Albums I've been listening 2

- "Black foliage, animation music", Olivia Tremor Control An Elephant Six band. That's the same label Of Montreal is on, as well as Apples in Stereo & can't remember who else. But I do recall Federico Fahsbender telling me 2 listen 2 them one day while walking 2 the bus after class. I thought "Cool name". Then Eliot put a few of their tunes on the mix CD he made me a few years back. But it took a while longer b4 I actually started listening 2 them. I'm loving this album now. Fav songs: A peculiar noise called 'train director', A sleep company, A place we have been to

- "36 strings", "Cut your heart off from your head", The Redneck Manifesto Irish band recommended by Reggie, who is also Irish

- "Primary colours", The Horrors Glad I gave it a 2nd chance. Favs: "I only think of you" & "Mirror's image"

- "El Arbol de la Vida", Javi Punga Indie artist from Buenos Aires. My friend Silvana is gonna play the xylophone on a couple of numbers @ his upcoming gig, which I am attending, obvs : )

- "Plastic beach", Gorillaz Super. Favs: the title track & "Rhinestone eyes"

Smile empty soul

Overblown things can be felt in the middle of the night (around 3am, usually)

Yes and I sin every single day

Band: Smile Empty Soul (shitty band, cool name)

Sólo sé que no soy yo

Justo que pensaba en vos, nena, caí muerto
¿Qué le dio al pequeño dios
del centro gris del abismo?
Sólo sé que no soy yo a quien duerme
Sólo sé que no soy yo a quien duerme

Dime nena, ¿Adónde ves ahora
algo en mí que no detestes?
Qué sólo y triste voy a estar en este cementerio
Qué calor hará sin vos en verano

- "Cementerio club", Pescado Rabioso
