Check this out, It's Christmas!

This whole thing really pisses me off, don't ask me what it is or to point to it, because it's all over us, around us. It's in the people, it's in your phone, it's in all this conversations, and maaan, I just want to smoke a big one and get away from all this pile of shit, that believe me, stinks so much and is splashing everywhere.

The world has gone upside down, we are going down on a fucking bullet train and there's another one on the same tracks heading to us, we don't stop even knowing we are going to crash so badly. War, police brutality, unemployment, corruption, dead children in the tabloids, racism and shit that it was supposed be sorted by 2015 it's still our everyday bread. I'm Spanish and I've been living in London for 6 years because I can't come back, god knows I really want to come back, but even knowing this city is a shit hole full of coke-heads-banker-full-of-shit, the rents are insane and the government is a fascist muppets show run by the high conservative high class YOU HAVE TO REMAIN HERE. You might ask yourself, WHY? I'll tell you why, because here you can fucking work. You can work, you can have a temporary contract (if you are lucky), an amazing minimum wage and work as hard as you ever work in your life to pay your crazy expensive room in zone 300. If you are lucky enough to speak a little bit of the language and to not complain and say yes to everything your manager says you can choose within a huge selection of opportunities like being a kitchen porter doing 12 hour washing dishes, catering jobs where people will fuck your ass so hard you won't be the same again, call centres, non paid internships... the world looks tough, isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I love the UK as much as I love Spain, I'm not ashamed to say it, I've met and I'm still meeting loads of friends and amazing people, but there's always the same old story about the ones in the top pushing us so hard we can barely see the slaps ahead.

My point is, I've been aware of the news so much lately I'm getting sick and there's a constant bad mood in the back of my head. We got elections in Spain at the end of Dec and my country denied me the vote because I was late 1 month and half before the elections. They fascists are so scared of us leaving the country that don't want to hear of us, we are not part of their plan. I don't know where I belong sometimes, I feel like Tom Hanks in that movie where he got stuck in an airport and couldn't leave at all, The Terminal?? 

I'm taking holidays really soon, can't wait, Merry Christmas everyone!

here's some good stuff, enjoy!

SABBATH AND DRUMS

There's something about weed that slows things up. First We all listened to punk rock and inspires you to say fuck off to everyone in your boring town. After a while your friend brings up his dad's Black Sabbath Paranoid CD, rolls a massive splif for 10, burned it down and your head blasts all over the room, small pieces of brain everywhere and Ozzy biting your cats head off. You realize that SLOW IS GOOD, you realize that maybe the old stuff is not pathetic and you have dreams about Iron Man. I loved it!

Because of slow and being stoned then you start paying attention on how cool are drums and the bass! Drums and bass are the best! I personally play guitar and sometimes I regret not playing drums in a doom band. As Rollins says in the Black Sabbath documentary, Rhythm section is the most important part of a band, ok kids? Think twice everytime you make one of the boring pro-wanker-musician jokes about bassists, drummers and light bolts. Please.
 Anyway, After that I just wanted to put some cool stuff, really cheers you up, after working with nutheads this really works, believe me!

TEENAGE FANCLUB. And I keep forgetting...

.... how much this band does for me.

Catching up with this songs after a while and still digging it like when I was 17.

H. GRIMACE

This is so good and I hope you get so obsessed with this track as much as I do. H. Grimace are one of the best live bands I've seen recently, they really care about songs, yeah! they really do. Just play cavepaint and you will listen to it thousand times, trying to digest such experience. After this last months of general disconformity and personal experiences of unemployment and almost homeless this songs got inside my skull, scratch my spine and soft my eyeballs. The video it's quite interesting actually, images that keep the rhythm and beautify the eye, a little bit clean and polished in my opinion but an amazing work in general, those hammer bangs are really cool. Anyway, not long ago Tom from one of my London favs Gloss Rejection told me, as something like to be aware, to check the new H. Grimace stuff as it was the best he was ever heard for a while, oh boy, how right he was, it really does!

Go on kids, judge by yourself:

Did you know??

About the Bananacuda??

This song could destroy the whole perception of Punk music.

Winter's remedy

2014 it's been such a weird year, so many changes affecting my personality on different way. Personal and musical, personal's just shit but musically one of the bands I was playing, the first one in my London live when on hiatus at some point before summer (can't remember now) and I've been kind of lost for a while, luckily enough I started Flemmings (my other band) along my good friends Mads and Jez and my whole musical taste and songwriting looks that is changin... again...yes... weirdo, isn't it?

I started getting into Hardcore, metal, loads of Melvins, spent evenings listening to the Pussy Galore and smoking a whole pack of fags, I feel being 18 again. I'm fucking 28 and that makes me think if I got already to my musical pick... I don't really know, but it feels sooooo good. Check this out if you haven't, pure rock n roll chaotic magic

 

No Surfing

I've stole this from the amazing Ben Pams and I think we all can see ourselves reflected in those fantastic cartoons.

Listen to PAMs and they'll become your favourite band ever
