cloud Room
2. Juliet, "Avalon", Random Order.
3. Ladytron "Destroy everithing you touch", Witching Hour.
4. Franz Ferdinand, "Do you want to", You could have it so much better with... Franz Ferdinand.
5. The Arcade Fire, "Rebellion(Lies)", Funeral. (não é desta semana, mas alguns locutores abençoados continuam a insistir no tema.)

Letra de "Rebellion"

Sleeping is giving in,
no matter what the time is.
Sleeping is giving in,
so lift those heavy eyelids.

People say that you'll die
faster than without water.
But we know it's just a lie,
scare your son, scare your daughter.

People say that your dreams
are the only things that save ya.
Come on baby in our dreams,
we can live our misbehavior.

Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes

People try and hide the night
underneath the covers.
People try and hide the light
underneath the covers.

Come on hide your lovers
underneath the covers,
come on hide your lovers
underneath the covers.

Hidin' from your brothers
underneath the covers,
come on hide your lovers
underneath the covers.

People say that you'll die
faster than without water,
but we know it's just a lie,
scare your son, scare your daughter,
Scare your son, scare your daughter.
Scare your son, scare your daughter.

Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies, lies!)
Now here's the moon, it's alright!(Lies, lies!)
Now here's the sun, it's alright! (Lies, lies!)
Now here's the moon it's alright (Lies, lies!)
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes

Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies!)
