[google:Hooverphonic]. Interesting name for a musical group from Belgium. Even though I had seen the name floating around on the net for a while, I had actually first heard them in Chilé through a fellow Belgian, and my first impression was that I wasn’t impressed. Then I thought no more of it…

Well, Monday it is again, and I got a book (UK import) from Amazon Canada over the weekend by Willy Russell (renowned English dramatist of Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine).
I’ve been here since yesterday morning and Santiago is a very pleasant city. Chileans are very warm and welcoming and extremely relaxed.
First time in a bit that I’ve posted in a while… I’ve been spending time listening to old and new things. Making small new discoveries as usual.
Today, I was working diligently on some projects at work today, listening to an archived Janice Long radio show on BBC featuring Moz (Oh… that’s Morrissey’s nick for those who don’t know). The pics on the BBC Web site show the 43 year old looking much older (hints of gray) and more distinguised (than I remember him) these days. His life in California hasn’t been unkind to him at all… Believe it or not, it’s the first time I’ve actually heard his soft Mancunian speaking voice. It’s one thing to hear it in song, and another to actually hear it spoken…
As for the other two CDs, the “discovery” artists (and they both happen to be French), I bought 30 by known resident Hacienda DJ (at least before The Hacienda closed down), Laurent Garnier and Music Kills Me by « rinôçerôse ».
I heard two divine songs this evening after listening to a Garage/House music stream. Actually, I found out that the actual the name of the collaborative duo is Live Element (Gossip Records) and the two songs that I heard (Dejame Soñar and Can’t Let You Go feat. Neilla) were recorded under a different production name, Native New Yorkers.
One of my interesting finds in September of last year was something I will still call my “porno” CD ;). I was listening to a track on a streaming radio program and it happened to be one by Nick Faber called Same Girl, Different Wig. I really liked the track and wondered where it was released so I could get the CD. So began my extensive search for it… I found out surprisingly that it was on a seemingly obscure double CD from the UK called Suck It and See
More on music (currently listening to That Feelin’ by The Rurals [Franco, take that as a hint of a recommendation for the love of Rhodes!])…
