*The Cure - Disintegration*

 The eight album by The Cure released in 1989 stands as one of the band's most dark, profound and melancholic works. Lauded as one of or even the best album by the band and immortalized in popular culture  in the episode 12 of season 1 of South Park when Robert Smith saves the town and Kyle yells at him from a distance "Disintegration is the best album ever!" It is a very powerful album from beginning to finish and it contains the band's somewhat bittersweet vibes, in which there is existential dread but also a hopeful glimpse into the future as brief as it may be. 

A beautiful and unique album that will stand for eternity.

*Aesop Rock - Labor days*

  Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

*Yukio Mishima - Star* (book)

  Star is a short story by japanese writer Yukio Mishima originally published in 1960 and the english version in 2019. A powerful and engaging analysis of fame and the anxieties and insecurities that may come along with it. The story centers around Rikio "Richie" Mizuno, a young movie star that is frequently typecasted as a hardened yakuza in crime films. Despite the fame and the adulation of thousands of female fans, Rikio feels disillusioned with the film industry and even his own fame. Mishima manages to weave a tale with mastery that constanly switches from Rikio, the rich and famous young star and the characters he plays in movies.  This story was overshadowed by other Mishima's works but it retains the ground in a beautiful and exquisite meditation about existence and death from one of Japan's most influential and charismatic authors of the postwar era. Hypnotic and mesmerizing in its own right, it's an interesting read from this writer whose life was as tri...
