San Miguel Primavera Sound 2012: Chromatics
One of the most common mistakes that I make due to my lack of over-cautiousness, or too much confidence, is to criticise Bruce Springsteen in public. He, with his immense charisma, always seems to have fans in places where I would never have imagined they would exist, and I find myself apologising over-excessively out of guilt for what my criticisms may have caused. But I have to confess that the version of I’m on fire by Chromatics drives me crazy, and I will always have to go back to the Boss to thank him for that.
Now that they are coming to Barcelona, by invitation of San Miguel Primavera Sound 2012, Kill for love is the new battle-cry that we are proposing for this summer, and I hope to have it tattooed on my skin from this moment. Adam Miller is a hero of my generation, his punk style translated into electric pop reminds me of some manga such as Mazinger, and a futuristic world where robot girls take over my soul and every song is an anthem to the desperate search for transgenic love. That sounds good, right?

Uno de los errores más comunes que cometo por mi falta de excesiva prudencia, o demasiada confianza, es criticar a Bruce Springsteen en público. Él, con su excesivo carisma, siempre tiene adeptos en los sitios en los que menos me imagino y tiendo a disculparme excesivamente dadas las culpas que esto me ocasiona. Pero tengo que confesar que la versión de I’m on fire de Chromatics siempre me encantó, y tuve siempre que volver al Boss a darle las gracias por ella.
Ahora que vienen a Barcelona invitados por el San Miguel Primavera Sound 2012, Kill for love es el nuevo lema que se nos propone para éste verano, y espero llevarlo tatuado en la piel a partir de ahora. Adam Miller es un héroe de mi generación, su punk transportado a un pop eléctrico me recuerda a un Manga tipo Mazinger en un mundo futurista donde las chicas robot se apoderan de mi alma y cada canción es un himno ante la desesperada búsqueda de un amor transgénico. Qué bien suena eso, ¿no?
Nice article, but regarding music, I stick to the originals. I’m very classic like and the Neil Young’s version is better for me!
