Getting Waxed While The Yeast Infection

About Loquillo, Balmoral and angry youth


always have artists, groups, to which we are a weakness. Of which I speak today to say which is my favorite above all, for different reasons and motives. Loquillo mature over the years, alternating with very good records normalitos others but always get hooked with this or that song, either through the lyrics, the music or the way they interpret it. The other day, listening to a station nationwide general, opened his window with one of his last songs, and the comments made about her were almost entirely the same as mine. Saying that "Balmoral" Loquillo has been reinvented, a step up in quality, both in music and the words you use. Separated from the Troglodytes has taken its toll, but in his favor, contrary to what had at first been thought. Sabino Mendez has again collaborated with the Mad after many, many years without doing it, and Igor Paskual guitar sounds on everything.

From "Balmoral" can only talk a lot and well, whatever, as already discussed in other entries, you drop the artist better or worse, or more or less you identify your style, ideology or aesthetic. In these times (remember, Loco, "Because times are changing without reference ...") get your hands on a job like this, can afford to dive into their lyrics, in your environment, skip the cooler to Malta 12 years, is all a breath of fresh air, a thread of hope that not everything was better last time.

a disc that a legend like Johnny Hallyday is a duet with Loquillo mark in "Crossing the Paradise", an album that has songs as versatile as "Sol "as deep as" Life is for those who risk "or as solid as" Hotel Palafox, "the very" Blamoral "or" The Believer ", can never be a bad disc. And if all this, added by true song which I have started talking, the disc goes from good to very good, and even a matter of taste and opinion, excellent. The song, "Angry Young Report," would be a hymn, and may go way of being, but yes, always by word of mouth, by the grace of a friend who puts it, a local radio station where you hear one day by chance. Because the songs that say, artists who believe the letters that make you think, are unfortunately beyond all possibility of being promoted ... MEMORY

angry young men (El Loko, Susi Koska and Igor Paskual)

us who we are then we do not have
where those who always
talk alone.

We who are not part

we decided to live outside the wire. Memory


angry young men living north of the south
future of hope captives

conquered kingdoms inhabited
silence where nothing remains.

We are always alert to make a difference

without bowing.

live, walk without allies

dream dream love as always armed.

Any Like Denise Milani ?

time of writing, while Dire Straits


Well see if Hustler, which more than 2 weeks from the last post! To thanks, thank you, that number nearly a thousand have visited this your blog since its inception just two months.

The next album fell into my hands one afternoon, when looking for news on the new that Bunbury had published, and it's going to run into a double CD composed and sung by 50% with a certain Nacho Vegas ... called "The Time of Cherries." The first "auditions" of that album I admit I messed ... Who is the guy who sings in Bunbury?. Where did they come to these songs?. Internet I see that pulling the work in question is having awards and nominations across the pond but of course, here he is giving the pile of mediocre ball taken from television programs or sponsored by a given radio, television and media group ...

Making a paragraph, and hindsight, I recognize that both types are concerned that or you like or can not even see ... the ego of both, I believe, would fill several football fields, but at this point I am of the view that musical quality is above the artist: I could fall down like a shot or not you'd take a shot with him, but take months with his latest CD in the car ... and base this on the following: lots of "artists" without voice or talent sell because you have up in the soup, to much hype and by interview. And they are very bad.

If someone decides to put this work in your hands, you will find a very careful production, that is indisputable. The next thing you will notice is a fantasy lyrics, the kind that you have a life in 3 minutes with a cool sound when it has to be, and more "seedy" when the song requires it. In addition there are 20 songs that get the most 5-star rating from me. They are songs of broken lives, wounded souls, loves pernicious of joyful tears, laughter, sad, anger and jealousy ... The CD1

highlight "Strange Days", "Ungrateful bitch," "La Pena and Nothingness "and" Now "and the second" The Road of your dreams "," Serie Negra "," Hunter "(a favorite of my daughter which are capable of listening to his 6 years)," Bravo "and" The End ".

And to finish as I began, by thanking, I do Henry and Nacho, Mr. Vegas and Mr. Bunbury, for giving me these songs to hear in difficult times of my life, and past. And the good thing is that they follow me. Perhaps the only good, but enough.

Hot Flash With Dizziness

cherries, and a song that is not forgotten.


Well first of all congratulations and good year ahead, and then go with a song of those that can be put over and over again without making heavy, or at least I think so. The truth I have to say that I'm rather small Anglo-Saxon groups, I am not a faithful follower or superfan of either, or at least compared to here. But generally regularly hear songs in English, groups or soloists Anglo-Americans and others. French music pulls me also, maybe more, and the Japanese say that a couple of small groups for those who feel weak and I hope to here soon.

Returning to the track in question, was having dinner with my family on Christmas Eve when my brother Sergio and I got to talking and I do not remember exactly how we got to that point, suddenly just telling a story about those of "youth" then I counted to 21, a time when there was still no no internet or mobile phones, flip flip!. Then worked in a pizzeria, and had just purchased my first car a few months. Total who stayed with Jose at the show the people of his newfound girlfriend, now wife. The place in question is Villanueva del Trabuco, Malaga Province, about 45 kms from the capital. To situate at all, ran in September 1994.

finish work at about 1:30 am and I stood Panda there with my new blue. It was a night of such great and supersano you remember for a lifetime. Supermaja a group of people, whom he knew since the last fair of Malaga just a great turnout, released from heifers at 8 am and a good breakfast of churros eaten newsprint dumped in a portal. I left there at about 11 am, completely sober but tired. Both that first went to Granada and after turn spent the rest of the way without shirts, with the windows open fully and belt out songs from "Heroes" to stay awake. No more incidents that I skipped a red light, I came home at 13h past. How I slept, jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja!

For me, the highlight of the evening was the typical orchestra versions pachanguera who plays nonstop. But this, yes sir, sounded print. A sequined blue curtain background, a large group of very professional musicians, brass section, keyboards, the righteous, good vocals and voices, in general, and especially a guitarist color, and somewhat chubby and fifties, who sang beautifully, to James Brown, and played guitar print.

And I remember perfectly how, after many encores we asked insistently over 500 people that we filled the room, closed the show with this theme, that man played and sang as God. Every time I hear it, since that day, I come to mind then, how well we had while the orange dawn sky behind the mountains, and how well they spent the night. I hope you enjoy it now. Mr. Mark Knopfler and his band, the "Dire Straits", with a theme of those who always like, "Money for Nothing."
