brrrrr... Totally addicted to the newest Architecture in Helsinki EP “Like it or not”.
To me sounds likeTalking Heads in el caribe or Arcade Fire suffering from jungle fever... well, maybe my brain is suffering calypso fever with such a hot weather in Barcelona... :D

On the same EP there’s a weirdo latin remix by El Guincho... azucar!!

Totally recommended!

Below the fantastic video created by Meg Whitmarsh for the main song...

MusicVictim are THE playlists/podcast masters...
Hundreds of playlists selected by great artists ready to listen and/or download.
For the ones working on august they made three new compilations!!
Listen to them while you picture yourself on a stunning hidden beach...
:)

Well... If you don’t know anything about Maywa Denki, never is too late ;)
They are sooooo amazing that I can’t describe it with words.
First a video of a live performance and then another with some explanations about their instruments.

Have a nice friday*

I recorded this video last Saturday at the Caribou concert.

It was a pity that the concert was short and really late (3 AM)... Razzmatazz should have hired Caribou to play like a normal concert instead of a Club Session performance... Enjoyed it anyway.. here’s Melody Day

If you are in Barcelona this weekend, don’t even think of missing a Caribou concert in Razzmatazz’s super-duper-5-club-in-one-Poble Nou-factory...

2:30 AM though...but it’s summer! who cares!?

Here are two Caribou clips to enjoy meanwhile...
(great dreamy psychedelic pop songs)

Playground is a great spanish music magazine that you can enjoy online...
The project is only three weeks old but it’s quality is amazing!
Spanish only... sorry :)

Really funny Devendra Banhart video... Starring his beloved Natalie Portman and lots of Hindu deities ;)
*Pay attention to the subtitles!

Yesterday had the chance to see a classic movie called “Picnic at Hanging Rock”... knew some things about it but was stunned by the cinematography and the overall beauty. Amazing scenes, light games and psychedelic effects.
Felt like watching Sofia Copula's inspiration before making The Virgin Suicides...The soundtrack is mostly pan-pipe music but if they were changed into synths could have been made by Air easily.

A perfect sunday aussie movie.

Another video that I love...
Kiiiiiii are exotic, brilliant, crazy and funny!

I recorded this while people were pogo-dancing around me... that’s why the video is soo short.... but totally recommend this gig.
