Leire from Spain here
This is my first update so I’m slightly “nervous. ” Well, I live in Bilbao, which used to be “the industrial town in Spain” but after seeing it all come down, it’s become a city for tourists, more or less, we even have one of those lovely Guggenheim museums et al. And I’m supposed to talk about (Northern) Spain at night but, trust me, it’s quite boring and I don’t feel like making you waste your time so I think I’ll be doing some reviews on anything that springs to mind…
Last night was dead boring… some friends and I went to this so-called indie club, I was having a great time but they weren’t so we had to leave for a not-so-indie-club. I’ve noticed the streets are full of too young people… it’s awful! For gosh sakes, what are a bunch of 12-14-year-old-kids doing at 2am?! I miss the old times, when everybody knew everybody, etc, now most of them go out somewhere else and I’m there with a few mates surrounded by shallow drunk CHILDREN! We’re, of course, planning to visit cooler places so check back for updates!
Placebo’s 2nd album Black Market Music is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.! I reckon I was a bit too disappointed by their 2nd album Without You I’m Nothing (maybe because I was completely obsessed with Hole and the Manics at the time), and had already made my mind up to stop being a fan. But then, I was in London when they released Taste in Men (the 1st single for this album), and two months later they’re succeeding in Spain (the album has made 27th in the charts!) and hey, I feel the URGE to go buy it…
I’m also a bit upset due to the release of Rialto’s new single Girl on a Train. It’s available online only at gimmemusic.co.uk and all the songs are great (as usual), but it’s 7.50 quid!! Boo hooo–I’m definitely gonna have to wait for a long, long time then see if it’s released off-line, pleaze!
Anyway I have to leave, speak to you soonish. By the way I’ll try and include a list of interesting links (which will be somehow related to the topics I’ve written about) at the end of every update, so if you want your url included and reviewed, email me!
Leire xxx
