I love this song!


Hi everybody!!

Let's get back to the classics...in my opinion, the 70's was the best decade fot the music ever....so many new groups, styles, mixtures...and as a result, we have a lot of master pieces from that age.

Apart from the songs of that decade, what makes the seventies such an important period for the music, is that there were a number of groups that were a reference for groups and singers some years later.

Maybe, one of the most important groups in terms of influence was The Velvet Underground. This group didn't publish many LPs, even they didn't sell too many records, but it was enough to make an important contribution for the history of music.

If ask singers and groups of the 70's, 80's and beyond for their influences, most of them will name The Velvet Underground. C'mon, even the name of the group is such an elegant one!

The have a couple of curious things, such as Andy Warhol being their manager or having a model (Nico) as main singer for their first album.

After that, Lou Reed (Take a Walk in the Wild Side) was the singer for the group, and for, among the others, this amazing song, one of the most elegant ever.

Please enjoy this jewel.

Will be a modern classic

Hi hi!!

As the last post was about a modern classic song such as Lady, by Modjo, today it's time to bet....I would put some good money on that the song we are presenting today won't be forgotten in a couple of months...

The song, "We are yong" by the group Fun is well known today and heard in radio stations all over the world....I thought this would be a one-shot group, and that this was the only song from they, but, surprise!....Spanish friends, look for the song "Some nights" and tell me about it....

So, here we go with.....

Fun We are young

We are back!!!

Hey guys!

After a looooooooooong time since the last entry, and after a nice summer break, I am back to keep on showing my sister that not only Spanish music is great, so I will try to be more constant and post more regularily.

If this blog was about Spanish music, the best song for today would be this one....

 
 
...but as the blog is about music in English, I've chosen a more suitable one.

Welcome back all, and please, enjoy!!

Love!

Hey!

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! One of the most important things in life (if not the most important one) is to love and to be loved. You can love your family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, your pet, who or whatever, but without love life doesn't make too much sense.

One of the best voices in history, our beloved Freddy Mercury, found one of the best ways to express this...

C'mon!!

Hey friends!! (And sister!! By the way, how about your exam??)

Here we go with another song...this one may not be as well known as some others, but it's always nice to find new good songs....

It's a really funny song, so suitable for those moments when you feel you are not smiling as much as you should...

Enjoy!!

Hi again!

Hey!!

Yes, I know, I know, I have not published aything for a couple of weeks...I am busy, but not so busy, sorry! I'll try to be more constant!

Well, let's listen to one of my favourite songs ever...and it also could be applied to the star of this blog, my dear sister!!

This guy, Van Morrison, is famous because of his lovely music, but also because of his legendary temper (here yo can see some examples http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=17620).

Anyway, I love this song veeeeery much, so please, enjoy it as much as you can!

At home again

Hi folks!

I am sorry I was not able to post a new song yesterday, with all the meetings, trip back, and finally the R. Madrid - Barcelona football game (we won!!).

But here I am again, always ready to post a little piece of good music!

While driving to work this morning, I was thinking about the huge amount of people, cars, traffic jams and so on that we have to deal with every day those who, as me in Madrid, live in big cities...sometimes we may think that this is a jungle....these guys thought the same some years ago...well, the lyrics don't talk exactly about traffic jams :-)

Enjoy!

From Austria with love

Hi again!

Today, due to work meetings, I am writing from a hotel room in Vienna.

I have a little bit of time to show my sister another good song, and I had already chosen one (in fact I am listening to it right now), but I have preferred to save it for tomorrow (or later) and put an more suitable one for the ocassion....as I said I am in a hotel, and outside is snowing, so I can share a song about hotels, or another one about snow...

Snow songs are often Christmas songs, and, although we are already in 2012, there are no good Christmas songs...We can also consider listening to that 90s singer, Snow, the first white rap singer (not Eminem!)...but emmmmm.......welll, I leave here just the link for those who don't love too much their brain... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0yGvypBwyA&feature=related

So....the other option, hotels, give me the chance to show you one of the best songs of modern history, full of magic and surrounded by all kind of interpretations abou the real history that inspired it...you can surf the web and look for all of them...here is the wikipage of the song

Here it goes!

PS: Dear sister, these are the guys of the "Hell freezes over" I recently told you!

Starting...

Welcome all!

As my dear little sister Elena loves music, but just Spanish music, I have decided to create this blog. Thanks to it we will see that, although Spanish music is great, there is a whole world of music from all over the planet waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

Of course this blog will be written in English!

I will try to update it daily, but forgive me if my busy days and my lack of memory get combined and make me forgetting it from time to time...

Well, I have been thinking a lot about which one is going to be the first song of the blog...at the end it is an historic moment!! There were many candidates, but the chosen one had to have the word "sister" in it!

Enjoy it!
