Ever since I was very little, David Bowie’s music has been the perfect companion. Always, regardless of the situation in which I found myself, I had a song that would accompany the occasion. Last night This is not America could be heard in the furniture store, or Let’s Dance, which was being played on...

I like the rumors that become news, and which go on to be big surprises and after that become big releases, and even more so when we are part of them. Today’s example is one that came to my ears’ attention a week ago, and it definitely had to be included as a part...

I have set myself a limit for talking about Beach House, an unequalled duo that have proved to be, with their four albums, a huge influencing force on other bands, with a genre that you could easily enough copy, but that with heroicism, they have maintained its flow with an unbridled psychedelia that, by...

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...

Falsetto and echoes are things that give me goosebumps on my skin, and Hayden Thorpe with his band Wild Beasts, managed to convince the British pop audience utilising these things in their album Two Dancers in 2009, and also with the release in 2011 of Smother, criticized for a tranquility little expected after their...

Claire Boucher (a.k.a. Grimes) is the kind of Canadian that I admire; adventurous, rebellious, mysterious and eager to travel the world on the basis of her clever ability to open doors by breaking into the music scene
At San Miguel Primavera Sound 2012 she is the gateway artist to a very select list of soloists...

Alan Palomo is the man who gives a face to Neon Indian every time they go on stage to attack, with extreme acidity, the sadness of indie which is so often associated with those who like this genre. He is full of enviable, youthful energy and this year he is bringing that, along with...

Marianne Faithfull first came to me -during a season of my life in which cinema was my means of escape- with one film called Irina Palm, and I had no idea why there were so many people in the cinema waiting to see her in particular, because it seemed to arouse so much curiosity...

Lately I’ve been immersed in dance steps and I believe that the destiny of the music around me, and the bands that have come into my hands lately, are only leading me further towards learning how to shine to the dance floor. This time I’m bringing to you a gentleman who is really quite...

Sneaking in is one of the things music editors do best: concerts, private parties, backstage areas, press conferences… Where the power lies these days is in the moment that artists unveil their musical secrets and being the first to know them, or being revealed who produced which album and why, or more personal issues...

I don’t like to show off, but now that the season of music festivals is about to begin around the world, and I am getting glimpses of some of the band names that have been played during the cold winter months as part of our music recommendations, I feel a great sense of satisfaction...

There are times I can write about bands that don’t need any introduction. The Rapture, so famous since the release of their album Echoes in 2003, have become one of those bands of worship for me. Loyally, for many years, I have used them as a way to lift my mood, make me feel...

I may have heard to fast to Lana del Rey’s songs or maybe the thing is that the video by Yoann Lemoine does real good to Born to Die, new single from the homonym album by the latest musical sensation because, the very first time I heard it I didn’t pay that much attention...

Anthony González, a Frenchman who since 2001 has been doing fantastic explosive mixes with his band M83 and who I am now bringing to you here by popular demand. Everyone has been telling me about them, how they had a tour with Kings of Leon, how they had been the openers for Depeche Mode...

Comme en un Enfant is the new single coming from the latest album by Yelle, named Safari Disco Club and about which we were talking in here not so long ago. If the one in charge of the styling in the previous video was ironic and funny Belgian designer Jean Paul Lespagnard, the stylings...

One of our favourite quartets from Denmark have gotten their own way, once again, When Saints Go Machine do not need a grand introduction, we don’t need to discuss their musical influences or the variety of genres that they are capable of encompassing without detaching from their deep electronic roots. Neither do we need...

It has never really happened before that I have got to know the professions of my neighbours, and after 5 years of having lived in the same building it has turned out that after all they were one of my best clients that I had only ever met over the phone, or that we...

The good thing about technologies is that, normally, you can switch on and off everything as you wish. Paradoxically, the bad thing is that, sometimes, these technologies seem to be possessed by the devil himself and then they decide to do it -switching on and off- by themselves, escaping from all possible control.
If you...
