Estoy buscando...

...y, aunque a estas alturas cabría pensar que lo que busco debería ser relativamente sencillo de encontrar, lo cierto es que no lo encuentro.

Busco la música que a Lucinda le gustaría hacer y escuchar, porque esa es la música que a mí me gusta. Pero tengo la sensación de que todo suena igual, salvo los tíos y tías que ya me gustan.


«I think in the world of rock music or whatever it’s called—anything outside of Nashville—there’s a lot more freedom within that industry to do whatever you want to do. Nashville tends to fall into this cookie-cutter syndrome. All the records are trying to sound the same. All the people coming to Nashville, who didn’t know anything about country music, they’re all coming to town, saying, “Hey! I’m going to write a country song! I’m going to jump on the bandwagon. There’s money to be made here in this country-songwriting business.” And the artists who were a little different and a little edgier—the industry didn’t support them. They have a tendency not to support the music that sounds like the older country stuff. I don’t know why that is.»

Busco y rebusco (Spotify, Facebooks varios, Allmusic, you name it), pero nada.

Sí, tantísimo tiempo desaparecido, sin escribir, y lo que vengo a soltar es mi mismo rollo de siempre.

Ea.

Ah, por cierto, escribir no escribo, pero lo que no dejo de hacer es abrirme más blogs.

Je.

«Thank you, nature»

Aunque apenas me he enterado de nada, he seguido fielmente la rueda de prensa de esta mañana en el CERN y reconozco que me he emocionado cuando el auditorio ha roto en aplausos cuando el portavoz de uno de los experimentos que trataba de detectar el dichoso bosón de Higgs (¡ojo, nada de partícula de dios!) ha mostrado esto:


Qué le vamos a hacer. :)
