Mount Adn Blade Boats

Wine Spirit caught me in 93


Well, there it was, with just turned 20 years old and eager to progress, when in autumn the same year I intend to go to a concert of Heroes del Silencio. At that time I recognize that while some of his songs I was hooked and was not a follower of the group and that looked too cuddly for my taste. Anyway, here we turned others Santiago, Alfonso and myself, and when that started I must admit that añuciné, since by that time, for me it was new a band of 100 laps to give him live his studio albums. View

puny that guy singing like a cannon while he kept jumping, moving and climbing to the top of the stage structure was quite an experience. One by one they were shelling the themes of his latest album to the absolute devotion of a devoted audience, and when it came to an end all too soon it seemed that lasted two hours. It was at that moment that I became a fan of them until its dissolution and subsequently by Enrique Bunbury (with ups and downs, yes, but with his latest work, Hellville de Luxe, has regained all the strength and quality which make it a unique artist).

In The Spirit of Wine, one of my first CDs, it is impossible to say that this or any other issue is loose, is put to fill in or anything similar. I would venture to bet, and memory, which is the work that brought more songs since their direct and in the reunion of Heroes in 2007 as well, I'm pretty sure (jo, it is well spent in Seville, unforgettable concert) . Many of the 16 issues of The Spirit ..., more than half, sounded demonstrating that quality is not lost over the years. The classics, namely, would be our names, Tesoro, The Pleasures of Poverty, The Wound, La Sirena Varada, The Road of Excess, Flor de Loto, Boiling Blood, and Blessed Salt Tombs. Can not be left to listen Appearance is not sincere, The Refuge, Blessed 2, Z (instrumental, used as an occasional tune on radio and TV) and The Wardrobe (a gem).

Tombs I leave you with Sal, just great live and, of course, Sirena Varada.

Can I File My Fafsa With A W2?

Carlos Segarra ... ran out of guitars.


Yes. A few days ago I commented on the theme of the concert last Tuesday, and there I was. And enjoyed. Mr. Rebel, clothed only by a bass and an excellent battery, it was a repasito which included from the first song Elvis released, or so I have understood: "The Train Arrives", for then shelling issues as well as classics, Mr. Berry, of Beatles themselves, a very good version of "Stand by Me", a duet with Javier Ojeda Danza Invisible Torremolinos, and several other tracks by Buddy Holly, Karl Perkins, Gene Vincent ...

The concert helped me to check again, as always, good music, or go out of fashion, no need big media and ultra-modern technology to be touched. The acoustics helped his own. Another discovery my part led to see Carlos live. It is a great guitarist, but yes, very correct and professional. Although, of course, or had the worst run of bad luck in the world, or Mr. Segarra, check for upcoming performances better guitars. The first lasted about 8 songs, until it broke a string. The second just endured 3 songs until the input of the amplifier was determined to fail, and the third suffered the same fate as the first in a span of 5 or 6 tracks. So I pulled back with the second, while the other 2 are going straight to the backstage, I imagine, take a rope to one and put it on the other (we know this to undress one saint to dress another, right? .) That added a bonus of complicity with the audience, delivered and waiting, but the second this time endured enough. Leaving

very happy, after all, and thanks to the magic of music for the rest of the night the world seemed friendlier, more human, less rare. A greeting.


And a little theme, so it does not say ...
