Antes que acabe la noche ...


Another great band from Barcelona...

Their biography mentions they met in a ship "Santa Maria Mercedes", where Remo was playing for the crowd in the warehouse in the lower floors and Renata was working as a waitress on the upper glamorous restaurant..

On a trip to South America they docked in Sao Paulo... and they start up an argument about who should get down from the ship first..

After that quick meeting they decided to collaborate which lead to the composition of several tunes..

Being the first of them "Vamonos", (Let's go away) .. which we present you below !

Thing like that drive me out of my mind...



This song maybe on my top ten list since the first time I heard it..

The whole transformer album is electric and just looking to the cover is a must to understand Rock history..

inside that masterpiece.. you'll find.. David Bowie, Mick Rock, Herbie Flowers, Mick Ronson, Klaus Voorman, Sid Vicious, Andy Warhol, Ronnie Ross, Henry Mark and John...

You can take a walk on the wild side, attend a makeup session and a terrific phone conversation in NYC... You may also find a perfect day..
You may be hit by a flower, or you may loose your head if you start giving some ...

Just waiting for a Hammer to Fall...



Guitar Riff on its best.. this time with Brian May, and the incredible Freddie...
Not seeing Queen in concert may be one of the biggest disappointments in life...

thank you for this bitter knowledge...



Heard on the news that is Rufus' birthday today,.

Haven't listen to him lately.. but man.. I remember when I first heard this tune.. and everything in it.. called my attention so much.. from the title to the Queen-like chorus.. which I miss so much..

if you don't mind... I don't mind


I love the Buzzcocks, because when I was living in London with my bro and good mate Charlie, we went looking for bargain records on whatever pawn shops we could find...

One day we bough for just 1 ₤ each The Head on the Door by the Cure and Singles Ready Steady by the Buzzcoks.
In that compilation there are great songs.. like Noise Annoys, Orgasm Addict, What do I get?, Whatever Happened ...

Suddenly this song came on the air.. and couldn't help singing this on top ...

Where the skies are so blue..


We were playing last Friday.. and then some guys from the crowd asked us to play "Sweet Home Alabama".. So we did..

When we were done.. I came to talk with them.. and this girl, asked me which was my all time favorite American Band.. and I said.. "The Doors", she didn't even know who they were.. and asked me why.. Didn't have to think about it.. "well.. the lyrics are clever, the music is incredible, they are sort of the most original and daring band I've ever heard.."

Then she asked me about Bob Dylan.. well.. I said.. "he's not a band.. but he must be the greatest performer and writer of the century and his influence goes beyond music".. Then she said,... "He's English right ? " .. "WHAT ??! " ,, "Dylan English ???.. how can you say that ???"

"He went all the way from Minnesota to New York, to get on the folk circuit and became an icon for singing for civil rights in America ".. Her face was like if I was speaking in Chinese..

.. so bad there was no time to speak about Neil Young..

Through the sleeples nights I cry for you..



Listened to this song 80 times now..

Printed the chords and lyrics and will record it myself .. maybe this evening..

It's on the last record from Eddie Vedder, Ukulele songs.. great surprise.

Do I Deserve to be ? ...


This is the best example of what a Rock Band should be..

But the greatest thing on Pearl Jam were Eddie's originality in lyrics.

Back then I was just, listening to all the stuff inside this songs.. the drums are still something out of the best I've ever heard.. Dave Krusen, left the band just after Ten was released.. and I really believe they never sounded better than this.. at least on a record..

The guitars are just McCready doing Hendrix and Gossard doing Jimmy Page,... really .. listen to it..

And Jeff Ament.. well.. amazing bass player.. Jeremy has one of the best bass lines in rock...

And the guy who was leading them, Eddie Vedder.. in the great tradition of Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, a real guy showing his feelings ...

if you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line


Love hardcore bands .. from the 80's and 90's ...

When I first heard NOFX.. I couldn't believe it.. man !! they were playing like Metallica with Queen backing vocals.. and not pretending to be bigger-than-life ... real punk rock attitude..

Saw them live when they released Punk in Drublic .... that record was great.. the only problem is that their three previous releases were even better.. Ribbed, White Trash, Two heebs and a bean and the EP The Longest Line, where this song, obviously, is found.

Now they are coming to Barcelona to play next Tuesday and my good mate Luis bought tickets to go..

So I am back again playing air drums while listening to this old stuff..

Check it out..



In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
not just a headlight
like the one that's heading right for me
it would be nice if things could turn out right
turn out right yeah
don't think I'll ever see the day

I must have done something wrong
or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
that's sweet and sour
my life is sweet as saccharine
you know three week old milk and grapes are not
not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen

I must have fucked with some witch
in turn she cursed me, cursed my life
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line

But officer that was a yellow light
the light was red, son
insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
for someone lacking luck, like me

At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
at the end of the longest line

This bloody mary's lacking a tabasco...




man ..!! have fun, make a band, write a song, say I love you to a girl.. get drunk, get naked.. go to the beach, sleep on the sand... take a plane, take a ride on your motorbike.. draw your face on a paper and hang it on the wall..

but enjoy.. !!!!!

Teardrop on the fire, Fearless on my breath





Ok..Which song gives you the goosebumps each and everytime ??

this one works for me



Love love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

you're stumbling into
you're stumbling into

Tuesday's gone with the wind.



I remember listening to Free Bird long time ago.. and be totally struck by it.

Yesterday.. I was thinking which songs were about Tuesdays.. and remembered that Metallica covered this one from Lynyrd Skynnyrd...

And that was it..

Great song, great arrangements and amazing solo..

beware of the growl of your soul

This video is the first single from Eric Fuentes new project after The Unfinished Sympathy.
I must say, that saw it first hand and though it was good..

A few weeks before I read there was so much controversy about it because of the obvious references to a military terrorist group.

And then all the fuss.. People seem to be so easily triggered by this images or metaphors.. anyway... that was the real attitude for a rock band.. And I'm happy for them to gain this attention.



it's time to borrow your soul
squeeze it up to a new direction
it's time to break up the weight from the shade of your soul

it's time to borrow your soul
approve your sins and approve your madness
it's time to measure the weight of the hate in your blood
the weight of the hate in your blood

it's time to borrow your soul
we take your handbag will give you sadness
beware of yourself
beware of the growl of your soul
run away from the growl of your soul..

I’ll just say fare thee well ...


Well there ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
even you don't know by now
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
and I'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

and it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
the light I never knowed
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
but don’t think twice, it’s all right

So it ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
Like you never done before
and it ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
I can’t hear you anymore
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

so long, honey babe...
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

I'm in love for the first time

ocean trip is good for me...

Ricky Malberg is a musician of the Barcelona scene, involved in several projects

Here is his first release as an independent artist ... which is this fresh and moving "Ocean Trip"

The song has certain flavor of Bow Vow Vow "Fools rush in" with Lou Reed's voice ..

Might also sound like World Music with 50's guitars..

I just love the trumpets which remind me of Herp Albert
