Oh, how long I have been waiting to hear something from Adele. Something new, I mean. I was not a big fan of Chasing Pavements but she totally won me with Hometown Glory since the beginning, so I was expecting this girl to do something big again, something that will manage to move me...

I remember Sundays in my childhood as a time poised in a paranormal boredom, just letting hours pass by between soporific TV programs and even more soporific Sunday supplements. I wonder why I never had the idea of covering myself in glam like John O’Regan (a.k.a Diamond Rings) and take the streets with my friends...

Can I have my own moment of 80’s recreation? Some days ago I discovered All around and away we go, Twin Sister’s latest video and it would be a crime not sharing it: pure colour and Crayola doodles, a thousand stars and some other undefined sparkling elements. Sooo enjoyable.

Oh! So, so great… starting the week with news from Lykke Li. Along the lines of the video Solarium by Moses Berkson but with some more action: sticking to black and white and keeping the mysterious and witches’ sabbath air. Mondays like this are a little less Monday, aren’t they?

¡Oh! Qué bien, qué bien…...

I may have heard It’s Blitz! in all its possible ways by now so I can already tell I am totally sure Runaway is definitely my favourite song of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ last album; listening to it everytime I travel is becoming a real tradition. Among the clouds, this redeemed runaway hymn with quite...

I had not realized how time has gone by since On My Shoulders by The Do, till I have recently heard Dust it Off, the first single coming out of their next album, which will be released by March next year. The composition, simple and austere, and the whole intimate and experimental mood of...

I really like Lykke Li -as I think I made clear in several times- that is why I’m so glad she’s back no matter in which way. Solarium is a short film by Moses Berkson in which the Swedish sensation wanders the desert like a lost soul as the result of a heart break...

I can’t like this one more than the original one because Feist’s is actually one of my favourite songs ever, but how beautiful is James Blake’s cover of The Limit To Your Love from the album The Reminder of the Canadian singer. Amazing Martin de Thurah’s video makes the rest, to say the least.

Apparently, early-morning drilling is already about to become a habit in the building. Today the drilling went further from early-morning and lasted till not long ago. I had no other chance than counterattacking with this. Because this is sounds so old but so new at the same time, so fresh but so familiar. Standing...

Like a couple of months ago a friend recommended me The Golden Filter because it seems they were then playing in Barcelona. I mentally filed it for a while (yes, I normally do this kind of things…) and now, all of a sudden it has just came to my mind. It is not only...

…The XX. As some really expected, and although some others didn’t. The British trio (quartet initially) that appeared all of a sudden causing a total sensation last year, wrapped in this ghost mouth-to-ear phenomenon*, that totally proved their worth on stage due to their marathonian worldwide tour -and that made them lose their fourth...

There’s something in Foals’ Spanish Sahara video that reminds me of The Water, the short film Kevin Drew and Anthony Seck made with Feist’s homonym song: it might be the snow, the mountains and obviously also the fact that in both of them something looking like a mysterious inert body is being...

I’d drive all night just to get back home // I am a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride (*)
This is our last weekend in Berlin. And now it feels like it has been quite short actually, although we knew it would be this way even before we came. Next weekend we will...

Self Machine is the new single coming out of The Constant, I Blame Coco’s first new album from which also came out Caesar last February. In a kind of subjective confession, I will point that I like this song less than I did the previous one, but the video shows such beautiful images, talking...
