Friday, another fucking cloudy day here in London, it does not look as summer, believe me, is depressing!

Last weekend I went to a karaoke with some friends and we played this song, I don’t know why I’ve been singing it since then…

I miss Spain too much!!

Y VIVA ESPANA (English version)

Oh this year i’m off to Sunny Spain, Y Viva Espana
I’m taking the Costa Brava plane, Y Viva Espana
If you’d like to chat a matador, in some cool cabana
And meet senoritas by the score, Espana por favor!!

I arrived to the venue (The bush hall) when Absentee (support band) were already playing (a bit late, as usual), and to be honest I didn’t know them but definitely is a band to keep an eye on (I’ll do), the singer possesses a gruff voice (what I really like) and all together give off a positive energy full of talent.

Micah P Hinson, what can I say? this guy is a f**g genius! With his gravel-voice and his texan accent
he had them all engrossed from the begining until the last song, showing how good he is.

Maybe the only thing that disapointed me a bit was talking too much (between songs), he said that he doesn’t like Bob Dylan, made fun of their band members and of a gig he had in Spain where no one was listening to him at all.

Ah! thanks Pilun for the tickets!!

Today: Death Cab for Cutie in Carling Academy! Ueeee

The last weekend with Pilun (one of my very best friends) living in London!

Everything is going to be allright!

Yes! I can’t wait to see him live next week.

The National playing “About Today” at a private Spin gig. I love this song!

Another fantastic night in the Dublin Castle. Very good musicians and great atmosphere, except for that litle groupie insisting on doing all those bootie dances to every kind of music!

Of all the bands I saw yesterday I got very impressed with these guys! Happy mid tempo songs with compacts guitar and superb voices! I have seen many notorious bands that should learn a lot from these guys about how to sing on a stage. Great jobs guys! I tried to buy your demo but you insisted on givin them for free so this post is my payback! Everyone with a little time, please have a look to these guys! They are good!

Cheers!

BTW I am going to the beach for a couple of weeks so take care amigos, see you then!

Oi,

Have a look to this vid that my friend Elena a.k.a rubiaka has sent to me! Fantastic song and fantastic video. There is something with this video and this song that they get along extraordinary well. Micah is that kind of enlessly suffering artists highly recommended for sensitive souls. Fruco and me will be attending at his gig in the bush hall (London) pretty soon! Enjoy it.

Regards,

Pilun

Yo Buddies!!,

Saturday I was on a Baptism and I want to share some pictures with you!!

Baptism was on Saturday night, it was at a military base in Getafe in Madrid. It was there because they were a lot of guests. Seriously, it was the larger Baptism i ever was. Here is the Altar’s pic:

Just in front of it there was the Choir place an the light&sound techs (necessary since it was a night and crowded Baptism):

(more…)

For sure all of you sang and “danced” (placing both hands on parts of body as they are mentioned) the “head, shoulders, knees and toes” when you were young, today I don’t know why I’ve come to work singing it all the way, surrealist!

Anyway, if you can’t remeber it, here you are:

“Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.

And eyes, and ears, and mouth,
And nose.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.”

Or may be you prefere watch U2 singing the classic… weird!

Hey,

Here is a vid of Michael Gondry that I love! He explains what the video is about so I don’t have much to say! This guy is a star!

Cheers,

I have already talked you about them (Sigur Ross), when I talked about my favourite videos of all time. Here is one I had not seen then. These guys are awesome! So much talent, so different to all the rest. Just imagine how difficult is to find your own sound today when there are so many bands in the market. But here you got these guys doing something so different and so good. The videos are brilliant. Same thing, childhood and touching images!

Hope you like it! Hopefully I’ll see them soon in Benicassim.

Friday! Please check this song from The Teenagers (great French band) out!

I know is a bit rude for girls but such an awesome vintage video deserve by far to be at frucomerci.com

Enjoy!

How do you do!

Another quite day at work so I am going to drop this little post! I was watching some Neil Young videos on youtube and somehow it has come to my mind this brilliant cover to the Rolling Stone’s Wild Horses played by Guns & Roses in Paris. I love today’s music but I have got a bit nostalgic watching this video. I just wanted to share this with you and point out a couple of things:

- How cool was the 90’s rock & roll look! Get away all that EMO thing and bring me back the alcoholic and trouble making Rock Star dress with leather pants and cowboy boots.

- The best times for rock and roll finished when guitar players stop smoking while they were playing.

All the best and enjoy the afternoon!
