The ironic part of it is that I will be in Mexico then, so will miss a gig I so want to see. Who's going?
We went to see the Foo Fighters concert at Provinssirock in Seinäjoki last weekend. One of the best gigs of my life, and one I've been waiting for 13 years since I found their CD at a supermarket so long ago.
Algunos de ustedes, queridos lectores, tal vez se acuerden de aquella canción de "Viva la Gente" que fue especialmente famosa en los años ochenta. En un momento de extremado cansancio (y humor muy simple, cabe señalar), le aplicamos un tratamiento que les sonará conocido a aquellos fans de La Guerra de las Galaxias que se hayan encontrado con las famosísimas Pants Wars. El resultado abajo:
"Viva la hueva
la hay donde quiera que vas.
Viva la hueva
que es lo que nos gusta más.
Con más hueva
a favor de hueva
en cada pueblo y nación
habría menos hueva difícil
y más hueva con corazón.
Habría menos hueva difícil
y más hueva con corazón..."
I was recently in the cradle of Grunge, but 15 years on, didn't really see much of it when I was there (I didn't visit the Experience Music Project then, so that's for sure a reason).
The climate, however, made me understand immediately why such a sound would find its origin there since it is pretty similar to what is found in the Nordic countries and as you may know hereabouts heavy metal, which can also be kind of depressing, is very popular.
I was very excited to visit the place of origin of bands I've liked since my teenage years, such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam & Foo Fighters, but I was not able to attend any gigs.
I just found this one when I was uploading all my videos to Share on Ovi. It's from Couleur Café, a music festival I attended in Brussels last year.
Eso sí, no me vengan con "Amapolita dorada de los llanos de Pekín" que así la cantaba un cuate que conozco, jajaja.
