  • In Memoriam : Jason Noble

    Jason Noble once said “I like when lyrics exist with some freedom from the music – without describing it.” I think that pretty much describes the lyrics of Shipping News, a band that changed my life, with an album called One less heartless to fear pretty much being a regular soundtrack to my every day activities.

    En algún punto del corredor de la Roma, dónde lo hipster fantoche encuentra lo razonablemente bueno, me encuentro con Renee, la vocalista (y creadora) de Mooi. El clima ya esta nublado (bendito verano Mexicano) y me invita a pasar. Un gemido tras una puerta revela que Renee tiene una ultrasimpatiquísima perrita llamada Mia. Con una mano…
