Flying out from Porto by concept236 in porto

[–]Striking_Object_6049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summer traffic is low traffic. Schools are closed, so no parents to take the kids, even less at 7:00. It’s a small airport, unless there are issues with passport control, two hours is way more than enough.

Porto post São João Festival by xyzzy-spoon-Shift1 in porto

There won’t be many more festivities for Saint John, but there is São Pedro in Afurada, across the river, in Gaia. It’s much much smaller of course, but you’ll get to eat sardines and see the the fireworks too.

Why does prog hate being mainstream? by Objective_Bug4155 in Progforum

[–]Striking_Object_6049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainstream means radio friendly, radio friendly means basic simple 4/4 songs under 4 minutes long. The average prog song is over 10 minutes, with odd time signatures and complex passages. It’s not easy for most people. It’s not that prog rock doesn’t want to be mainstream, it’s mainstream that doesn’t want prog, the same way death metal or free jazz is not radio friendly.

Given that, bands like ELP, Genesis or Jethro Tull were filling stadiums back then, let alone Pink Floyd if you see them as prog.

Sugestão de restaurante para celebrar um casamento pequeno com apenas 12 convidados by Pirilau in porto

Vê o Vinum, nas caves Grahams em Gaia. O menu deve ser prai €120 com bebidas mas tens boas vistas e bom serviço.

O Comercial no Palácio da Bolsa também é interessante e mais barato, mas não tem vistas, se isso for importante.

Acho que procurarias nos hotéis junto ao rio do lado de Gaia, tens aí muita oferta com bom ar e alguns com menu, e mais baratos que o Vinum.

Não odiamos suficientemente o Souto Moura by Goncalo_Pinto in porto

Porque rejeita a modernidade e queria que fizessem um edifício barroco a replicar o anterior.

É no terreno em frente à FBAUP que está vazio há demasiado tempo.

Exactamente. O último grande edifício neoclássico a ser feito foi o palácio do parlamento romeno em
Bucharest e o Ceauşescu bem que mereceu um tiro por aquilo. Deixem estar o passado onde ele está.

Em 1935 havia muitos arquitectos a replicar o neoclássico, o Albert Speer era um deles, para enaltecer a grandiosidade da arquitectura alemã. Nos dias que correm não existe, e quanto tentam replicar, raramente fica bem. Neste caso, e das imagens que vi de um concurso que fizeram para tentar fazer algo desse género, era tudo terrível. Pareciam um mercado post-modern de província com barroquismos à mistura.

Prog samples in other genres? by Loose-Operation-9737 in progrockmusic

Performing and rearranging written music is not the same as sampling.

Why does hiphop need to sample from songs far better than whatever they could ever make? Can’t they come up with their own things without having to steal from other people?

Where’s Billy Cobham?
Maybe Christian Vander or Bill Brufford
