Last week was a little bit hectic. My eldest brother came to London after Easter holidays, so I spent every evening after work with him. Japanese restaurant on Tuesday, We Will Rock You on Wednesday, proper English pub on Thursday and Camden Town and Covent Garden on Friday, with some dancing with my colleagues afterwards and spending the night at Aaron and Andi’s, which means, an absolutely fantastic breakfast on a huge and sunny balcony on Saturday.

My life has changed a lot in the last few months: I moved with two lovely English girls into a wonderful flat,  I have been partying a lot, meeting amazing and interesting people, some assholes too (whom are better to be ignored), eating healthier, doing a lot of exercise and learning about myself.

I always thought I couldn’t be alone, I was scared at the beginning due to all the big changes, but I have proved to myself that I am absolutely capable of whatever I am intend to do and I am really proud of it. London and every single experience I am having here is helping me to be stronger.

I am enjoying my friends more than ever (missing the Spanish ones), enjoying the sun whenever it shines and above all, being really positive and feeling happy with my new life. Now it’s time to think about a quick visit to Spain

PS: I wrote this post last night when I was fine but I woke up with a horrible sore throat and some fever, cannot go to work and everything in TV is crap. Anyway…

Have a happy and productive week

Listening to: Queens Of The Stone Age – No One Knows

Just some random experiments I made with my camera and some candles at home a few weeks ago.

I don’t know much about photography. The only thing I know is I love it and I love to experiment with my camera.

When I have some more free time will experiment with some other projects I have in mind. Thanks to everyone that have a minute to visit this meek blog and flickr gallery

Last sunday, I had the opportunity to go to one of the concerts that has surprised me the most.

Seen Moby’s electronic background, it was too difficult to imagine a 100% unplugged concert, even more when thinking about my favourite songs (they are all quite electronic). Actually, it wasn’t 100% unplugged, as they used an electric bass guitar as he said: “We couldn’t find a decent acoustic bass guitar, so it is not a 100% unplugged concert,  apologies for that” (or something similar, I don’t remember the exact words he used).

The concert started with Kelli Scarr singing some of her songs. She has been helped by Moby to create her new album ‘Piece’, and to be honest, she has a really sweet voice, although it reminds me to Feist voice. I liked her. You can download her new songs from her website, I already did that.

I really appreciate musicians that bring the opportunity to download some of their music, I always buy them at the end (if I like it, of course, but that is almost every time ).

Then Moby showed on the stage. He started to speak, and the only thing he was saying was “thank you thank you thank you”. They started with ‘Pale horses’ from the new album. Amazing, how it sounded with the violins, the cello, the piano, well, everything!

In the middle of the concert, they stopped for an interview. Sophie Heawood, an award-winning music journalist was in charge of it. Most of the questions were from the audience, and there were two I remember I liked the most: this was obvious “Why does your heart feels so bad?”. Moby answered some guy (don’t remember the name) said the album Play wasn’t so good, so his heart felt so bad after listening to that album (lol). The second question I remember was from some music students that need to make some kind of project and they wanted to quote Moby, so he said: “Big music labels deserve to die”, all in a humour tone, of course. He seemed so unpretentious, like he was talking to a bunch of friends on his living-room. I really liked him.

Then the concert continued, playing all of my favourites songs Lift me up,  Find my baby, Why does my heart feel so bad?, Slipping away, We all are made of stars , and finished the concert with  Honey.

Most of the songs were sung by Kelli Scarr and Joy, a purely blues/soul voice that trapped you and makes you don’t want to listen to anything else.

It was a wonderful night. Thanks Moby!

And here is one of his new songs. I love it and the cartoons are amazing!

Llevo ya un año y pico viviendo en Londres, y a pesar de que hecho de menos España, no puedo dejar de reconocer que esta ciudad es la caña.

No solo porque vas a un bar de copas y no estas escuchando a David Bisbal, sino que la oferta cultural es inmensa (e impresionante).

Imagináos ahora un escenario, tres columnas enormes, como si fueran tres rascacielos que se iluminan y ves sombras de gente subiendo por sus escaleras internas. Entonces de repente, se escucha un estrépito y el suelo comienza a temblar como si de un terremoto se tratara. Era causado por 23.000 personas pegando botes al ritmo de Uprising y yo me encontraba entre ellas.

Nos sorprendió bastante, pero la siguiente fue Resistance, una de mis favoritas del último disco. Y luego, empezaron a tocar de los discos antiguos… New born, Time is running out, Supermassive Blackhole, Hysteria, Stockholm Syndrome, Unintended (va por ti Javi!), Starlight, Map of the Problematique… intercalando algunas del nuevo… Undisclosed Desires, Unnatural Selection, United States of Eurasia, Guiding Light y Exogenesis (Overture en el bis).

Y para terminar, por qué no con una de las mejores:

A pesar de que el concierto me encantó y disfruté como una enana (no es que sea yo muy alta, no), me ‘decepcionaron’ un poco ya que no tocaron ninguna de las dos que yo considero como las mejores: Butterflies and Hurricanes e Invincible.

Pero bueno, Madrid prepárate, porque lo vas a flipar!
