cherries time
The other day I bought a record.
bought time
cherries and unwittingly me many memories came to mind. First of all, that is I wanted to buy this album for a long time, since before it hits the market. I remember when I found out I was taping, I was very interested, very nearly took away the dreams and hopes and waits for the day. When I heard the first two promotional songs, Strange Days
and was not good, but it was the best
, I fell, I fell in love with the sound, lyrics, music, the atmosphere that the songs evoke. There was no way bajárselas of the official record, only listen, but I know something about internet, so I got out of there and gave the club wavs listening again and again while working at the university (just search the page from disk and it seems that no longer exists ... Mucker ...) Obviously, the record would not be sold here soon, so I decided to ask my friend the owl turn it down. Luckily, the pirates of the world had done their homework well and there was great difficulty in getting the mp3. So I heard and heard the hard-disks, it is a double-on the computer, the computer that reads mp3 music, the CD player, on my laptop and iPod. But I had the CDs ...
Finally, the other day I bought it and I relived one of those almost forgotten rituals that filled me with so much before. First, I bought it and could not wait to get to hear it, I had it in my backpack and could not wait to be able to open it and listen to songs that have been part of my soundtrack from the last 4 years or less. After all, is my second favorite album of all life, below only the Song
animal. When I arrived home, I decided to take a little impatient and froze the CDs. The myth says that if you freeze the CDs before you hear the sound quality increases and will be heard much better. I do not know if it's true or not, but I did. Overnight in the freezer while the minutes passed slowly. Maybe if I had not heard and internalized the songs in these few years, had not put up without listening. But hey, if I have learned in life is to be expected ... So I waited the morning comes. And here ...
Buy a disc not just put it, listening distractedly, forget it within the team and move on. Standing in front of the Pandora's Box, open it carefully, but full of excitement, the new smell that goes up the nose, the smile that appears on my face, listening to music while I read the card, find out what he meant by that phrase that sounded confusing -
"With a trembling voice ..."
- learn about the intimacies of the recording, the participation of Xel Pereda or Christina Rosenvinge-choirs, to rediscover each song, to rediscover the meaning ... I turn to account for the masterpiece that I have small hands. Is that in addition to all a disk is a unit, not a bunch of songs put there without any criteria ... And in a conceptual unity is also graphics, photos, the colors used, the font, style. I can finally say I are thinking of
full time cherries. And I can say again that is the best that has come to me in recent times. If my recommendations were good, the bill was recommended, but I have odd tastes ... and rare good taste.
writing this while playing
punishment or anything
and I remember it is a painful disc with songs that you can break your heart ... and they do ... A ruthless duo in rock and roll and spits you folk truths of life in the face. A Bunbury who knew who was who brought me here ... Nacho Vegas one he did not know and now lives in the Mount Olympus of my favorite composers. How beautiful it is to have a new album again ... this record the same album that made me live the most intimate time of cherries and could be returned safely to the time of beers.
PS: When my parents went to Madrid, I brought the DVD
Bunbury & Vegas Liceu BCN, November 30, 2006
, but not the same. You can not just listen to the DVD, the experience is different from video, discover not only the innovations of the live performance, but the gestures and movements of the musicians ... But that is another story ...
