I remember a midnight shop in Barrio Alto, there was a boy in there with a tear tatooed under his eye. As clueless as I can get, I didn't knew I liked The Cramps until someone nice gave me the whole set of volumes that compile the amazing Lux & Ivy's Faves. By listening to this it reminded me to a whole set of John Waters soundtracks I was obsessed with for a while, I suspect his taste is not that far from L&I's.

I wish I didn't had to spend 16 hrs on plains and airports to get to my mom's. It's so sad Lux recently died. With all this moarning I almost forgot to say that the still above is from Water's Cry Baby (1990). UPDATE: Not sure if this works but you might be able to get all the volumes in this blog.

The heat is what we are all complaining about lately. The image above is a still from the film The Passanger (1975),  I really liked the portray of Spain in the 70's and the summer heat which is the reason for this play list.

Para Mariana

Around a week ago we finally set up the projector in Boo's terrace and did the screening of this amazing film, that someone recommended to her.

I was dubious because most of time Boo and I have some tensions regarding what to watch on movie nights, though I have to admit we always get to happy agreements, and even better on nice surprises, such as this one.

Step across the border is just amazing, not only because the protagonist, guitarist Fred Frith an ex-Aksak Maboul member is a charming human-jukebox but also because the image-sound relationships are done in such a way that I am incapable to put a adjective to it.

It was released in 1990, which is almost 20 years ago, surprisingly  is not as widely known as I would expect, I am glad to feel I haven't dug enough yet, so there is an exiting expectation to find jewels such as this.

Feeling clever besides being self-delusive is lonely and boring, rather to feel clueless and curious. Ah!, one last thing, I love Arto Lindsay's bits, who would've imagine he was a nervous and tormented skinny being?!

My little sister is visiting, as I have some spare time I was planning to take her to some recognized buildings in the Spanish landscape, she is an architecture student. As I know almost nothing of architecture I started with the obvious, Valencia's Calatrava, Bilbao's Gehry, Madrid's Herzog & de Meuron, Barcelona's Gaudi's. Until I was lucky enough to find this great pointed map that just fits on what I wanted.

Though this is not a Galinsky guide but it's pretty well updated, thanks very much Mr. Kliger.

Currently I am taking a workshop on electronics at medialab-prado and somehow is full of architecture students, I've asked if they could add something to the map and they said it was pretty good already, though they will take off the university and obvious spots.
