Knowledge
Yes it happens, you know these conversations where you do not fit? You have nothing to say about that because you do not actually know any shit about the thing that they are talking about, but... What about the opposite? Didn't it happen to you to talk about something and the person in front of you going like.. what are you talking about man?
It happened to me the other while talking about Bam festival in Barcelona. We've got The Hives playing on Saturday, and this friend of mine said, ahh I don't know them... Then I added that Billie The Vision & The Dancers are playing before, and she went like oh, I like them! Here you'll find why.
It's the power of shoehorn and yeah, media, like it or not! If it wasn't for hypemachine top songs, I wouldn't got to know that Victoria Bergsman's band Taken By Trees had made such a delicious cover. Ah! she used to play with the Concretes and was the female voice in "Young Folks". Just for your information.
The environment seems to be so important! What if this audience and hostess would have known a bit more about Muse? Check their hilarious performance!
By the way, if you do not dare to DJ because you do not know what your audience knows about music, you can even play being DJ in few days and it is gonna be alright, nobody will ask you for a song that you didn't wanna know and nobody will complain, you know?

A brief look into mainstream
This last week I was looking for some mainstream stuff. You know, what common people listens to, radio music, especially dance music and that means checking out lists and radio station charts, Pioneer, Now! and Ministry Of Sound compilations, etc etc.
I got to realize that I have developed somehow a very alternative taste, at least when it comes to this moment. And don't know if it's because of this late 80s-early 90s comeback but it's funny that what I found attractive to my ear was no deep, no funky, no techno but fun hip-house. Yeah, I always hated most of crunk, most Kanye West stuff, this Spanish house music on fashion here, etc, so it was a very hard task to find something that I liked on those lists.
Revisiting old tunes sometimes works well, there is a good example. Bob Sinclar prefers to create a new anthem with old school rap pioneers Sugarhill Gang that also provided yummy material for TV shows.
That is a bit far from that Jamaican sound he was being popular lately along with other producers such Yves Larock (oveer the raiinboow, soo high, café BOJAN! reggaeton!). But I prefer this other Jamaican sound coming up from the UK. And probably this would have been a summer song in the 90s, but we are in the 00s and Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull and so on, are the radio kings so... uno, dos, tres, cuatro, pap pap pap...

Connections
I need some kind of club-detox; preparing the session for tuesday and some nights out in a row are making me feel a bit sick. Hopefully we've got the perfect placebo for it this weekend. Sintonitzza is a free indie music festival that happens every year here and brings us some of the most important national bands, having this year the omnipresent Delorean, 2008 sensation Elastic Band or Half Foot Outside. But that doesn't end up there! On Sunday we'll also have The Pinker Tones!
I will leave you with some more guitars this time. Looking for info about this song (included in summer's "A pleasant dream" compilation) I found it in another blog that posted the same video I did last time. Who cares, they both rock...
