Sab 13 Oct – Festival Corona Capital 2012

Y llegó de nuevo el Festival Corona Capital! Este año fue el primero que el evento se realizó en dos días con alrededor de 70 bandas y solistas.

Con grandes expectativas, los organizadores soltaron el horario de los shows, haciendo que varios de nosotros pegaramos gritos en el cielo al darnos cuenta de que se encimaban algunas bandas (a saber, Suede vs. Franz Ferdinand, New Order vs. Florence + The Machine, entre otros). Así que no quedó otra más que elegir entre las bandas.

Llegando un poco después de lo planeado,…

Lun 23 Abr – Pulp

Took them maybe 30 years to cross the Atlantic and step on Mexico. Surely, they didn't expect the audience they had last night, they surely had no idea how much and for how long we had wanted them here. But they finally did it.

With no opening band, which is quite strange but quite good (from the audience pov at least), they smashed our ears with the fantastic Do you remember the first time? The only time a band has played my favorite song by them as opening, what a better way to start the…

This quizz is kind of famous around here, it's about charts.

1. How did you get into 29?
Interpol - Back in 2005, 2006 I started to listen alternative rock (tagged as indie sometimes) from ny and britain so I don't quite remember how I met them.

2. What was the first song you heard by 22?
Rufus Wainwright - Oh Rufus… It was probably Hallelujah on Shrek xD but when I actually knew it was him was on Moulin Rouge's Complainte de la butte.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Luna Sea. *cries* None!…

Saw this entry somewhere and decided to give it a go

1. Silvio Rodríguez
He's old! :'( and after all he used to sing about, he goes and performs in the USA (not that it's a bad thing) but it's against what he claims to be.
2. Muse
Apparently everybody likes them now and I just hope fame won't hit them in a bad way.
3. Howard Shore
Maybe that he composed the score of Eclipse but that's just a personal thing I have against those movies (and books).
4. David Bowie
Nothing… he's perfect…
5. Depeche Mode
They came,…

Vie 24 Sep – Bon Jovi, Moderatto

Yesterday was a day that we will remember forever. The expectation was much, although many refused to assist when they heard who was opening the night. I confess that I felt uneasy about it but in the end, Bon Jovi mattered more.

Almost ten years ago, when they reemerge with "Crush", the band came with a very different sound than people were used to in the 80s, and it worked perfectly. Now a decade after, they have proved that while you enjoy doing music and you remain honest, you can continue for many…

Ok here it goes, try guessing them and you'll win a cookie if it's right hehe…

1. Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we're flying down to Rio
2. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun Time - Pink Floyd
3. Why is it that you beat me? It isn't any fun
4. Shiny boots of leather Venus In Furs - The Velvet Underground
5. Why don't you all fade away? My Generation - The Who
6. Jaws was never my scene and i don't like Star Wars Bycicle Race - Queen
7. He'd like to come…

Vie 27 Feb – Keane

Debo decir que estos chicos sí que son talentosos. Me encantó haber tenido la posibilidad de asistir a verlos, tom es sencillamente fantástico (aún cuando intenta hablar español jeje). Cantaron 6 canciones de cada álbum y a mi parecer las que más prendieron fueron: Somewhere only we know (que prácticamente sólo canto el público), Spiralling y Under Pressure. Pocas son las bandas que logran hacer un cóver de una canción de Bowie que llegan a gustarme pero este cóver estuvo genial!!

Lo único que lamento es que no hayan tocado Can't stop now, una…
