Tick tick tick tick tick tick Tickets!

This is the second post about concert tickets. Some of those shows will be always in my heart, special moments that will be remembered forever.

I saw Last Days of April just one day before my debut with Rakiss Meiniss. It was a great show and we won the following day also, it was a game at 9:00.

Teenage Fanclub, one of the ebst live shows I have seen in Tavastia, my favourite venue in Helsinki! Definitely astonishing!

The first time I saw Kent live was in Stockholm. That tour (Turné 19) was awesome, and Du & jag döden was a fantastic album!

Sonorama 2005. Mogwai, Maga, etc,

I was not supposed to attend this show, but a friend could not go, and I got the ticket. I liked it a lot though! I would like to see Bloc Party again soon.

And this could have been the best show I have ever attended! Magic The Posies in Madrid. One of the bands of my life.


And two of the festivals I went to last summer, I had a lot of fun in those! Great!

Besides, I will still attend concerts when possible. This summer I have already planned a couple of festivals and maybe some concerts. Let's see if there is a third chapter soon!!!

Give me a ticket !!!!

Este fue mi primer concierto serio: Los Planetas acababan de lanzar "Pop" y me encantaban.

These are some of the shows (better, the tickets that gave access to them) I have enjoyed most in nearly 15 years attending to concerts. I really have good feelings and memories about these concerts. Somehow are part of my life. It is very strange that some bands I have seen maybe ten years ago are still there and that, after 10 years we may "meet" again in a show (like the Foo Fighters last summer or maybe Placebo this next?) and see how have they grown up and feel how much have I grown too. For example, I saw Embrace, the british band when they released their first record, "The good will out" in 1998! and now, today I am listening to them again. It was a warm friday morning maybe ten or eleven years ago, I was in Villalba and they were playing at Los Conciertos de Radio 3, quite far away. My grandmother (I miss you today more than ever) told me not to go, but as stubborn I am, I said I was going. And I went and it was good. Also played on TV later. They played six songs and I liked it. Oh my god. Maybe I was 22 or 23.
Anyway, here are som historical tickets. Some of them may be older than you are. Some of these moments are probably before you started to listen to music. Ahhhh, it is sooo easy to go to a gig today, you can listen the songs freely and even become a fan without buying any cd...anyway, here they are.

That day I finished september exams, I think I had Thermodynamics or something like that... horrible... anyway, it is the warmest concert I have ever been to: meaning TEMPERATURE. Outside it was +18 and the glasses of the venue were steamed up.. seriously in was embarrasing, girls were fainting...paint of the walls stuck to t-shirts.. hell.. anyway, it was a damn good show by Weezer and The Posies.

Another glorious day...

Nada Surf have been one of my favourites also... 12 years ago already.

The first in the line ... yes I am a freak!


U-ru-sei Yat-su-ra! There always will be only one Urusei Yatsura


I really enjoyed this show and I am proud I attended to see one of the best spanish bands ever: El Niño Gusano. D.E.P. Sergio Algora. Genio!



Look at those three! They have to play in Roskilde!!!! They play in Provinssi rock... fuck!

And soon, a second chapter.

Best songs of 2008

I have been compiling songs that I consider as best of 2008. I made a playlist in last.fm, so I recommend everyonr who reads this post to go and check it. The website does not allow you to listen to the whole song in some cases (maybe I am too weird choosing the songs). Anyway, if you want to listen to the whole playlist, these songs may be available elsewhere.The playlist probably contains only 30 secs streaming that could be enough to discover if you like the song. Enjoy.

y como adelanto un par de videos

Disco Ensemble live @ Paradiso, Amsterdam

Realmente este grupo merece unos cuantos galardones este año: single del año por "Bad Luck Charm" o "Headphones" y probablemente al mejor directo por su concierto en Joensuu.

Pero otro video que quiero postear es el de Blood Red Shoes - Its Getting Boring By The Sea

Best albums of 2008

New technologies are great to develop a better world. New techniques are applied in research, normal life, construction, etc, to develop better tasks and to develop the World in general. That is what happens with the mp3 technologies and the internet. It allows you to listen to thousands of bands that would never had been reached you if internet was not there. So that is the point. After listen to an album I may buy it if I find a reasonable seller that sells it at a reasonable price.
Anyway, as I am listening to music all days, this list may be long, but that is thanks to the new technologies. And believe me I have bought quite a lot of those cds. But I can not buy everything I listen to. Impossible.
As always, no order established, just the best ones of 2008.

The authors of one of the best albums of this year that comes to an end were recorded and added to a famous website. Here it is:

Giving up

I guess there is a moment that you do. I can think that there is a moment you are so pissed off of living this life that you agree dying. I can not think about any other time you give up. You may give up in learning finnish or english or looking for a job that would suit you and still live your life happily. But the true moment is when you are absolutely tired of suffering, or when you feel you do not have anything else to do here. That is the trick I guess. Don't learn the trick. I will never give up. I miss the old Christmas days with you and the family, grandma. Don't give up. I love you.

Summer 2008... is gone

Omnipresentes Peces durante este verano. Solo 3 días falté para darles de comer...

Summer 2008 is over... a long time ago that is over here in Joensuu...in fact I don't know if it has come this year or it was just an illusion... anyway it was a good summer, and here are some pictures and a video about it. Enjoy.

Una de mis fotos preferidas en conicertos este verano: Kent y su despedida del Ankkarock 2008

Loco con Kashmir..

Kashmir en Ilosaari Rock 2008. El mejor concierto probablemente en mi opinión


Uno de los grupos del verano...
