Optimus Primavera Sound 2012: day 3

Oh, festivals on rainy days. Such a pleasure for absolutely no one. Everyone loves guest appearances in festivals, but would invite such an inconvenient entity? My one and only guess is “students who couldn’t attend the festival due to having to study for exams”. You made little girls cry, are you happy now?

Oh, festivals on weekdays. Such a pleasure for people who can’t take days off work. Thank god not everyone on the team has such problems. Still not over the fact I haven’t seen The War on Drugs, for example. Please read on…

Culturally growing since the dawn of the 21st century, the northern Portuguese city of Porto lacked something: a real big urban festival. Luckily for Porto, Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona grew so much the organizers decided it was about time to expand the brand to somewhere else in Europe and Porto, Portugal’s second bigger city and most vibrant cultural hub of the country (exactly what Barcelona is in the Spanish context) was arguably the right choice for the new festival. Not saying that because the city’s nearby the towns where most of the Bolachas team lives. This charming city makes everyone fall in love, from the attenders who came from places like the US, New Zealand or Estonia to artists who traveled the world countless times before coming here – the picture above, posted on Wilco’s Instagram account, is accompanied by a note saying “Let’s all move here!”. (Please do.)

Just discovered this gem on my inbox. Look, a Wilco cover song that doesn’t suck! Kudos to The Hudson Branch, responsible for this soul-infused version of “Sky Blue Sky” from the album with the same name. This is how you do covers, kids:

We love Wilco and this track is one of their best. Instead of doing a mediocre remake of it – we decided to have some fun and draw on our love of Motown while covering it.

Stream World Kid, the latest album from the Branch, right on the widget below.
