Freek November (III): The New Ramon: Interview and Meeting Epes 
IS THE NEW CLASSIC (*)
The world upside down. Now those who remember or Ghouls'n'Ghosts Madee are a minority. So startling has been the emergence of Ramon Rodriguez draft, only two and a half years has been to put order with a compilation Now that it's been a while since your first solo album and there is a certain perspective, what feelings do you have? Do you see it as an experiment, something compatible with your other two projects or something that little by little, will be imposed?
Currently my main project has already been imposed. Now I have new projects and above the give and terminated, while part of the past needed to do what I'm doing now.
¿Crees que le queda alguna vida sin consumir al pequeño emo que llevas dentro?
Aún me quedan unas cinco. Donde estén la familia y los amigos y sigan publicando buenos libros y cómics que seguir leyendo hay vida para rato.
No sé si estarás de acuerdo conmigo, pero a mí me parece que todo fue ocurriendo muy poco a poco. Al principio, casi nadie te hizo caso, pero un año después tu primer disco largo era imprescindible. Ahora creas una expectación del carajo con cada cosa que haces, pero no parece agobiarte.
Tienes razón. Puede que el secreto radique en que no esperaba absolutamente nada de toda esta historia, así que cualquier cosa typically has been happening quite surprised me. If burden is because I usually do the things I crave and soil that no longer make them.
You worked with many people in recent months and looks forward to your album with Richard Nixon and Vicente Francisco. Would you like someone else to add your resume? You could do a tour in a few years type Ana, Victor, Mike Rivers and Joan Manuel.
Ja, ja, ja! Look, I do another experiment with Miguel Rivera (Maga), we recorded a whole album soon. This time, hand in hand and playing both the instruments. What kind of a tour of "We Are the World" because I have not so clear.
What you said in this paragraph taken from the blog of Francis Nixon? "In the first film Conan the Barbarian, the bad says a phrase that has great wisdom:" Conan, I see you've become a master swordsman. I, too, when I was young, I followed the path of steel, but what is steel compared to the hand that wields it? "I was young also followed the path of steel, there freaking out with my guitar and my distortion and my band. But what is that compared to telling a story and touch the hearts of the people? "
Fran is a Jedi Master, you have to listen much. Joking aside, the first "Conan", that of John Milius, is a masterpiece of cinema, there it is. There
public is at your records because you're BCore. And there are those who do not discover until later because you're BCore. "The referee gives and takes away? Are more open seals or you're an exception to be a longtime colleague?
I have no answer to this question.
Speaking of the future, what do you think will give you experience with Frank and Richie? And you to them?
Good company, wisdom and fun.

two and half years ago, "About Garfunkel" appeared as a whim of the singer and Ghouls'n'Ghosts Madee a passenger to get oxygen to project a song something more intimate, delicate and close. That trend has reversed and now it sounds weird to imagine is the Ramón Rodríguez in front of one of those bands, speaks well to clear the strength and quality of songs delivered by the Catalan musician along this means five years. Here can be found "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Lent", the Eps that in his day and only on vinyl, came to complement the long drives, confusing, also with them in time. For if there is one thing that everyone agrees when he speaks in praise of Ramon is that incontinence composition that characterizes it, because, last but not least, the collection of extras we have added new ídems. Of these, highlight the version of "Aquest cony de temps", which boldly claims Ramon a great musician as Lluís Gavaldà not always enough rated from the inextricable courts Catalan intelligentsia and the "mess" conducted by the unusual Manos de Topo with "substitutes." Yes, definitely, I think the new life of Ramón could illustrate this classic angry husband and firecracker: "Do I want to explain why we buy a new sofa if we had was good? Although, on second thought ... hmmm ... how convenient ... how you say it was the sofa before you? "FOUR Freeks
FREEK! November (II): Interview Saints copied and pasted version the full interview with Earl for FREEK! The album review at the end of this other post . SANTOS
RUBBER: BLESSED GIVE
a matter of many, one of the most pleasant surprises of the past Monkey Week. For those not familiar with the scene of Malaga, the Saints have been a genuine divine revelation. Its leader, Count, helps us to interpret the gospel.
1. For those who do not know the scene Malaga and suddenly we are struck by a piece of the group, it seems, is made up stories live there explicadnos where you go out and, especially, who is Earl.
