New blog: Todos los discos →
I started this new little blog where I’m documenting in pictures my entire record collection, or at least trying to. Why? Because it’s fun. Also I’m doing a huge memory excercise and writing when and where I got each item. Follow this if you wanna :)

NPR Music's 100 Favorite Songs of 2012 →
AWESOME! My song “La Espina del Cardenche” made it to the 50 Favorite Songs of 2012 list put together by NPR Music. I didn’t really release a lot of new music this year, so I was surprised to even be considered for any year-end list. I’m happy it was with this song, I’m particulary proud of it.
If you still haven’t heard/downloaded it, get it HERE.

Tour Notes - Feb '12 // España (pt2)

I fell asleep almost instantly, very boring bus ride, until I found out there was internet connection, score! The highway to Galicia has such a lovely landscape, for real. The promoter’s girl, Sabela,...

Tour Notes - Feb '12 // Italia
I opened my eyes and thought “this is it: I’m doing the rest of the tour by myself”. That means a lot of things: I have to take care of everything, and be alert at every second; one misstep and I’ll get lost, miss the show and won’t get paid. Also means a lot of spending time alone and thinking and thinking, that can drive you a little crazy. And you better pray that...
