Some days ago, i find out this masterpiece! An original edition of one of my all time fav records, Dioptria.  

Pau Riba is an eccentric catalan singer, psychedelic, pioneer, a bit crazy, weird and maybe misunderstood, but he has done one of the best catalan albums ever.

I didn't buy it but it's in my wishlist (hello Bluesman, helloooo!!)

2012-01-22T19:09:00.000+01:00

what we get free they have to buy

2012-01-17T10:54:00.000+01:00

I didn’t pay too much attention to PRAM since last Saturday afternoon, when Bluesman discovered me Shadow Shows of the Phantascope.

I can’t stop listening their tunes and watching their videos, specially this one.

Their web is also a must!

ode to a vinyl II

there are bands that catch my eye in a second. Spindrift is one of them.

"Mix of dusty and hallucinogenic soundscapes takes the listener on a cosmic journey through the desert as a preacher-turned-gunslinger sets out for vengeance."

2011-12-11T14:01:00.000+01:00

Bluesman's band are in the studio!

2011-12-05T16:47:00.002+01:00

although he can't play it, i think he loves his new soft synth. (and Pàmpol loves it too)

i love these kind of ideas
so last year we finally started our little family portrait project and so goes on!

i think i've told hundreds of times that Pàmpol is a real bluesdog, he looooves listening blues. Litlle floydie is his muse.

btw, i was wondering if you can vote us (PHILAT*LIA REC*RDS - T.T.A) .
thanks a lot!

have you ever spent a day in some rare, new venture, such as picking wild strawberries, and that night, just as you start to drift off to sleep, found yourself suddenly "looking" at the most real strawberries of your life?

Tomorrow, these three fellows are going to participate in Bingodisiac.
During the show performed in Auckland, New Zealand, all three remote musicians will be relayed via the internet from the geographical opposite side of the world, Catalonia.

If you are in Auckland, hope you enjoy it.
They are going to play tomorrow at 9:00 AM Europe (zzZZzZZZ)!!!

Blues Explosion, the coolest guys in town!

This past weekend I've been to PS11: three days, 260 shows, 8 stages, 140.000 people, queues, beer, fast food, long walks back home early in the morning (or late at night), best sofa ever, nicest rock'n'roll mates ever and also cool surprises: do you recognize who are those two gentlemen looking at Suicide while performing their first album?

i'm sorry for the quality of these pictures :(

"If they ever decide to put a fifth face on Mount Rushmore, I would nominate Pete Seeger. He is one of the great sons of this country."

Harry Belafonte

I’m not sure if it’s because of the spanish revolution or because of the rise of the extreme right wing in these past elections, but these days i’ve been listening a lot to Pete Seeger.

2011-05-20T21:38:00.002+02:00

i've made this horse cushion for a lady that says she was a crazy horse in a past life.

It's a fact that springtime is the most beautiful and nice season of the year.

I have been a little overwhelmed lately and i hadn't realized how i missed to go for a walk in the mountain.

2011-05-14T09:53:00.000+02:00

Good morning!! Spring, saturday and sunny, hoorrraaay!!

Pàmpol is not used to have guests at home. These days he has been been The Dog Statue.

Oooh my poor lonesome puppy!

It's time to introduce my sister. Like Lennon Sisters, we love to dance and talk to the animals.

yesterday was the International RecordStore day.
the best record store of our city celebrated it with some live concerts and free beer (ups!)

we wanted to do something special for this day, that's why we prepared a special cd with all the bands from the label (DiY power!)

it was a funny day, and aaaaaaaaall because of the music! yeahh.

2011-04-10T19:52:00.002+02:00

"Inre the notes and commentors and attitudes about me and my music and recordings i would like to say something. I do not, and have never thought of myself as a folk musician or a new age musician, guitarist, or sympathyzer. I despize all revivalists of folk music, and i despize all New Age music, even thougWill ackerman or some other equally obnoxious person might accuse me of being the grandfather of New age guitar, music, piano or whatever.
(..)
I do hope that nobody will try to make me out as a child of the sixties. I was playing what I play before and after sixties. This period had very little influence on me. I was never a hippie, and had no hippie friends. Why in the world don't you call me up if you want to know about these things?"

John Fahey
I love this sound.

Bob Dylan – All I Really Want To Do

No, and I ain't lookin' to fight with you,
Frighten you or tighten you,
Drag you down or drain you down,
Chain you down or bring you down.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

yesterday we went to a soccer match in el Camp Nou, it was my first time. i am not really quite interested in soccer, but if you live in Catalunya you must go to see Barça once in your life, at least.

i have to say i liked it. well, i can't understand all that fanatism but being there and seeing and listening all that crowd screaming and going crazy was a bit like if i was in a roman circus! oh, yes... i was very interested in the match.

if you want to see three hundred more pics of the match, you can ask me, don't worry!

2011-01-11T21:02:00.001+01:00

i don't have time. not to do all the things i would like to. this wood lamp and the tree wallpaper are utrijkdjflkdhjvkzººo0ºoO !!!!!

Going to Canary Islands means fresh air, warm weather, beach and sand. These islands are called the islands of the eternal spring, and I promise you it’s true.

It’s a pity that mankind tends to destroy every little piece of nature. Fortunately there are places that still remain the same.

i love this light. i think i can take pics of every inch of our home when there is this morning light.

i feel soooo happy in this place that i prefered to stay at home making some crafts instead of going to see " the authentic american folk singer" from spain live, bigott.

what's wrong with me?!!

in my opinion this is the best spanish video of the year, simplicty is beautiful. have a look and enjoy it!