Well, it's a long story. The truth is that musicians are very concerned and we have long been urging the city's musical scene. I have had some bands in the lively historical Málaga, I have worked with many musicians half the world (The Who, Roxy Music) but I'm not someone who thinks too much in the past. Let's say my race is long, long, and includes bands such as Mosquito, House, Series B or Harry Octopus, among others.
other hand, we are all interesting projects. Both Alvaro Gastmans (bass) and Tristan Ulla, Israel Calvo (guitars) and Claudio Tamer (drums) have solo projects and collaborating with other musicians. This nourishes rubber Santos gives us a lot of vitality and inventiveness. Anyway, let's say we are a group of hyperactive musicians where you can find Argentine, Belgian and English. I compose the songs, but we are a close-knit band with the same interests.
2. That is, there is a lot swallowed and digested. In some places I've seen it defined as punk, maybe because you come from there.
Actually, musically I think we have very little punk. We are a pop band, but perhaps the most important legacy he left us is not punk music, but the attitude. I think there indeed that we are related. It is also true that we come from that scene. Punk marked us at the time (perhaps some more than others) and may continue to grow this seed within us. Say Santos rubber is a more traditional band on record, we are more pop and our live closer to the Rock `n` Roll of a lifetime.
3. In any case, there is an amazing facility for the construction of catchy tunes like "Life in a Blog" or "She's Vespino", to cite just two examples. I am among those who think "the powder, we can not be ...- punk song one without a good melody behind ...
As I mentioned before, I think that punk is just a philosophy, is more than a musical style. Actually many of the greats of punk that did nothing but pop songs played accelerated and more savvy. In fact, punk rock came to claim the virtues of pop, instrumental simplicity, which lasted three little minutes of songs and musicians to put aside the straw mental and dedicate themselves to playing for the public and not for themselves. These are some of the secrets of pop. And then there are the songs ... But that's the most complicated.
4. To me your album sounds very English: Mom, Nacha Pop, Los Secretos ... Very of that wave. It was a long time since I heard so many songs that were so fresh and so truly pop. From time groups were called "assemblies", which my mother still does. Do you feel particularly identified with any of these names or another not been said? What current one which you feel in the same league?
Honestly, I am very surprised to find those references (and I'm flattered), because we thought we sounded closer to the Beach Boys, Flaming Lips and Air, but it's great to discover that each listener has a different interpretation of sound songs. In fact, when one frees his creature, each makes his own and that is one of the best things about the songs, which no longer belong to their creators and all we can do ours, because they really are ours. I think all these bands you mention have a fundamental thing in common with us: The taste for well-made tunes, in the traditional way, and I am proud that we compare with bands how are you, because although we think otherwise, are bands that we grew and we learned a lot.
5. Live, however, you sound like a lot more powerful than on disk. More rockers. So much that I remember with forgiveness, The Troglodytes! Forceful guitars wrapped round songs.
Hahahaha! Well, you need not apologize for that. I'm friends with Sabino Méndez and is a great composer. I do not want to speak ill of anyone, but I think Loquillo and I do not seem in any way. Well, maybe where they exceed six feet and we are human, but nothing more. Another thing is the Troglodytes, which was a piece of R'n `R band, and if that's what you mean by your comparison, I think it's a great compliment. As I said before, we like the shows are hot and fun. Anyway, I guess that is the Rock, lol.
6. Why the title "Songs fog "for a disc so bright?
I know it's a contradiction, but I like playing against and not taking things for granted. It may be somewhat misleading, but I think there is an inner life in the songs, a life far more dark than it seems intuit to hear them. At least when I write them try to have several readings, I think the secret of the temporality of music is that under a simple facade you can find different layers, so that each listener is a bit different than the previous. Some also thought that dawn misty morning and at noon the fog lifts and the sun shines, is as great pop songs, ephemeral and beautiful, like a fog.
7. Sometimes your licks remind me of someone so uncomfortable to claim as Freddie Mercury. I happens on the bridge of "In the park," for example. Are you aware? Is it an ironic game? Sometimes, in the best sense, your voice reminds me of those used in off time the Muppets are a rock band.
It is certainly uncomfortable, but I think Queen did nothing wrong, have great songs, although it is true that they have many laughable. There is much irony in this. I am Ray Davies school on the issue of using sarcasm and irony in the songs. Humor is healthy I am very fond of music type Rocky Horror Picture Show and Phantom of the Paradise and I love the excess of Glam Rock, or the drama of Raphael or Jacques Brel. I guess all these things put them in a blender and see something like the way I play. I also love Serge Gainsbourg, but my favorite singer is Scott Walker.
8. With so much past, or call it maturity, how you see a group so sanote and honest as yours in a scene, The Independent, which is often dominated by a certain attitude to design? Do you feel like a sort of missing link? Where do you situate, although it is known that nobody likes labels?
