What I have to say about music...

.
.I'm into Indie, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Baroque Harmonic Pop, grunge, Pop Punk, alternative metal, progressive rock (...)
as well as all of the musical expressions BEFORE rap and hip-hop (... yes, before all of that new tragedy they call music in mainstream radio stations).
I loved the '80s, and I miss them, I admit my sin... the '80s gave us his Majesty Thom Yorke; and I also loved the '90s ...they brought to us the incomparable Eddie Vedder and the absolute God of the abyss: Maynard.

Old friends, don't panic!!! I will always be a devoted fan of Jazz, Maria Callas, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and all expressions of good music...but never Rap!!!
Help me keep my life "hip-hop-free"
I'm a child of the '70s so, go figure about the rest of the bands, singers and styles I like!!!

A Weekend in New York

What a great weekend I spent in NY City
It was a little chilly, yet nice, and

Fue un fin de semana estupendo, y creo que lo mejor de esa escapada a New York fue visitar la exposicion de Fotografia de Richard Avedon que se encuentra en el International Center of Photography.

Avedon's own interest was always in the people, never in the fashions. In fact, the models tended to add a layer of complication to what he fundamentally believed was the
 relationship between photographer and sitter. As he said: "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he (sic) is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks."

 
In this famous photo taken at the Cirque d'hiverParis, in August 1955 
you  can see the glamorous Dovima wearing the first evening dress designed for Christian Dior by his new assistant, Yves Saint-Laurent.

After Dovima's death, in 1990 (age 62) Richard Avedon said, "She was the last of the great elegant, aristocratic beauties... the most remarkable and unconventional beauty of her time."

Fleet Foxes



...a five-piece Seattle-based band signed to Sub Pop and Bella Union.
The band came to prominence in 2008 with the release of their second EP, Sun Giant, and their debut full length albumFleet Foxes....
Both Sun Giant and their eponymous debut album received much critical praise and reviewers often noted their use of refined lyrics and vocal harmonies. The quintet describe their music as "baroque harmonic pop jams"
