  • Doña Chispita

    Dicen que lleva ahí más de un siglo. Hay quien piensa incluso que llegó junto con la primer bombilla eléctrica de la Ciudad. Su nombre es Ambar Electra Gomez Volta, pero todo mundo la conoce como “Doña Chispita”, la señora de la tienda de electrónica del número 110-B de la calle República del Salvador.

  • Miss Little Spark

    Some say she’s been there for a whole century. Others say that she arrived to Mexico City with the first light bulb. Her name is Ámbar Electra Gómez Volta, but everyone knows her as “Miss Little Spark”, the owner of the electronics shop at number 110-B, República del Salvador, Mexico’s own electronics shantytown.

  • Track by track : Lumiere’s Coloso #10

    We invited Lumiere to write a few blurbs about their long-in-the-making upcoming album, Coloso. One every day for the next forthnight. Here’s ‘Gragrofe’. 10. Gragrofe – Quisimos retomar un par de canciones de nuestro Fatalismo E.P. para darles un enfoque más visceral, con el sonido en-vivo-del-estudio-de-grabación.  Quien aún no lo sepa, un GRAGROFE es un objeto…

  • Interview: Dinosaurs are shit dragons

    Hey, what the actual frijoles? I like dinosaurs, you bastards! We’ll let it slide because their EP is noisy and funny (link), and also because, let’s face it, you want a Gold Dragon (+5 in roll against disintegration) against a crappy Stegosaurus (-10 in all saving rolls. cowards). The side project for several members of Goonies…

  • Track by track : Lumiere’s Coloso #9

    We invited Lumiere to write a few blurbs about their long-in-the-making upcoming album, Coloso. One every day for the next forthnight. Here’s ‘Pez Plata’, which someone in this very site tried to cover in 8-bit magic. It failed. Let’s listen to the original one. 9. Cuidado con lo que deseas: No es una advertencia, es una…

  • In Memory of Layne Staley

    Today is the tenth anniversary of Layne Staley‘s passing. It’s a strange thing, seeing how any comments & writings about the Grunge movement/era seems to focus mostly on Kurt Cobain and his passing, but never in the importance of Alice in Chains.  From a personal point, the music of Alice in Chains spoke to me in ways that Nirvana never did. More importantly, the…

  • A-Sun Amissa – Desperate in Her Heavy Sleep

  • These days (or janitor of lunacy)

    Sometimes I find the connections a bit too overwhelming. Six degrees of separation and all that. Back in the early 80s, I had returned from working in Casablanca to Manchester, and I got involved in the music scene there again. I used to do the door at various venues for Alan Wise, a promoter and…