We are a rock band and little else. I think we are quite modern band, although it is true that we are a bit in no man's land, or rather with one foot in each land. I do not see us as different, I think that deep down we are about indies with a sense of spectacle, adore the show.
FREEK Goma! November (I): Love and Carlos Santos of Goma 
I will upload my contents here FREEK ! November because, if miscalculated, my editors, friends and yet, they should be resting after beating the Monkey Week.
I've spent the shameful taste this month the figure of Charles of Love Maybe one of you does not sound. Yeah, man, yeah (oy, this is very Carlos del Amor) is that voice that always accompanies cultural news on the news of TVE.
acknowledge that it can be a controversial type (usually the case with the guys you spend personality) but in this case the question is given by the alleged emptiness of their pieces of information, which together with the unwavering attitude of happy- de-have-known journalist displays sometimes unbearable for many people. On facebook I found two groups of fans and two other opponents. The four have more or less the same number of people.
I think it's easy to attack, accuse, yes, banal, superficial. The question is always. How do you do? Did not realize that man, at least try to do something different every day? I remember, let me pass phrase Punset Eduardo, who said something like: "Everyone pay attention to the co-worker who is protesting, who complains constantly about everything, but disturb us, but we talked about it and took our time, but instead No one pays attention to the person who has taken care to beautify your balcony, and with it the city, placing a few geraniums. " "Corny? Maybe a little. So?
If it is to be corny, if I'm corny, for I will forgive. I will be, too, am from the provinces, but I like Carlos del Amor I like people facing the weight of routine, people seem to have faith that things can go better, not constantly engaged disappointed, to be back to all those who try to confuse the little disappointments everyday disappointments and showing the other cheek, always starting again and trying to do normal daily event unique. I stand by that, because making the news of culture can take two things: that the journalist was put in parallel physical and mental-space they occupy in the newscast (cornered in half a minute after the fourth hour of "sports") establishing a gray piece, flat, fill, or what ever happens, we are overwhelmed with several tons of scholarship.
Carlos is located in an equidistant position. Without overwhelming the personal data which, surely, not driving, but offering an exquisite content with wrap finish suggestive, sometimes even gets his piece was issued before sports. Sometimes it happens, sometimes wrong, sometimes it's funny because it looks like a character itself. If you do not risk, if not trying to be different every day, be safe, of course.
And
below, the critical disk Goma Saints. Tomorrow, the (long) interview with its lead singer. Carlos speaks, so thin, always attentive to culture
If I think about the origins of "The News of the 2" I see a young Lorenzo Mila waving from inside one of his Ralph Lauren . I still think and hear a deep voice, boycotted by cocks sometimes treacherous, owned by no one best fulfills the mission of this newsletter: freshness and closeness, phrases and simple, bidirectional communication ....
Years later, Carlos Love the voice, became visible. The young man who, apart from narrating the cultural news seemed to show some interest in them, appeared before us with its slender tipín a longer post eternal teenager in love with himself. Over the years, has achieved several successes, such as abandoning the constant tonnage affected eyebrow Michael Robinson can only do so without being irritating, and, most importantly, begin to be familiar to some viewers who do not leave at all indifferent.
The rock usually hate people who openly enjoys what he does, and Carlos del Amor is one of them. Enjoy as when Robert De Niro starring as a good time banalities. And it shows. And that's nice because, although it may sometimes snobbish or dapper, I love how someone tries to make his daily half minutes unrepeatable event. RUBBER SANTOS

Antenna Music Is the disc revelation of the year? Well, yes ... to the writer. Although Saints Goma, together (with them is to use this word) made by veterans of the scene Malaga, shot left and right, from Dinarama to Calamaro, although there is not a hair of innovation in either twelve cuts that make up this refreshing mist songs. " If you are granted the gift of recycling wise to use it well do without complex, especially if the gift you give to outline a round parade of songs that sometimes refer to Bowie ("I am diminished"), other some outstanding students of the teacher, as Suede, what happens in "The Girl of Vespino" and "Do not kill the musician!", where the sinuous melodies and sensual arrangements , already Carriers of the best pop emotions, unite with the phrasing of Conde, who do not hide its debt to Brett Anderson
, while "Rock & Roll Terminal" is a reflection of the "LSD" by The Beatles , and the final chorus of "Life in a blog" plagiarism, attention, " A new amore "Eros Ramazzotti ! It would be unfair to leave the trial of this album as a mere playground of influences, hence left for the final "In the Park", a pop whiplash, along with the aforementioned "My life in a blog", is the best card presentation of a group that comes to be in close coordinates (not accurate) which occupied name as Mom
